Fall is a total tease 'round these parts
pleaseexcusethemess:
sure, it might be September and all you east coasters have your fun “transitional” wardrobes pulled out of storage and ready to wear but some of us are still in 100+ temps. So take it easy on your pumpkin this and your scarf that ‘cause some of us just can’t take it right now.
yes!

I’m not incredibly good at moving on, or standing up for myself or being slightly selfish or a lot of things I should be able to do. I will let you get away with almost anything I won’t leave when I should I’ll wait to see if things will turn around I’ll see it through until the bitter end. I’m…

Our story...
We were invited to meet through mutual friends. A blind double date, where we spent much of the night sitting next to one another yet, talking to our friends across the table.
Slowly our arms found one another. A slight touch from him and I was reeled in. Unaware, our fingers soon intertwined and I could feel his warmth. The warmth that told me in the moment everything I needed to know.

Tomorrow is a big day...
It is the day I have been waiting to come for months. Since I have been a temporary employee for almost 8 months a position has been created, approved, and opened within our department. Tomorrow I interview. I have my outfit, glasses, and portfolio. My confidence is high yet, I am nervous.
Tomorrow is first day of a new beginning.

Dating can be so hard...
Did I say the right thing?
Did I do the right thing? the wrong thing?
Is he thinking about me?
Did I say too much? not enough?

My English Professor e-mailed me to tell me…

First date...
Last night I had a first date with a guy I was introduced to last week and he showed up with a bouquet of flowers! It is the little things that make me smile…thoughtfulness and kindness.
It is refreshing to know that there are still good hearted men out there…especially in Vegas!

Unpopular opinion...
When I first heard about Osama’s death, I was thrilled. Our military has been fighting a long, lonely, hard fight and it felt good that their efforts were finally being rewarded.
Then, as the hype started to calm down, many people started to either voice their disdain or start to feel guilty for rejoicing in a horrible man’s death. As I began to read tweet and posts, I almost started...
