Not going to lie, this week has been tough. From this recent family drama to layoffs to my Tigers losing this afternoon, I feel a little down and out. I’m trying to keep my head up even though I have a feeling all hell will break loose this week.

All that being said, I have the most INCREDIBLE boyfriend in the world. He has been so supportive and helpful throughout all the drama that has been thrown into my life recently. I am so lucky.

I read all of New Moon last night. I’m beginning Eclipse tonight.

I love where I am and what I’m doing, but I want to be in a bigger town.

Recently, I’ve had the urge to audition for a play or a musical. I performed once in high school in a musical, and I had a great time. I somehow think being on the stage or having an outlet like that would be soothing. I wish I were braver and would just go out and pursue it instead of thinking and rethinking.

I have some good friends in my town, but I wish I had more.

I found Stuff Journalists Like yesterday, and I love it! Hilarious and true.

I miss being in college sometimes (even though a lot of the time I’m thankful to have my degree and to be out in the working world.) Today is one of those days where I miss my alma mater, even though my team got smacked around. It’d be nice not to have to worry about working on Thanksgiving or scheduling time off for Christmas.

I love when Lucy curls up by my feet on the couch and passes out. It makes me feel special, plus she’s so warm and precious whenever she naps!

I probably need a nap right now. Maybe I would feel better?

Lucy Belle and I went on a walk this morning for the first time in a while. It was enormously relaxing. I need to wake up earlier every day so we can walk before I go to work.
