If only it were true!
DirecTV has these new commercials out about a Russian who has a pet mini giraffe and now they've gone so far as to make an actual website where you can "watch" Vladamir their bull giraffe on a live cam and get on a wait list to purchase your very own Petite Lap Giraffe. Oh, if I could only have my very own Russian-born lap giraffe who knows how to blow kisses at me!

Fresh Start #2
So 7 months ago I moved my life over to Tampa but the transformation has been incomplete because I'm still commuting to Orlando for work which has made it hard to feel like a true Tampa citizen and meet new people. Well, I can now announce that in 3 weeks I will officially begin working for Tampa General Hospital in their Neuroscience Unit and will no longer have to commute. Its a bit bittersweet for me because I've only had the opportunity to work at ORMC for 6 months and I feel bad for leaving so soon and will miss my coworkers a lot, but I'm excited to actually be working where I live and be able to sleep in my own bed every night. I think this will be really good for me. So here goes fresh start #2!
One thing thats just been haunting me lately is all the changes I went through a year ago and how all of that happened because I wasn't this flexible, adventurous person. I've never been someone who believes things happen for a reason, I think we create our own fate. At the same time I try not to focus on things that have already happened because you can't change them. But I think these instances in particular have been haunting me lately because I have grown into the exact person that I needed to be last year. I feel like I'm more accepting, more willing to try new things, more willing to experiment, and more flexible than I was last year. If I was a person who thought things happened for a reason, I would think I went through that to become this person so I wouldn't lose something so important to me the next time around. But being me, all I can do lately is lament that it took losing so much for me to realize what's important. Sticking to what you know, whats safe and familiar isn't so important. Getting that verbal commitment out of someone isn't so important when actions are telling you everything you need to know. I know its not good to dwell in the past, but somethings holding me back. I guess I just to have to try and accept the lesson learned but its hard when reminders keep invading your dreams. Literally. I miss what I lost and I don't know how many times I have to mentally accept that before I can move on.
But on a happy note...my family comes to visit next weekend! My sister has been to visit a few times but my parents haven't been to Tampa since before I moved in so I'm excited to get to show them my apt and where I live. I think we're going to go to the zoo, the Dali museum, and maybe try to hit up the beach. I can't wait for the Clark Family invasion!
