take the GOOD with the BAD

so here i am. a lot is reeling through my head. i feel a little koo koo right now so hopefully getting this all out will at the very least make me feel better. here goes...

BAD news first:
the past 24 hrs i've been losing things and it is making me quickly lose my mind. it all started friday afternoon (yesterday) at work when i thought i lost an earring. mind you this is just an earring... not expensive, and replaceable. thankfully i found it after digging trough all the contents of my purse. problem solved; or so i thought. the next item up is one of my FAVORITE movies 'baby mama'. so ridiculous that i cannot describe to you, how do you lose the disc and not the cover? i got into the bad habit of just laying dvds around after watching them and not putting them away into their covers. so my wish is that it will magically appear. i have checked in both dvd players here at home, and high and low in all the expected places. maybe i'll have chad alder burn me a new copy. he does that you know. :) the third item are mine and my mom's tennis rackets. thought they were in the hall closet but nooooo. the next place to look for them is in our joke of a garage. at the moment it is filled up with stuff so that none of our cars fit in there. good luck finding the rackets in all of that. i have however, been quite persistent lately and i am not about to give up! lastly, i can't find any of my tax forms that i set aside. a week ago i went into a major spring cleaning of my bedroom, and somehow misplaced or even *ouch* threw them away. i now have to go to the palms and get a new print out of my earnings, (i hope they can do that) and also go to the library for a new form. so i am 1 for 4 for finding my lost stuff! pray that i can find all of this or somehow make it right in my mind. not a huge deal because they are material. but like anyone, it is making me feel like a nut! oh and by the way if we happened to play tennis together with the rackets in question, give me a holla!

the GOOD news: my aunt, uncle, and two cousins are visiting from virginia. its been fun taking them to the monrovia street fair, on a hike and to knotts. unfortunately, i wasn't able to join them in the last two mentioned because i had work. but not complaining here because this is the good news! we all will be meeting up for brunch tomorrow after church and have the afternoon to hang out before they leave on Monday morning. another piece of joy is that i got a facial at work today. as i am in my final days at the palms, (in case you didn't know. it's all for the best since i am at acs again as i mentioned earlier in a blog. ask me for details in person if you really care to know more.) sofie our facialist gave me a great facial as my "going away gift". plus, i heard through the grapevine that our spa will be throwing me a small going away dinner. that's nice eh? i am finishing up one of my classes on the 13th, so i will be at pcc one less day a week! during my spring break i will be spending over half of it in colorado with my other aunt and cousins. that will be in about 2 weeks, so of course i am looking forward to that. and last but most certainly not least i am all about "paying it forward." what is this you ask? check out my next blog...
