I am currently in the throes of preparations for a web design meeting tomorrow at 3:30pm. I'm going to sleep now, but I thought I'd leave a little post to update everyone on what's happening.

In no particular order:

-I'm being considered for a position at a production company that is relocating to Kissimmee (near Orlando, otherwise known as "the hometown of Mickey Mouse). I've just sent them a few writing samples, so we'll see where that goes. And, more importantly, will Keith have any fingernails left after waiting?
-Justin and I watched quite a few movies lately, including Signs, The Good Girl, The Birdcage, All Over the Guy, and one episode of Sports Night, which is not a movie, but character-driven nonetheless. Signs pretty much scared us silly. We will not forgive M. Night Shyamalan anytime soon.
-Justin gave me a Care Bear wallet with Grumpy Bear (my favorite) on the outside. Josh and I discussed this at work and decided that I could definitely pull off the whole "Care Bear wallet thing" with style...mostly because no one's gonna argue with the 200+ pound man in his choice of wallet...are they?
-My neck has a strange kink in it which is preventing me from turning my head from side to side. All I've looked at lately is what is directly in front of me and a little above my chest. No fun.

But, tomorrow is another day...a day in which I need to perfect the user interface for Seminole County's virtual tour of their courthouse. YEA! (insert non-sarcastic smile here).

There's a temptation when a bad day rolls around to hole up in your room and try to count on your fingers the number of people who are on your side versus the number of people who aren't (and we're not even counting inanimate objects that seem to spring out from nowhere to trip you...i.e. very large shoes that you don't remember buying...at least I know where I've picked up all the people in my life). Today was one of those days. To follow the temptation is futile, however. I could have done the count, but there's deception in numbers...the quality of the support around me from friends and loved ones is amazing--a true blessing.

So, instead of hiding in the room, I counted those blessings:
-A caring God who's never surprised or annoyed with anything we bring before him.
-A wonderful boyfriend who has great advice to give, even moments after waking...not to mention his sweet spirit, kind heart, loving smile, and biting wit. He's always soothing to my soul.
-Great friends who I know are thinking about/praying for/listening to/spending time with me.
-Parents who love me unconditionally and are patient enough to stick around until we figure things out.

I'm not trying to be simplistic or cheesy here. I could smile and truely be ready to help others at work because of these bessings. I can genuinely say that I'm happy...not that happiness is deserved.

But I'm sure grateful. =)
