Cleaning out my Closets!

     It's Wednesday night... I feel out of sort. I'm not sure what I would normally be doing on any other different Wednesday night! I've kind of felt like that all day... well week really. Maybe it's because I've been sick for several days now (grrr). Maybe it's the weather? The weather here in IL. hasn't really changed all that much lately, other than getting colder! That's something that has always had my heart longing to be some where else!!! Good ol' IL weather! I hate it!! It's suppose to snow 4 inches tonight!!! Nooo!!!!
     For feeling sick, I've had a pretty productive day. I got up and went to work (I was tired by the time I got there) and got a lot accomplished at work. I got some cleaning done, some laundry, some dishes. I'm tired now! I'm trying to relax a little now so hopefully I will be able to sleep well tonight. I painted my nails this color and I'm drinking some flowering tea. It's so good! If you have never tried you, you've got to! It's really neat to watch it turn into a flower from this ugly looking balled up pile of weeds. Haha. It's supposed to be really good for you since it's all natural AND it taste good! I hate how most things that are really good for you taste so bad! No wonder Americans are the most over weight country! THANK YOU MCDONALDS DOLLAR MENU!!!! Haha, but that's a whole nother story and I could write a whole blog on just that topic!
      This is a picture of the dog I dog sat for for a friend today! She's a bull dog and Shar Pei mix. Her name is Payton. She is so freaking cute!!!! I was really surprised how well she listened for being so young and not really being use to me. It's kind of funny too because my dog is normally the one biting and chasing the other dog around... This puppy chased my dog, bit his legs haha it was funny. Wynsten thought it was all fun and games until we got in the car to take Payton home and she jumped on my lap in the car. That's Wynsten's spot and he was not having it! It kind of made me feel good that he was jealous! He's my baby!
     Have you ever had the feeling you just want to clean? Clean things out of your life, not just your closets!? I have that feeling right  now... maybe I'm a little OCD?? I'm open to that thought =) I just want to go through all my stuff and throw all kinds of stuff away. I want to go through all my clothes and get rid of all the clothes I haven't worn in the last 2 months.....and of course that means go shopping for new clothes!!! I just can't wait until all the few styles/fashions are out for Spring/Summer! I'm too excited!
     I'm listening to Five For Fighting "Chances". If you haven't heard it, you should listen to it. It's a great song! "Chances are made to be taken." "Chances are what you make them". So true!

Out of my norm

     It's Tuesday night. Normally I blog at work, but I thought I would take some time out of my "free time" and blog... do something out of my norm. I like to change things up!
      I have been sick now/feeling really crappy for going on a week and a half. It's really irritating and frustrating to feel so bad and not have a reason why. I always want to know "why". I can imagine I was one of those kids when I was younger that would ask my mom/dad "why"... they explain to me and I respond with another "why". Haha. I have kind of been that way my whole life. I don't just want to know.. I want to know why as well, or it just doesn't make sense. As you can imagine I have had a lot of hard times in my life... not only because of the situation I was going through, but because I didn't have a "why". It's a continuous struggle!
     Since I have been feeling so sick I have had some time to watch some movies! Yeah for movies! I haven't fallen asleep in the last 3 I've watched!!! (if you are a close friend you will know why that's such a big deal! haha) I've seen "Black Swan", "Devil" and "Case 39". I don't want to write too much about all of these because I would be up all night writing and I need my beauty sleep! Let's just say "Black Swan" is a whole nother level of crazy ("f-ed up") movie! Wow, I didn't know what I was about to watch walking into the theatre that night! Granite I was with friends so it was all in fun! I'm glad I got to hang out with them, but could have gone with out seeing that movie lol. "Devil" was "OK". I wasn't really impressed. "Case 39" however I really liked! It kind of reminded me of "The Orphan" in some parts. It was really good though. It really gave me the chills and scared me at some points. It's worth watching if you like kind of creepy/scary movies.
     The IL game tonight was awesome!  They played against MI State (which I have come to like MI because that is where my sister and brother in law and family are from). They WON! Yeah! Final score was 71 to 62. There are conflicting stats stating what rank the teams are. (IL 23 and MI 17) Well at any rate they played really well and took the W; However I believe that they need to work on getting rebounds, not just defensively but offensively too! They lost many opportunities to raise the score by not rebounding! I have to say my favorite IL player is Tisdale!!! He seems to have his head in the game and loves the game and he's good!  Whoot Whoot to # 54!!! 



     On another note, I haven't made much progress on my book over the last week or so because of feeling so sick.. same with school. I hope that tomorrow things are going to take a turn for the better and I can get back on track and get some school done and write some more in my book.
