Possible New Adventures??


Well last weekend was quite a time.  My parents took Brody to Kearney with them to visit my brother and his fiance, and since I had a free weekend, I decided to take advantage and live it up.  I went out with my BFF on Friday night and had a bachelorette party for a college friend on Saturday night.  But - instead of showing you a bunch of pictures of drunk girls doing things that should NEVER be posted on the internet, I decided to show you what else I have been up too lately.  




I've been feeling antsy, and just plain unhappy lately.  I have decided to change it up in a few areas.  One, being I NEED to get more creative, and get back into graphic design.  I have been kicking around a few ideas, and am going to start up small.  I have a plan though, that will hopefully, and thankfully take awhile to get going.  I have a great job, NOW, but I know this job will not last forever, due to greedy family of my ever aging boss.  Let's just say, I am thinking of the future, while building on it now.


The other area that needs some tweaking, I'm sure you can all guess, is my love life.  As much as I love him, I just don't know anymore.  How can someone who can't be without you be so indecisive about things?  Yeah, that's what I think too.  I'm not DONE with it, just open to the idea of something else.  I even gave out my number to two guys this weekend.  Both have called.  One MIGHT be a good thing, the other has turned into a stalker from which I have now blocked on my phone.  Seriously creepy - but a story for another time.  The way I see it, two can play at Adam's game.  We'll see who wins.

Yikes, the dating days. Blech! That was such an uncertain time.

Aspen Real Life said...

Your positive attitude and your creativity will get you far! Live in the present but prepare for the future. Mentally moving away from somebody who may not be fulfilling all of your needs is a great start.

The most important thing is for you to take care of Brody and yourself first!

I think you are right... no commitment no real relationship.

Meg said...

Stopping by from SITS and as a single 30 y.o woman I want to warn you, it's tough out there! Granted, I have no idea what your current sitch is so maybe the struggle of dating/meeting jerks is better than the struggle you're in now. I hope it works out for you, either way.
(love your blog design)

Tamara Dawn said...

Congrats on being featured blogger! Cute blog! I just started taking pics of flowers too. I have no idea how to get the background to fade so the flower stands out. That is on my "to-do" list lol!

Hoping your BF gets his act together...dating can be fun and then again not so fun!

I had fun getting to know you! I'll be back :)

Kekibird said...

Love the pictures. And I'm in the same place, I'm needing to be more creative these days to help lift my spirits. I'm hoping to teach a toddler art class to my son and some of his friends. Just so I get to be creative AND I get to teach a bit. Two things I miss desperately.

Good luck with the boys and how ever you decide to go about changing things in your love life. Single parenting and dating are two things are don't go together well. It take some work. I know...I'm there too :o)

Kearny...AZ?? I used to live in Phoenix and frequented the Scottsdale nightlife in my early twenties (not that long ago if i click my heels three times and close my eyes really tight)...definitely some stalkerazzi out there! be careful but enjoy the dating scene....you're a MOMMY not a MUMMY...date it up (in a good way...not a "SAMANTHA" way)!
