Happy #7

For seven years now, I have been trying to crack the code that would open L's mental vault and show me what this sweet, lovely firecracker is all about.

For seven years, I have been unable to get inside L's mind. To me, she remains an enigma. I have, from time to time, been able to predict her behavior. On occasion, she and I will see eye to eye. Once in a while I can even convince her that she might see things my way.

For the most part, L is dancing to her own tune.

For seven years now, L has been growing, moving, pushing limits and living each moment like she owns it.

I love my L... though she doesn't really feel like mine; I think that I might belong to her.

Cool

iPhones are so cool. I downloaded this great app ("application" for those not familiar) that lets you recolor parts of a photo. This photo is of my dad years ago - it was a color photo originally, so the car was, in fact, red.

Ch-Ch-Changes

Life is always changing, but lately I have personally had a few big changes.

I started school. I'm going to a community college - starting at square one - and working towards getting into the nursing program. I'm only taking a couple classes per semester until little D is a big Kindergartner, so I'll be doing this for a long time...

I cut my hair. It had gotten pretty long, so this was a drastic change. However, I am no stranger to a short hairstyle so it hasn't been weird to me - just weird for my friends here in New Mexico that have only known me with long hair.

I had Lasik surgery. This, strangely enough, has been the hardest change for me. I'm really happy I did it and have no regrets - it's great! - but I didn't realize that I would miss my glasses. I've worn glasses basically since I was seven years old. When something has been a part of your face for that long, it feels a little... sad to be without it. I'm a total crackpot, I know! Give me a few more weeks and I will be 100% glad to be glasses free, instead of 80%.
