-Finny goes back to school this weekend and I'm already getting that anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's been great having him here the last four months and I'm going to miss him so much.
-Discovered the best lip colored lip balm. Normally I'm girl who prefers a natural neutral lip. Occasionally I'll wear a red lipstick/lip stain, or a nice pink; but most it's just chap stick (carmex, etc). Burt's Bees just came out with a new tinted lip balm, bought it in pink blossom, and it's perfect. Especially for my skin tone and dark eyes.
-I'm working on a '22 before 23' list. Pretty self-explanatory. A few things I have jotted down so far: learn needle point, learn how to make exceptional curry, get one of my 'big three' tattoos done, and get my own freakin' car.
-Weather is starting to cool off, which is awesome. I'm already lining up my cardigans and making outfits in my head, I'm so excited for cooler weather (IE: below the consistent 85+ degrees it's been).
-Weird dreams. A really bad one a few days ago, it's been a long time since I've had a PTSD nightmare (I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was about 14, almost 15). And one very eye-opening one last night.
-My sister is being a bitch, plain and simple. She's always been the type of person who believes in their own self-righteousness; always right without reproach and if you disagree with her, you're stupid. She asked me a question about my relationship with our dad and I gave her my answer, she went on a condescending rampage. Which, you know, she thought was going to be tons helpful. It wasn't.
-I'm reconsidering dying my hair. As much grief as it gives me, I really do love the color and it suits me. I'm not really sure.. I want change, and I do want something drastic or exciting, as opposed to the ever-mousy brown I sport. But we'll see.
-My dad is being his usual charming self.
-I still think most everyone sucks.
-Life is good for the most part, though.
-I'm dreading October for obvious reasons, but I'm looking forward to Halloween and parties and theme parks and haunted things.
-Singing more lately. I was out the other day, singing to myself at our local Target and some woman comes up to me and says, "I hope this isn't weird, but I was wondering when or if you have a CD coming out? Your voice is incredible!" I was embarrassed, but really flattered. It wasn't the first time I've had people ask that, but it's been a while since I've been so caught up in what I was doing that I started singing without realizing it.
-Crazy Disney kick lately.
-Thinking of doing a half-marathon.
-Going to be writing a post on body acceptance/self respect/etc soon. Super awesome, man.
