A little part of the Big story.....fka "My Year to Thrive"

My favorite word in highschool was Lagniappe thanks to Dr. Sims. Lagniappe is 'a little something extra.' I just like the word and the french origin. Hope you enjoy a little something extra today!

Wednesday thoughts

1) How are you supposed to act in November when the time changes so it is dark super early but it is still slightly warm outside so all you want to do is play? I am still planning afternoon activities like I have all the hours in the world after work. But I don't. This has thrown me off the last few days. Didn't they vote to move daylight savings time out a few weeks? I might just run my world as if the time didn't change.
2)I really miss some of my college friends. Like really miss them. It's weird to me that there are people you adore and could see often on campus and now you are lucky if you see them once a year and that visit is usually for weddings when you really cant catch up much anyway. If I have any free time I will go visit Austin, TX and see Mrs. Julia Hooks, Jackson, MS and see my soul mate Ashley Abide, Charleston and see Fran, Nashelville and see Leah and Oxford and see Rachel. On the way home I'd stop in Athens to play with Charlsie - you can't get enough of her and then I'd head over to Smyrna and see my newest married friend, Ashley Nolan. This would be my Southeastern tour, with a little stop off in Texas. I think I fear visiting Texas because I know I could move there. I like cocky states. I like arrogant things. This doesn't sound right - let's clarify: I am attracted to confidence. And Texas has it. Texas may even stink in some parts but they know it and they own it.
3)I love my jazz shoes. They are the ugliest article of clothing that could ever be worn but they serve great purpose. I have never really spoken what it is I would love to do because it is really just this thing in my head. More so, I see myself as this person and so I hate to bring it to actuality and then realize that I really am not the superstar I think I am. In my own world I am a parade dancer. yes, like when you went to Disney World for the 75th anniversary or New Years or something and Snow White comes dancing down the side of the street. She is all smiles and twirls. That is me - in my own world, all smiles and twirls. In my jazz shoes on a good day I can spin many many times and I don't even care if it looks good - you feel good doing it.
4) I have fallen for this Starbucks thing. I am embarrassed to say it and no, I am not addicted. I like the way it makes me feel. This is true - not only do I get a coffee, I get an experience. This morning I even had a free coupon for anything I wanted. Now, if you want to start your day off right - have someone else treat you to a coffee. I feel like I have already succeeded and we are only in the 9th hour of the day. Where most people would say they want a medium at DunkinDonuts - I want a Grande at the S'buck. Don't you just tingle when you get to order a grande or even venti anything? More so, they call my name out when my drink of choice is ready. I do hate it when they repeat my order on a picky day outloud. This is somewhat uncomfortable. What if there is a cute boy in the shop and he is pretending to read the paper and sip his black coffee b/c that is how real men take it - and then he overhears the barista calling out a grande vanilla latte 1/2 decaf with 1/2 nonfat milk and 1/2 soy and 2 splendas with a little extra foam? That is slightly exaggerated but if I were a cute boy having my morning coffee and I saw a cute girl like myself ordering that concoction I would immediately lose interest in the high maintenance coffee orderer. So often, i choose the drive through. At the Peachtree Starbucks near my house (there are 5 within 2.1 miles) I love Brett, the drive through man. He always has a great story to tell me and is very personable. I really dont go enough for him to know me but I guess I made an impression and he remembers me. I like this too.

I really need to find something productive to do today. Whenever I am in this position I start to put together my database. This makes me feel accomplished at the end of the day. Do you know anyone who needs some money? I am never too busy for any of your referrals!!!! How great is that!

Hello Love! I would also like to be productive, but as it turns out, I suck at being productive.

I talked to maggie last night and she and I decided that we would do better if we didn't have to have a job.

I could find lots of things to occupy my time.
