Looking for the weekend

Yesterday was good day. Work was work and not stressful or extrememly busy. After work I wanted to go bike riding but it was just too windy. I instead worked in the yard. I am slowly getting that yard tamed! Once I got cleaned up after the yard work I started getting bored. I am not a person that can sit and watch tv, I like to be active. After a short nap I went to Sufficient Grounds and had some wine while trying to organize some things. Around 10:30 this beauiful blonde came into the coffee house. We ended up spliting a pizza and have a good conversation. After Sufficient closed we went to her place and watched a movie. This woman is so hot and sexy and what a wonderful personality. I hope to see her again soon.

This is going to be a good weekend. I get Branson today, the weather is suppose to be nice, it has the makings for a wonderful weekend not to mention today is payday.

Life

When I graduated high school in 90 I had this grand vision on how my future would be. That vision is no where close to the reality of what my life has become. I do not have multiple vehicles, a large house, horses or even been out of the country yet. I don’t have a tennis court, swimming pool and hot tub in my back yard.
Are these the things that are needed to have a good life? Is this what society tells us to strive for? The reality of my life is that I lease a house with my best friend. I have one vehicle and it is not quite the Porsche that I thought it would be, I don’t even play tennis anymore much less have a court. My life is completely opposite of what I had planned at one time for it to be. So does this make my life regretful?
Absolutely not, in fact I love my life. Is it perfect, no, but who’s is? What I do have is an undemanding job that sacrifices pay for free time. With that free time I do things that are more valuable to me than money. I spend time with my son and I make it to all of his soccer games and school functions. I read, jog, ride my mountain bike, hang out with my friends and sit on the porch and drink coffee/wine. I go to movies and go hiking. I get to do the things that I enjoy, and that to me makes a good life.

Michelle you are Beautiful.

This is me

Introduction

This is my first entry and I am completely new to this blogging thing. After seeing a friend of mine’s blog, I thought this would be a good place to help organize my thoughts and for my friends and family to keep up with me and my hectic and crazy life. I have kept a journal for off and on for years (some of my most personal thoughts will remain only to be recorded in the journal), but I think this would make my life a little more simplistic to record the bulk of my thoughts here. I will from time to time, I am sure, bring up significant issues from the past (such as my nervous breakdown at 28y/o and bouts with depression) as they may relate to issues of the present. This, however, is not a forum to analyze or dwell on the past but more to focus on the future and striving for a better quality of life.

A little personal info about me now, I grew up in an upper middle class, but completely dysfunctional family. My mother was an only child while my father was the older of two boys. My mother and father both grew up during the 50’s in rural Mississippi. No longer do I have any living grandparents and have only 2 first cousins and one sibling. I do not get to see any of my family very often. In fact I just recently saw my sister for the first time in several years. I have one son named Branson. He is the light of my life. I can not imagine my life without him. He fills my life with hope and inspiration. He is my beacon of light when my life turns dark and thoughts of him keep me going when I want to give up. I spend a lot of time with him and because of this, I am sane.
