Grape Juice and Good Friends

Tonight I had a girls night out with my friend Gabe. We went to dinner (Mexican food and Margaritas of course), came back to her apartment exchanged gifts and watched the movie Julie & Julia while drinking sparkling grape juice out of the new pink stemmed wine glasses I got her for her Christmas gift.

Yes, I said sparkling grape juice... unfortunately Elizabethtown is a dry county AND it is a Sunday so we had to settle for juice. The juice was a flop. It tasted like bubbly white grape juice with a bit of buttered popcorn... TERRIBLE. But the chocolate, movie and dinner were great so the buttered grape juice was just sent to the trash. At least it provided a great laugh.

Good times and great friends I would not trade them for the world! :-) Goodnight!

Hello World

Today I am exhausted. I sometimes wonder why I do the things I do. I try my hardest to be the person I want to be but it is so hard when the respect is lacking. I do anything to have respect for myself but it is hard when I can't trust others to do the same. I wonder why I put myself out there to always get shot down or disappointed. I try my hardest to keep a smile on and just move on but that is exhausting in itself. I can only do that for so long until I just get tired of it. I am so tired of expecting the worst out of relationships and it actually coming true. I need to take time on my own, I need to breathe and think on my own, do something for myself for once and gain my strength back. I love my life and have learned it is not about waiting for the storm to pass but about dancing in the rain. :-)
