Opening up is hard sometimes

I've thrown up some pretty heavy posts lately.  I guess it's safe to say I've been a bit contemplative lately.  There's a lot going through my head and I just couldn't keep it in anymore.  Especially yesterday's post.  Let me tell you, I went back and forth over whether or not to publish it.  I edited it and touched it up probably five times after saving it and closing it.  Being vulnerable like that is hard for me.  And someday I'll learn that the internet is not always a friendly place to be vulnerable. But this is my space, and I'll do what I want. I won't apologize for how I feel or for sharing how I feel.

Besides, I think Ian enjoys it when I share what's on my mind.

The battle rounds on "The Voice" are possibly my favorite part of the show.

Even though I love the blind auditions to death, the battles are just a bit more intense.

Speaking of "The Voice," how intimidating would it be to sing in front of all those pros?

Not just the coaches (Blake, Adam, Gwen, and Pharrell), but now the helpers too.

For me, that'd be like showing my writing to one of my favorite authors.

Yikes.  I don't know if I could do it.

+++++

Twice already this week, I've had someone on the phone tell me how nice I am.
 I do pride myself on being a nice girl and always being polite.
So I appreciated that someone noticed!

+++++

I've pretty much been reading nothing but romance novels lately.

Sure, yesterday I wrote about accepting that I will probably never get married.

That doesn't mean I don't believe in love.  I've seen it happen to others, so I know it's real.

 

+++++

My schedule at my part-time job is changing a bit.

I'll start having Thursday nights free, which is super exciting for me.

Why?  That's when most of my TV shows are on -- "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal," and "Parenthood."

Priorities, people.

+++++

I am super nervous about my half-marathon on Sunday.

How early do I need to get up? What should I eat the day before? The day of?

Will I see a lot of people I know?  Will I look dumb?  Will I trip on something on the course?

Sigh.  My mind is racing with all these questions ... and more.

+++++

I see so many people posting about watching scary movies.

I'm just like, "nope."

"Hocus Pocus" is the only Halloween movie I'll watch.

+++++

Although I also enjoy "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."

Apparently it's on TV tonight.  And, of course, I'm working.
Sigh.

That's all I have for this week.
