One month old

I need a camera which takes decent photos. I would love to learn the art of photography more; I think I have a knack for it like my mother. After all, September is upon us and that means Fall is coming; this is my favorite time of year! I love bundling up in layers because of the crisp, chilly air. I am also looking forward to this Winter where *hopefully* I will FINALLY learn how to snowboard. I mean, I have all my gear so there should be no excuses other than financial obligations but who needs to eat, right? My beautiful board has been idle for too long... shamefully I have never taken her out. FAIL. I am trying to get better at commiting to things and snowboarding is one thing I know I can commit to just like running. Only a broken leg will keep me off of the mountain this Winter, not a broken vagina. For those of you who know, you are laughing, for those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, ask me.
Too much talk about the future. I am definitely enjoying life NOW! Today I picked up my "canvas" for my 24 hour art show. It wasn't a canvas and I am miffed that they called it such a thing- it's a wooden box! But after some persuasive techniques, I was able to get my friends Jack and Andrew to deliver my "uncle" Mike's canvas to him. Mike is Susan's husband and if you didn't read one of my earlier posts, Susan was my Sunbeam teacher at church. So Susan has been an intregal part of my life for the past 22 years.... Any who, Jack and Andrew came to my office to get the canvas when I was at lunch and sad because I missed out on seeing Jack's Stingray. Oh sexy car! Andrew sent me a picture because I was so skeptical that Jack actually owned a Corvette. I am a true believe after that picture with Jack pointing at me disapprovingly.

After work, I hopped on the U bandwagon and went with Nic to the opening football game. We dressed in red and painted each other's faces. I think I did the better job but I have two things going for me, 1) Being that I am a girl and talented in all things pretty and 2) I am an artist and talented in all things pretty. The game was awesome! Nic had student standing only tickets. After 20 minutes of fighting to watch the game between two Goliahs, I convinced Nic to sit in some seats below us where we watched the rest of the game! Victory! Not only for our seats but the U won.

I was thinking, life is great! I don't know what I am doing with my whole life, just bits and pieces. I am ok those bits. In fact, I am more than ok with being surprised a little, I expect it.

"No Matter What"
by Papa Roach

I need you right here, by my side
You're everything I'm not in my life.
We're indestructible, we are untouchable
Nothing can take us down tonight
You are so beautiful, it should be criminal
that you could be mine.

And we will make it out alive
I'll promise you this love will never die!

No matter what, I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to God that in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing

So believe me when I say, you're the one
They'll never forgive us for the things we've done

And we will make it out alive
I'll promise you this love will never die!

No matter what, I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to God that in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
We'll never fight, we'll never fade
I'll promise you forever and my soul today
No matter what until the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing

And everybody said that we would never last,
And if they saw us now I bet they'd take it back
It doesn't matter what we do or what we say
Cause nothing matters anyway!

No matter what, I got your back
I'll take a bullet for you if it comes to that
I swear to God that in the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing
We'll never fight (We'll never fight)
We'll never fade (We'll never fade)
No matter what until the bitter end
We're gonna be the last ones standing

Ps Sexy cars make me to crazy things
