Day 264 - Suspended Animation

Hello lovelies.
Hope this post finds you well.
How is your 2012 going so far?
Mine is...okay.
I need to get out of here and get back to school.
Yet I also want to stay here forever.
I love my lazy days.
I have to pack tonight and tomorrow.
I start work again on Thursday morning, which means I move back tomorrow evening.
This is good, and bad.
Bad because I actually have to start doing things and worrying about stuff again.
Good because, well, I can be sneaky. ;)
I can get away with a lot more at school.
I really need to get back into shape.
I have the visions in my head of what I want to look like at goal swimming in my head.
Along with the inspiration from Lexi, Jenn, and Lia. ;)
Kudos if you can figure out what references I am making.
And God's guidance too.
I asked Him not to let me fall in love again unless it was with the guy He wanted me to be with forever.
I always had these preconceived notions of the guy I thought I would end up with.
I am learning, slowly, to let those notions go and to keep an open mind.
I know, eventually, the right one will come into my life.
As my mom says, when I least expect it.
Until then, my reinvention shall continue to commence.
For me, and no one else.
Make it happen.
Shock everyone.
Stay positive, stay beautiful. <3
