Hello, Hello. And Hello.
So, two blogs two nights in a row? I'm seriously blogging back to back?
Yup. 'Tis true. Because........
*long dramatic drum roll*
I'm BORED!!! I've had a rather exhausting, albeit good, productive day and I am so super tired it's not even funny. Since I had my gall bladder surgery a week and a half ago, I've been doing really well (majority of my recovery was the week of, so now I'm getting around really good. I'm still not supposed to lift anything heavier than 10 lbs. for the next 4 and a half weeks, though.) but I get really tired easily. Usually by the end of the day, I'm drained. Unfortunately, choir makes me really tired too. It's a bummer, but it's the truth. It's only because I'm not quite up to 100% yet, though.
I'm super super proud of myself today, though, on the subject of singing! My private voice lesson went super super well today and was very productive! My technique is improving and I sound GREAT. I found my head voice today, and I think I also found my confidence somewhere in the shuffle as well.
I'm also looking forward to being fully recovered from surgery and finished with this semester so that I can take the summer and focus on getting more active. Josh and I are getting our dog, a Great Pyrenees named Tundra, very soon and he will need walked every day. I'm looking forward to all the great exercise I'll be getting when I take Tundra for walks around the neighborhood this summer, providing that he doesn't walk ME instead. Now that my big health issue is over with (a non-functioning gall bladder), I can get back to my goal of losing weight. I know this sounds horrible, but I found some pictures of myself when I was in high school and forgot how tiny I was! I'm positive that with the right motivation and the right plan, I can get back to a healthier weight. My physical and mental well being have been neglected for far too long. Plus the weather here has gotten absolutely gorgeous, and I'm getting cabin fever pretty bad. The beautiful Kansas outdoors are calling my name. I'm especially dying to get to the lake. I didn't get to go last summer, and I want to spend more time out there this summer. Of course, I keep saying that every year and when I do get to go, it's only once. I'll just have to hold myself to that affirmation.
On that note, I don't seem to be perking up anytime soon, so I suppose I should probably close this down and either crash for the evening, or try and do something productive with my time (besides this blog! I haven't exactly harassed Josh at all today, so that will give me something to do! I have to pay him back for hacking my Twitter account!).
Later.

Thankful
Yes, I am feeling sentimental.
Yes, this is going to be a sappy, possibly soul-baring post tonight.
This is not a bad thing though. I have a lot to be thankful for.
It's been a rough time as of late, but rather than dwell on the negative, I've decided to count my blessings. After all, negativity gets nowhere. I've been in dire need of self-affirmation. It gives me a boost to go in the right direction and makes me feel about 100 times better about myself.
I've always felt that I've needed to prove myself worthy of others' time, and that I am growing as a person. I hate making mistakes and I sometimes feel like I come off as annoying and creepy, and that others won't like me. However, I have to constantly remind myself:
1) I am worthy of the attention of others. If people do not like me, then that's their loss. I don't have to call them out on why they don't like me or might have beef with me. I just accept it, and move on. I don't have time for petty disagreements with someone I will never see eye to eye with.
2) I have awesome friends who love me for me, and constantly remind me that I am NOT annoying and creepy.
3) By accepting these things, and making sure that I look to the path before me rather than what I've left behind me, then I truly AM growing as a person.
My confidence in my musical talent has been blossoming too. Not only that, but also my confidence in my teaching ability. I am in my second year of teaching piano lessons, and in those two years I have had several students come and go. I'm really pleased that I have a few students that have really turned out well. I couldn't be any prouder of them. It makes me feel good that I'm doing a great job of sharing my love of music with others.
As I said before, I feel that I have a lot to be thankful for. I know I've mentioned this already in previous posts, but it's the truth. Tonight I just feel like being a little more specific.
Like my husband, Josh. He is THE best thing that has ever happened to me. I know that a lot of girls brag about having the best husband in the world, but for me, it's not just bragging. It is stating a fact. I have put him through so much in the 6 years we've been together, and he is still right there with me. He's stood by me through the good and the bad, supported my decision to quit my job to go back to school full time and fulfill my dream of becoming a music teacher. He also saved my life.
I don't talk about my personal struggles much, especially my longtime fight with depression. It's just something I've dealt with since I was 9, and I don't normally talk about it because I don't want the sympathy. With 2 years of therapy, I've been getting more comfortable with talking about it but I still feel awkward sometimes. However, if it had gotten the best of me 2 years ago, it's pretty likely that I wouldn't be here typing this blog. Lucky for me I had Josh, who happened to walk in at the right time and catch me in the act before I could do anything damaging to myself.
My friends... I've pretty much had the same circle of friends since I was in high school, but I have friends from all walks of life that I have made over the past several years. I might not always be able to relate with them, but that's not how I base my friendships. I don't base them off of how often I keep in contact or hang out with them. That's not what matters to me. What does matter to me is that they care about me, and know that even though I tend to fall off of the radar, I don't ever stop caring about them. I've been pretty lucky to have great friends for a long span of time, and that's something I'm thankful for.
Things haven't been the easiest for my family, but I don't ever stop caring about them either. My dad and I both act a lot alike, and we tend to butt heads. I don't talk to my siblings much because our lives and families get in the way. I miss my mom like crazy and often feel lost because she was always the one I turned to in triumph and in hardship, and it has been so hard for me to adjust to the fact that I can't call her up and vent to her on a bad day or bust through her front door in excitement because of some grand accomplishment I achieved or to share any great news I found out. But, with hardship comes strength. As a family, we're still standing. That's all that truly matters.
Music.... listening to it, playing it, doesn't matter. It's my biggest love next to Josh and it's all I've ever wanted to do for a livelihood since I was 8. I'm just thankful for the huge role it plays in my life and that I will get to make a career out of teaching it to others. It's a reward for the heart. Oh, and it helps to keep what little bit of sanity I have intact too.
In the last few months, I feel I've kind of strayed from my spiritual path, but thankfully, I do not have a religion that chastises me for my flaws in that respect. I'm only human! I am trying to regain my footing though, and it makes me feel better. It's best to be honest with oneself.
So that is the post for tonight. May you all find yourselves a little more fulfilled as your stories unfold before you. I know I'm looking forward to all of the good things that are in store for me in the future as I write my story in the book of life. :)
Peace, love and light. :)

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! (Insert holiday greeting here)! (Take your pick!!!)
It's almost Christmas! Woot!
I'm typing a new blog post! Awesomesaucetown!
It's been 3 months since the last blog! Uhhh.......???
So apparently, blogging has become a once-every-three-month thing for me. Not because I'm just not *that* into blogging anymore (I still love it!) or I'm a total lamesauce loser with no life therefore giving me nothing exciting to write about... the fact is, I'd been busy with classes. Which made me a busy lamesauce loser with nothing exciting to write about, unless you wanted to know about music theory, the various humanities, or different sociological principles and theories. Which for someone not interested, is- yep, you guessed it- not that exciting.
However, now, I'm on Christmas break. I'm alllllmost ready, too. Unfortunately, my bad habit of late Christmas shopping is really coming back on me in a bad way: I still have some shopping left to do later today and even still, I'm not done yet. So some people will be getting their Christmas late.
I swear on my life, my mother's grave, and my musical talent that I will open a Christmas Club account at the bank after the first of the year and actually do my Christmas shopping EARLY. And by early, I mean that I'm not going to put it off until the week before Christmas!!!
With the new year, comes new beginnings. I have 2 new piano students starting the Tuesday after New Year's, which is pret-ty darn exciting. I get to graduate from LCC in May. Even more exciting stuff! Next year is going to be a year of changes, and I'm looking forward to it.
Oh, and before anyone asks, NO, I do NOT think the world is going to end next December. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.
So on that note, I'm going to end this session of my rants, raves, and randomness (If there weren't any, then my blog title would be considered false advertising!)
Merry Christmas, Blessed Solstice, Happy Holidays, whatever you celebrate, make it great, make it count, and have a wonderful one. :)

Oi.
It's been a long few months.
Classes started up last month, and are going well. It's nice to have structure in my life again. I will probably get a job this summer to pass the time, and when I start classes at Pitt State next fall, I will only work weekends. However, I'm focusing on the here and now. Get through this fall and this spring. Do all that I can and enjoy it. So far, so good. I'm able to stay on top of things and I'm really liking this semester so far.
Family drama.... urg.... I will say no more. I don't like to talk about it and I'm damn sure not going to dwell on it either. This too shall pass. However, things are going rather nicely between my husband and I. We're doing our best to keep our heads above water and that's what counts.
My poor cat Prudence was sick last month. He had some real bad kidney blockage, and we had to make an emergency run to the vet to get him treated. He was in a lot of pain, could barely walk, wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink, picked fights with the other animals for no reason, etc. So we had to give him antibiotics twice a day and switch his and Sadie's food to help him get better. Now he is jumping up on things again, taking care of his bodily functions, and back to his lazy, contented, constantly hungry self. My one worry is that his mobility is still a little shaky (he still limps and has a bit of trouble with his hind legs) but I'm hoping that will clear up in time.
My life right now consists of taking care of the house and homework. That's not exactly exciting, but I get things done. Except for choir. Choir is always an exciting joy to me. It's my life. :)
So there. That's the last 3 months of my life in a nutshell. Again, nothing too exciting, but maybe that will change here soon.
Love & Light.

Sick Day
Yes, I am sitting here typing to let you lovely people know that I am sick today. Why? Because there's no law saying I can't.
I have this wonderful, lovely cold, and the wonderful, lovely doctor put me on some wonderful, lovely strong cough syrup to help k.o. the cold. It was bad enough I had to cancel my piano lesson this morning. So I'm sitting here listening to IndieFeed podcasts on iTunes, reading Questionable Content, and waiting for the Phenergan to put me to sleep in the next hour or so while I'm sipping on some Sprite for fluids. But at the same time, I'm hoping it doesn't. Josh gets off work late tonight and I'm having a serious cookie craving (they started mentioning cookies in some of the QC comics I've been reading and now I'm fiending for some chewy Chips Ahoys). I've been laid up in bed all day. I need cookies like I need a hole in the head, but hey, it's all good. I'm also hoping that I'm feeling a lot better tomorrow. My best friend might be in town and we had plans to do lunch.
Anyhum, since the brain fog isn't going to clear anytime soon, I am going to close this down. Send some healing vibes my way so I can start feeling better. :)

Learning to Live
Sometimes I sit and think
And it gets me into trouble.
Not with others, just myself
Because I can't handle the weight of my thoughts.
Sometimes I lay down and cry
And languish over dead-end love.
I just want to learn to heal
But sometimes it seems to be too much.
One day I'll learn to be stronger
Become a better person
And someday I'll learn to deal.
Win this war against myself.
Maybe my life isn't so bad.
It could always be much worse.
I just don't have the right grip
To hold on to all the right things.
So I love within my ability
Because I know it's there
It reminds me of who I am
And lets me know that I have to enjoy the ride.
Yup, I'm in one of those moods. Been in one of those moods. I wrote that poem in April of last year, but it still seems pretty fitting for right now (and by the way, "Learning to Live" is the name of the poem). It seems that last few weeks have been pretty hard. But, as they say, this too shall pass.
Actually, the last 8 months have been the hardest. Especially around Mother's Day. It was my first mother's day without my mom. I told my husband that I would have much rather been able to go out and buy her a CD or a cute knick-knack for the house all packaged up in a cute gift bag as opposed to having to make a visit to the cemetery, but just because she's not here in the physical sense anymore doesn't mean I have to slack on tradition.
Since I'm off from school for the summer, I've had a lot of time to do some reflecting on my life. Granted, 24 years isn't really a lot to reflect on, but it's been quite an eventful 24 years.
I dream a bit too big, I set my goals way too high and I beat myself up when things aren't perfect. I think that's why my confidence is shot where my musical talents are concerned. That and I'm the only musician in my household, and I have to sneak in practice time whenever the opportunity arises, which isn't as often as I'd like. It makes me feel awful, because here I am, getting a piano studio off the ground, preaching to my students the importance of practicing when I barely get a chance to.
When I was little, I wanted to be famous. I wanted everyone to love me. Part of me still wants that. I guess I'm just an attention whore by nature, haha. I've always been a showoff and had a bit of an ego (which I have reason to believe is because I'm a Soprano. I've heard we Sopranos can get pretty inflated!). Now I'm a little more grounded though. At least we would all hope so, right? Riiiight? ;)
The point of this, is for one, a venting session for me. A chance for me to type this out, look at it, and think "Okay, it's not so bad now. Back to real life." Second off, my inflated ego was causing me to totally jump at the chance to post one of my poems. (Not really. I posted it because it's how I'm feeling. And it's a Megan original, so all the better!) Third and finally, it was a way of starting to put things back into perspective. I've got a pretty good thing going. I have a wonderful husband and two spoiled rotten cats who love me very much, a close-knit family and amazing friends who are loyal and there for me every step of the way, faith to help keep me strong (I'm a solitary eclectic Wiccan), a strong passion for music which I'm sure will take me far in life... if I can just get over that nasty little bump of self-degradation (My main goal I have set for this next semester of school: Get my groove back.). So what if I never get to achieve the bigger goals I've set for myself (i.e. having a poetry book published, meeting my favorite band, traveling to England... very unrealistic for me, considering the fact that I'm a housewife in BFE Kansas who will probably never afford a trip like that, haha.)? Now that I think of it, it does make a pretty cool bucket list though. We'll just have to see how things pan out. It's not over yet!!!
Well, now that I've gotten that all out of the way, I actually feel a lot better now. I'm hoping that in the future, my posts won't revert back to the "I'm having a hard time" type of deal. Maybe I'll find some interesting topics to write about. Either way, this is going to be pretty enjoyable for me to write, and I hope each and every one of you who reads this finds it enjoable to read. I should thank you for taking the time to read my little vent-fest though.
Peace, and Love and Light :)

Maybe I'll find some interesting topics to write about. Either way, this is going to be pretty enjoyable for me to write, and I hope each and every one of you who reads this finds it enjoable to read. I should thank you for taking the time to read my little vent-fest though.
Peace, and Love and Light :)

It's Been a Loooooong Time....
Wow. I'm sitting here typing a blog. This is something I haven't done in about 3 years. Back in the day when I kept a blog, Xanga was popular and I had an active Myspace blog as well. Of course, trends change, fads come and go, and so now it's time to adapt!
Here's a little bit about me: I'm not famous. Obviously. I'm a housewife in my mid-20's living in a small town in Southeast Kansas/degenerate college student. (I say degenerate to be funny. Keep reading, I do a lot of stuff for the comical factor! I'm pretty sarcastic by nature but it's not meant in offense. So now that that disclaimer is out of the way...) Next May I'll be graduating with my Associate's Degree in Music, and then from there transferring to earn my Bachelor's in Music Education. So with that said, I'm an amateur musician with enough confidence to probably barely cover the pad of my left pinky, and I teach piano lessons. I'm just the ordinary girl next door married to a pizza delivery driver.
So why does someone like me have a blog? Easy. It's a place for me to spout off on all sorts of topics, hence the rants, raves, and randomness. Whether it's in general, or mildly personal (Because you can't be TOO personal with these things!), I will most likely have something to say about it. And part of me wants to be known. Now, whether this becomes super popular, or not, it is mostly for me. For me to tell my stories. Voice my opinions. Maybe even share some of my poetry, if the opportunity serves it. The possibilities are endless.
And so, I must leave with that. Thanks for reading, and enjoy!
