Ain't Nothin Gonna Hold Me Down, Oh No, I Got To Keep On Movin'

I love songs! Anyone know who sings that one? I can't quite place 'em.

So I like this living and working in the same town business. I live close enough to the church to go home for lunch and play with my puppy. That is awesome! And, if there is extra time in my lunch break... I can run errands. Everything is still open when I get home too! I also don't have to plan out everything I need to get for supplies and stuff, cuz if I forget, I can just go back a little later! None of this driving 40 min. to go to one store anymore! It's good. It's real good.

So, a little school update. Not going back for ANOTHER semester. It just seems like it will never end. Before I got married, I really could have cared less if I ever graduated. I just didn't care that much. I knew my mom and dad wanted me to, so I figured I'd eventually do it to get them off my back (no offense mom and dad)! But then when I got married and went back to school, I was so much more focused and driven! I think it was because I was no longer distracted with my love life. But that's just a theory. It could have also been that I knew NO ONE so there was no friends and hanging out stuff to distract me.

But now I sit with less than one year to finish, and that's killing me slowly inside. I NEVER thought I would care so much! I guess I just never really thought I would actually graduate, so I never really stressed about it ever happening. But I can SEE the light at the end of the college tunnel! AND I'M JUST SITTING! I am looking into taking at least one class, but it's not looking very promising.

So there's a little positive and a little not so positive from Kara's world. I hope to have stories and intriguing debate topics in the near future. Something a little more spicy and interesting than a play by play of my little life.

Later Gator.

So... this is an old post that I wrote and saved and forgot to post! It's from the begining of August... or maybe the middle. But I decided to post it anyway. Old news for the Deal family (and Sellers) but new news for you!

Hello -- I came across your blog while googling for somebody wholly other -- but I couldn't resist answering your question. The lyrics you site: "Ain't Nothin Gonna Hold Me down, Oh No, I Got To Keep On Movin" comes from a song called "Break My Stride," which was a big hit in 1982 for a guy named Matthew Wilder.

I know the feeling, only in reverse. I live by putting the rest of my life on hold so that I can do school. Most of the time that makes me happy, but occasionally, I wish I could just start life.

you have my permission to start blogging about important things like religion and politics and things that matter in our world...but i still want to hear about whats happening in your life! my blog always ends up as a play by play of my life, but ive come to terms with it- i like that my friends and fam all know what im really doing here in okc. i also had to come to terms with the fact that it isnt always going to be funny...i would not post for weeks because i had nothing funny or interesting to say, but now i have decided i dont care and will post any random thing that comes to mind or that i happening to be doing that day.
so there you go- the longest comment ever. im dumb.
