Plowing along..

Ah the daily hurdles we go through in life.

Lately it seems like mine continue to pile up like *insert clever line here*
I was going to say hot cakes, but I don't think hot cakes pile up.
Nevertheless..

I'm a pretty happy person. My facebook personality quiz said I was "Understanding, Cautious, Upbeat." Those aren't terrible. They're pretty good traits. I find myself often sticking up for those traits lately though. And my natural laid back sense of Tess has slowly begun to deplete. Which, is really sad. I guess thats what totally commiting yourself to someone can do. I guess I just never have fully given myself to someone in the past. Because I feel like.. right now its worse than puberty!
And puberty was pure hell growing up. I'm sure it was for everybody. Hurdle. Hurdle. Hurdle.

I'm noticing slowly, my friend line is being depleted as well. I thought about it the other day and realized that I don't really make the effort to keep friendships anymore. I'm the glue that holds most of my friendships together. Making things work. Lately I just havn't tried or really cared. I don't mind being by myself. I enjoy my own company. Does that sound bad?
Am I going to be one of those old ladies who ENJOYS staying at home watching day time television with *insert type animal that would not be allergic to here*
Honestly..
It doesn't sound that bad.

People in the past, like... when I was a teenager and even now tell me that I'm a young grandma. Because I seem to enjoy many old fashioned things. Swing & big band music. Quilts (omg.) Casseroles. Home cooked meals. Staying at home. Bingo. Grocery Shopping. Garage Sales & Antique stores. Silent films. Waltzing. Taking naps. Anyways. I dread getting older by the second but thank god for these wonderful short legs. I get I look 7 years younger all the times. Its weird.

People assume I'm the same age, 16-18 even when Ive gotten older! Its like I'm stuck in this weird Twilight Zone.

Anyway. Extern is going great..and slow..and great..and slow... I really like it here. Minus one person who has been a tad rude but he probably just needs a nap!

Chew away.
