Well well another week as almost flown by and I have yet to post. Well I am changing that now, huh? Ha! sorry I promise eventually I will get into the swing of things and post more frequently! 

So for all the little things in your life that you find annoying or that just irritate you, there are dozens of things that make you smile, those things are the simple joys in life! So when a blog you follow doesnt update as often as you’d liked, you can still go back through looking at old posts to make you smile =P

No but seriously, I think i would be in a constant miserable state from law school stress if it wasn’t for the little things that make me smile and laugh. 

• A warm cup of tea (ohh espeically the kind that blooms in your cup! prettyyyy)
• Waving at a little kid (or saying bye, cause they probably just learned how and think its the coolest thing in life and cant stop doing it)
• Someone holding the door open for you (why there are some gentlemen left)
• A phone call or text from a friend you haven’t talk to in a while, saying he/she was thinking of you (aww you still remember me! what!?)
• An inside joke that makes you laugh everyyyy time (you know the one)
• Fun accents (and maybe mocking them later, not in a mean way..THIS IS A HAPPY LIST PEOPLE!)
• Old people (what? they are adorable and so sweet, especially when you see a couple that has spent their whole lives together awwwwww)
• A friend’s uplifting fun blog! (you definitely have to check this out!!!)

You can find thousands of these lists on the internet, but take a minute to realize what makes you smile today and then come share it! =)

Hugs and Cupcakes,

So here it is a new week and I still haven’t done my assignment from last week.  I think I want to remain oblivious to the changes I am about to experience and that’s why I have avoided this post.  I know, I know…I picked the topic.  Stop pointing out my hypocrisy!  Anyway.  Better late than never, and without further pauses, here are my musings on change.

Change and I have been well-acquainted since I was very young.  I was a “Navy brat” when I was too young to really be aware of the constant moving that was going on.  As I got older, we still did a fair amount of relocation.  In 7th grade I had the distinction of attending 3 separate middle schools.  It wasn’t all bad though.  When you are the “new kid” so often you learn how to read people and get along with lots of different personalities.  Well, at least I did.  

The changes I am currently facing differ from most that I have experienced in that they are self-inflicted.  Much like Ruby, I am trying to be healthier.  That means that no matter how much I may love gluten-free cupcakes I will not keep them in my freezer!  I will not kid myself into thinking that because I pack a healthy lunch I can stuff my face with comfort food when I get home from work.  Most importantly, it means that I will be adding exercise into my daily routine.  This is good change though and I am honestly looking forward to it.  

So what am I so afraid of?  What made me put this post off until past the last minute?  I am about to change the whole course of my future.  What?  Surely I am being melodramatic.  Well, I don’t see it that way.  I am at the intersection of family and career and either way I go is going to mean major adjustments for me.  Over the summer I contracted a severe case of baby fever.  So, while everything points at me making said baby, I still cling to my past career dreams.  The problem with those dreams is that they are taking me far too long to accomplish.  I still haven’t gotten my undergraduate degree, studied abroad or visited the UK.  So if I continue to pursue these old dreams at the detriment of my new dream for a family will it be the right choice?  All of these thoughts have forced me to reassess my current college.  If it’s taking me so long, maybe I need to mix things up and change schools.  This is the only school I ever saw myself going to, but maybe my past self was being short-sighted.  These are the things that I don’t like thinking about…it becomes a cycle of self-doubt.  What if I leave here and nobody else wants me?  What if I finish my degree and can’t move to the next level and do the graduate work I want?

Maybe fear would have been a better topic, because that’s the current emotion I feel when thinking about these changes.  Sorry this is such a long, rambly, and depressing post.  I think this week’s theme should be happiness to make up for it!
