A Beautiful Mess This Is...

It's days before my finals and the end to my first semester in nursing school. I am at the library studying and am distracted by a song by Jason Mraz titled A Beautiful Mess. This song speaks to me because I am totally a walking contradiction these days..."Hector, love, please do this for me, even though I am independent and do not need your help!" Or, "Hector, baby, have you done laundry? But please don't dry my pants, they're starting not to fit anymore." Right? Sound familiar?

Anyway, before I was leaving Coolidge (literally the day before) to move back to Flag, I realized I was leaving my dad alone for the first time in almost two years. I spent an entire day crying in my office listening to this song which made me feel sad, but strong at the same time.

These days, this song makes me think a lot of my nursing cohorts (yes, you Becca, Lindsey, Adrian) and how we're all going through this crazy time trying to become something new and better, and we struggle at times, but we've got what it takes, right? Right, cause here. we. are.

I am so GLEE-ful!

Please, please tell me everyone else out there is as excited as I am about the new FOX series coming this fall called GLEE. I watched the premiere last spring, and I am DIE-YING for the Sept start date. For all of us performing arts nerds, it is like candy...sweet, sweet lip-syncing, choreographed candy.

July babies are the best....

There is definitely no arguing that point...This month we celebrate BJ, Hondo, and Natalie for choosing sweet summatime to make their debut into this world...
PS-In lieu of birthday gifts, all three have requested that, instead, donations of cash money be sent directly to Reyna's house...you know, for, "miscellaneous expenses"...

The delightful Emma Watson on Letterman, deftly handling all manner of awkwardly posed prompts, and keeping it classy...
