Sisters (Ladies please read!)

so I've been doing a lot of reading, esp chick lit and I've realized that many of the authors are just your normal people who decided to write as a hobby or just as a fluke and it turned into something more. When I was younger, I always enjoyed writing stories, esp murder mysteries and about different family relationships (usually mother/daughter). Somehow I got out of the habit but find myself really wanting to write again.

So ladies.. I really need your help. I want to write a book (possibly 2) about sisters. If you have a sister, you will know what I mean when I say you can't easily describe the relationship with your sister. I am extremely fascinated by this love/hate dynamic that binds 2 women together for life. No matter how mad I get at my sister, I love her so dearly and could not imagine life without her. I am sooo curious to know how sisters relate to each other and what they really think of each other day to day.

So how can you help? Well, I think that older sisters look at younger sisters in a certain light and vice versa. I want to see if there are patterns. I have created a survey of 10 questions about you and your sister.. I promise on my life that I will not share anything with anybody. This is strictly for research purposes and I am dead serious about this. I feel a little embarassed but I have this sudden momentum to do something I've always enjoyed and would really appreciate the help. I would love love love to have some middle sisters' opinions about both their sisters as well!!! Please contact me (either email or shoot me a message on FB of Myspace) to get the survey (I want to make this as private as possible)

Sidenote: This weekend should be a blast. Girls Night tonight. Derek's parents tomorrow and party at the house tomorrow night. Trey's football game and my parents Sun night. Full of birthday cake and presents. Life doesn't get much better :)

Until next time.. Ciao!

Looking Forward

Well, as some of you know, I've been going through a lot at work. I won't go into the issues on here but things started getting strained and tense when I started studying for the CPA exam. Once I passed, it just seemed like things were continually going downhill. Now, I'm the kind of person to let the little things go.. but they don't go competely, they get stored in this memory bank. So when 10-20 of these little things get added up in that same memory bank, I can't take it anymore and I tend to "explode". Which usually means I cry a lot and then feel bad for even bringing it up.. well, this happened a few weeks ago with my grandfather. So, needless to say the office has been this giant eggshell ever since. Well, I finally decided to talk to my doctor about things to see if I needed to go on any kind of anxiety or depression medication since I find myself getting so agitated and upset over all of this stuff. So, he actually sat there and talked to me for a good half hour about what's been going on and how I've reacted to everything. I've never had a doctor take the time to actual sit and listen to me. It was a pleasant experience. As a professional working in a similar partnership, he gave me some very useful advice. He did not put me on any meds, but suggested that I talk to a counselor or therapist just to have an outlet for when I do get upset with someone from work. Long story short, I am going to try my best to just look forward and not worry about this petty shit at work. I didn't study my ass off to just throw it all away on stupid drama! (He also gave me Chantix to help me quit smoking.. mine and Derek's goal date is after my birthday)

Anyways, besides all that crap, me and Derek had a pretty fantastic weekend. We finally cleaned our computer room, which has been put off for months; we saw some movies, ate some good food, enjoyed having our friends over at the house and caught up on some tv and laundry. It was wonderful! I love my husband and I love my family and friends dearly. Now, I just need to focus on making my job a pleasant experience as well. Wish me luck on that! haha

Until next time.. Ciao!
