I'm an Idiot

Okay, so the USPS lady rung the doorbell, and I knew it would be my new paintings. I ran downstairs, but my keys were upstairs. So, I went to get the key from the backdoor. I guess Gene had taken it out. So, I ran back upstairs to get my key, and by the time I opened the freakin' door, the USPS lady was gone. All I had was a little note to pick it up tomorrow. Argh! So, I saw her down the street. I ran down my street to try to catch her. The sidewalk wasn't that bad, but the ashphalt was crazy hot. I missed her, so I had to run back to the house in my barefeet. I swear, I got 3rd degree burns on my feet. So, still determined, I hopped in my car and chased her around the neighborhood. I flagged her down and waived my delivery slip. I hobbled over to the mail truck, and I retrieved my package! She almost didn't let me have them because I didn't have my license with me. Whew! So, no I can't walk, but my paintings are here! I think I am going to hop downstairs and see if I can find my solarcaine to spray on my feet. Ouch!!!

What the Heck?


So, can anyone identify this animal? I went to Asheville to see the Biltmore, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure. This animal was outside a restaurant we went to eat at. An ROUS possibly?

Summer = Bikini = Yuck

I am officially on a diet. The pool opened last weekend, and I am no where near ready to get in a bathing suit. I am thinking about getting an elliptical machine for one of the extra rooms, but I haven't decided if I am too cheap yet.

What are fun things to do in Charlotte for the summer?

Intrinsic Motivation

I should be studying for my Organizational Behavior and Leadership final exam that I have in five hours. I have read all the materials, made my study sheet, and decided that my brain is full.

Where is morality going in this world? I joined MySpace and all I see seems to be people advertising immorality. I am tired of seeing pictures with the sole intent to seduce. I need to seek Christ more often in my daily life. It is hard to find a guy my age who is interested in God. Where would you find this type of guy?

I feel like I live multiple lives that are divergingly and irrepairably separate. On one hand, I am a PhD student, on another I am a systems developer, on another . . . I am something else. There are so many facets to who I am, and I feel like I can't bring them all together so people can see the culmination of me.

Where'd She Go?
















I am still around everyone! I have just been busy with school and what not. My boyfriend and I are trying to decide if we should stay together or go our separate ways. We have some tough decisions to make. Work is going well. School is going pretty good too. I recently bought a new camera. Here are some pictures of the house.
