"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full"

weekend~
Despite my desire to spend the entire weekend in pajamas, I managed to have a few adventures, and really enjoyed myself the past couple of days.
My work-week was hectic as usual, but I found the time to go shopping and pick up a few more spring items that can be worn in court under a blazer... and once I slip off the blazer, I could wear them out if I were to go to happy hour after work...
After work on Friday, I met up with one of my girlfriends downtown. We walked around window shopping & enjoyed happy hour at Guadalajara. They had yummy food and great drinks, definitely will be one of my new happy hour spots....
Saturday, I slept in.... got my hair done & met up with my boyfriend. After a long nap, I woke up hungry and decided I wanted to try out a new restaurant... in Galveston. The weather over the weekend was AMAZING, but I had not anticipated everybody and their mother wanting to escape the city for a random mid-day beach trip... Needless to say traffic was ridiculous. I hate traffic. I also hate when my plans don't unfold as planned. So instead, we drive probably twenty miles towards the beach & try out a restaurant that is near where we were headed... Instead of letting the detour ruin my day, I took my boyfriend's advice and calmed down. The place we ended up eating at had AWESOME food and cheap drinks. We ended up having a great time, and I forgot about the traffic mishap. My Saturday definitely ended up being a good day.
Today my pastor gave a powerful sermon. I made my friend take pictures on my camera (I was too embarrassed, although everyone else was taking pictures).
After church, I went to see the Hunger Games movie, which I really enjoyed. I read all three novels, and loved them. Since I read the books, I did pick up on the differences between the movie and the book, but they put out a really great adaptation.
The rest of my Sunday has been one long, long nap, whereas I woke up to catch glimpses of Once Upon A Time, respond to text messages and catch the end of Celebrity Apprentice.
I have a hearing in the morning so it would behoove me to get to bed early..... Blessed to see another day.

three-day weekends.....
After week, after week of this......
and this....
I decided to take a much needed day off from work. I spent my Friday, Saturday & now Sunday relaxing, and basically just catching up on life. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my career but sometimes it gets overwhelming and I just need to take time off for me.
On Friday I got a much needed pedicure and went shopping for Spring attire....light weight suits and dresses that I can throw a blazer over when I have court, and cute blouses that are work appropriate....
Later on that night, I went to an event at a wine bar called Cork Soakers where I sipped on moscato, sangria and "green" white wine (yes, all three)...danced..enjoyed good conversation & great company....
On Saturday, (which was St. Patrick's Day, the two year anniversary of my boyfriend and I meeting...as well as one of my good friends birthday) we woke up fairly late, cooked lunch, and headed out for what ended up being a very busy day.
To celebrate our anniversary, we went for a couples massage...
They greeted us with mimosas, chocolate and fruit before our massages actually began..
We both received our massages in the same room, which was dark but had candlelight illuminating the space inside....
I'm a huge fan of massage therapy, and these were customized for our needs... they included aroma therapy, hot stones and plenty of attention to our problem areas...
It was very romantic & relaxing....
After the massages, we ran some errands...slipped in a power nap & headed to Cyclone Anaya's, which is an upscale Mexican food restaurant, for the birthday festivities... The food was great, and so were the laughs... I was too tired to go out for the after dinner festivities and was probably asleep within the next hour...
My Sunday has been filled with naps, movie watching and more leisure napping. I foresee this being an extremely early night for me. The work week is looming and I need to get my mind right for these next five days.... This year is going by so fast. Spring is literally days away, and summer will be here before we know it.
I'm looking forward to a new season, and hopefully more fun events in my near future!

round and round......
With nothing in the world to complain about, I feel like I have been plagued by perpetual internal- complaints all day. Nothing major, mainly me being my biggest critic and finding wrong just for the right of it. I'm sure everyone has moments where they open up the flood gates and let the wrong things pour in, but fortunately for me I have gotten much better at carefully filtering certain things and preventing myself from literally drowning in it.... Sometimes I feel like I'm bipolar from the looks of some of the things I write....one day I'm on cloud 9, the next I'm feeling moody.... Blame it on the zodiac I guess, being a Scorpio is hard work. I digress.
"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him..."

March
...is one of my favorite months for quite a few reasons. Aside from the rodeo, which I have continuously been discussing...spring & day party season is almost here, I can finally break out my flip flops and on St. Patrick's Day I celebrate the 2nd anniversary of my boyfriend and I meeting (or re-meeting) each other. A lot of my friends also celebrate their birthdays this month, so I also look forward to doing a lot of celebrating with them.
Things have been pretty calm around these parts. Aside from dinner with close friends last night at my favorite spot, and church this morning, I've spent the majority of my weekend lounging around & reading. I've also obtained yet another iPhone app obsession, instagram... Since I decided to take a Facebook hiatus, I've been getting my social media fix in other less heavily opinionated forums. I think I enjoy my social media when it's more focused on me and not the lives of other people.... Between pinterest and instagram, my Facebook days seem to be coming to an end....

behind those eyes..
Behind those eyes,
no paradise.
A tortured soul, trying
endlessly,
horridly,
painstakingly,
hard.
Love me,
obsess with me,
want me.
Looking longingly,
past you,
through you.
Wishing upon the future.

scenes.....
from the rodeo.... Last night, John Legend performed. I gorged myself on funnel cake, gigantic smoked turkey legs, and shrimp on a stick. Walked around the carnival, people watched and was yawning by 9:30. I really love the rodeo.
