current happenings

another blog that I am stealing, but it looks like fun =)

Current Book: right now I'm in between books, I just finished Dan Brown's 'The Lost Symbol' and loved it. I'm really picky about what I read so if you have any suggestions please send them my way and I will check it out! What I have been currently reading however is a TON of baby info =) I love babycenter.com right now.

Current Playlist: Currently I have had Airplanes by BoB featuring Hayley from Paramore stuck on replay.. not sure why but I just love it so much right now.

Current Color: my fingernails I usually leave a clear coat of Nail Envy by O.P.I., but my toenails always have my favorite nail lacquer of Lincoln Park After Dark by O.P.I.

Current Drink: well, being pregnant I don't have a lot of variation, usually water, gatorade or milk is what I stick to.. every now and then I'll have a soda but I'm trying to stay away from caffeine

Current Food: just had my nightly snack, this time a Clif Bar, so I can take my prenatal vitamin

Current Favorite Show: I have a hard time picking just one... Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara just kicked off their new seasons so I'm pretty hooked on those, and I've recently become intrigued by Swamp People on the History Channel, though I'm not sure why yet lol

Current Wishlist: that we have a healthy baby, that I have a fun and safe trip home, that my husband stays safe while in training for his deployment

Current Needs: additional money is always nice for the family but I don't really feel like I'm in need of anything right now.. maybe some maternity clothes haha!

Current Triumphs: that I've been able to put aside a part of me that has been so destructive in my life for so many years... that I've created a home for my husband and myself that is cozy and comfortable to live in...

Current Bane(s) of My Existence: my husband, the thought of our little nugget growing so fast in me right now, getting anxious to feel baby kick for the first time and to have a real belly, to get home for my little vacation lol

Current Celebrity Crush: umm not real sure, but Johnny Depp has always been on my top 5 =)

Current Blessings: my family, my husband, that I was able to get pregnant (little nugget is included in this), my friends

Current Indulgence: I can't seem to stay away from nutty bars lately lol it's getting frustrating because I need to be eating healthier than I have been the last few days

Current Outfit: my fluffy pink robe I always wear after I shower.. soo soft and comfy

Current Excitement: I have a life growing inside of me right now! and I get to go home Wednesday to see my friends and family <3

Current Mood: tired and anxious and relieved I finally got to talk to my husband tonight...

 Munster
Carolina
Stitchy Poo


Essential to Start Your Day: doing a little bit of cleaning oddly enough lol since I'm not working I'm pretty relaxed about my morning.. when I was in school 'n working I absolutely had to have my coffee otherwise I was not someone you wanted to be around

Pet Peeve: this sounds really weird, but when toilet paper rolls don't have the feed coming over the top but behind the roll, drives me insane.. or when people leave the toilet seat up, just feels sloppy to me lol.. or grammatical errors.

landslide

well i've been afraid of changing 'cause i've built my life around you.. but time makes you bolder children get older and i'm getting older, too..

i'm writing this from a very changed state of mind, a much different perspective on life, one i've never experienced before. there's been a destructive something that's contaminated my life for the last 7, almost 8 years. something i never thought i'd ever part from. a disorder of sorts. i grew up with it. it's all i've known. it became a part of who i am. until now. my world has been shaken, flipped upside down. and in the best way possible. i found out that my husband and i are having a baby, and we couldn't be more excited. watching this week's episode of glee brought up something that i haven't faced for a while, especially since we found out. something i think i've been running from. and that is the hard reality that i must part with that hidden side of me. i'm honestly somewhat mixed on the whole thing. which seems masochistic, contradictory and selfish. but it's not just giving up the vanity of it, it's permanently saying goodbye to a twin of sorts, a piece of you. a piece that once felt like a vital organ. and it feels to me that i'm not just saying goodbye, i'm having to put it to rest, to sleep, to death. the finality of saying goodbye to something that's been such a deep and intricate part of who i am today is unsettling. i'm not trying to defend the hidden by any means, just trying to shed some light from this perspective, since mine seems to be constantly shifting. i've been terrified of ending this relationship because i didn't know who i was without it. i felt i was no one without it. that i couldn't survive without it. that fear is still there, i'm about to find out what it's like without it and i can't stop shaking. both from fear and anticipation. because i can't stand the thought of having something so destructive a part of my family. the landslide is coming. it's shaking everything, bringing me down. but not really me, just this guard i've had around it, keeping it protected. and it's time to shed this excess weight and move on to the sunshine, i'm getting out of this blizzard.. i can't write anymore as i'm afraid the tears will ruin my keyboard.. but please listen to the video, it's fitting.

last of me

feeling broken, barely holding on. but there's something so strong somewhere inside of me and i am down but i'll get up again. don't count me out just yet. i've been brought to my knees and i've been pushed way past the point of breaking, but i can take it. i'll be back on my feet. this is far from over, you haven't seen the last of me. they can say that i won't be around, but i'm gonna stand my ground. you're not gonna stop me, you don't know me. you don't know who i am. don't count me out so fast. this will be no fade out, this is not the end. i'm down now, but i'll be standing tall again. times are hard but i was built tough. i'm gonna show you all what i'm made of. i'm not going anywhere, i'm staying right here. you won't see me begging, i'm not taking my bow. can't stop me, it's not the end. you haven't seen the last of me.

use somebody.

so i've re-discovered the song "use somebody" by kings of leon, and it's on repeat in my head.

especially this version ^^

it makes me really think about the lyrics of this song.. and i'm not writing this from the most sober of minds but i hope it doesn't deter from what i'm attempting to express in these simplistic words. it's a song that stems deep from the soul. lyrics that reach out and attempt to grab the attention of others. it's a compilation of incomplete thoughts, hopes and dreams. a wish that someone would just pay attention. a wish that someone would see the pain.. the longing for something more.. for a connection, a true connection with others. a connection more than just a superficial facebook hello or an 'i miss you' text. more than just a passing smile in the mall. something real. something tangible. something we can visibly see in front of us and feel with our hearts. our world and lives have become so technological that people barely seem real anymore. i have over 600 facebook friends. probably around 10 of them i really keep in true contact with. i have several followers on twitter, 3 of which i actually know. and i have no idea how many people will see this, if any at all. i guess what i'm trying to get at is that relationships today are nothing compared to what they were or should be. people are fake. people are mean. they bully behind technology and smile to your face. suicide rates have hit all time highs. we no longer have real relationships. people often think i'm crazy when i say that i'm lonely. i get a lot of, 'why? you have so many friends on facebook. so many people will write on your wall, comment on pictures, retweet your tweets..' this doesn't really mean much to me. i have a friend that went out of her way not too long ago to bring me crackers 'n sprite when i was sick. relationships involve actually doing something when they ask you. the phrase 'let me know if you need anything' has become vastly overused and hardly seems like a valid statement anymore. there are very few exceptions to this, 'n i believe there are people out there that truly do mean it when they say that phrase to people... i've just stumbled across a few too many that don't mean it.

this song just really reminds me of the distance between people. i often feel as if i'm watching the world from behind a glass window. as much as i'd like to grab someone's attention, i'm not able to. there's always miles between me 'n the person sitting in the chair next to mine. i wish sometimes i could get someone to see.. to step to my side of the glass, 'n help me break this barrier. doesn't work for me though. maybe it's plexiglass instead -ha!

i hope it's gonna make you notice...
you know that i could use somebody..
i've been roaming around, i was looking down at all i see..
painted faces fill the places i can't reach.......

been thinking...

i always choke when it comes to writing on a blog. i'm not quite sure why. i'd like to use this as a journal type blog but not entirely sure what all to write about... i guess we'll just start with what's on my mind.
i'm currently living in the south, and i'm from the much farther north. today is a day this area considers a "snow day" when there's a half inch of snow on the ground - lol - and they've shut down the entire army post in the area because of it. however this "snow day" has also shut down the city and it's creating quite the boredom.

i typically don't do well with down time, it usually causes my mind to wander. to wander to dark places, past memories, and frightful scenarios. the last couple days have been sort of troubling for my mind. but i have a wonderful husband who allowed me to cry like a baby in his arms last night and share my insecurities. a friend of mine blogged today about what she loved, and i would have to say that i love my husband. i know it's totally 'n completely corny to say it but i love him as a whole, and especially the little things he does. i love the way he randomly comes over 'n just kisses me, just because. i love the way he lets me talk about for hours on end about how i hate my body... and that he will let me finish 'n just look at me like i said the dumbest thing on earth and tells me how beautiful i am. i love how he lets me cry when i need to 'n just holds me when i need it. i love how we have such a stupid sense of humor that can make us both last forever. i love how we're both nerds. and most of all i love how i can tell him how i don't deserve someone as good as him, and he tells me that he's the luckiest guy in the world.

i love him.

and that's all i've got for today
xxlovexmexx
