I Left My Pinot Grigio in the Freezer!!

Tonight was a night of studying, then relaxation and getting myself into some sort of "zen-like" mode. Thought about relaxing in the bath with a nice glass of wine, but got caught up in the movie "A Little Bit of Heaven" and decided that the bath was out. Was finishing up studying and then it hit me: I LEFT MY PINOT IN THE FREEZER!!! ((Followed by BIG MASSIVE POUT!!!)) Ha! Go Figure! The story of my life! There has been a lot going on with work, life and pending up coming events I've been trying to prepare for. This coming Friday I have to take a "Life in UK" test, which is all good and dandy. It's a pretty easy and straight forward test BUT there's just so much pressure to pass it as it's important in order to move forward with my immigration process! (Plus, it cost's £50 every time you take the stupid thing!) So, I'm hoping that first time is a charm and the test (That I have been studying for weeks now for!) will be a breeze and I will be in and out smiling like a champ! (Wish me luck!) I'm so close to the halfway mark of this immigration process! If I can just hang in there a bit longer, jump through the hoops with no problems, the rest of this process should be a breeze and hopefully 2014 can bring the promise of a duel citizenship! Hang in there....Breathe... It's just nerves. I don't know why I get this way! I was like this for my driving theory test and I passed that with flying colours and I think that test was waaaay harder than this one will be! But that's why I usually try to really get good relaxation and rest before the test... Back to my Pinot! So sad about this prediciment as now it's getting too late to indulge...I may anyways, frozen slush and all! Perhaps I can find some sort of life metaphor that ties into this experience? Feel free to add any thoughts! Here's to relaxation and frozen wine!

"The Lead of Love"...

"Looking back at the road so far The journey's left it's share of scars. Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight. Looking back it is clear to me, that a man is more than the sum of his deeds, And how you make good of this mess I've made is a profound mystery. Looking back you know you had to bring me through all that I was so afraid of though I questioned the sky now I see why...Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view looking back I see the lead of love Looking back I can finally see how failures bring humility(I'd rather have wisdom and pain) Brings me to my knees (Than be a comfortable old fool)Helps me see my need for thee..." - "The Lead of Love" from Caedmon's Call. I have really been working on putting the pieces of my life back together and I think that one of the things that have been missing in my life is my spiritual growth. It's something I've been thinking and missing for some time now and think that maybe ...

Facing Fears Head On

We all get scared from time to time. It's not unusual, it's not a feeling only subjected to specific individuals, it can influence anyone. The trick is to admit your scared, figure out why, and face it straight on. I think this is something that I've been facing daily since my divorce (and definitely before but it's been more prominently noticeable since my divorce), back then it was "how will I do this on my own?", "will anyone ever love me or am I even capable of loving someone back?" and maybe the funniest of the bunch: "Am I going to become one of those 'spinsters' with 20 cats?!!?" (I don't even really like cats that much! LOL! I much prefer a dog!) But I think this experience here has been the scariest of all experiences. These are new fears like fitting in, adjusting to the culture, acceptance, being able to work and make a good living, driving, etc. It plays on my mind everyday. I know I can do this, I know that 6 mo...

These Small Hours...

"Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders,these twists & turns of fate. Time falls away, but these small hours,These small hours still remain..." I love this song from Rob Thomas, I think it fully embraces one of my favorite things in life: know knowing and appreciating the little things in life. I really feel that a lot of times, it's the small things that can make the biggest impact in one's life, and sadly enough, it's often the things we take for granted the most. When I was in Boise and things felt rough or those "twists and turns of fate" would throw blows at me, I used to drive up to table rock (or area's by that also over-looked the city) when the sun was setting and stars were coming out to think and put things back into perspective. I remember being just in awe of the sight as the sun slowly dipped into the earth and the night city would come alive with the stars making their twinkly appearance above. As I sat the...
