You know that feeling where you have no idea why you are sad? Why in the world do I want to cry about everything in the world? Why does everything piss me off for no reason? It's not like I am bleeding or anything. I was fine yesterday.
And then that moment of realization. Oh wait. I know what's happening.
You guessed it. That week before the monthly cycle that us women get. Yep, P.M.S.
My sister, our friend, and I were discussing this wonderment of our lives yesterday. We were talking about how even when you are on the pill and know when your period will be coming. Somehow we all forget when that actually will be coming.
So there is this mystery at the beginning of the PMS week. Everything is completely normal until that day when it starts. You are irrationally emotional about anything that comes in contact with you. I mean anything.
The dishes are lying out on the kitchen counter and you would like to chuck them at the walls because everyone left them for you to do. You take one little comment and turn it into an attack and immediately jump on the defensive of something that wasn't even be argued.
Haha it is so very funny in retrospect. But in the moment, you are thinking... what the hell is wrong with me? Am I going nuts?
It takes you a while to remember and look at your pill packet to realize... oh yes, IT is coming. This is completely normal.
I can sort of understand why we drive men insane. I mean, I myself think I am insane at least one day every month depending on how long it takes me to figure out what is actually occurring.
Feel free to laugh at yourself when this happens to you. I mean, who minds getting a little bit of endorphins at the expense of thinking you're a little nutso for an hour or so.

Joke, Joke, Joke
Life sure is funny. You can be given a situation that you view as terrible, and then there it is... that silver lining. It is a blessing in disguise, in cliche speak.
Recently, I have gained a wonderful friend. This is not something I would expect to come out of a break-up with a shared ex-boyfriend. I didn't know her before I met him. I spoke to her a few times before I had moved out of his house. But after the break-up I decided to reach out to her in need of someone that understood to talk with. From that we discovered many shared interests. One of those things was our passion for writing and reading. Nothing could have been more of a blessing than that.
I delved back into writing on this here blog of mine. We began talking more and more, and during those talks we decided to start a group blog with five other girls from across the country. Through creating this blog, we just got closer and began talking a lot more. We have recently decided to combine our dreams for becoming authors and are collaborating on a novel. This past Wednesday, August 17th we were able to meet up downtown Chicago and hang out. It was a wonderful day, and it solidified what both of us have since said. We feel as though we are going to be lifelong besties.
Now we have MUCH more than just an ex-boyfriend in common. She has been there for me and I hope I have been there for her.
So when I say, it is funny. It really is quite funny how you can meet some people. You've got to love the humor in life!
p.s. I am so excited to begin writing this book!

I love feeling every muscle in my back... and arms... and legs... and chest... and abs work as I move.
There is something amazing about the feeling you get when you are consistently working out your body. It doesn't really matter what work out it is, honestly. As you may know, I do an accelerated yoga workout combined with a 40 minute power walk with my dogs every day. But, it could very well just be having short walks every day or lifting a few weights for this matter.
I was simply walking up the stairs to my bedroom, and I could feel the muscles in my chest, back, and arms moving around as I did. It's funny how the act of taking care of your body can make you notice the intricacies of your body as a whole.
The way I noticed the muscles doing their beautiful dance about their places on my body was sort of poetic as it was happening. It was like the analogy of the blind person that can finally see. I for some reason was awakened to what my body does as it moves. It was a quite simple, yet beautiful thing.
I find it ironic that just as someone's simple day-to-day generous actions can go unnoticed or unacknowledged, just as easily the tiny things that our body does to move around or simply sit go pretty unnoticed to us most of the time.
Ah the simple beauties of life. The feeling I have in my body of having such strength is definitely corresponding to my feeling today of feeling strength within myself. I feel like I have grown so much with my inner strength lately. To any who understand: I feel my lady balls expanding.

The Secret Life of the Unemployed Graduate
My younger sister (college graduate as of this May) and I (college graduate as of May 2009) are both recently unemployed. We spend most our days applying and hoping for a job to fill our time. However, the other day my sister tweeted something quite true: "Years ago I wished I was a cat because all day long they sleep and wander the house. Unfortunately my wish came true,except I'm not as cute."
The life of the unemployed is always one you dream of, mostly, because usually it involves having large amounts of money. That is most definitely not the case here. When you imagine your life not having to go to work everyday, lounging around, getting a tan, watching a million movies it usually DOES involve some time out of the house. Funny story... most things that people do outside of the house involve money. That leaves us at this very point in time. A slightly humorous, ultimately boring life to lead is that of the broke and unemployed.
It is quite lovely when you have an amazingly supportive and lovely family that will pay your student loan payments for you when you are not employed. That is one very happy note to make here. *Very Grateful*
moving on...
I thought I would recap a typical day in the life of a broke, unemployed gal such as myself. Now, this is not every day, just a normal day. So here goes:
1. Wake up around 9 or 10 a.m. depending on how late I was up the night before.
2. Check phone and return any texts received while asleep. *Text friends through out the entire day, but I am not going to note that a million times.
3. Make my way downstairs to make a healthy breakfast, typically eggs.
4. Watch How I Met Your Mother with my sister until 11 a.m.
5. Go upstairs and do my accelerated yoga workout.
6. Put gym shoes on. Grab dog leashes and go outside to take my two dogs on a 40 minute long power walk-since I cannot run due to a back injury that gets inflamed. (To spice up my days and have a "project" I have been working on sticking in good physical shape with exercise and healthy eating.)
7. Check and make various updates to my interweb stuff. (Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, my group blog, this very blog, job listings and my email) *this step continues through out the day
8. Make myself a healthy lunch then shower
9. Watch television shows that I have DVR'd while doing step 7 and getting "ready for the rest of the day" *this usually lasts quite a while.
10. Check any stories about Chicago sports teams.
11. Bring the dogs in from their run and feed them.
12. IF I have a moment of creativity I will write during this time.
13. Make myself a healthy dinner.
14. Watch the Nightly News.
15. Do weird things, listen to sister's jokes, make weird noises, etc. because I am bored.
16. Step 7.
17. Get a little hungry and get some Skinny Cow candy bars. (DELICIOUS btw)
18. Goof around with my sister... watch television shows that I do not care about. ( If I watch shows that are being DVR'd it throws off the routine of the day for the next day)
19. Wash face, brush teeth,, make sure room is in order etc.
20. Step 7 plus mindless television watching or listening to music until I get tired. (If sleepiness becomes difficult then take a Tylenol PM)
21. Sleep.
So next time you think about how you'd like to be a cat. Read this routine and have a good laugh.

Hidden Treasure
Some special pieces that I really love are these rings and necklace that are dedicated to the fight against breast cancer. 50% of the proceeds are donated to research for the fight.
I chose to buy this bracelet with different color beads.
So the thing to take away from this is: GO check out: Bashful Owl designs by Shannon
You definitely won't regret it. Or maybe you will when you buy every single thing on there because you can't choose just one. Either way I'd say it's a win situation.

Silent War
Hmmm those wonders...
I have always been one to convince myself that I don't like guys that are interested in me- the good guys. I run away immediately. When there is genuine feelings being expressed I chalk it up to me "not having the same feelings" for that person. Is this possibly self preservation? Possibly from the things I have seen- I tend to get too fearful of the good... because I figure it will go away?
The funny thing is that I remember being this way when I was very young too. I had this "boyfriend" when I was in fourth grade or so. He wrote me a letter once. He ended the letter with calling me a pet name like "sweet pea" or "pooky" or something of the sort. I freaked out. I remember the mess that was going on in my stomach to this day. I immediately thought this was not good and that I needed to not be with him anymore. I have no idea why this was my reaction at such a young age. It makes me laugh every time I think about it.
The thing that makes it so weird is that I have this same feeling every time someone that is not being a total creep or douchebag expresses some emotions towards me. This happened recently to me. Someone I know quite well expressed that they have been in love with me for a while.
I came to a point- as of late-where the last thing I want right now is to jump into another relationship. This was before this person expressed these feelings.
Is this me self preserving again? Am I convincing myself I don't have feelings that I do? Or do I simply not feel the same?
Right now...I really don't want to run into the first person's arms that happen to come around. I don't want to make a mistake. I don't want to be seen as weak, I also don't want to be confused as to whether it is actually about the feelings I have for that person or rather the attention they are giving because I am alone.
I am completely humbled that this guy still wants to hear about my hurts even though it pains him to hear these things about another guy or whatever it may be. He still wants to be there for me. That is incredibly humbling. And I am not sure if that is really fair to him. I don't want to cause that sort of pain in someone else that I care for.
"I may be in love... But more importantly I chose to love... So when you need me I'll be there."
ahhh the silent wars we have within ourselves. It's a thinker.
peace and blessings all!

A journey with a man inside a book
It is funny and enlightening when you come upon something in your day to day life that makes you change your mind completely. I have just recently read a book that changed my perspective on my faith significantly.
The Shack by Wm. Paul Young was an beautifully written book about a man whose daughter is abducted on a family vacation. It follows him through a trip back to the shack where investigators found her bloodied dress. In this book, he spends a weekend with God.
I have to admit that when the book was suggested to me the last thing I wanted to read about what a man who "spent a weekend with God" in a shack in the middle of nowhere. He is invited to this shack by God. As I began reading this beginning part of the book I became more and more skeptical. I have not been having the best time with my faith. I have developed a lot of questions in my mind. I have become more and more confused about what I believe. I believed in a higher power, but I wasn't sure to what extent I believed in Him or it or whatever. I have a lot of questions because of death, 'sins' dealing with homosexuality and the like, and to what extent our life is already decided for us. I thought a lot of things did not make sense.
For one thing I have from a very young age not know why people are taken from us. Why, if they are good people, would their lives end to early or be taken in a brutal force? It was all very confusing to me. After reading this book, however, it was explained in a way that I thought understandable. The writer explained it as God not trying to justify why the bad thing happens, but rather taking the thing that is bad (which is caused by evil stemming from free will God gives us) and redeeming it with something good in the end. It is so that basically God does not "let" this bad thing happen.
I also saw this quote in the book about our pain that come from such bad things: "Don't forget that in the midst of all your pain and heartache, you are surrounded by beauty, the wonder of creation, art your music and culture, the sounds of laughter and love, of whispered hopes and celebrations, of new life and transformation, of reconciliation and forgiveness. These also are the results of your choices, and every choice matters, even the hidden ones."
I have also never understood things about sinning. How can we possibly follow these ancient commandments in a world such as this, being human nonetheless? It is impossible.If you do these things, are you immediately sentenced to an eternity in hell if you don't change your ways (such as being homosexual-- my aunt and uncle are both homosexual and this topic has always affected me)? There were several things said about Christians and the church and how they have clung to these rules and granted themselves the right to judge everyone else. I hate how me being Christian makes me assumed to be like this... or to be no fun... or weak because my belief in such a thing bring me great comfort and peace. I found this part in the book that explains in several places about what can be said about this subject: "Enforcing rules, especially in more subtle expressions like responsibility and expectation, is a vain attempt to create certainty out of uncertainty. And contrary to what you might think, I have a great fondness for uncertainty. Rules cannot bring freedom; they have only the power to accuse."
"Religion must use law to empower itself and control the people needed in order to survive. I give you an ability to respond and your response is to be free to love and serve in every situation, and therefore each moment is different and unique and wonderful. Because I am your ability to respond, I have to be present in you. If I simply gave you a responsibility, I would not have to be with you at all. It would now be a task to perform, an obligation to be met, something to fail."
"Let's use the example of friendship and how removing the element of life from a noun can drastically alter a relationship. Mack, if you and I are friends, there is an expectancy that exists within our relationship. When we see each other or are apart, there is an expectancy of being together, of laughing and talking. That expectancy has no concrete definition; it is alive and dynamic and everything that emerges from our being together is a unique gift shared by no one else. But what happens if I change that expectancy to and expectation -- spoken or unspoken? Suddenly, law has entered into our relationship. You are now expected to perform in a way that meets my expectations. Our living friendship rapidly deteriorates into a dead thing with rules and requirements. It is no longer about you and me, but about what friends are supposed to do, or the responsibilities of a good friend."
Overall, my thought on my faith have become a little less complicated after reading this book. I really enjoyed it. I felt as though I was going through the journey that this man was going through along with him. It was, in way, slightly emotional for me.
I highly recommend it for anyone that was in the position that I was while reading it.
Other quotes from the book that I found intriguing:
"Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you. And the more you know another, the richer the colors of that relationship."
"Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak."
"If anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will ever be the same again."
"I am a verb. I am that I am. I will be who I will be. I am a verb. I am alive, dynamic, ever active, and moving. I am a being verb."
"Nouns exist because there is a created universe and physical reality, but if the universe is only a mass of nouns, it is dead. Unless 'I am,' there are no verbs, and verbs are what makes the universe alive."
"The Bible doesn't teach you to follow rules. It is a picture of Jesus. While words may tell you what God is like and even what he may want from you, you cannot do any of it on your own"
"It is not the nature of love to force a relationship, but it is the nature of love to open the way."
"You demand your independence but then complain that I actually love you enough to give it to you."
"If I take away the consequences of people's choices, I destroy the possibility of love. Love that is forced is not love at all."
"Just because you make horrendous and destructive choices does not mean you deserve less respect for what you inherently are-- the pinnacles of my creation and the center of my affection."
"The person who lives by his fears will not find freedom in my love."
"Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors."

"Emotions are the colors of the soul-- they are spectacular and incredible. When you don't feel, the world becomes dull and colorless."
Peace all!
