Too cute...

And a little bit of funny!

Awww....

Ok, so this is a little post that Jonathan wrote on his blog. Just wanted to share with all of you the words of a guy that takes my breath away. I must say that I agree with him on everything. It is what it is ... and it's good. So, here's to Jonathan - He's truly a "Prince Charming."

The Casey Chronicles: It Is What It Is...So Stop Asking Questions, Stupid!

I met him for dinner for the first time one month and eight days ago - and in approximately 9 days we'll be able to say it's been official for one month. I realize that it's sorta silly to celebrate a month of togetherness; it's so cliche, and seems like such a minute amount of time to deem worthy of recognition, right? But you know... It's sorta ginormous to me, to have this opportunity - to start over with someone, expressing emotions and feelings I'd been terrified to share with anyone for almost an entire year, taking a chance on feeling vulnerable yet safe in someone else's arms, and...well...trusting someone again. I'd honestly thought I was done; damaged beyond repair... So, yeah: Let's bake a cake and drink a bottle of wine or two!

None of these endeavors (and many more) would have been possible had Casey not come into my life. He makes me feel outstanding about myself - and he doesn't mind the anxiety that often pervades my being. He doesn't freak out when I do about how much grief I had endured in the past; he actually listens to me - with open arms and an open heart. I truly consider him to be a blessing. There is so much good going on between us, it's difficult to believe he and I weren't guided to each other by God. I needed him...and I think/hope he needed me, too.
In the beginning, I used to just stare into his eyes and ask him, "What the hell do you see in me?" Of course, my ridiculous inquisition was usually stifled by a kiss or any other simple gesture which would imply that, sometimes, there simply are no words to explain a phenomenon. Still, I wondered about that... Until finally one day, I surrendered and accepted the fact that some things are just good like us - me and Casey - and no explanations are necessary...because there are none available. As I always say, "It is what it is"...and it is GOOD; that's all I need to know.

So, that's the official update on my - dare I say it? - "Love" Life. Although he and I both agree there is no reason to rush into anything, I do believe there will be many more months to celebrate our togetherness in the future.

Congrats, Miss Thang!

WHAT! I won a Golden Globe cause I fucking rock! I'm fierce! Eat that Simon! Eat that Jennifer Holiday! Now buy my CD when it comes out! WOO! Go me!

I'm just so BEE-ZEE!

Ugh. I have too much to do!

So, I have work at Starbucks, then most days, I leave there to go straight to Teurlings to coach the speech kids from 3-5, then rehearsal for the musical starts at 6, and that's til 8.

I'm constantly running form one place to the other. I'm missing some rehearsals for work. I have to learn lines, find a costume, and do speech tournaments on the weekends (which takes up one of my days off).

I also have work calling me to try to help cover some shifts because we are short on people, and I'm trying to find time to hang out with Jonathan.

I'm worn out!

If I had time for a vacation, I'd take one!

Just for laughs...

They do exist...

Alright, out with it already. I'm dating someone.

His name is Jonathan. We met about a month ago, and we made the whole dating thing official on New Year's Day.

He's great. We met. We had dinner. And there was that "something" there. There are times where you met someone, and you like them, but that feeling isn't there. Well, with him, it was.

We have a lot in common, to the point where sometimes it's just a little freaky. We are both coming out of some hard relationships - so we are both kinda weary of dating again, but getting through it together.

It's nice, having someone to care about, and having them care about me, too. We make each other smile.

Ok, enough cheese. Here's a pic of him...

Jonathan : A+

Rain...

Rain, feel it on my finger tips

Hear it on my window pane

Your love's coming down like

Rain, wash away my sorrow

Take away my pain

Your love's coming down like rain...

Ugh. It's raining. The weather here in Lafayette has been crazy. It rains like crazy for a few days, then it stops... then it rains like crazy again. UGH!

Hello 2007!

Hey boys and girls! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


I hope that all of you had a festive night. I was at home, and in bed by 11:30. I know - sucks huh? I dunno, I just wasn't in the celebrating spirit. I mean, I thought about going out - but then I thought of the people who would be there and junk, and decided against it.

But, I just want to wish all of you a great new year. It's funny to look back and see how much has happened in a year, and how much you've changed. And it's great to think that you have a brand new year ahead of you to do it all over again. And to think where you are going to be at the end of 2007? Hmmm...
