| Hello again. I don't feel very profound and thoughtful tonight...maybe because It's past my bedtime. So this is just going to be...whatever.
This past weekend was lovely! I worked all days and it was the first real warm spell of the season. Though a bit hot for spring, it was a lovely change of pace: 80's and sunny Friday through today and cool nights. The only problem was this spring fever hit CFA full force and I did a little bit more goofing off and a little less work than I should have on Saturday and today...oops. :D It's ok, I need to do that every once in awhile. It wasn't terrible, just a little less productive than normal. Anyways, the nights this weekend took me back to my younger carefree days when I was counting down the days till summer, no school, and just driving around with friends (especially Double E) and doing fun stuff. I miss that sometimes. Growing up is stressful and there is not enough time for aimless frolicking. That is why I make a point to do it whenever I can. And warm weather inspires me.
This is going to be one busy summer. I feel like I say that every summer. But it's true. Weddings, wedding and baby showers, Alive, Atlanta, HOF, Double E stuff, church, work...it all never ends. Good times though.
Sometimes I feel like I'm in middle school still. I'm probably never going to be a real grown-up. Maybe I should try to find Peter Pan. :)

| And after almost exactly a year, I'm back again. Why? Um, I just felt like it. As I have stated before, I like writing down my thoughts, feelings, and such. It's not like anyone actually reads people's Xangas anymore. :) So away I go....
I am currently 25.6 years old. I am a manager/team leader/unofficial GM/emotional slave @ Chick-fil-A in the food court of Westfield Shoppingtown of Belden Village. April 30 will be my 9 year anniversary. I love my job and I hate my job. I love the people I have met, become friends with, and work/ed for/with. I hate the seemingly never-ending transitions. I sometimes feel appreciated, but most of the time I just feel overworked, underpaid, exhausted, and stressed. Don't get me wrong...I am who I am because of this job. This might sound weird, but that's how CFA works. It's a great company and I have a BILLION memories (most good, and a lot of bad). I also makes me feel like I've accomplished something meaningful (?) with my life. We are not your ordinary fast food chain. (We prefer "quick service". :)) I just wish I could be doing what I really want. CFA is not what I really want. For awhile, that was ok....but it's starting to wear on me in a more permanent way, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I will try as hard as I can to not let my discontent affect my job performance. I have too much respect for too many people to do that. I just really hope that MY time is coming. So many people have come and gone, and that always makes me feel happy and sad. Another round of that is coming up here soon, and I feel like it just happens all the time. Great people are coming back, but other great people are leaving for a long time/forever. Change is not my favorite thing. Just as I seem to get a tiny bit settled, everything gets all shifted around again, and it's so hard for me. Something else that makes it hard is that I start wishing that I was the one moving on for a change. For the last 5 or so years, I kept feeling like I was getting left behind all the time. I just wonder when it's going to be my turn. But then there are the days that my job makes me happy. I'm lucky I have a steady paycheck, coworkers that I love and am friends with, a semi-flexible schedule, and the fact that I go to work everyday in a familiar setting where I basically know what to expect. Patience....it's sort of my least favorite thing ever.
This is what I want to do with my life: get married and volunteer at museums. The End. Simple, right? WRONG!!!
I don't feel like it's that much to ask for. I am almost 26. Marriage would be nice. And a break from a constant full-time working schedule would be nice. I would like to get involved in my passions. Oh well. Someday? I keep hoping...and people keep telling me that my day will come. Sometimes I get REALLY tired of hearing that...but mostly when I am especially grumpy. :)
My body is slowly starting to fall apart. My bad knee is worse. I seem to just be tired all the time. I get sick more than I ever have. My hips lock up when I sit or stand in certain positions. At this rate, I'll be in a wheelchair by the time I'm 35! lol
I'll stop complaining now. No matter what, I am thankful for me job. I have THE BEST people in my life, no matter how crazy they drive me. I am blessed beyond all reason to have friends at me job, my church, because of my job, and misc. people I have met along the road of my life. Without these people....I just couldn't imagine. In all of my past bloggings through out the years, that is one thing that remained a constant: the neverending love, patience, and support from a large group of wonderful people. Lucky and blessed don't even begin to cover it. Some people come and some people go, but I have never ever been without.
So I think that's all I want to write about tonight. I have tomorrow off, but I should get some sleep...because I'm old now. :)

| So today was sunny AND warm. *sigh of relief* I think spring might finally be here. If I didn't love silly little Canton, my friends and family, and the fall so much, I would be on the next plane to California. :) I am excited to start walking at my parks again. I need the exercise (and walking is pretty much one of the only things that my stupid knee will let me do) and I just need to be outside. I'm much happier that way. Hmmm, maybe I'll take a book too....
Today is my best friend's little brother's birthday. He turned 17. And I love him dearly. Of course, he is like a little brother to me too, because I grew up with their family and was there when he was born (well, I wasn't actually THERE, but you know what I mean). The strange thing is, I have actually been able to become really good friends with him as well over the last couple of years. He is very mature for his age and is a lot of fun to be around. He works at CFA now, drives, and has a girlfriend. *sniff* They just grow up so fast.  But he is great. So happy birthday to my Angsty!
Now I must do some reading of Harry Potter and get ready for another week of work...hooray?

| So I really should be in bed now because I work at 8. The problem is, I am having a sort of Prince Caspian "fit". hehe I watched the trailer (again) tonight when I got home from work and started freaking out (again). These stories are just so close to my heart...and I am actually crazy.
It was 60 degrees and sunny today, which made me want it to be spring/summer. I mean, it technically is spring now, but it doesn't feel like it at all. Except for one small sign: BASEBALL!!! THE SEASON HAS BEGUN!!! In case you couldn't tell by all my capitol letters, I am VERY excited. I'm even looking in to paying for some extra cable MLB channels...again, it's because I'm crazy. :)
This summer is shaping up to be a busy and fun one:
-CFA grand opening
-Prince Caspian
-other good movies
-Alive
-vacation to the beach!
-the usual Hall of Fame activities
-lots of babies being born
-um, lots of fun and random hanging out time with my friends
(Sorry, but I like making lists...it makes me feel better.)
Well, since I am not young anymore, I'm going to pay for this late night by being miserable at work tomorrow. I just can't stay up late and live on little sleep like I used to. I am actually 24 going on 85. Oh well, I will just come home, take a nap, and watch the Prince Caspian trailer a couple (hundred) more times and everything will be ok.
