why dont i learn?

why have i still not learned how to just keep my mouth shut? honestly its what gets me into the most trouble. I ask (i guess unnecessary) questions at the wrong time and it just makes things go from good to bad...on top of that i try to explain stuff i do or say/ask and it just makkes things go from bad to worse. ugh, i guess i'll learn soon enough...or at least i better, after all it is what causes most of my problems. im not saying that i have a big mouth when it comes to other peoples business or even my own because i know how to keep a friends business a secret if it is intrusted to me, but for myself i think i might be better off missing that part of my anatomy sometimes...would definitely make my life a lot easier is all i'm saying. whoever said curiousity killed the cat was right, maybe not to that degree but dang near. i guess i'll learn...eventually haha

kelley

I finally got my letter of acceptance to the Kelley School of Business, but it's almost bitter-sweet. Don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic to finally be in; however, at the same time that single piece of paper has practically solidified my future. The past two years this is the goal I have been working toward and now that I have it I find myself thinking there's no backing out now...business it is. Since I was really young all I wanted to do was have a high up position in a company that pays really well and that lead me down the path of getting a business degree. I guess all of this pondering is a product of my overwhelming amount of free time at my store which has brought me to a realization that I'm not getting any younger. This is my time to really buckle down and to shine! Now is the time to kick butt at school so I can be as successful as I had always imagined, and I want it more than anything. I always hear these tales of woe about how "everyone changes their major at least once in college" which I now know is not true...those who change their major multiple times clearly are not paying for their own education! haha :) I almost always approach something as "I better finish what I have started" and so far it's worked out in my favor (knock on wood). The overwhelming reality that I am now an adult and dont have anyone but myself to make decisions for me takes some getting used to, but I know that I will overcome whatever ales me and be a better person for it thanks to the support of my wonderful friends :) as for now...I guess I'm Kelley bound! haha

answers

I have finally done a little research on my first mystery and discovered that it is total hooey. While on my hunt to discover the real reason people say not to wear white after labor day I practically found no real answer to how this "rule" (if you really want to call it that) got started. However, I will share my findings anyway...people say that because white is mostly a summer color and thus many manufacturers only make white clothing in fabric types that are less suitable for colder weather (thus the Labor Day rule). As for myself, I will continue to employ white into my wardrobe at any given opportunity because I like the way I look in it. Personally I don't understand where the saying came from anyway or why someone would try to put such a restriction on someone's style in an attempt to stifle their creativity...I say wear what makes you happy, no matter what silly age long saying says otherwise (with the exception of see-thru leggings with a baby tee...thats just wildly unacceptable!...not to mention an assult on the eyes in most cases) I guess I'm done with my rant for now, now to figure out what I am going to tackle next (hopefully something with a little more concrete answer...)

new things

So much has happened since the last time I had the opportunity to get on here and write. It's like life is moving in fast forward and there's nothing I can do about it. I have been married for almost a month now and married life is...well...prettymuch like I expected it to be. We have both been extremely busy since school ended, but whereas most people would be upset about the fact that they dont get to see their spouse enough because it is so hectic (not that I don't think that way every once in a while) I try to look more on the bright side and to make every second that we do get to spend together count. We have moved into our own place and are currently in the process of fixing it up. My hope is that people who walk in once its finished (people who saw it in progress that is) will say WOW! It is a lot of work but it will look fantastic when it is done and it will be a place all of our own which is already more than worth it...considering we got it for a steal in the first place. I started my annual fireworks store yesterday and let me just say I was not ready for it to be here this soon, but I guess its something to do (not to mention great money) the hours just seem to get longer and longer every year. Time always seems to slow down for me in this 6 weeks but unfortunately life doesnt stop just because it feels that way to me right now, there are still bills to be paid and adult decisions to make (by trial and error of course :)) It's funny to look back at my life now and think about how I almost always shyd away from new things and now I just go with the flow and try new things whenever someone can convince me I should, which is kind of freeing. Overall though life is pretty good for me. I have a husband who loves me, a good paying job, and the best friend a girl can ask for [who has inspired me by the way to write about something somewhat productive in my blog...so for the next few weeks while I'm stuck at my store I will be taking on some common mysteries; for instance, why people dont wear white after labor day (and of course some more hard hitting topics but that's where I will start)]
