I love an orgainized closet . . .

This early Saturday morning I've decided to pour out my heart as I prepare to pour out cup after cup of coffee. I believe the topics will be varied. Perhaps something new for each cup?

Pre-cup:
While I blog I sit at my desk and am able to see a collage of snapshots. Friends. Family. As much as I love these people, I am so glad to now be sitting in my apartment alone. I need time to think. Time to rejuvenate. Time to just be. I need my Amy time. I really don't understand people that need to be constantly surrounded. People that need to have something planned with others for nearly all their waking moments. Later today I've got plans with my family. I'm so excited to be able to spend some quality time with them. Because I definitely need my family time too! But for now? Planning on milking my morning alone for all it's worth:) And speaking of milk, better get to the fridge. I think my first cup is ready . . .

First Cup:
Got a little distracted by my TV on the way back from the kitchen. But my morning? My prerogative. (Now totally have Bobby Brown's "It's My Prerogative" running through my head!)

Cup #2:
I recently heard someone say "I cannot control how I am perceived. I can only control how I am presented."

Numero tres:
Let me explain a few things. Each of these "cups" are actually equivalent to about 2 and half cups of coffee. I'm using a ridiculously large mug this morning . . . my weekend mug:) So, I'm actually over half done with my 10 cup pot. May make you wonder what I've been doing this morning as there hasn't yet been a lot of blogging. Well, first, when I said I got a "little" distracted by my TV I actually meant that I watched a random makeover show for about an hour. And then when I remembered the above quote (see cup #2), it got me to thinking about how I present myself. The combo of the makeover show and the thought-provoking quote took up quite a bit of time by themselves. More time consumed, however, by the fact that they sent me to my closet. And it seemed like a good time to try on all the dresses in my wardrobe. Which then, of course, led to the cleaning out and reorganizing of said closet. Frankly, I'm a little exhausted. Lucky I have this half-pot of coffee left! Ok, well actually now it's just a fourth . . .

Fourth and Final:
Starting to feel a little jittery. But in a really good and satisfying way! Here's what I'm thinking: I like myself. Certainly there are always, and will always be, things that I'll want to change about myself. Ok with being curvy, for example, but don't really need my ass to be quite this substantial:) And, it continues to be a constant struggle to control my infamous Haller temper. Much better than I used to be but it still gets by me every once in a while. Good thing I'm not into physical violence! Could go on and on. But concentrating on the liking myself thing today:) I'm a cool, smart, loyal person who happens to be pretty cute when she wants to be. What's not to like, right? No wonder I wanna spend time with me . . . :)
