FRIDAY! Oh how I have missed thee! It was quite a challenging week this week, but I made it through. Mostly due in part to reading and playing Nancy Drew games. I completely admit playing Nancy Drew while at work in my downtime instead of actually doing my daily duties. However, it worked out because I was able to catch up and even get ahead towards the end of today so I felt really accomplished and then suddenly extremely hyper. It was also a very pleasant surprise when the power went out about 30 minutes before closing time so I got to leave 20 minutes early!

I had planned to blog more often this week but clearly that didn’t work out so well. It’s a slow process but I’m getting there! I’ve been trying to work on blissmb.net quite a bit lately. Definitely looking for some more people to help out now. I had quite a few people step down from staff positions and then I had to finally bite the bullet and take down people who clearly don’t share the passion/motivation for it anymore. Which honestly really breaks my heart and I had a really rough time sending that u2u and doing that. It feels like a farewell on a big chunk of my life.

Anyway moving on because life is far too short to be down! I’m trying to embrace positivity and move forward! I feel like I’ve really taken huge steps this year towards bettering myself. I’ve let go of things in my life that had me shackled, I’ve been actively working towards being more confident and social and I’m honestly starting to feel like I’m coming into my own finally. It’s also nice being able to get more acquainted with other people who I didn’t have or didn’t give a chance otherwise. Very refreshing, indeed!

Speaking of refreshing.. in light of seeing Inception and even long before I’ve been so fascinated by dreams. I even started writing something centered around dreams (which I now feel I can never pursue because it could never amount to anything now that Inception has completely explored that avenue). Still reeling from seeing Inception my dreams have been going crazy lately. I’ve been having (and remembering bits and pieces) anywhere from 3-5 dreams every night. Last night was no exception. I remember one dream in particular where I was hanging out with some kids (grown up in the dream) that were in my 4th Grade class and watching in wonder as a man repaired 7-Eleven’s sign and another which I can’t remember anything other than WHO was in it. As a result I have become eerily obsessed with Joseph Gordon-Levitt (he was the one in the dream in case you aren’t following). I’ve always found him to be absolutely adorable but now thanks to this dream he hasn’t wandered far from my thoughts today. As such, I spent a portion of today cyberstalking. Found his twitter and stumbled upon his incredibly fascinating hitRECord.org production company. Such an awesome concept and now it’s making me want to hit RECord and create and collaborate! Definitely check it out if you’re a creative type like me!

Also another random thing I’m excited about lately. Is my new amazing sheets! Got them from Wal-Mart and they’re so soft and cool to the touch and mmmmm! I’ve slept so good since I got them! Plus they’re really cute and colorful! What can I say? I love colorful stuff because it makes me feel all cheerful and happy.

Finally, I’m going to spend a bit of time this weekend working on sending out the August Newsletter for Bliss MB as well as kicking off another Friendship Week! An event we had last year that was pretty successful and something that encouraged members to get to know other members as well as be willing to get out there online and offline and make new friends or catch up with old ones! I’m excited about bringing it back and hopefully it will revive the board a little in these last few weeks of Summer! Definitely stop by if you want to participate!

Current Mood:  satisfied

It’s true. Some call it procrastinating, I guess. I’m not really a procrastinator but I guess I feel like with certain things if I continue to ignore it or let it run it’s course, maybe it will work itself out and I won’t have to take action.

In most cases, this is completely false. Either things never change or they completely spin out of control. In light of that, I think I’ve finally come to a place in my life where I no longer accept either of those circumstances. I’m taking charge and making changes and keeping things IN CONTROL from now on. I set out this year to live my life in a way that is best for me. In some cases most cases this has involved challenging myself to step out of my comfort zone. I think, despite the many lows of 2010, this year is shaping up to be an integral year in my life. Lots of growth on my end, but there is still lots of room for more growth!

So enough of my self-reflection. Time for some fun blog topics! First off.. Best Movie of 2010. Yes, I realize 2010 isn’t quite over yet but I don’t see another movie winning this title. I’ve seen Inception twice already. Absolutely BRILLIANT movie. I haven’t seen a movie that creative, original, mind-blowing since The Matrix, which incidentally almost even has the same sorta theme. It’s nice to watch a movie that completely challenges you to think and discuss and just completely engages your mind. So amazing. If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and see it in the theaters. You won’t regret it. Just make sure you pay attention! It’s one of those movies that might completely confuse you if you aren’t paying attention.

And secondly, new blog layout by the super talented Tawni over at Forever Design Studio! She’s also going to help me with a little surprise for my Dad which I’m really excited about! I gotta get cranking on all the details though so I can get it done as soon as possible! Anyway I still need to set up the pages and add a bit more stuff in the columns but let me know what you think! I promise I will definitely be posting on a more regular basis now as well as finding some more blogs to connect with!

Today I leave you with a question. What are some things in your life that you put on the back burner that could probably use your attention?
