How does it feel to live on the edge of a fantasy?

Getting an early start to the morning, that phrase popped into my head. I can feel it getting close. For some reason, I awoke early and started cleaning my apartment. The radio playing softly in the background…Brewing up a pot of freshly ground coffee. Ah, how I love my coffee grinder. Mornings like these actually remind of living in Lexington. Yes, I hated both my house and the town but the mornings always made me smile.

But, I digress. Where was I? The edge of a fantasy, yes. The coffee, the joys of having my own apartment…even the cat running around was bringing a smile to my face. I guess, I got a glimpse of my future. Does that sound strange? I’m pleased with the way things are going in my life right now. I love the feeling of working towards a goal. It’s that internal drive that never fades. This is my last day of Spring Break, the semester is half over and classes are still going extremely well. I’ve also been hard at work trying to plan out just how I’m going to afford my new car and insurance to boot. It’s looking like this fall I should be able to do it!

Ah, being able to take road trips again…Yes, I know, you might be saying that’s why I don’t have a car. But hey, I was rear-ended both times..As long as I stick to the country roads and away from red lights I’ll be fine ;)

I’ve got to get busy finishing up some homework, but, I think I’m going to take a moment and enjoy another cup of coffee before I start.

EDIT: Hah, So I just checked my e-mail and look what my part of my horoscope says:

“The equilibrium we establish in our lives by both dreaming and doing helps us make certain that we never neglect our ambitious aspirations to pursue practical matters or get so lost in our musings that we fail to accomplish our goals. To be truly successful, we must seek balance in our personal journeys by courting both the rewards of diligent labor and the pleasure of motivated reflection. ”

Blending dreams and reality…

and for me Spring Break begins today…which feels kind of odd considering we’re supposed to have four-five inches of snow in the next few days.

Haven’t posted in a little while. Things are pretty much the same. Class is still going really well. Making good grades and all that jazz. Just got hired at AT&T Wireless as a salesman…I have to go through about three weekends of training in Louisville before I hit the floor but I’m pretty stoked about it.

Still got the cat, she’s finally quieted down and gotten used to my place. Definitely need to get her some more toys though…she thinks everything I have lying out is hers to play with. lol

I’m starting to get a little antsy though. In the mood to go somewhere. There’s only so long one can occupy oneself sitting at home. I’d really like to go visit my brother in GA but that’s not gonna happen. I’ll settle for a trip to Murray.

that’d be pretty nice about now…if the snow doesn’t keep everyone in .

I enjoy hearing those words. Lol. I went and got some heavily shielded speaker cables and finally ran the rear two speakers for my surround sound system. It’s amazing the difference that it makes and I’ve been sitting here watching misc movies off and on…speaking of movies. I stumbled across Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and bought it. :) It’s definitely my favorite movie of all time.

random note: Tazo’s Spiced Chai tea really isn’t that good…Tea from Wal-Mart is better. blah. (I just went and brewed me a pot)

I love having a clean apartment. Seriously. I haven’t actually “deep-cleaned” it in a few weeks. Having to move my entertainment center, couch and chair made me decide to bust out the dust cloth and mop and get to scrubbing. So, here I sit. In my quiet clean apartment, sipping on a cup of tea and watching Shadow chase around her little ball of yarn…yeah, after a couple of days I decided I like the cat. She hasn’t made a mess or scratched on the furniture yet and she seemed so helpless I decided to keep her. I know of some people who will never let me live this down. lol

Aside from that, not much has been going on. Class is still going well. I got my SAR from my FAFSA in and it’s looking like I’ll probably be in Owensboro for the fall semester as well. Surprisingly, I’m not too disappointed about that. While I definitely still want to move out of this town I’ve managed to achieve some stability in my life. As long as I’m still going to school full-time what’s the rush? Hopefully, by next Spring I’ll be able to head out…*shrugs* a lot can happen between now and then.

Talked to my brother for the first time in ages…him and his wife are going to try to make a trip up here in the next couple of months. If they can’t, I’m going to try to go down there again. Spend the week at Zoink catching tees. Yeah!

Oh, for anyone who has ever been a waiter I’ve got two awesome sites for you. Many of you already know of WaiterRant

but I’ve found The Insane Waiter is always good for a quick laugh.

I find myself craving a road trip very badly…hop in a car and hit the road. I’d really like to go to Colorado but I’ll settle for the chance to go to Murray and meet up with some old friends. Speaking of, I need a coffee buddy. Someone who enjoys heading down to the Royce late at night for a cup of coffee and a conversation. I’ve found myself missing that a lot here lately…
