Mission, Texas

It's been really difficult to characterize what it's like to live in Mission, Texas (or there abouts in my case). I've been so busy taking care of the new store I really haven't ventured to many places. It's only now that everything is working well enough that I've taken the time to wonder around. It took the dogs awhile to get accustomed to their new surrounding but not that long. It was only a few days before Buttercup was walking around like she owned the place. Peanut has been a disaster lately. He's been catching all kinds of allergies and crap. It almost seems as though he's moody or sick every other week. Drives me crazy.

Anyway, everyday that passes I fall in love with the area a little more. I out grew Brownsville long time ago, my friends were right on that account. I assume I'll out grow McAllen soon? Who knows, but i'm open to the possiblity.

One of our stores closed down in Brownsville. It was very much bittersweet moment after I had just been given another store in McAllen.

It's really been all a blur.

I came into town to take care of the reminance of the store. Sat in the receiving room, look out at the sky and waited for each truck to come pick up what they needed too.

Ahh noo.

apparently because of my blatant disregard for my health, im now sick :/ i hate it. im here in corpus christi trying to take care of business and i can't even talk!

Perfect

I like it like this. It's cold outside, 45 degrees to be exact. As cold as cold could be in Deep South Texas. It's dreary outside. The driveway is moist with rain and so is the road, that's what i see from my window.
Perfectly messy. Perfectly homey. Perfectly dressed. Perfectly lit.

Some days..

Some days just click unbelievably well; others noticeably fail at every attempt.

my intial thoughts

i've been thinking lately that i haven't taken the time to write much, let alone write about anything remotely interesting. i actually have quite a bit to write about but i haven't had the desire to put on paper. it all floats in my mind throughout the day; quite possibly occupying space i could be using on more pressing issues. :/ but let me digress.

the new year started. 2008. i'm hoping that this year will be one of the best years of them all, for me, that is. i'm an optimist. i have my hopes. :) i'm looking forward to making new friends and possibly experiencing some new adventures. i'm hoping that maybe sometime this year my store will be experienced enough that i could leave for a week and actually take a vacation! Mmmm.. yeah, i know what you're thinking, "steven, take a vacation?!? nooooo...!" oh well. we'll see.

lately, i've also come to realize exactly how unscripted and utterly ironic life could be. which in all essence means there will continue to be dramatic twists and turns; ups and downs. sometimes i feel as though my life is so loosely tied together but it all worries me only slightly. i know that whatever comes my way, will not destroy me anymore but only make me stronger. right?
