60 degrees outside and a winter storm warning

So Arkansas' weather has been known to be varied though this was something new. Last week we had sunny skies, a mild breeze, and a winter warning in effect. A lot of us were wondering how it could be 60 and we have winter weather. It is a joke among many residents that if you don't like how the weather is just wait about 20 minutes and it will change. We ended up getting about a foot of snow. This was very surprising since it was our biggest snow of the season. Many of us wondered what it would have been like if it had been colder.

Reflections/Thoughts

So my boyfriend's plans for dates almost never turns out the way he wants them to. Especially, on Valentine's day. He had this really romantic date planned but like usual it fell through. Well on friday we had planned to go see Coraline at the movies and we got out of his car and he put his hand in his pocket and realized he had left his wallet at his house. I offered to pay but that was out of the question so we race back to his house however, we couldn't make it back in time for the movie. So we grabbed some dinner and then we planned to go back to his house and watch a movie. Well those plans didn't work out either. Both of us had been keeping some secrets from each other. We just weren't letting each other in. I was convinced that I am in love with him and that scared him because he has been hurt before and he didn't want to fall again. Falling in love didn't fit in with either of our plans. However, he had realized that I was in his life for a reason and that he didn't want to fight it. That wasn't what was bothering him though...he had a personal fight that he didn't know how to explain. So I'm wondering what I'm doing in what I was seeing as a onesided relationship and the guy I had dated before him was talking to me again. So I was really having a hard time figuring out what to do and he was being very closed off. Anyways, we figured out that we just needed to stop and talk. So there is an empty subdivision about a mile from his house. So we stopped and just started talking. It just seemed like everything we needed to say we did. It truly brought us closer. Anyways, I was wanting to just get out of the car and walk for a bit because we had talked for about an hour. So the first thing he did was put on some music that we could hear outside and then he pulled me into his arms. It felt so good, so right to be there. It was like everything, all my problems, insecurities, worries vanished. He was all I wanted...all I need. It made me realize just how much he means to me. I couldn't hurt him for the world. I'm not strong enough to leave him....but I am strong enough to keep myself from things that I have been weak to in the past. The same question keeps coming up in my head though...When is love enough? Is it ever enough? How long will it be enough before we need something more? And what more is there?

Job Scarcity

So today I started looking for an online job to earn some cash while in between part time jobs. I was surprised at how misleading a lot of stuff is. There was hardly any oppurtunities for teens under 18. The economy is causing quite a shortage of jobs. Almost no one in my area is hiring. It is really disheartening. Then I came across iHype. It was the easiest way I had found. I am still surprised at the lack of oppurtunities.
