My first blog... don't make fun.

I don't know much about blogging. Never read one, never wrote one.

Em's blogs are very inspirational and Annie's are funny about the nightly happenings in the Cabana. I've been staying here for almost a month now. It's not really my home. I'm crashing on a Oliga's bed who is off galavanting in Russia. Is galavanting a word? Not sure but I'll stick to it. The girls in this house never fail to amaze me. They are all strong beautiful woman and downright hilarious when it comes down to it. I've never lived in a house full of woman roommates. It's always been dirty, grunting, video game playing boys. I like these girls and as much as I'd like to stick around, Oliga will someday return and want her bedroom back... if she wanted to share it would be a little weird :). I've been on the hunt. The hunt has been an adventure. Between bad neighborhoods, dirty apartments, rat traps, & cockroaches, I decided I needed to get away from Brownstone properties... ughhh!!! I visited 11 apartments in all. The 2 today were wonderful. I've chosen a one bedroom plus den with a great balcony, dishwasher, den, washer dryer hookups, and a skylight! Oh and cable is included. A true diamond in the rough! I feel strong now that I'm moving on and beginning to realize that like the other woman in this house I am strong and beautiful too. I recently read a note that someone I recently met had posted that talked about the 3 L's of life: Live, Laugh, & Love. My definitions for these are always evolving. Currently, I'm putting fear aside and going to live. I've been afraid for too long to do and say what I want. I want to be courageous again. I'm going to keep laughing. There are so many funny things to laugh at every day and most of all I'm gonna laugh at myself when I need to (which is probably more often than most people). Love has been a scary one for me this last month. But it has also been inspiring. When a person is in a relationship, they forget to remember how many other people in their life love them. I've been blessed with an amazing family and amazing friends and I keep meeting more amazing people everyday. Today I'm gonna live, laugh, & love and I'm going to continue doing it everyday until my journey ends. I maybe moving away from the Clover Cabana but you better believe it'll will always be a part of me. But... with my own place I can dance around in my skivies all I want!
