Goodbye

A few years ago, I considered myself a writer. I wrote in my journal to relax and unwind no matter what kind of day I had. I wanted to be a children's/teen writer and enjoyed creating characters and plots and I wrote short stories that I was proud to share with my friends. Those days are gone. Now writing in my journal seems like a chore. There is nothing relaxing about it. I put a lot of negative feelings out there about things I am feeling right now and in the past that would've been cathartic. It would've made me look back on my life and see that things aren't so bad after all. That's not the case this time. This time it made me feel worse. That being said, I think it is time to shut down this journal. It was fun while it lasted, but now I have to face facts. I am no longer a writer,

Wow!!!

WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! I have a new favorite author!! I just finished reading The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain and it was A-MAZE-ING!!!!!! It usually takes me a couple weeks to read a book because I am the world's slowest reader and my attention span is awful and I usually have to reread past chapters to figure out what is going on and what characters appeared when and all, but this one? I blew through it in 2 days!! I loved it that much! I can't wait to read more books by this author :)

Brunette

Growing up, I hated my dark brown hair. I thought a girl couldn't be pretty or get a handsome guy unless she was blond with blue eyes. Then a wonderful thing happened! Beauty & the Beast came out. This movie quickly became a favorite of mine, mainly because of its fabulous heroine named Belle. A girl with brown hair and brown eyes! Finally, a Disney princess I could relate to! (Also, she liked to READ with made me love her even more!!!) Yes, Belle is my favorite Disney character. (I'm not afraid to admit that if I ever have a daughter, she is going to be named after her.) She was the first (at least the first that I remember) brunette princess. After I saw that movie, I stopped wishing that I had been born with luscious locks the color of cornsilk.

Now, can you imagine how thrilled I am that Prince William picked a dark-haired beauty to be his princess? Makes me love my brown hair even more. And who says that blonds have more fun? I used to, but now, I'm pretty happy being a brunette.
