Okay, back to the subject at hand. . . Today was just one of those days. . .you know, one of those days when you have a choice to make. You can choose to either cry because yet another thing happened you didn't want or didn't expect OR you can pull up your big girl panties and giggle while thinking one word, "Seriously?" But I won't bore you with details of all that Life -n- Stuff. . . . At least, not today. :)
I started a blog last year when I moved back to the area of my youth. I had only written 2 posts when it became unexpectedly impossible to access again. . .Well, I can view it, I just can't add to it. . . Kind of obnoxious. So, I had to start all over. I took my own sweet time doing it, but at least I'm doing it now. :)
This is going to begin as kind of a journal or venting place for me. . . and I am sweet enough to let you read my ramblings. . .they will be many.
So, I will begin with a bit of a history of me. . . You can stop now if you like. . .But here goes.
My name is Emily. I have been full of dreams ever since I was a little girl. . . many of those dreams have never changed. . . The few that I will mention are those dreams/goals that are still a part of me. I want to be a singer, actress, writer, artist, designer (Not sure what I want to design, but I'd be GREAT at it) :) and so many more things. I am a single mom of 5 kids. . . keeps me very busy! My children have gone to spend the weekend with their dad and his new wife which has left me in this little apartment all by my lonesome. . .I am dating the most wonderful man . . . but at the moment, he is busy at work. . . in China. I am a word game freak and if you are my friend on Facebook, you could challenge me to any word game and I'd be a giddy giggly gal. :) So, with this time to myself, I thought that I'd do something that I love to do. . . I am typing. . . Makes me happy. :)
I have great hopes for my future and the future of my children. I am striving to find ways to support my family financially. . . on my own. It's a tough road so far. I have so many things that I feel I am good at and so many things that I love. I know I have to find a way to accomplish my goals on my own as it's unlikely that a box containing all the elusive answers and hints to success will magically appear in front of me. Though, wouldn't that be nice? Yes, yes it would.
I do voice work for the local radio station and I am hoping that one day I might actually get paid for it. No. . . One day, I WILL get paid for it. I have all kinds of ideas and I am working on getting over my fear of failure or my ignorance about where to begin. . . I suppose that is a kind of fear as well. . . and I have had enough of it. I am not getting any younger. . . but I AM getting happier. . .and that's how I like it.
I spent the evening out to dinner with my mom and a few other family members. Lovely Chinese food from the buffet. No, it really was good. But one of these days I need to branch out and try something other than the very familiar, tried and true dishes to which I always gravitate when going out to eat. I did eat an onion unexpectedly and I actually enjoyed it. That's quite the feat for me. I am maturing more and more with each onion that gets in my system. (My mom always told me that I would know I had matured when I learned to eat onions) :) My mom was there tonight and so I proudly announced to her that I had now finally reached maturity. :)
I suppose that on that note of my newly discovered maturity, I will show that natural responsibility of an adult and get ready for bed as it is nearing midnight. Oh naughty naughty, Emily! . . . A few word games first though.. . and THEN I will go to bed. Until next time. . . Pleasant dreams! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
