Tomorrow will be complete (insert letter between K and M)

Yeah, tomorrow Charles and Jeremy are coming to destroy our floors under the pretense of finding better floors underneath.
And my boys are coming, plus Ryder's friend Chase (Cody's lil' bro) will come for most of the morning at least and probably into the afternoon.
Dad will be there all day, and he is having a guy we know come over to look at something else later in the afternoon.
Ya know how when you first crush on a person, like, the first time you ever crush, and you build all these castles around them, and you make them the hero of every story? You paint them with silver paint to make them your knight in shinning armor.  You come up with secret names for him that only you and your best friend know, so no one else could guess who you're talking about.  You see them next to you every time you close your eyes and feel their arms around you when you lay down at night.  You imagine a million different ways you could walk up to her and just say "Hi", but you always end up looking the other way...
Well, that person you painted silver will always have this undeniably innocent part of your heart.  They will never let it go.  They will always have silver paint left behind their ears, or under their nails, because no matter how long it's been, or how hard you try, or how much they change, he or she will always be yours.
Yeah.
So, I've been friends with Jeremy for years, and when I first met him I thought 'he would look good in silver'.  So now, no matter how many times I see Cody, or tell myself I could never really love Jeremy, I always have this face in my back of my head.  I swear, it's the all-knowing look Derek Shepard gives Meredith when she won't accept something that is right in front of her.  He looks at me and chuckles and grins and says "Yeah, right"

So, I will go to bed thinking, Yeah Right.

'Most forgot!!!!!

I'm doing a new two-week thing: Wheat.  I learned that, like milk, our bodies cannot completely process wheat. It enters our bloodstream as a group versus the individual nutrients our body needs.  Think of it like an entire Transformers instead of a single lego block.  So, out bodies view this 'transformer' as a foreign body, and treats it like it would any other allergy: pollen, peanuts, cat dandruff, etc.  And it reacts different ways in different people.  They can be obviously allergic to it, or it can come out in small ways.  It comes out as stress.  Stress shows in acne.  So yes wheat can cause acne to be worse.  It won't cause acne, but it can make it worse.
It did get better when I went off caffeine, but for me personally it's not worth giving up coffee for my acne.  It doesn't bother me enough right now, but at least I know if it gets worse there is something I can do to help.  I also cut down on my cream that week, so I am sure that would help, too, if I could switch to almond or coconut milk instead of the cream.  But yeah, we'll see how it goes! Wed. was day one, and I'm not sure if I can do the whole two weeks bc I think I'll be in Ft. Worth for the last couple of days...

I can't eat bread, crackers, cereal, soy sauce, noodles, etc.  I can have potatoes, rice and rice noodles, corn (tortillas from corn, not flour; corn bread; tortilla chips) and I can't think of any other starches I eat...

We'll see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also...

Also, starting Wed.  Charles and Jeremy are coming to work at the house.  Yep.  O_0.  Not sure what smiley goes with that so I'm putting a... diplomatic one? I want him to be here and I don't.  IDK, we'll see how it turns out.......................................

I'm good now.

I got to spend the morning working at the hall.  Well, I say working.  I got to go and hang around while they worked on the security system, talked a lot, and waited to see if we would end of needing to go cut trees at Porter.  While they did this, I got to hang with Cody... :D  We hung out for about two hours.  I did kinda follow him around, but hopefully not too much.  I was pretty calm and cool, but like, once or twice I went with him when I didn't have a good reason, but he knew I didn't have anything to do and neither did he, but he would jump in when they dropped the trees in for the front, and I helped him change the ac filters so we worked together, and yeah.  Once when we were walking back from the shed where he brought the shovels to be put away, we got harrassed a teeny bit, but I kinda ignored it.  My dad needed me to go get something out of the truck and so Charles was looking for me and he opened the front door to see if I was out there and as he did we were walking by talking and he kinda ran with it.  But, he didn't go fast or far, just a few tugs so it was OK.  And mostly to Cody b/c I went to dad to see what he needed.
So yeah, I'm happy now...

Angel, by Jack Johnson - Now Playing

Hello.  I'm sitting on my bathroom floor in front of my heater listening to Pandora on my Nook while I'm on my laptop.  Weird, I know.
Just wanted to update...I know I haven't posted since Friday. It's been a couple of days!!! ;D
So, Saturday we stayed home, cause, everyone here is sick (with me as the exception, of course) and they didn't feel up to it.  I almost made it in service until I realized I over slept and Dad was walking out the door to conduct, but he didn't stay.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, song playing you have to look up: Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade!!!!!!!)
Then Sunday, we didn't go cause they were sick and I refused to go by myself again and have to ask for a ride home.  I don't like doing that.
Then Monday my boys came back.  And TAuesday my boys came back again.  Then Tuesday night we actually all made it to the meeting! Me, Mom, and Bro were there early but Dad had to run to Beaumont earlier so he was late getting there (and he had local needs so he couldn't stay home and be sick like he needed too) but it was all good!
I got to use my Nook again during the meeting.  I love, love having all my books on there.  It makes everything so much easier.  Not having to make sure I can find all my books, then keeping them all in my purse and that can't be good for it!
Then after the meeting I talked to Rachel and it made me feel good, and Charlie and it made me feel good.  I talked to Tyrone and Cody and I felt good.  Managed to completely avoid Alex and that made me feel even better! Until he text me later.  I kinda didn't see it until about twenty past midnight and when I text back he was like, wow I so didn't think you'd be up this late!
But then he text me again today (>_<) and we talked a bit.  Kinda weird when he said it'd be cool if I had my license and could come hang with him at the house.  Yeah, I think not!
I worked out Monday and today, and have done a 12 min. stretch w/o everyday so far.  I did abs Mon. and today was a total body kick-your-butt-and-not-let-you-forget-for-days workout I'll regret tomorrow.  But, I feel good for having done it at all!!!

Ok, I'm gonna try to get my sleepy butt in bed and I'll post again soon!!!

<3

Oh, happy days, happy days at last!

Hi hello!!!
Bon Soir!
Aloha!

Hehe, I may be in a really good mood right now, I can't tell... ;D

So, I've had this entire week off from babysitting and it's been almost perfect heaven.  I felt good all day Monday.  I think it's because Monday helped reaffirm what my element is.  Where I know I belong.  I looked absolutely amazing in bell bottom jeans, black booties, and a tight, slimming navy blue turtleneck with perfect hair and incredibly flattering side bangs.  I am most certainly never my own biggest fan, and it's something I need to work on, but I know I rocked myself that day!!!
I had my first ortho appt with Dr. Kimbrough.  Dude rocks.  He's been in the biz for like, 40 years and he is awesome, like, as a person in general.
I also had an appt with the ppl in Porter, but I didn't like them at all.
But, lemme explain the element thing:  I wasn't sure what kind of person I was for a long time.  I wasn't completely a "deer camp" girl, I wasn't a pink-blouse-with-french-mani/pedi-barbie-convertible kind of girl.  I'm not emo, scene, goth.  I'm not artsy, like, way into it.  I love forms of self-expression, but not in a way that it controls, or is even one of the main focuses of my life.  Then a few months ago I realized who I am.
I am a girl who needs more class in her life.  By class, I'm talking about the people who can go sit at starbucks for the morning with their tablets or laptops simply because they want to pass some time.  Who wear all the right clothes, and always seem to come together in a appealing way with that beautiful art-form flourish of not even thinking about it. Who keep it simple, classy, unassuming, and pleasant.  I'm that girl.

Or... I want to be.
And I will be one day!
But Monday, I woke up, got ready to go, knew instantly what I would wear, the accessories that would go with it, and that I'd look stunning without a second thought.  Who was ready in plenty of time, no rushing.  Got to the appt with time to spare, time to sit, read teen vouge and relax.  Was cool and confident, friendly, with the strange guy I had never met.  Then we left, and sat in Starbucks while waiting until it was time to go to the next one.  I got my drink, played around with my tablet, then we decided to run into Walmart across the street.  I picked out some new make-up and hair things (and am so glad I did.  I cam out with some amazing products I didn't even plan on getting but I now love).  And the day was relaxed, simple, fulfilling, and perfect.

Tuesday I ended up doing Mom's talk at the hall.  I ended up in the front, and there was a whole disaster with the microphones but between me and my impromptu householder we were able to pull it off quite nicely if I may...

Wed. we had another appt with Dr. Kimbrough.  Mom was really sick by then, but she was able to still take me.  I loved his office all over again and read a few more pages in the mag, but still havne't had enough time to finish it!!! (Plus, I got a pencil, smencil, and gum. Hehe)

Thursday wasn't as good.  My friend Elsa and her sister smAsh canceled on me to go to the mall Friday.  And I've been way way way way way looking forward to this!  I was pretty... "arugh" about it all.  And I expected to feel really bad about it today.  But, the first thing I did when I woke up was check my phone to see what time it was.  I had four e-mails, two gmail two yahoo.  I knew the gmails were probably Polyvore so I checked them asap, then checked Ymail because I hate having those little alerts at the top of my phone...
Well, Best. Decision. Ever.

I found an email from Cody (yes, cody!!!) and I was way surprised because I very, very rarely get emails from him.  Well, he had sent me an attachment that was the draft of the first few pages he wrote for a book that he wanted my opinion on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
For me, this is huge.  This is "omg, he actually asked me.  Not his cousin Kathy who he it really close to, or his brother, Andy, or anyone else.  He.  Asked.  Me."  And, too.  Books are my thing.  Like, I own books and anything to do with them or writing f any sort because that is a huge part of who I am.
So, like, I am in seventh heaven with this.  I opened it, read it, and told him I like it a lot so far, that it was really good and I couldn't wait to read some more of this.   And I can't! The story itself has an incredible potential.  There's a lot of directions he could go and they would all make for an incredible story!  I'm so so proud of him, even more than when he told me he was gonna try to get some of his songs produced!!!
He plays guitar, writes songs, writes books! Loves coffee, cooks, and has the most beautiful laugh.

Could he be more perfect?
(Lady X, but another time I'll explain how that is going)
