mood rings

Violet/blue: happy romantic

Blue: calm, relaxed

Green: average, not much going on with you

Yellow/amber: tense, excited

Brown/gray: nervous anxious

Black: negativity. (or cold temperature or a damaged ring)

mine is currently blue/green referring to my calm, relaxed state. Which i guess is average.

thought for the day

thought for the day:
do you mainly see the world in black and white? a definitive right and wrong, good and evil etc. or

do you mainly see yourself seeing the world in gray? meaning (seeing the world in all kinds of colors for example because gray is such a dull color) an "it depends" kind of world?

i was listening to this song, and well because most of the music out there is about love, or relationships etc, i couldn't help but relate what was said in the song to my own personal life. there i was, driving home, feeling "twitterpated" about my own personal life. especially because this has only been the second time i've been able to feel like this for someone else. 

interestingly, amidst this ecstatic feeling, in a matter of seconds fear overcame me. i got scared simply because i haven't been in a relationship this long and frankly, i don't want to get hurt. 

what's so funny is that you get into this relationship and you let them in. you let them into your life and then, for some reason, you wonder if he will fall "out of love" with you. 

i always thought i was a very trusting person, but i guess when you love someone so much, it's easier said than done. i trust him, and who he is, but a part of me wonders if he will ever want someone else. 

because i have put myself out there, not to mention for someone else, it would hurt that much more. 

but why do people do that? why do we automatically doubt someone? am i being selfish because i have put myself out there and i don't want to be the one who gets hurt? they love you and yet you still get scared. 

nonetheless, go back to that song and relate it to your own life. it will give you hope and that, my friends, will make you happy. 

"all i have to fear, is fear itself" right? not the person you love.

" i use the word totally too much. I need to change it up and use a word that is different but has the same meaning. Mitch do you like submarine sandwiches? All-encompassingly . . ."

"If you had a friend who was a tightrope walker, and you were walking down a sidewalk, and he fell, that would be completely unacceptable . . ."

"I order a club sandwich all the time. And i'm not even a member, I don't know how i get away with it. 

"I like my sandwiches with three pieces of bread."

"So do I."

"Let's form a club then"

"Okay, but we're gonna need some more stipulations."

"yes we do."

"OK . . . instead of cutting it once, lets cut it again."

"Yeah, four triangles."

"And we will position them in a circle. And in the middle we will dump chips. Or potato salad."

"Let me ask you a question, how do you feel about frilly toothpicks?"

"I'm for'em!!"

"Well, this club is formed. Spread the news on menus nationwide"

dear readers

dear readers, i deleted a post you may or may not have read and well, to a certain someone, whose name will not be mentioned, it seemed angry. i am by no means an angry person, and if i offended you i deeply, and sincerely, apologize. 

i guess what i meant to say is that i cannot take criticism. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but sometimes i just can't handle someone being "all up in my grill :)"

anyways, for future references, this blog will never, ever be used against any one person. i speak in general terms and i will never take this blog and use it to offend, or hurt , anybody. 

ode to jackson

I often find myself being captivated by the Tetons. sometimes they simply blow me away. oh, how wild they can be.

skiing and the village: the nooks and crannies of rendezvous mountain. the powder stashes, the corduroy, the trees, the lifts, the hobacks☺ : “Good morning skiers and snowboarders. This is Andrea with the ski report for March 5, 2009. Today’s conditions are packed powder and machine groomed. Don’t forget! The weather report calls for one foot overnight.” the sanctuary and peace amidst this entire mountain is endless and not forget, as a skier, I have only become better since I’ve moved here.

the friends: the best. I am pretty sure they were a blessing way beyond my expectations. one in particular restored my faith in people. dziekuje.

biking: red top meadows. do I need to say more?

pearl street bagels: seven grain with a shmear of veggie cream cheese.

center for the arts: a place for exercise and dancing, yoga and hip-hop and tap dancing. oh yes, I did take a tap dancing class. as well as concerts, movie premiers, and all my nursing classes. I guess you could say I have spent my share of time there.

Jackson holds so much for me. I grown here. I’ve been happy.
