First of all, Washington was SO amazing! It is absolutely beautiful! I had so much fun doing fun little things like going to the lavender farm and spending time with my friends. Their two girls are so much fun. I am really going to try to post some pics soon. I have about 200 to choose from ;-)

I must admit this week, however, hasn't been all that great. Some of it has but I've had moments of feeling lonely, frustrated that I can't seem to get things like unpacking done, and just . . . not myself.
I may have taken it before but I took the Facebook version of the Meyer's Briggs personality test awhile back and me and my roommate were talking about it yesterday. We're both INFP which represents only like 1% of the population. Something she read online describes INFPs as having the tendency to feel lonely and out of place and different. I almost always feel that way.
In the next few weeks many things in my life are going to change. I'll work part-time at the conference office in the resource center library and hopefully get a full-time job at a nursing home. I put in applications at some last week. I will also be taking two classes at the university. I am definitely excited...excited that I'm FINALLY getting to go on with plans to do what I really want to do. Of course it'll still take awhile but I'm on my way! I do have a sense of calm and peace about it all too. I know things will work out the way they're supposed to.

But still there is a part of me that is frustrated with myself that I still haven't really unpacked and I moved a month ago. I'm frustrated that I think of all these things I want to do but feel like I can't do them. And then there's just that feeling of being lonely. I am not sure why I've felt that way lately. Sometimes I feel like the only thing I do when I'm home is watch TV. Which isn't totally true but today it feels like it. Oh well.

So I don't know. Hopefully this mood I'm in won't last. There is a lot to do and a lot to look forward to. Including the Olympics...ok now I'm glad I turned the TV back on. Gymnastics is on!!

Vacation

I'm headed to Washington (state) for vacation. I'm very excited. I get to see friends that I haven't seen in WAY too long. And their kids! I saw the first one when she was 3 months old. She's 3 now...and apparently there's a 2nd little one too ;-)

And Val if you read this before I get there, you better not be doing anything resembling getting ready to have a visitor. :-)

I can't wait to just . . . enjoy a new state, enjoy much cooler temperatures than what I am experiencing now, catching up, playing, and seeing mountains. . .ooo mountains. I miss mountains. I wonder if there's a place to get good seafood.

Ooo I'm getting more excited. I am working today but can't really concentrate on anything.
