Jillian is TOO Fly...: February 2009

Little known facts (or the obvious!)

I'm a country girl at heart,
Living in the big city of Richmond...
I love having fun,
And I love my friends.
I've got horrible road rage and my palm is pretty much attached to the horn on my steering wheel.
And I love meeting new people.
I am Creative Director at a sign company in Richmond,
and I've got a degree in Art and another in Biblical Studies.
I've got a lot of ^dreams and
I add more to my list everyday.I have a "Things to Do Before I Turn 25" list...a "Bucket List" if you will...
I've been told my dry sarcasm is endearing.
I FAITHFULLY spend every Monday night on my couch watching Dancing With The Stars.
I have an unusual obsession with Flavor Flav.
My sister and I ROCK some very unique dance moves on a daily basis...including "Magic Legs", "Kitchenaid Mixer", and "The Hernia"...
My friends mean the ^WORLD to me...You know who you are.
I despise Obama (although I've got a level of respect for him now that he's the Prez...) and the Jonas Brothers,
I'm disappointed in Tony Romo for his dating choices.
And I love peanut butter. :)
Anything else, just ask.
Oh yeah, and the Steelers SUCK.

“There is something different about people from the coast of Carolina.
Its like we are our own race.
We love things people that
arent from here hate, like the salty water, the pluff mud, the sting of a
sunburn, the sand.
Our day starts with gassing the boat, loading the cooler
with beer and heading for the water.
We never see the sunrise but we watch it
set from the harbor.
Our blood is a mixture of salt water and sweet tea
We
love a good time, we love classic rock and Jimmy Buffett.
We wear flip flops,
even when its 40* outside.
We live for shorts, tshirts, and that pair of
costa’s around our neck.
We work hard all week, but we play that much harder
on the weekends.
We are devoted to our friends, the water, porches, and
music.
See thats the thing I have learned about being from the coast…
I
could never guess where life will take me, but I will never forget where I came
from..."

Oh, the days...

It has been a while since my last post...trying to get my thoughts in order I suppose...

This past week has been a doozy. I rather enjoyed myself Sunday night when the Steelers brought it home... However, my mind was going a million miles an hour and the only thing that could stop it for but a few minutes was the sound of the crowd cheering. Even then my mind was going in slow motion over those things.

What to do? How to do it? Can't seem to find the words to say. Monday came and went. Late Monday evening was spent at Capital Ale House with Sarah...decked out head to toe in black and white clothing... We were finally done work and decided to spill our "issues" over a giant cheeseburger, fries, and some saurkraut & pretzel sandwich. For a few minutes I thought I could escape life as I knew it. I was wrong... my phone and hers continued to vibrate...some were texts I was very glad to receive. Others, just kind of reminded me of the drama I had been brought into. I've got enough going on in my life to have to counsel others through theres. Needless to say, I love you Sarah :)

Tuesday was rather rough as well. Followed by Wednesday...and today, as much as I've encountered of it so far. I can only hope that things turn out the way I would like for them to. Until that day, when and if it comes, I'll continue to take it ONE day at a time...and try and make the best of every situation.
