Yeah I said it.

Oh what a week.

I had a presentation with my group this week. We had to create our own community-based program. We decided to do one that focuses on teen pregnancy and the infant mortality rate in Memphis, TN.

So we chose who would be in our groups and I went out on a huge limb...meaning I chose people outside of my usual group. It turned out we were the underdog group. lol. We were 4 girls who have never really taken up a leader role. People even told me they felt bad that all of us were in a group together. Who says that? So we had a lot to prove. There was some difficulty at first and we went through a storming phase. It was crazy for a little bit, but we got ourselves together and got the job done. At the end of our presentation our teacher complimented us on our efforts and said out of the 6 groups that presented we were the best. Seriously, my mouth dropped open.

I once said that I would never again get out of my comfort zone. This was a time when I thought we were going to fail miserably. Now I am saying I am so glad I did. I am proud of us. Very proud.

Always keep your wishful thinking and NEVER stay in your comfort zone. Even if you fail, it is better to take a risk than wonder what could have been. You also take more pride in your success because you truly deserve it and worked hard to earn it.

That's all I have to say about that.

Tornado season has begun.

And they better stay the hell away from me.

So...

Can someone please help me pick out a dress for a wedding I am attending on March 27.

And a dress to wear for Joanna's rehearsal dinner. And some shoes for the bridesmaid dress.

Help!

Thanks.

Cold, but getting warmer.

I am so ready for Spring.

Goals.

I want to run a 5k and not stop.
I want to lose 15 lbs.
I want to go to the beach with a bunch of friends.
I want to cook dinner with my boyfriend. I don't care what it is. As long as he is there.
I want to go on a double date.
I want to start quilling or crocheting.
I want to make my own garden with flowers everywhere.
I want to learn how to play the piano and learn Beatles songs my mom used to play.

Monday. Woo.

This morning wasn't too bad. I got a compliment from a complete stranger about being good looking. lol.

I did a presentation that I was WAY too nervous about. I mean...really. It was 10 minutes. I didn't freak out over a horrible presentation that was an hour long as much as I did today. I even had...you guessed it...a panic attack. Right there in the middle of class AFTER I finished presenting. How dumb. I need to do Yoga or start breathing exercises.

Stephen got an internship and I am proud of him. I wish I could give him a hug.

I am going to go make some peanut butter and hugs cookies. I will send you some Joanners...maybe. Along with the RSVP for your big day.

Later.
