i think that i've finally settled in to this...new way of thinking? lifestyle? i dont even know what to call it. opportunity perhaps? not quite sure. all i know is that i am very confident in my choice, i know that i have made the right decision and i have no fear of what the future brings.
i have a new dream. i have meditated on some things and i think, no...i WILL pursue a nursing degree. i have checked the requirements for LCC online and between all the credits i've taken already, i would only be in school for a year +/- a term and i would be done. funding might be a problem but i can work around that. i think this would be a wise and advantageous move seeing as how i still have my dream of a psych degree and my hopes for a career in child development. i know that i wont have a problem finding a job after school is done because NO WHERE will you find a help wanted page void of any nursing positions. this can open doors for me later on and would always be something i could fall back on. plus, i'd make a damn fine nurse :)

May Horoscope
You have a great deal of positive career developments possible in May, and you might also settle a home-related matter, too. It looks like you have a lot on your plate, so you'll have to be organized to make sure you don't let important details slip through the cracks.
The full moon, May 9, will bring an unexpected breakthrough in regard to an impending move or other home-related plan. Your plans will fall into place quite rapidly with a lovely beam from Uranus. Saturn will also bring gifts of stability, so you'll have quite a good environment for making a decision or for finalizing a deal that makes you excited.
The new moon that appeared in late April started the ball rolling in your career, so you should continue following up on any career offers that surface. The only problem is that no deal is a good deal if your needs change later or if the job you are offered is about to change so much you hardly recognize it, making you feel trapped in a job you would have never taken. That seems likely if you sign on the dotted line now or give a verbal "yes" to the offer in May. Mercury will be retrograde from May 7 to 30, making May a bad time to sign a contract or accept a new job or assignment.
If you were working on a home-related project, it would be an equally bad time to sign a lease, buy a house or condo, or acquire new furniture, kitchen appliances, electronics like a computer or flat screen TV, or any other expensive items. If on the other hand, you already made your decisions and signed on the dotted line in April, this full moon would be a fine time to see the final implementation of that decision or commitment.
In matters of health, things should improve once Saturn goes direct on May 16. Saturn has been retrograde since December 31 of last year, so if you feel you've not made big strides lately, you may see a big improvement on or near this date. Actually, you may see a nice up tick in health on May 5 too, as the Sun, your ruler, will be in perfect angle to Saturn on that day. If you have been working on a fitness goal, you may also see an upbeat change on or near these dates this month as well.
Throughout May you will have ample opportunities to travel, and with Venus following Mars, it would be a divine time to take a vacation. Make it adventurous - a safari in Africa, white water rafting in Colorado, or exploring temples in India. This month, no location would be too far or too exotic to visit. If you can travel, go to a place you've never been, for you need the freshness of discovering something truly new. Look for bargain travel deals that will allow you to pack and go now, for you are likely to find one in May.
A truly soft influence will breeze in the window at month's end, thanks to the new moon May 24. From that point on, you will see that your friends are beginning to play a more prominent role in your life. They will take you to the kind of events that will help you meet more people, some of whom you'd like to cultivate as friends. You may decide to do volunteer work for a community, charity, or humanitarian cause in weeks and months ahead as a result of this new moon, and that would be one of the best ways to direct your energies in this incoming phase. The area of the chart where this new moon will fall is the eleventh house of groups, and also the part of the chart that helps us reveal compassion for others and to do something tangible to help them.
In your personal life, your romantic partner seems to truly understand the real you and will celebrate your individuality as well. You seem to be deeply inspired by your partner now, and if so, give in to this feeling and revel in it. You have the capability of enormous depth of feeling this month and in weeks and months to come. With Jupiter (happiness and good fortune) linking to Neptune (imagination), if you are not inspired by a romantic partner, then you may decide to do a creative collaboration that turns out to be quite wondrous and that would be given critical reviews that you used to only dream about.
You would have to work collaboratively to trigger this luck, so keep this in mind. One plus one equals twenty these days. Watch what happens on the first of three conjunctions in 2009, the first being May 27. The next two will occur July 10 and December 21. After that, these powerful planets will say adieu and not meet again until 2022. This is rare and special - make it work for you.
Dates to Note:
You can see a finish to an important home or family matter on May 9, plus or minus four days. Avoid making any big commitments, however, in writing or even verbally, or shopping for anything expensive, due to Mercury in retrograde: May 7 to 30 (operative longer, all month).
Your heath will show an upswing on May 5 but even more so after May 16, thanks to a stronger, more positive orbit of Saturn.
Consider taking an adventurous vacation to a place you've never been this month - Mars and Venus will cook up something amazing and memorable.
A sweet social influence will crank up on May 24 and bring you in contact with many new people. Some will become new friends, and those will lead you into fresh new places of the heart and mind.
On May 26, expect good news regarding travel, international relationships, publishing, broadcasting, or higher education.
Your personal or creative partner will add a great deal to your life all through 2009, but especially so near May 27 when Jupiter and Neptune make their first of three gorgeous, rare, and highly inspirational conjunctions. Watch what happens.
Your happiest days this month will be May 5, 9, 16, 21, 24, 26 and 27.

Fix you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBEYyHGbwto
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from the mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Fleet Foxes and more.
* Wednesday night I saw the Fleet Foxes live at the McDonald Theater and it was fucking awesome. Very cool, chill, awesome tunes were played and an enjoyable evening was had by all. I have this uncanny ability of winning shit all the time on the radio and this happened to be one of those winnings. I had seen the FF on SNL and was impressed with how well they played live so I downloaded some tunes and was even more impressed. Needless to say, I am fortunate to have gone and I'm REALLY feeling the need to make a trip to the Gorge this Labor Day and see the DMB. I NEED it. Would have gone last year but a very good friend was getting married that weekend so the trip was postponed. Plus, they are putting out a new album!
* The next tattoo(s) I will be getting is a treble clef behind my left ear and a bass clef behind my right. Still need to meditate a bit on the next session for the one on my back.
* I bought a new pair of running shoes ( :D ) and plan to start a new running and exercise regime for the next four months. The goal: increased stamina and a notable decrease in lap time. I'll be signing up for a 5k in May and then another one in August for comparison.
* My job is wearing on me. My two year review is coming up and its glaringly obvious to me that this job, at this pay, is NOT where I want to be and I'm itching for something more challenging and/or different. I really miss school and the satisfaction of getting closer and closer to realizing a dream of mine. Without it I feel as though I'm just treading water.
* I've realized that there are some people in this life who can be and are emotionally draining. Unfortunately, some of these same people have a close relationship with me, therefore escaping their encompassing negativity is not an option. I've learned how to deal with it and still maintain my emotional state but it takes work and after putting in a long week AT work AND at home, this kind of practice isnt appealing to me in the least.
* I have a theory on chemistry between people but it lacks sufficient scientific data.

Teh weekend...
After finishing off a very long day AND week, I was more than ready for a beer on Friday night. We (the boss and his wife, scott, estaban and his girl and another co-worker who is moving back to cali) went to 'our' bar, the strip club, Denny's (i feel for those late night waitresses) then our house. Sleep finally came at about 4:30am. I, thankfully, was allowed to sleep in and it was sorely needed and appreciated. Attended a BBQ on saturday that consisted of friends from high school, work and friends of friends. My friend (who is also my immediate boss) lives on the land that our OTHER friends' family owns so we had acres of land at our disposal when we took the ATV's out. That was needed. Theres something refreshing about flying over rutted roads on a 4-wheeler at dusk. That evening wasn't as long or nearly as adventurous as the previous and I was in bed at a decent hour.
Today was absolutely fucking beautiful. It was the first time I was able to sit outside and just soak up the sun. It was as if my skin was parched from the winter months and the sun quenched its thirst. IT FELT SO GOOD! I am more than ready for summer to be here.
I think I am going to sign up for a couple 5k's this summer. I want to get back to where I was physically before I got injured in 2006 and pregnant in '07. My goal is to be ready to commit to a half marathon by fall of next year. That means running, more running and lots more running!!! I'll need to invest in a good pair of shoes.
Even though the weekend was busy and full it was thoroughly enjoyed and definitely a must to ensure a nice relaxed beginning to another full week.

FRIDAY!
A twelve hour shift does NOT really appeal to me at this moment. I already dropped James off at the sitters and i'm sitting her cracking out on myspace, facebook, this and SL. Oh, and listening to music. ALWAYS listening to music. Sigh. I really have nothing to write other than today will be a GLORIOUS day because I said so, AND....AND!!!! I see sunshine!!!!!!! I'm so excited about the prospect of actual SUNLIGHT that I could literally piss myself.
Oh happy friday.
Oh happy friday.
