Life's so much easier when you're unafraid.

My Mom, Sister, and I just watched "Enchanted." It's a really cute movie that could get anyone to feel mushy :o). I cried, then laughed, then cried . . . then it ended I cried because it was a movie. I wanted to continue on being a Princess and meeting my Prince Charming . . . but alas, I must go back to Walgreens and National and having to brush my teeth every morning (which they don't picture) and having to clean and cook and sew without the help of friendly forest friends.

My life is great, though; I'm very happy about the direction I'm going. I could definitely compare myself to the Princess in this movie, because I'm optimistic about everything and everyone, and I belieeeeeeeeeeve in a thing called love, true love.

I've been looking for the Spin Doctors CD everywhere, but I can't find it. Barnes and Noble: nope. Target: nope. Wal*Mart: nope. I think I'm going to find it next to Springsteen, Bruce and Spears, Britney, but it hasn't been there at these places!

There are two princes in "Enchanted," and there's a song on "Pocket Full of Kryptonite" called "Two Princes." I love all of this, because it's very important in my life to FOLLOW MY HEART. Do I want a prince that will "buy me lockets" or "build me rockets" or a prince who . . . something superficial. I need to hear that song again, but it's been one of my favorites for . . . a very large portion of my life, perhaps ever.

Bleep bleep! Come along my friends.

Tonight upon arriving from school, I could see the moon again so bright, but it did not look as full as before. During break, I looked up when it was still light, about 6:53, and it looked completely full, but the view just now was less clear. Perhaps it's just that my eyes are tired of looking into headlights on the road, but it is peculiar. Then again, it looked pretty round. Is it full tonight? What do you think? I wonder if we will have a Blue Moon this month . . . probably not, because it's already the 19th. I don't know when my fixation with the sky started, but I suppose I'm just as interested in the ground. I wonder how many people noticed how dark reddish-blue the clouds were tonight over Palomar Airport past Encinas along the beach . . . and how many people saw the little blue blow-up boat on that lagoon under the 5.

Anyway, I swear there are skywriters in the sky right now. When I was trying to figure out if the moon was full or if it really was turning into a shape with two rounded sides and two flat ones (this is what I was seeing, perhaps hallucinating or visioning?), I saw the lights of a UFO (probably a jet, but I'm not sure, so I'll say that it's unidentified, because it is) and a stream of clouds (what is this, anyway? smoke? a special-release powder?) behind it. It looked to me like the aircraft was beginning to create the letter A with a slanted upward stroke, but instead of stopping to come back down, it went straight up into the moon. I had to remind myself that it was at a lower altitude than the moon, because it seemed to almost hit it, but then it came out on the other side. Maybe there is an unknown tunnel through the moon (like the freeway tunnels through mountains in Colorado). Either way, the stream of the beginning A-line went up over my head . . . I followed and followed and followed, but it seemed to be traveling away and not creating letters. If it is a skywriter or a group up there, someone must be rebelling against the rules of air font size.

Things to appreciate:

I left the house at 5:17 for class, and I usually leave by at least 4:59, if not sooner. Well, I usually make sure and get on the freeway by 4:59, and today I was on the freeway at . . . later than 5:17. Anyway, I was only 10 minutes late for class (or actually thirteen or fourteen), AND the teacher hadn't even started class yet! It's supposed to start at 5:30, and he started at maybe 5:47 or 5:46. This is too long, lol. To sum it up, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE LAAAATE, but I really wasn't at all, relatively.

I learned that I should do my homework sometime before the time I did it today (which was way too close to class time). Wait, haven't I learned this before? Procrastinator's Deja Vu . . . I could write a poem.

Two big bags went to the Goodwill today from my room. They were filled with: mostly shoes, a few t-shirts, and two charcoal grills. (I bought them on impulse buy at Walgreens; they were on clearance for a dollar or something close to that.) YAYAY.

Last night, I used a coupon for FREE HAIR COLOR which I received for being affiliated with the Walgreens Beauty Department. YAYAYAYAYAYAY. I'm excited. After this time dying, I should be back to my natural color and able to get the burgundy completely out. Somehow last time my roots ended up being dyed lighter than the rest of my hair. The hair color I got for free is the new Nice 'N' Easy Perfect 10, which has a COMB APPLICATOR, so I can easily comb in the color and shine to even out the different color patches in my hair. It also has six weekly shine treatments, and it's supposed to smell good. I know, that's a lot of information about one box of something, but after all, I am a salesperson for the stuff.

Oh, The Catalina Coupon printer printed me out a $5 off coupon! yayayayayay, it's a rare chance that an employee can get one . . . or maybe it's not, but it feels RARE AND SPECIAL.

My piano teacher told me that I have a nice touch when I was playing "Summer Mood" by Lynn Freeman Olson. It's such a pretty song! It also keeps the rain away, I'm supposing.

Gotta peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eternal optimism that comes so easily for me

The moon is almost full tonight. Everything can be seen glowing. the way the moon bounces off the tall palm trees at my house and the hood of my car (which is good on oil today)

conversations with Sam, who is really a cool guy

last night: watching Arlo Guthrie with Henry

a couple of days ago: being able to express my feelings to my Dad

feeling on good levels with all of my family :o)

listening to myself and celebrating my anniversary with me each day

yesterday: Sometimes, if I balance correctly on the wooden steps outside my door and bend over backward to look up at the blue, blue sky, I can almost feel the earth moving.

a harmonious workplace

sharing happiness and love

my necklace with the two glowing hearts from the Gem Faire

Tony Bennett singing to me, reminding me that the man for me will love me from Moment One . . . and always!

this morning: I finished a book, The Secrets of Attraction. It's a good one, and the Epilogue was fun to read because I agree with Sandra Anne Taylor's views on the interconnectedness of the world.

I love, you love, we love

An easy month of school that gives me more time to clean

Cleaning my room: Giving myself space to grow, and giving to others what will be treasure to them
