I think I’ll start this off by saying I’ve been up to . . . .BEING HAPPY! Of course there are situations in my life that could be better, but right now, I’m the happiest I have been in a VERY long time. I have someone in my life that constantly makes me laugh and smile, and is GREAT! 2nd, The shirt company is growing at a good rate. We continue to get orders, and are trying to expand more, and are hoping to get into colored shirts soon. ILTHY is on the rise! THIS IS OUR YEAR! – Planning on going to New York next month to visit my best friend. I haven’t been out there for MONTHS, so a trip is due! (February Steph, I PROMISE)

Other than that, I’ve just been relaxing. Enjoying things as they happen. Excited about things that are coming in the near future. (Adam’s Wedding, fixing my debt, hopefully moving out soon, etc.)

And this is where blogging becomes an issue. I don’t know what else to write, so I guess I’ll end here. I am going to try to stay consistent with blogging, but I can’t guarantee that I will.

-quick side note. For SOME reason, I’ve been listening to “Say Anything – …Is A Real Boy” a lot lately, not sure why… annnnd also the 90s hip-hop channel on slacker.com – brings back MEMORIES!

Not sure why, but I’ve listened to this song about 5 times today. GREAT SONG!
I think tomorrow will be The Mars Volta day on my iPod

Maybe I’m just lazy. I think there are a few things that I can blog about, I just don’t feel like thinking out exactly what I want to say, and finding a picture to match the blog, etc. LAZY LAZY LAZY. but. . . . updates coming soon. I’ll definitely blog sometime this week. Ups & Downs continue to happen in my life, but I’m trying to stay positive and happy!

p.s.  MY SCARF > YOURS! ………….. w00t!

10 Things I’ve been thankful for in 2009.

10. My life in general. It has it’s ups and downs, but who’s doesn’t!? I’m pretty lucky to have what I do have, and with the way things are going now, it just keeps looking like it’s only gonna get better!

9. The negative things that have happened. Although they were bad and often made me stressed out or depressed, it’s those things that pushed me towards being a more positive person. It has motivated me to strive for nothing but the best.

8. My health. I’m pretty lucky. Only bad thing that happened to me was my stitches, and I thought they were pretty cool. LOL. I’m kind of upset that I don’t have a cooler scar!

7. GREAT MUSIC… Music gets me through the day EVERYDAY. No matter what mood I’m in, there’s always a song I can relate to at that moment.

6. Hotcards.com – It’s always good to have a job….and such an easy going job at that. I still continue to grow as an artist and a person by learning things hands on.

5. Family & Friends. My family is great, even though we’re CRAZY as hell when we all get together. No matter what, we always have a good time in the end. My friends are GREAT. I’ve gained a few new friends this year and they kick ass just as much as my old ones.

4. Glen & I Love The Hype. Glen started the company and offered me a part-ownership spot on the company. We’re only getting better, look for us in 2010!

3. My BEST FRIEND, MY 3rd Sister, Steph! She keeps me sane, and focused. Helps me stay positive and helps me believe in myself! She’s always there for me to talk to or to make me laugh when I need it most! I love you Steph!

2. My sisters. They drove me crazy growing up, and still drive me crazy, but they’ve taught me A LOT and have always done as much as they could for me. Love you punks!

1. MY MOM. This will remain the same ALWAYS. I love my mom. She is irreplaceable! She does (and always has done) as much as she could for her 3 kids and 4 grand kids! Not to mention, she’s COOL as HELL! Couldn’t ask for a better mom!

From the minute I woke up, I felt like yesterday (Tuesday) was going to be a good day. And I was 100% correct. It began by me singing ridiculously in my car. LOL. I’m sure I looked like a fool, but it felt really good. Work was good, went by pretty fast. After that was the meeting. The hype is definitely going to progress and become a more legitimate company within the next month, so keep an eye out for that. 2010 = The Year of The Hype. Last but not least, I got rid of some negativity. Something I’ve been dealing with for a while now. Now I’m moving forward. Worrying about my future and working on finding things that make me happy!

Tomorrow = TURKEY DAY! I love turkey! w0000t! and A few, much needed, days off of work!

Thinking that things are starting to look up. I feel better about things and I’m trying to keep positive about things in my life. 2009 has been one hell of a year, and I’m hoping to close it out keeping this way of being. I’ve always thought, and told people that are down about things or need my advice, that once you’ve hit the bottom, the only way to go is up, and I’m on the rise! Anxious/Excited, and of course Semi-Nervous about upcoming events…but hopefully there’s nothing to be nervous about! My pal Ali will be home from TX in a few weeks, then my BEST FRIEND (my 3rd sister, aaaaand the brats) will be home for NEW YEARS!!!!! CAN’T WAIT! Time to get ready for the day. KEEP CHECKING FOR UPDATES

-Side note: I find it really weird that I’m blogging at 6:20am….lol

No, not again. I’m not neglecting my blog like I did before. I’ve just been a little busy this past week. I will not go months without blogging like I did. There’s too much going on, and too much on my mind to do that. I’ve been helping my bestest pal get her blog up, and actually catching up on some sleep. So some updates are on the way, I feel a vent session coming on this weekend. Stay Tuned!

I don’t believe in much, but I definitely believe in KARMA. Things will come back to bite you in the ass. It’s a proven fact.
WHAT GOES AROUND – COMES AROUND

I guess I will never fully understand people, or maybe even myself. Things always come up unexpectedly. Things that make me learn about how people are and react to things, and what effect I have on people and even my own life. I just try to be humble, live life to the fullest and treat people the way I would want to be treated.  I really don’t know what else to say right now….so I’ll just end it here.
