A baby step

Yesterday afternoon, I purchased a case (10) of 12" x 12" canvas so I can start painting.  It's my first step in reigniting my creativity.  I'm very excited and cannot wait to get started.  They will arrive at Meininger Art Supply on Broadway in Denver (http://www.meininger.com/) on July 15th.  If I get around to it before, I'll go buy some basic supplies:  brushes, paint, etc.  If not, I'll just pick up some stuff when I get my canvas.

SO EXCITED!!!

Bucket List

I'll be able to check one item off my bucket list as of July 23, 2010.  On that day, I'll be volunteering to help build a Habitat for Humanity house in Denver with some friends from Denver Health.  I'm super stoked!!!

I am

I've fallen into a funk again.  I'm so bored with every aspect of my life, I could just SCREAM!  Instead of scaring everyone and possibly beckoning the police to my door, I've shed a few tears and am contemplating something...anything that will shake me out of my rut.  I even looked into couch surfing across the country in search of my promised land.  I didn't seriously entertain that thought, but it was an interesting escape.

I'm re-evaluating my job, college, Denver...EVERYTHING!  Although I work in the Emergency Department, I still shuffle papers every night.  Not rewarding in the least and it's excruciatingly boring.  The thought of taking classes for 4+ years just to be confined to a different cubicle is driving me mad.  And what if I end up not liking it?  Then what?!?  I'll have wasted a lot of time and a lot of money and be right back to this square.  FML!!!

I'm not meant to be boxed in.  I'm not meant to work for someone else.  I need to be creative and I need to be my own boss.  I don't want to have to be at work at a certain time, put in this many hours and leave at that time.  If I want to screw off and go to the mountains for a couple of days, I don't want to have to ask anybody except the people I want to go with me.

That being said, I'm going to go soak in a bath and contemplate my next move.  I hope to emerge with a clearer mind and a game plan.

College daze

I have applied for and been accepted to Metro State for Fall 2010.  It's been several years since I've been in school and I forgot all the crap that goes along with getting your foot in the door!  I've filled out my FAFSA and COF.  I've requested my transcripts from PA and NY.  I have to prove I'm up-to-date on my immunizations, complete assessment tests, submit a few more forms, register for classes, go buy my student ID, books, etc and then find time to do homework.  What the hell did I get myself into?!?!?

I'm sure it'll all fall into place about a week after classes start and I acclimate to my new schedule.  I'm really excited to start and wish this freakin paperwork was already completed.  That being said, I'm going to complete more today.  I'm my own Genie!

Other than that, not much new.  I applied for a CSS IV position at the hospital; waiting to hear yay or nay on that.  It'd be nice to have a set daytime schedule so I can accommodate my night class schedule easier.  There should also be more money involved.

I've started hearing from him again.  It appears his "uncle" or grandfather summoned him out of town for a while.  It's really nice to have communications with him, but I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up until there's something to get them up about (insert snarky comment here).

I guess that's all for now.  I was reminded (not so gently with an "air stab") that I needed to update my two readers about how lame I am.  Here you go, Anxiety Girl!!!
