I got a lot of new clothes, and especially shoes for Christmas. So, I decided to wear some of my new items today, since it's so nice outside! However, the minute I step off of the elevator at 9:30 this morning, I kept getting stared at. Okay, I hate it when people do this. It makes me very self-conscience. I don't know why either. I did have a dress on, so I kept tugging at it, for fear that my booty is playing peek-a-boo with everyone. It isn't. It's covered. So, why are they staring? I don't know. But what I do know is I'm one of those people today who, at every reflective surface, checks herself out, just to make sure everything is covered and I my hair isn't in a mohawk or something.
On a more serious note: Haiti. Can you even believe it? It's horrible! My heart goes out to every single person over there. I'm at work today, and I'm on CNN.com, looking at all of the pictures. I feel sick to my stomach scrolling through. If you haven't seen them, check the website here! Your mouth won't close-mine didn't. Please keep them in your prayers. And the next time you complain about your day, remember these faces and scenes. Life could be so much worse.
I decide it's a good idea to watch a movie tonight. I don't feel like going out, so a movie night is necessary! I put in, P.S. I Love You. I love this movie! Probably the best romantic movie ever created--besides The Notebook. I always cry through the whole thing! Ladies, I know you do the same thing! He is absolutely perfect! My grandma sends me an e-mail today that says, "Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot; who calls you back when you hang up on him; who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat; or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead; who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats; who holds your hand in front of his friends; who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU. The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'" She's so sweet! I believe he's out there! Fireman? Hopefully I'll find out! ;)
Note to self: Only in certain situations can you sit back and "let life happen." When it comes to your career, you can't just sit back and wait for things to happen. They never will, if you do this. You have to go after exactly what you want and don't give up until you get it! Otherwise, in ten years, you're going to look back and think, what happened with my life? I just sat back and let things happen, and look where I am. Exactly where I told myself I never wanted to be. You have to be feisty and take charge--it's your own destiny at stake, here. While you sit back and "let life happen," someone else is taking your job! Let love happen, let health happen, and let social things happen. Don't just let your career happen. I guarantee you, you will regret it in five years if you don't go after what you want!
