Today is a special day for me. For those of you that have been with me through it all, you know what I have overcome and what I overcame.. and the transition that I have made. Two years ago today was my first day off the pills that warped my world. I have come so far since then and am sooo proud of myself. Yes, life has it's everyday ups and downs, but when it comes down to it, Life is Great!! Lots of times I find myself getting down on myself over what I have lost over the years.. lost friends, lost love... Then I snap myself out of it and realize that everything I went through lead me to where I am today. And today I am much different than I was a few years ago when my mind was altered. Today I am much happier. Today I can take care of myself. Today I do take care of myself! Today I know what kind of person I want to be and I know what kind of partner I want to be and more importantly, I know what kind of partner I don't want to be!! I've done a complete 180 since I got my life back together. Now I'm able to say that I regret a lot of things that I did, I regret a lot of the pain I caused for people that I loved. But I cannot change the past.
And I'm getting another beautiful tat this month that represents my two years and the struggles I'm overcoming right now... I love it! God, I'm soooo happy!! =) Who wants to come with me?? LOL
I have bought my own place and am dealing with everything that comes along with purchasing a home. LOL... Oh boy! Taxes do SUCK! =) And I'm also dealing with being single and owning a home. Boy is that hard! But you know what? I CAN do it! I'm not afraid of being alone. (well sometimes I am!) Honestly, I can't wait to find my soulmate that will treat me with the love and compassion that I will give him. Someone I can shower with affection and that will shower me with affection. Someone that I can curl up on the couch with and cuddle. Someone that I can tell all my dreams, thoughts, worries, fears and emotions to (I wear my heart on my sleeve) and vise versa. Someday I'll find him. I know I will!! I know people like this do exist.
Hmm, let's see.. What takes up most of my time... The first thing is work, but that's okay because lucky for me I love the people that I work with. Most of them are my best friends. I love it there!! It's a lot of fun! How many people can actually say that about their job?
I love spending time with my friends! I'm always either at someone's house, listening to live music in Monterey, going out for drinks, catching a movie, out to dinner, working out, driving to Monterey and PG just for the beautiful drive, or doing anything to get out of the house.
I'm having fun getting use to having my own home. It's coming along quite nicely. My four children (Smokey, Tubby, Yoda and Spooky) love it here!!
Other than that, I enjoy soaking in the home life, taking long looks around me, taking a deep breath, and thanking God for where I am in life... =)
Pam and I are the BEST of FRIENDS!!!
Life is GRAND! I can't express that enough! My friends are the best family!********************************************************** ***********************************************************
My boyfriend Geddy... He's out on tour right now so I don't see much of him... :(

My Interests

***I've been walking a lot lately to try and become more healthy. I've also drastically changed my eating habits due to wanting to be healthy and because of some health issues that have popped back up.***

***I've also been spending more time with my parents and my sister and her family! I'm so happy to have them close to me again!***

***I love driving to the Monterey area and walking in PG and going to sit at the beach and take in the beauty. I'm really looking forward to going out and doing new things to have a great time and experience more of what life has to offer! Life is GREAT !!!! I'm having sooo much fun now!!***

***I love my cats and wouldn't give them up for the world.***

***I have loved photography ever since I was little. I take after my dad. He is a photographer and taught me young. In college I majored in Photography but fell away from it due to..well..life changes I guess you could say. But I'm going to jump back in head first!***

***I love going down to the lakehouse to relax and take in the beauty of nature.***

***I also love to write. I write about my feelings and innermost thoughts and express myself in written word as well as verbal therapy with my best of friends. :) ***

***I love deep conversations with people about anything...But I love talking to people who have been through the same experiences as me...It makes me feel better and realize I'm not alone and completely fucked up...But if I don't feel that comfortable around you I won't open up and I'll pretty much be shy and quiet. I hate when I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around people.. Some people need to loosen the hell up...***

What kind of Bird are you?
Raven
You're most like the Raven. The Raven is pretty intelligent and so are you. You seem to have a darker personality than others or at least you seem to experience emotions a lot more. Ravens aren't as rare as some other birds which just goes to show that there are a lot of other people who feel the same way you do.

Your Birthdate: August 19
Your birth on the 19th day of the month adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your life path.But at the same time, it poses a number of obstacles to overcome before you are able to be as independent as you would like. The number 1 energy suggests more executive ability and leadership qualities than your path may have indicated.A birthday on the 19th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. However, a somewhat self-centered approach to life that may be in conflict with some of the other influences in your life.This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush.You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed.You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations.You do not tend to follow convention or take advice very well.Consequently, you tend to learn through experience; sometimes hard experiences.The 19/1 is a loner number and you may experience feelings of being alone even if you are married.You may take on a tendency to be nervous and angry. What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
