Only Scooby-Doo:(

Like many young kids I loved watching scooby-doo as a child, but lately it is getting out of hand! My dvd player seems to have a mind of it's own. The only dvd that seems to be capable of playing in my dvd player is Scooby-Doo and the Witches Ghost. Don't get me wrong out of all the scooby-doo movies that one is my absolute favorite, however, a person can only watch so much scooby. I have cleaned the dvd player multiple times with the lazer lens cleaner and still nothing else seems to play. I just don't underdtand. Seems to me that it is just time to retire my current dvd player and buy a new one.

In need of a boat!

I am seriously going to need to sell my car and buy a boat if it continues to rain. It has literally rained very day/ night this week. Why can’t Mother Nature take a break? The roads have been so flooded, it is absolutely ridiculous. I was walking into work yesterday and the parking lot was so flooded that I had water completely cover my feet once I stepped out of my car. I guess on the bright side of things I am finally able to get some use out of my rain boots I purchased a while back. I suppose the rain is not all bad, well minus the flooding. I actually went puddle hopping with a pal the other night in our front yard; it was a good time, although the puddles probably could have been considered mini pounds. Never the less I just wish it would stop raining. Sad news is that there is more on the way:(

Moving Out!

So excited that it is even hard for me to type right now!:) I got an apartment! I will officially be on my own, hard to believe since it seemed that it was never going to happen. This is going to be quite the experience for me. I now have the pleasure of living with two of my dearest friends.  I cannot wait to finally get all of our belongings moved and settled in. The weather lately has prohibited us from moving anything of a decent size, although I felt pretty accomplished when I was able to load a dresser, my head board, and the mirror off of my standing dresser all in my vehicle the other day.  I think that I am going to find having roommates to be rather interesting seeing as to how I never really had to share anything, but my roommates claim that we will change that.  I am excited and a little nervous to see where this will lead me. This is guaranteed to be a learning experience that I will not forget.

Happy B-Day to ME!

Finally! April 23 is just around the corner, this Saturday to be exact. I will officially be nineteen and no longer the only one of my closest friends that still has to say that I am eighteen, however will forever be the youngest there is no escaping that. Seems strange to say, but I have yet to decide how it is that I plan to spend this glorious day. Don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled about my birthday and the turning of another age, however, the party aspect of it just doesn’t seem to bring as much joy as in the past. Maybe this is because I am burnt out on having big, extravagant parties. When I was younger birthdays were a big deal. There was always a big celebration with friends, family, tons of food, cake, and of course the presents! Now I just want to have the day and spend it my way.   

Work Free!

I am totally loving this week, well minus the weather. I looked at my work schedule and found that I am only scheduled to work two days this week, which is rather unusual for me. Plus it just so happens to be my weekend off. This is going to feel like a vacation to me. I am not going to know what to do with myself. One of my nurses always jokes that I should just take up residency in one of the unoccupied rooms seeing as to how I practically live at the nursing home anyways. Sadly she is right. It is rare that I ever have a day off, because of the fact that they always seem to have people call in, resulting in me having to come to work anyways. I feel bad knowing that for one my co- workers will be working short and for two that the residents are obviously in the nursing home for a reason and should not be the ones to suffer for those who just didn’t want to show up to work that day. Not to mention I have a problem saying “no”. I try hard to put others before myself and if that means living in a nursing home, then I guess that’s what I have to do for my residents. (Just not this week;P)  

Tattoo?

What is the obsession with being inked? I personally just do not understand the thrill of a little needle repeatedly stabbing you over and over again. Not to mention the fact that tattoos are permanent! I change my mind too often to even consider the idea of something permanent being place on my body. I joke around and say that if I were ever to get a tattoo it would be on the inside of my lip (never gonna happen!) If you think about it getting a tattoo on your inner lip would be the absolute ideal spot for one. You could say that you went through with getting a tattoo and it would not be visible unless you felt the need to show it to others or just show it off in general. Plus it wouldn’t prevent you from receiving any future jobs, although neither would a black light tattoo. A friend of mine has a total of six tattoos. She claims that they are addicting, I guess I just do not understand.       

Stress

Sooo overwhelmed! I would like to go back to the time when others made the decisions for you. Life was much easier back then, but no now it’s time for Candace to make her own decisions which wouldn't be such a horrible thing if I knew what it was that I wanted. Why can't someone just give me all the answers, that’s all that I want. Is that too much to ask for? I suppose so. Advice is helpful, but in the end it is me who has to make the ultimate decision. HUH frustration!

Funny thing, I started writing this blog a week ago in one of my classes and was unable to finish it so had to save it as a draft. Now that I have finally had the time to come back and sum it up I cannot even tell you where my thought process was going. That just goes to show how quickly things change.

Sleep Deprived

 I am beyond TIRED!!! Between school, work, and volunteering any of my free time for the use of others, I have lacked to make time for the opportunity to sleep. You would think that because sleep is an essential that I would remember these things, but I guess not. An average day for me begins with school (of course A.M. classes). After school it’s off to work for me, starting at three and ending at eleven. When I get home it’s time to shower and then hit the books so to say, seeing as to how that is the only time I have to do any school work that I may have received at school that day. After all of this finally it is time for rest… Until I get up and do it all over againL I think it is time for a much needed vacation!

Weather:(

I am so not happy. The weather within the past week was so beautiful. Upper sixties and lower seventies in February, what more could you ask for! Sucks for me that I was at work all of that week and was unable to enjoy the wonderful warm sunshine that I have missed ever so much :( I even went shopping recently and bought two pairs of shorts and some super cute tanks, if I do say so myself. Unfortunate that I will not be able to wear them any time soon. The weather has taken a turn for the worse. It's cold and windy one day and rainy the next. Can't we get a break! I am not one for cold; I absolutely cannot stand being cold. I am beyond ready for spring and the warm weather to get here.  I thought that if the ground hog saw its shadow that it meant spring was just around the corner. Wish that it would hurry up and get here! At least when it comes i will be prepared, you know with the shorts i am unable to wear just yet.

Cann!!!

When in season I use to coach the Sparta High School colorguard. I enjoyed doing so! The girls were so much fun and it was nice to know that I taught them lots, and not just about guard, but anything and everything that the girls felt the need to come to me about. It’s safe to say that we all became rather close. Every day it never failed I would hear the phrase “Cann we need to talk…!” Now that the season is over things have not changed. I get the random text messages the phone calls saying the same ole phase. The recent reason the girls have contacted me is because they feel the need to have a guard party, which would be so much fun and would give us time to caught up, however, they seem to forget that Cann has to work. (And work often) I would love to give them their guard party, but sadly I truly just do not have to time to do so. Another thing that makes this much more complicated is that the girls have absolutely no idea what they would like to do for their party. They want for me to decide (of course) that is just like them.  I love those girls!    

Understanding

Life is hard; as I’m sure many of you may already know. Sometimes life throws us unexpected curve balls that we are forced to just accept, deal with, and move on our marry way. I have recently learned that it is important to care about other people, however, in the end you must do what is healthy and best for you in any given situation. I believe in living each day to its fullest potential. This means putting the past behind us and stepping out into our future.  Having good friends to help to you along the way does not hurt either.  Remember that everyone has friends, but the good ones are the ones that are only a phone call away and are there no matter what. Although it may not be easy at times, in the end you can overcome anything! Random I know, but these are my thoughts of the day and it just seemed appropriate to share them. Sharing is caring;)
