I can do this!

So I sat down and figured it out, if I were to write 175 words per day from today until new year's eve, I can finish the number of pages I had in mind for my novel. When I look at it that way, it doesn't seem bad at all. An average page has like 250 words or so and I am sure I can do a page a day. I just really need to get myself pumped to do it. It was so exciting to start the project at first back in April of 2008. ( I started another novel first in October 2007 but changed my mind and put it on the back burner for the one I am writing now. I was like 40 pages into that one so maybe it will be book number 2.) But as I got further into it, the excitement of the newness of it began to fade. Kind of like many relationships in my past. I also think that I take for granted how incredibly easy it is for me to write because in reality it isn't that way for several people I know. Still, if nothing else it is definitely something I need to finish. Something I want to finish. (This is already over 200 words right here.) Ok, ok I can do this!

Here we go again...

I decided to write something today. Not that I have anything really all that exciting to say. Time just keeps rolling right along and I really feel sometimes like I am no further than I was 3 years ago. In fact, sometimes I feel like I am going backwards. I desperately need to figure out what to do with my life. I can't believe how hard that is. I seriously thought I had it all figured out when I was 18 years old but I completely did not. I have only seemed to figure out what I know I don't want to do. I probably shouldn't even be writing about it because it is bound to put me in a bad mood. And on that note, I am changing the subject.

I am glad the summer is almost over. It means the best time of the year (minus hay fever, hearing Jason complain about how much he hates the cold, and raking the 5 gazillion leaves from my yard) is quickly appproaching. My birthday, Christmas, and our anniversary are just around the bend and also what seems to be turning into a yearly trip to Disney. Yay, I can't wait. This year we are probably going on a cruise and visiting the park for a week or so. We just have to figure out when to go and buy the tickets. Whenever we decide it can't be soon enough. I really would give anything to get away right now for a little while. Even if it is to just sit on a beach somewhere, I would be very happy.

We were trying to get a little reunion going with some of the people from Titusville but that doesn't look like it is happening for this year. I am bound and determined to get back there within the next year though because next September it will be 15 years since we started dating. Crazy how time flies like that. I really don't feel that much older but I guess the calendar says I am.
