Day 659...Year 2

If you would have told me 10 years ago that my middle Brother and one of my best girlfriends were going to be married to each other, I probably would have laughed in your face... But three years ago, my sister by choice became my sister-in-love...

Back when she was living in another city years ago she asked me if I thought she should move back home to the STL... Of course missing her terribly I thought it would be great and it would also give her piece of mind since she is an only child and she could be closer to her parents... Upon moving back she found a condo and being a fantastic friend I offered to clean the worst rooms in the house...The bathrooms... I also volunteered my brother to help with some carpentry type projects around the place as well... (But I am sure he will say he offered to help)  They struck up a friendship and my sister-in-love will attest the fact that it was JUST a FRIENDSHIP, nothing else and of course I believe her because she is a terrible liar...

As the next few years past her and I got matching tattoos, purple and yellow butterflies, mine on the inside of my right ankle and hers on her shoulder blade... 

Well, when I moved to Florida we still kept in touch and she visited a few times... The last time she came alone was in like January 2009 and BFF, her and I went out for drinks at House of Blues and we were having a good old time... Trying to be funny, BFF taunted me about a possible relationship between my brother and Sister-in-love, which if course she vehemently denied and again I believed her because she is a terrible liar and secret keeper...The rest of the trip was fun and it was exciting because my middle brother was coming two weeks later to finally move all of my stuff down from the STL...

This is when I should have known something was rotten in the state of Denmark... The whole time my brother was visiting he kept commenting on how fun it would be to visit Disney with my now Sister-in-love... Mind you he has two kids, that at the time had never been to WDW and I made a point of questioning that... He would kind of blow it off but the real tell was the fact that he wanted to buy her a gift... Not one for his kids but one for her... (insert eye roll and gagging face)

About a week after he went home I got a phone call from both of them... together... They were officially dating... True to my Sis-in-loves word they weren't together at all when she was visiting but when she got back home, her mind started to change and by the time my brother arrived they were both smitten... In fact, he was so smitten that he drove almost an hour in the opposite direction of Florida when he was driving down my stuff...

Disney is truly a place where dreams come true...

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

Day 159 of 366

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

You gotta have friends...

Building relationships is so important, because life is so boring if you have to do it alone... I am so thankful that despite being single, I am not doing this life alone... I am so blessed to have people that truly care about my well being... They text or call when I don't make it to work... They text just to tell you to have a good day or DM me adorable pics to put a smile on my face... Sometimes they will even switch food with you when you ordered the wrong thing, even if what they ordered is their favorite... They are willing to do whatever they can to ensure you are feeling better, or act totally outrageous dumb to get you to smile...  Sure we fight or disagree on things but in the end we love each other and we are here to take care of each other... These friends are so much more than just friends, they are family we got to chose...
