It's Fall Time!
So, I'm terrible at keeping up with this thing. I know this, & believe it or not I think about how I need to be better about posting on a regular basis. I've just been busy! Here are some recent events in my not-so-eventful life...
I'm lucky enough to be watching sweet baby Emma Kate 2-3 times a week! 7am-6pm is a long day so I really feel miss tiny & I have bonded quite a bit! I miss her right after I leave for the day. She is the easiest baby to take care of & the easiest baby to fall in love with! I have so many sweet pictures, but I'll spare you. Ok, ok, I won't really.. These two just have to be shown!!
Sleepy little girl!
How freaking PRECi0US is this?!? How can you not just fall in love immediately?! I see it & my heart just explodes with happiness & love! How corny, right? I can't help it!

I can't help it!Anyway, she's just the greatest & I can't get enough of her. I'm sure anyone reading this has had enough. So now I'll spare you.
I feel like I've been working all the time lately. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely paying off, & I enjoy being busy (I'm a little weird that way,) but part of me wishes I didn't have to hustle so much. I'm not in school this semester though (too pricey at the moment) so I feel like I should at least stay busy working. If I'm not going to bust my tail at school I should be doing some equally as useful... Enter, work! Serving at Cheddar's & business is slowly picking up, but not enough. So I've finagled my way into being the 'Beer Girl' at the Red Mile (local race track) every Thursday night when they have their $1 drafts. I'm not paid hourly & I guess not technically an employee because of that fact, but I get to keep all my tips. It's a nice change of pace & incredibly easy work when I compare it to serving. & I'm making better money, so I would be crazy not to do it every week. Tonight is 'Greek Night' so hopefully there will be a huge crowd of great tippers! The Grand Circuit is starting next week & I'll be working that while that's going on. Should be huge crowds each day & better money than Thursday nights alone. As I mentioned before, watching EK 2-3 times a week, which is such a treat I would do it for free! Go up to a poker room once a week & give massages for tips, which I still have mixed feelings about, but the money is so great I can't help but go back every week. So that's that! Oh, & subbing has been useless as I haven't gotten any calls to substitute teach at any of the schools in Fayette Co. so I've got to do something in the meantime!
Can I just take a minute though & say how excited I am for Fall? My favorite seasons have always been those 'in-between' seasons. Ya know, Spring & Fall. Spring is great because it's such a welcome change from a long & dreary winter & Fall is a refreshing relief from a long & hot summer!! I really love it because it calls for lots of wardrobe updating which means shopping! Just went shopping yesterday & got 2 new sweaters! They're cozy & great :) Next I'm on a mission to find some great brown boots. I don't know why, but I'm incredibly picky about boots (& jeans.) The right boot for me has to have a high heel, a pointed toe, & go all the way up the leg.. Not stopping at the ankle like some. I just think they make my legs look short when they stop at the ankle. I'm not opposed to some buckle-y hardware but I haaaate hate hate studded nonsense all over my boots. I don't know why but I just think it's hideous. I have a great pair of black boots that I bust out every winter, but I kind of think it's time for a new pair of those as well. All depends on what I can find! & you better believe I don't mind looking ;)
My other favorite part about Fall? Keeneland's Fall Meet! It's when everyone comes out in their finest fall attire & drinks cocktails to keep warm & bets on the ponies to.... Well, hm, get rich? I've never been much of a better, since I can never remember any professional tips people give me on picking winning horses, but I'm great at the cocktail part. So that's all that matters. Plus, I love getting dressed up! I make it a point to go opening day every year, both for the Spring & Fall meets. I love it. LOOOVE it! Can't wait to go tomorrow! Hopefully I'll be back in touch shortly after & post some pictures!
That's really all I can think of at the moment that's remotely new. Other than the fact that I'm looking forward to Christmas & I'm ready to get through Halloween & Thanksgiving already. How boring is my life? I know, I probably shouldn't even have a blog. I rarely have anything very interesting going on. Buuuut it makes me feel good to get things out of my head & written down. No matter how uneventful those things in my head may be. I feel like I have much deeper things to write about, but they weigh so heavily on me that just thinking about sitting down to write about them seems like a daunting task. Maybe it would help if I put them in list-form & encourage me to get to them eventually. & maybe it will redeem such a boring blog if I give evidence of more interesting things to come.
Ohhh well, that's why I even started this blog. To use it as a form of therapy. I guess it's time to power through it & at least get some of it out & written down. But I'll worry about that another day. It's beautiful outside & I want to get out & enjoy it!

So!
1. My unemployed mother (& that whole back story.)
2. My deadbeat & absent father. & maybe a little bit about my stepmother who called me out of the blue this summer. Believe me, you don't want to miss that one.

3. My sweet little grandparents. That one is the hardest by far because the back story & current story is so recent & painful for me. They're still alive, it's nothing like that, but it brings me so much sadness when I really think about it. The only way I've learned to cope is to keep it from coming to the forefront of my mind. If I let it come forward, all I would do is cry.
& now that I think about it, the first 2 items are pretty much the same way for me.
