Man I can't believe it, finals are here again!!! How time flies by when you are stressed, work a full time job, and are a college student. I can't believe I am about to finish my third term. It seems like yesterday I was logging into class for the first time.
I am having issues trying to get my final paper finished. I tried so hard to not make too many commitments this week, but yet again I have been trapped. I also am having issues focusing on it. Oh well I guess it is what it is. I will finish it before Tuesday ... maybe I need the sun to stand still like in the book of Joshua. Wish me luck

My continued journey to find my happy quiet place!
So in my present life journey I have been having a hard time finding my so called "quiet happy place". For those of you who do not know (which is probably everyone who is reading this) I currently rent a room from my mother. My older sister and her family live there to due to the economy. Needless to say the house is not the quiet peaceful place it once was. So I have been on a quest of sorts. 1 is to find a better job so I can move far far away (my Jenny from Forrest Gump prayer :p). 2nd in the meantime is to try to find happiness and peace in my chaotic environment. So since I cannot consume a cupcake every time I am stressed, I have decided to try Yoga.
My eldest sister has been telling me to try it for some time; she says in her ever too happy enthusiastic voice "Maggie, you should try Power Yoga! It's great, I love it; it will get your frustrations out!" Somehow the words Power & Yoga just don't seem like they should go together to me. It just sounds like torture to me!So instead last weekend when I had a mental meltdown, and raced to the mall for my gourmet S'mores cupcake I stopped into the local Barnes & Noble and purchased a 15 minute Yoga beginner's book w/DVD. I brought it home patting myself on the back with a new invigorated feeling of I can do this, this will get me back into shape, and I will become more flexible to boot. The book sat in the bag for a week! Sunday evening I finally decided to try it. I went over the exercises in the book, and then put the DVD on. ALL I have to say is OMG, I am so totally out of shape! Full bow position, downward dog there aint no way my body is doing those without screaming out saying "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? WE LIKE BEING LAZY, IT WORKS FOR US, HAS FOR YEARS. HUH, YOU WANT US TO WORK, WE'LL SHOW YOU!" They sure did, I woke up Monday morning and was like wow! My muscles in my back and hamstrings were so sore! Seriously, I mean it was just stretching, right?
I decided I was not going to let my lazy muscles win! Instead when I got home from sitting on my butt all day yesterday, i was going to take all 3 dogs for a walk, and then do more Yoga. It has started getting humid here in hell oh I mean Central FL, so 1/2 a mile later I was sweating when I arrived back home. I decided I was going to do 2 sets of 15 minute Yoga routines, and I did. I managed to do the evening energizing routine, and the strengthening routine.It did not hurt as bad this time until last night. Oh the agony of sore muscles! I vow today that once I get into the routine of exercising everyday, I will never be this lazy again! Oh, and my sister bumped her head telling me I should try Power Yoga! If this is killing me could you imagine Power Yoga? I mean the thought just makes me shudder!

UUGGHH... I NEED A CUPCAKE!!!!
I so need a cupcake fix!!! If you have not figured it out yet I am a complete sweet alcoholic especially when it comes to cupcakes! I am an addict, if there was a cupcakes anonymous I would definitely have to become a member. Any ways the reason I need a cupcake is I am so mad at myself! I turned in the wrong file for my first draft. I submitted an outline to the instructor, and the discussion board instead of my paper. I need to find my happy place, and right now that lies within a CUPCAKE!

Easter weekend
Today is Saturday and I have so much to do. My trip to MD, really put me behind I was not feeling very well so it was hard for me mentally to do school work. So this weekend I must sit inside on a beautiful spring day,and cram. I am already behind since I attended an Easter play last night. It was a very moving and powerful play the drama team in my church performed. On a side note though I am really glad I did not participate in this one. The play was called Alive Again, and it was more about the resurrection of life one has after being saved. It started with Lazarus' death, and resurrection, and then jumped to Jesus' crucifixion.There were dancers, and a mime routine.It was very moving. They also performed the song Alive Again by Matt Maher. After the past two weeks I had it really touched me, and I am glad I went.
I do have to say though MD was gorgeous! I really miss the changing of the seasons. Here in FL we have two seasons the hotter than hell rainy season, or the drier hot season. All the Cherry Blossom trees and daffodils were blooming. When I see little things like that I remember how beautiful this world really is.
