Not really sure why this week is dragging on into oblivion but I have been wishing for Friday since about Tuesday night. Not a good start to the week.
I have been trying to be a good girl this week - getting enough sleep, walking in the evenings, eating better. So why am I just as whipped as I usually am on a Thursday evening? I don't get it.
Last night I went to go see "Beauty and the Beast" at the Muny (for those non-St. Louisans, this is the "municipal opera" where they put on about 6 or 7 musicals starting in late June through August). Let's suffice to say that it was hot last night. Plus, there were a zillion cars parked in every available space in Forest Park so we had to drive around for 20+ minutes to luck out and actually get a space that wasn't a mile away...I'm not complaining - it was lovely.
Hard to believe that it's time for the Muny already - how did it get to be late June? This means that my summer is about to take off full steam ahead (no pun intended) and I'll be pretty busy.
Nothing much more exciting to say for today. I'm starting to post my old journals from the website on here - so look to those for anything of substance for the time being! ;)

The Killers in the 'Lou
“While I ignore that we’ve both felt like this before, it starts to show…And if the answer is no, can I change your mind?” The Killers
I'm really upset that the Killers concert in STL is still sold out. Didn't any of those people who had tickets for the original show date have anything to do on the night they rescheduled? I'm bitter.
So, as you can all tell, A) It's been forever since I wrote my last entry and B) I haven't really told anyone that I started doing this. But my goal is to get the word out very soon so someone is actually reading my random posts.
June got off to a bumpy start for me, folks. More angst than I typically prefer - but I'm getting over it. And I feel like I've learned more about myself in the process...relationship garbage is not necessarily fun, but I suppose it's neccesary. I have decided that it is the summer of Cara - it's all about me from now on, folks.
I'm working on another big grown-up step for my life - I am trying to buy a house. Of course, with my luck nothing is never easy or cut and dry, so it's taking a while to get there. And I may still have to walk away from the deal if all doesn't get ironed out pretty soon. But it is kind of exciting. And completely terrifying.
Other than that...life is pretty much normal. It's starting to feel like summer in St. Louis. Happy Solstice Day! (anyone remember Soulstice? You girls rocked.) I'll try to be better about the blogging, so check up on me and yell if I am totally delinquent.

Yes, I am a Journal Committment-Phobe
“You can take me down, you can show me your home…not the place where you live but the place where you belong” --Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket)
About a year or so ago I was doing really well at sending my thoughts out into the vast unknown via my own website but for some reason got out of the habit. It probably has something to do with the fact that I have journaling commitment issues. I would always start a journal growing up and months would pass between entries. I always try again, but know it’s just who I am.
My friend Elizabeth is my journal hero – she has always been great about keeping up with one. So, thanks to her good influence on me and also to Jackie who reminded me that blogger is out there, I am starting my own little corner again. Once I get into this, I will work on trying to add my older journals from the website
Honestly, my head has been so full the last few weeks that I am not sure where to start. Sometimes I look at my life and just wonder “how did I get here?” I guess that it’s just from walking down the road – one foot then the next… It hurts sometimes. Other times the travels are filled with joy and laughter. The way I see it, that is how it’s supposed to be. We could never appreciate the good times if they weren’t tempered by the not-so-good (ok, the downright cry-your-eyes-out horrible times as well).
Thank God for my foundation. I am not as strong as I look, but I am stronger than I feel. I take comfort in other people’s faith in me. In the faith I hold on to daily. I have enough to keep me sane and desire more to keep me moving in the right direction. Be blessed.
