Keep me in Mind

I was planning on blogging yesterday but I was just too tired to do that.  My Valentine's Day was pretty crappy in the beginning. I woke up with a major sore throat that I knew was leading to a full blown cold.  However, I was very excited to go to my massage at 3pm.  So I got to work and took some dayquill and I was feeling a little better, then I get a message from the massage lady saying that she has to cancel because she's sick.  OK, I get that she's sick however, I am sick too and I still came to work!  So I called her back and some little, little kid answers the phone and it's all just baby talk, so I hang up and call back, I finally get the girl on the phone and shes like yea I'm sick we'll have to reschedule, I told her that I work until 6pm.  She said she'd just come in for me...but I was thinking I'd get a crappy massage because she was mad.  In the end, she offered to do it on a Sunday...which works out for me.  Then Bailey had his dental on Monday, with 11 extractions!  His stomach was bloated so Malissa dropped him off at my work yesterday for the doctor to look at him...I was worried but she assured me he was just fine, and the x-ray from Monday was significantly different than yesterdays.  Then I had plans with my mom for dinner at this place she's been to before that has some fondue and martini's...so she was really excited to take me there.  We get there and the place is like dead, and the guy comes up to us and says, "I see you ladies looking at the appetizer menu, however are kitchen is closed today".  My mom was pretty upset about it, but it's all good, stuff happens!  So then I suggested going for hibachi because she's never had it. So we did that and she liked it.  So for dinner my mom was my Valentine.  After that I brought Papa a valentine and gave one to Donna too.  All my valentines are people some of the people that have been so supportive lately.  This morning I woke up still feeling icky but overall good.  While I was interning in my field of AODA, one of the things we did in group was ask everyone in the beginning how they felt, to name a feeling.  The feeling can't be good, fine, or OK....you had to have an actual descriptive feeling.  So I'm going to try to start future blogs posts like that.  Today despite having a sore throat, and all the ickyness that comes with a cold I feel HAPPY.  Yes, I said happy people!  Last night my mom told me that she was proud of me...I said what could you possibly proud of about me? And she said that I'm a hell of a better person at my age than she was at this age.  My response was hmmm I don't feel very accomplished.  I still live at 'home', I haven't graduated, I don't have a boyfriend/fiance/husband, no kids, and I almost pretty much live paycheck to paycheck.  I woke up this morning feeling a little different.  I feel happy!  Who cares that I still live at home? Even if I had the money to not live at home, my heart would want to stay because I love where I live.  So I haven't graduated yet, but I have a long life ahead of me to finish and get my degree.  I don't need a boyfriend/fiance/husband or kids.  I'm a strong independent woman, I don't need all that...it'd be nice but it is what it is.  AND I should be happy because 16 days from now I will be in Fort Lauderdale, FL soaking up the sun, getting on that boat that will take me to new places I've never been, have only seen in pictures, and where I've dreamed of going....I'll be soaking up the sun!  My massage is scheduled for the Sunday that I leave...I got my nails done tonight, I get my haircut on the 25th...my hair was highlighted earlier this month....all that's left is packing my bags :) 
On my way home tonight, I heard this song on the radio and I just love it....the video of it it below!

My favorite part is this:
Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only

I think about you some days
And the way I would lay wastin' day after day with you
We always go our separate ways
But no one can love you baby the way I do

Keep me in mind
Somewhere down the road you might get lonely
Keep me in mind
And I pray someday that you will love me only

Well the world can be real tough
Find shelter in me
If there's no one else to love
Keep me in mind

Well, I hope my blog is interesting to most of you...but I'm off for tonight...gonna wake up early to go to the gym (as long as I'm feeling a little better), and then off to work from 10-6pm!
