Let's try this again!

I know, I know, 2 years (almost) since my second post ever. I am a horrible blogger, but I am willing to put forth the effort to try again and maintain this thing. Well what have I been up to lately?

I died my hair blond, (yes blond) and I love it, and I get a lot of compliments on it, but I think I may need to cut it again, because its getting HOT here in the Lodi/Sac area. And by hot I mean 83 degrees fahrenheit. Which I know isn't really hot, per say. But Heat and I are not best friends.

Also Shay and I went to the Lady Gaga concerton the 23rd at Arco, and it was FANTASTIC! I can honestly say I have never cried at a concert before, but I cried at Gaga, twice..... She (Gaga) is a very down to earth person for all her crazy outfits, and highjinks. She urges all her fans to be themselves, be proud of who you are, and be proud of what you do and create. Well those are all things that I have to do some serious work on. I have never been the most self-assured person, and I have always had some body image issues. Also I know that I need to give myself more credit for the things that I knit, crochet, and sew and all that, and stop belittling the awesome things I make.

Shay has been a great addition to the household, and I enjoy seeing her every day. She has a way of lifting my spirits when I feel crappy, and even though we still fight about stuff like sisters do, having her here is a blessing because I never really got to know the grown up her, just the bratty baby, kid and teen she was. She has grown as a person tremendously, and I am super proud of the adult that she is. (Even though she is still a brat sometimes.)

I got a kudos award at work yesterday, which is basically just a certificate, and a mylar balloon taped to my desk, but it felt really good to get the recognition that i deserve for busting my tush on a daily basis. I had to laugh though, for at the end of little paragraph about my awesomeness (I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am) the last sentence said "Caresse is a real Treasurer" I didn't know that I got to handle money, where's the cash box? Anyway thats all for now, another post soon! Pinkie Swear! Caresse
