Cold count down

I got a cold this past weekend..booo... that annoying cough that produces nothing. The joy I have though is the countdown to going home!!! 5 days. I will be going to indy right away then Rachel is coming to visit on the weekend then I am going to Lafayette!!! I am so stoked.

My Birthday 23 and still the baby

OMG I felt so stinking loved on my birthday ...all I can say is thank you papie! I was fearing a depressing feeling for my birthday especially when I lived with awesome roomates the past three years who ALWAYS made me feel very special on my birthday and now I live alone. However through the perks of facebook I got a countdown to my birthday from the friends in west laf and a countless (almost countless) amount of birthday wishes on my wall. That, by the way, I looked at all during work. If that was not enough I got cards and phone calls! Then one of the girls at worked rounded up some people from work and we went out for drinks and dinner.

One thing I just don't understand is why people want to take so many shots for their birthday and get drunk?? You don't feel good the next day and I don't know just dont get it ...sooo besides having to fight off (and not being too successful all the time) shots it was fun to be with people.

Debbie Downer

I have felt like the infamous Debbie Downer lately. I think it has been magnified by being on third shift (11pm-8am) last week and an awesome (yes that is a sarcastic awesome) phone conversation from a family member. Everything I think about is how negative my life is but it SO isn't- it's just so hard to think beyond myself. I believe that most of it comes down to I feel like my job brings absolutely no change for good, especially God, in this world. It's hard to get motivated to go to work for big ole' Nestle

But I did make chocolate banana bread tonight- there's a plus
