Not Diggin' The Sheep Thing...

I really miss those people I can count on in my life. You know, the ones you can call at 3 A.M. and they will be at your house in 15 minutes?

Don't get me wrong... I still have those people, they are just, you know, 1500 miles away.

Kinda a pain in the ass on days like today. Thank God for technology.

I've learned that most people are sheep. They will blindly follow wherever they are led, without the ability (or desire, apparently) to think for themselves and do what they really want. Instead, they let someone else decide what is good, bad, right, and wrong. They let other people make their choices, and they just mechanically follow.

Sad.

My friends, however, are very unlike this. They are willful, independent, strong, confident, amazing people. They have vision. They have talent. They have heart. They are real and authentic.

That's not to say we never have issues. We disagree, and we get over it. They live their lives, I live mine. We don't always see eye to eye, but we always have each others' backs.

Those are the people I want and need in my life. Those are the fantastic people I am privileged to call my friends. Those are the people who matter.

And the rest? They.just.don't.

Most people will come and go.

And that's okay.

They enter your life for a reason or a season, and then they are gone.

My friends, however, aren't most people. :)

New Years Eve Pictures

So, I'm running about 2 week behind on posting pictures right now...

We spend New Years Eve on 6th Street in Austin. With fantastic friends. It was a GREAT time, and I enjoyed it immensely.

Here's proof...

Champagne Toast at Midnight. Happy 2011!

Pretty girls!

My most favorite lawyer and his gorgeous wife

Good times. Great friends. Yummy beer.

Happy New Years

You have to love the Madden Girl Glitter Heels. Love them!

Obviously, alcohol was involved :)

Love LoVE LOVE this girl.

I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve and an awesome kick off to 2011.

May this be your best year yet!

Random Rant Over... Back To Reality

So I was highly unhappy earlier... thus the blog post.

However, English Toffee, a hot bubble bath, and a good movie can cure a lot of things. So, mostly, I'm over it.

So we are replacing unhappy thoughts with happy thoughts. I took a psychology class once. So I could pretty much be a therapist. And in my psychoanalytical opinion (emphasis on psycho, probably), if you focus on the good, your life will seem better. If you focus on the bad, it will probably seem worse.

I could be the next Freud.

Riiiiight.

So, in the spirit of the good, here it is: Things that make me superbly happy. Enjoy!

These 2 boys ROCK.MY.WORLD!

The BEST friends a girl could ask for. My junior high crew.

Winning at bowling. Nevermind I was playing against my 2 kids and my partially handicapped father.

A win's a win, right?!

Iceskating with the boys. In Colorado. Outdoors. While it's snowing.

And keeping them off the ground. Bravo.

New Years Eve with one of the most amazing girls I've ever had the honor of being friends with.

Knowing there are people you can count on to have your back = PRICELESS!

I feel better already!
