27

Yes friends, it's that day. When I turn 27. I'm not stressing out about the day. Or my age. Or where I am in life. To me, it's just another day...

I'm at work. In the middle of the labor and delivery floor. Listening to screaming women. It's life. And my family was never big on birthdays. So I never really got into the crazy celebrations for my own birthday. I'm a year older. I'm not sure how much wiser. But a year older.

For the most part, I'm happy with where my life is. Could it be better...yes. But it's a nice life. You have to learn how to take the good with the bad.

My goals for the year...get back into playing with a Mariachi. Full time. Stop being so damn shy and quiet! Work on being happy and enjoying life. Zo keeps telling me that I need a boyfriend to do that. I'm not so sure about that. But it couldn't hurt. Well, if the right guy came around. And I really want to work on making my house a home. It's almost been 9 years. And I still feel like it's not quite home.

I look at birthdays as starting off points. Places to make positive changes. To set goals. And to see where life has taken me thus far. I would love to be a better musician. To become more of a people person. And most of all enjoy my life more. So here is to year #27! I just know, it's going to be a good one. :) ♥Besitos

Consuming Passions

Do you remember when I blogged about Crazy Ladies? It's such a great book! And I've been looking for a good book to read. So I logged on to my Barnes and Noble account. Because I have Michael Lee West saved as a favorite author, this book came up as a recommendation.

I really think that I need to get it. Consuming Passions looks like another good read. And I seriously need something else to read. Besides all these medical books. Sometimes, school just kills my passion to read. But this book just might reignite my reading fire. ♥Besitos

A Sad Day

I don't even know what to say. My heart is breaking. My dear Aunt past away today...

I was planning on coming down here. To my hometown. When my parents called me yesterday and told me how bad she was, I knew I had to come. I wanted to say goodbye. So I talked to Dr. S and let him know. And I was coming today.

My Mom called this morning. As I was preparing to leave. And she told me that my Aunt had died. I didn't know what to say. Or what to think. It wasn't that long ago that I had seen her. She was just 72 years old. It's a sad day for our family.

I still made the trip. And the whole way, I kept hearing this sad songs on the radio. I cried most of the way. Collin Raye's "If You Get There Before I Do" kept coming on. And I just kept thinking about my Uncle. And the song, "Temporary Home," by Carrie Underwood just brought me to tears.

By the time I got to my Uncle's house, I was so emotional. And seeing him, just made me want to cry. he was so lost! They had been married over 50 years! It makes me wonder what the next few days are going to bring. I just wish that my Uncle could have some peace. I know it's going to be really hard for him. ♥Besitos
