2010

This past year was pretty great.  I can only imagine what this next year will be like.  Insane, I am sure.

Welp, here's to 2010 and an amazing 2011.

Vacation boredom.

I have been on vacation from work and school for over a week, and it has been awesome - however, I am ready to get back into some sort of routine.  The holiday was awesome and my birthday was even better.  It's been really nice being home with Ray while he is also on vacation.

We bought paint for the baby room yesterday and I think Ray is going to start painting while I am at work tomorrow.  I created my invite list for the shower and I am sure it is going to need to be revised.  I don't think having over 100 people at a baby shower is acceptable.

The semester starts in 10 days and I am anxious to see what it is going to look like.  Apparently finals are 10 days after my due date, so hopefully I can take them early.  We shall see.

Ray and I are having dinner tonight with my dad and Cheryl - I'm so happy my family loves him.  I think they love him more than they love me.  I never thought with the way me and Ray's relationship started that they would love him the way that they do.  Oddly enough, he is their favorite - ever.

Loans come in one week from today.  I can not wait.

Ugh.

I am not going to attempt to mend something that, I don't really even care is broken.

I just won't.

Today I turn thirty.

I turn thirty today.  And it really doesn't feel that bad.  I, in no way, feel that old (from the perspective of my 15 year old self) and I really feel like I am in a good place for this number.

I am in school and have (roughly and depending on summer school/credit hours taken in the future) about two years until I graduate.  I am pregnant and living happily with my boyfriend and father of my child with our lovely animals in this really rad house we've built into a home together.  Our families are the closest they've ever been and we are all in good health.

Not a bad way to start off my thirties.

I fucking love my friends.

If I were in a band, it would be THIS kinda band....

LOVE Ladytron.

I cut and colored my hair all by myself for the first time ever.  The hair is choppy in that "Japanese high fashion model" sort of way - so I may need some blending - but here's an idea of what it looks like.

Not so bad for my first time being my own hair designer.
