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)
