The week hasn't really gotten much better. Well, Josh did come home from his work trip, which was great. He bought me this awesome popcorn from Garrett's in Chicago. This stuff was on Oprah's favorite things a few years ago and it's phenomenal. It's called Chicago blend, basically, cheese and carmel mixed. Ahh sweet and salty, I just finished the last bite.
OK well anyway, I have some complaints. These will probably seem like they should be found on this crazy website that my friend showed me at work. You can go to it here, however, keep in mind I think it's totally wrong, but funny. This is my blog and I'll whine if I want to.
1. I've been really bored lately. I am working in an office full-time, something I said I would, never do. Life is just mundane. I need to spice it up. I'm at a loss of how to do it, especially with a 20 month old.
2. I am tired of my tenants not paying rent on time. Now, one of them is moving out and breaking their lease with a two week notice after they still owe half of January. Lots of headaches, and I hate it. Will the FL real estate market PLEASE turn around already?! I'm dying to get rid of these properties.
3. I am working out and not really losing a lot of weight. OK, I KNOW the popcorn doesn't help.
4. I've had the same haircut for almost 15 years now. I'm too scared to change my natural curls and I really don't think I should dye my hair until I have to...ie: when it starts turning gray.
I went to a movie with my bff in the Atl last night. This was after I called her crying about how stressed I was about the family moving out and that this was a sign for me to move home to Daytona to our home that I love. Josh wasn't going for it, he loves it here.
BTW I need to get this off my chest. How can someone afford a boob job and a tummy tuck, when they can't even pay their rent? And they have 4 kids. People drive me crazy. Priorities anyone?
So anyway, we went to movies and snuck in Starbucks.
Kenzie and I met in journalism college at UF. She is single, living in the city, dating and can do anything she wants, when she wants. When we met at age 20, we were on the exact same path in life and 7 years later, are completely different but still love each other the same.
So in the car, here I am complaining about how my mundane life is so boring, there is nothing to do in Atlanta, the evenings after work all mirror the next, except for Monday's when HIMYM is on. Her response, well at least you're not lonely.
And she made me realize that everyone has complaints. We're all unhappy at times. We just need to over come them and feel grateful. And even though I complain, of course I'm grateful for everything I have, my job, my houses, Josh, Julie and all the headaches that come along with everything.
When things don't go my way and I'm disappointed, I just really need to keep in mind how fortunate I am. Life could always be way worse. And when I think of it like that, my troubles really have no merit. Plus, I can have dreams and write them down. One day, I will be a florist at Anne's Floral Designs. Josh and I will be able to whisk away to Las Vegas at the drop of a dime. And then I'll complain that my roses don't smell so great.

You are so blessed Anne! Women cant have babies, people have lost their homes, husbands have run off, etc. The routine can actually be comforting and secure. I found when I feel that way I have the power to change the day to day. Make a family game night, no t.v, Ikea meatball dinner night, find a church you like, womens groups, there is sooo much to do in Atlanta you can do on the weekends and ways to do it cheeply. Ask God to show you what he would like to do in your life ;)
