Me, Today. Not Yesterday. Not Tomorrow.

Me, Today. What do I actually know about myself? I know my name is Alburnie. I was born to a man & woman who got hitched after 6 weeks, and have been married 21 years now. I know I'm a military brat, and now a military wife. I know that I'm not very tall, but not very short. I'm average. I've always been average. I like music. Not just ONE kind of music, but ALL kinds of music. I know that about a year ago, I'd look at someone like me today and think "Gross. That person is nasty". I guess b/c I was closeminded. I have brown eyes, not blue or green, just brown. I have a few friends I've kept with me over the years, the rest have fallen to the curbside. I'm addicted to the computer. There is so much out there, and there's no way I could learn it all. I know I've been married 2 years, but it feels like just yesterday I met my husband. I know we have a love that's stronger than most, and we used that love to make a beautiful baby girl. I know my family is not as close as it could be, but as close as we're gonna get. My grandparents were never much of grandparents to me. I know an angel by the name of Erika graced my parents life, and then my life- and has been with me since my birth... and I know my husband and I named our little angel after that angel. I know at one point in time my husband will get deployed and I will spend many nights alone, crying and waiting for one mere 5 minute phone call in which I won't get to tell him everything I had wanted. I know my daughter is going to grow up way too fast, and before I know it she'll be getting ready for prom. I know I have enough animals to begin a small petting zoo, and somedays I get extremely overwhelmed. My favorite color is green, food is mexican and artist is Jimmy Buffett. Today I like the new free credit report commercial and tomorrow I'll probably hate it. I know I have more than I could have ever asked for, a wonderful family, lots of un-needed materialistic items, and so much more.

What am I getting at? I'm a normal person. Plain & Simple. My physical features may be different than yours, but that's just makes me, ME.

Okay- so a year ago I'd have looked at myself and thought, that's nasty- I'm never going to be like that. But here I am, "Like That.". Yep, I'm like that. I've started my transition into a more green lifestyle. Currently it's just recycling, eating healthier and more organicly and now I'm beginning my transition into Cloth Diapering and I must tell you, I love it. And it feeds my shopping addiction! Haha!

I have so many words, but I can't get them out. I'll write more, don't worry.
