Friday's Letters.

Dear Brain, Wake up! I don't know what I was thinking the other day...! I am consider myself a good driver. I don't speed, I'm normally not too aggressive, and occasionally curse while driving. I have been driving for 10 years now and have never been in an accident. Wednesday morning, it was like my brain went on auto-pilot or something; I don't know how else to describe it. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw green, and my brain said go. When I realized what I had done, I was horrified (I still am). I am truly lucky nothing terrible happened to anyone else, or myself. Ugh! Dear me, I have too much stuff! The amount of body sprays and creams I have, I honestly don't need to buy any for the next year or two. Same with clothing. Its crazy how much I have and don't actually wear. I already have 4 green garbage bags full of stuff. All of it is being donated; some of it I could probably take to a store to sell second-hand, but that just seems like too much effort. Dear young me, All those one-hit wonder boy bands, why would you spend your money on their cd's? Seriously? Sell them ASAP before the boyfriend realizes what a loser you were...!

Seven more sleeps.

Seven more sleeps until I move. 

I am excited but nervous at the same time. I cant wait to take this next step in my life! But I am nervous about no longer living at home. I will miss my family and my dog a lot. 

I am also really excited about having all my stuff in one location. I will have lots more time for exercising and blogging! I want to give my blog another face lift and start blogging daily. 

Good things lie ahead...!

I am horrified...!

I cannot stop shaking. 

I cannot believe what happened a short while ago outside of my house. Who could be so stupid to put their own life and the life of others at risk.

My parents are away for the evening. My boyfriend and I are at my parents home dog sitting. My step sister wasn't supposed to come home this evening, she was going to stay at a friends house. To my surprise, she came home to pick up something, then was out again. I asked if she would be home later, she said yes. When she came in, the dog was barking. At the time, I hadn't clued in that there was a vehicle outside the house. As she slammed the door and ran down the driveway, I stood in the window and watched as her friend got out of his SUV and she jumped into the drivers seat. 

She does not have her license. She has supposedly never driven before. 

I stood in the window horrified. In my socks, I walked outside yelling her name. She didn't respond so I walked out on the wet driveway until I got her attention. I told her to get out of the vehicle and explained the ramifications for driving without a license. 

Seriously?! How can she be so stupid. If she wants to put her own life at risk, go for it, but do not risk the lives of innocent people because you decide it will be "cool" to drive. I am pretty sure she thought I was ruining her fun and doesn't understand the severity of what she was about to do. 

I felt bad for sending a message to my parents and interrupting their evening, but they had to know. This is unacceptable. Perhaps I should have let her drive off, phone the police and let her deal with the ramifications. Maybe that would get the message across. Probably not.

I don't know what else to say. 

Busy.

So much to do, not enough time. 

I am currently working six days a week (two jobs) and trying to move my entire life from once place to another, yikes! 

As I previously mentioned, I am moving at the beginning of August into my boyfriends apartment. This is a HUGE step for me as I am moving out from my parents home. It's going to be really weird not to live there any more, and not to see the family dog every day. I will still go home and visit him several times a week, but I will miss having him wake me up early in the morning just because he wants to say hi. 

Since its only my bedroom we are moving, we don't want to pay $250 to book the elevator for the day. We don't need a day, we need 30 minutes. So, for the past week, I have been moving my stuff over in bits and pieces. I haven't decided if its easier to do it this way, or if I am putting more stress on myself. My reasoning for doing it in bits and pieces is that I can unpack and re-organize as I go along... and there is A LOT of re-organizing that needs to be done to fit everything into the apartment. I think we have too much stuff! Plus, some of us don't feel the need to get rid of the old, and that's fair, but it adds more stress on me to try and make everything fit in a small space.  

Anyways, I promise I'm not neglecting my blog because I'm bored of it, I am finding myself spending more time at home (no laptop) and less time at the apartment (laptop) as I try to organize, pack and throw out/donate all my stuff. Maybe just under 20 sleeps until the final move..! I can't wait.
