Let's Try This Again Shall We?

This is long overdue. I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. Mine was full of fun times, breakdowns, concerts, friends, food, drinks, and of course work at the Dream Factory. There was one moment that stuck out in my head as the best day of the summer. The 4th of July. That day was the first time that my parents and Bear's parents and his Aunt and Uncle were able to get together. We played games and had tons of laughs as well as fun discussions. It was great to see our families getting along and to see my parents smiling. That was my happiest day of summer. It also helped that I didn't have to work.

What can I say to catch anyone up on what's going on in my life? Unless you've been here, there's so much to tell, but I shall do my best to sum up the events of my life in the past three months.

I've worked my ass off at the Dream Factory. Paychecks were nice for awhile, but now we're entering slow movie season. Paychecks will be less sweet. I've finally managed to pay my parents back the astounding $1100 I've owed them for sometime now. I am back in college this semester even though I decided I hadn't wanted to go back. I'm taking Organic Chemistry and repeating a public speaking class. I've also kept up with my painting. For those of you that don't have me on fb, here's links to what I have done thus far:

As I list these, I realize that art has kept me busy as well as somewhat sane over the summer from my own inner turmoil. I need to exercise again for the sake of my own health. I'm 5'1 and I weigh an ungodly 190 lbs. I feel disgusting in my own skin. Body image issues much?

I've also tried out some gardening. I grew little tomatoes, but when work go the best of me, I forgot about them and the plants died. That also goes for the baby plants of pumpkin, sunflower, and corn. Yes, I feel bad. Yes, I am going to try again. I refuse to give up until I grow the yummiest foodage to eat!
