rainy days and mondays always get me down
dear blog,
sunday night i started writing a (sad) post about how lonely i am and how its been really hard and what not. and then yesterday, that really turned around. yesterday i was having a really rough day and my sisters took me out to lunch (okay, i paid, but they invited me.) and then we went to a movie (beastly. stupid movie, but stupid enough that i laughed the whole time.) and we had cocoa bean cupcakes (yummm). and i got an email from my baby brother even though i didn't email him first! and i got a happy email from beca! (and becca too, actually!) and kamry messaged me (even though i blew her off last week.) and when i was shooting around in the drive way this adorable old man rode by on his bike and said "nice jimmer shot!" and what was making out to be a sad lonely day turned into a reassuring lovely day. sunday i felt like the most boring person in the entire universe and yesterday i felt loved.
thank you. thank you.
love,
rochelle
p.s. i LOVE this song. sad but hopeful. karen carpenter is SOOO GOOOD! i seriously can't get over it.

thursday
dear blog,
thursday is my favorite day. and lately every thursday has been Lame with a capital L. as in NOTHING happens. at all. ever. BUT, today have been so lovely! i woke up and cleaned my room. (this is a big deal. and yes, every piece of laundry is away, and yes, i vacuumed). and it's warm enough to drive with the windows down (my favorite). & now i'm babysitting and davis and i went for a lovely walk outside. its so nice! and i also have plans to see a large number of my favorite people today.
today has been probably the only thursday-worthy thursday this whole year.
FINALLY
love,
rochelle
p.s. i am obsessed with this song, and so are jackson and davis. whenever i play it and the song is over jackson will like freak out, "again? again? again?" so cute!

dear blog,
yesterday my middle sister turned EIGHTEEN. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? part of me wants to say how weird it is that nickie is an adult and all grown up, but the weirdest thing is that nickie has always been a grown up. nicole has always been a beautiful, mature, capable young lady, and now the only difference is that she has the years under her belt to show for it. i'm so proud of my talented, wonderful, now ADULT baby sister! love you chica!

one dollar
dear blog,
last night i had a semi-traumatic experience with a close friend of mine. its a long story, but she was pretty sick and so i left her apartment to go and get some crackers and ginger ale for her to eat. when i got to the check out line at macey's the total was only $3.59 and i swiped my debit card and it was declined. WHAT? EMBARRASSING. so i tried it again. DECLINED. so i start searching through my wallet for some cash. come on, all i need is $3.59. i get all of the change out that i have and i only have $2 and seventy-something cents. i was so flustered and embarrassed and just as i was about to admit defeat and just get the crackers, the nice young checker asked me "would it be okay if i borrowed you a dollar?" "what?" i said. (i was genuinely confused because he actually said 'borrow you a dollar') "can i borrow you a dollar?" really? what a wonderful tender mercy. i know that he probably just felt bad for me, and one dollar really is not that much, but at the time it was exactly what i needed and that small sum made a world of difference for me. darling checker boy, thank you, thank you, thank you. it's experiences like this that restore my faith in mankind and remind me that people are generally good.

puzzled
dear blog,
lately i've been working on this jigsaw puzzle, and it is REALLY HARD. i'm not the best at jigsaw puzzles, i'm not really the best at anything these days, but i'm okay with that. anyways, what i really like about puzzles is that every little piece has a designated place. that piece belongs there. once you find that place, the specific piece fits perfectly and snaps right in. i love that feeling. its so fulfilling every time you find where a piece goes, and even more fulfilling seeing the end result. that's another thing i love about puzzles; you open the box and there is just a jumble of pieces that alone seem like random splashes of color and lines, but once every piece is in its place, the puzzle becomes a beautiful picture of a landscape, or a building, or an animal. i like to think that i am my own little random puzzle piece right now, and that one day i will find my place, my purpose, my contribution to the big picture of life.
one day.
love,
rochelle
p.s. all this talking about puzzle pieces reminds me of this song:
