A Thrilling Thursday

So...its 1am and all I want is to hear "My Humps." Welcome to the end of $4 Cosmo night! After MUN we've been trying to do a little girls' time at a local bar that has cheep Cosmos. And its been wonderful. The only thin is, we couldn't find "My Humps" and that's all we wanted to hear. Yes, this is a tipsy post. And yes, I had a marvelous time today. It was just what I needed. A night out with friends after an incredibly easy day.

I worked for a few hours then came home for a nap. Paul was so sweet, we were supposed to nap, but he is always so concerned about me getting sleep that he tucked me in and let me sleep. I slept for about 2 hours and it was the perfect amount. Just what I needed to get me through the rest of the day.

After my nap I went shopping with Cortney. It was fun, but a little strained. I feel like we're still trying to get back to that pre-Timnah fiasco friendship and its hard. Maybe we were never as close as we thought we were. Maybe it was just college/proximity that pushed us together. I'm not sure. But we'll see. I like Cortney and we'll see if it is supposed to be a long-term in depth friendship. Not worried.

MUN. Fun as usual. I'm sad its over for this year. Possibly forever. Tears later.

Cosmos were fun. We reminisced about the time Katie sang "My Humps" and then craved McDonald's. So off we went. Since the inside was closed we went through the drive-through and then sat in the parking lot listening to the radio and just rocking out in general. So we've got, Lauren, Katie, Karl, Leah, Tom and myself wishing and praying that our request will go through before our food runs out. It did not. :( Ah Well. We had fun and that's really what matters the most.

Tomorrow I get my Paragard. YEA!!! I'm so excited and I just can't wait for it to be done and settled. I want to be done worrying about it and "seeing what will happen." Tomorrow I'll know. Yes!

Now I'm waiting for Paul to come home. I want kisses :)

Lots of Love,

Two Days Down

THe last couple of days I've felt a little humdrum. I think the combination of all the rainy weather this summer and the extended working hours just took a toll on me. Not to mention all the confusion with money at SUper 8 on monday. I enjoy working when its busy, but it was just out of control for like 2 hours. I was busy and everyone wanted to pay cash. Which meant that I was running back and forth and got really messed up with my cash drawer. People were patient, but I could tell they hated waiting. WHich made me feel bad. By the time my shift was done I had completely screwed up the money in the drawer and the amount that was getting dropped. I had to stay almost an hour late and I was just exhausted. Jackie called the next morning to let me know that everything had been fixed and I didn't really owe the hotel money, but it still sucked to fee like I couldn't handle it.

To top off the bad feeling from that I got behind in my dishes. Since I worked all day Monday I was too tired to do anything about them and just left the dirty water in the sink. Tuesday morning found me grumpy, tired, and not in the mood to deal with any of it. Luckily I was able to go into the Soc. office and just read my book while the computer processed stuff. I got this series from a friend when I was still at Range and I've been putting off reading it because I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. LOVE IT! I've read 3 books in as many days and I'm so hooked. SO far I'm pretty sure I have all but one book and its the last one so I've still got time to worry about getting that one. So since I 've been feeling crummy and didn't want to do anything, completely retreated into the books.

Yesterday I finally pulled myself out of it though. Katie called and wanted to go for a walk. I looked at my kitchen and just thought: 'I can't have her see it like this'. Katie was born organized and neat and tidy and she knows that I'm trying the FLYing thing. So I just hated to have to worry about seing that look on her face that would make me feel like a failure. So I emptied the sink and stacked the dishes. It took 2 minutes but I was already feeling better about the whole thing. The walk and chit chat with Katie felt good, it got me out of my head and laughing, which I think we both needed; her because wedding stuff was getting to her, and me because I was getting to me. After the walk Paul and I went for a bike ride around the Isle. Oh. That felt so good! We rode right up close to these deer and then down this huuuuge hill (ok, so up the hill wasn't great, but one day I'll be able to do it!) then we saw the deer again. It was just what I needed to feel more alive in my skin. Paul made us both chicken salads for dinner which was perfect. I wasn't in the mood to cook and didn't even feel all that hungry, so a salad was the best thing. Plus it was way healthier than what I had planned for dinner.

To top off the good evening we went and listened to this band play. Well, it was actually just one guy...but he normally has a drummer with him. The band's name is Hozz and he was great! He does mostly covers (though I nknew one of his songs...from the radio! which was super super cool) and they were good covers. I was so excited when he did SImon and Garfunkel's 'Mrs. Robinson' and 'Faithfully' by Journey. I love that song so much. Something about it just gets me. Or maybe I get it. I don't know. Ijust something about it feels gypsy-ish and I feel that way sometimes. Like I'm just passing through on my way to the next destination.

Anyway, I'm feeling much better than I was and I'm really happy to be out of that slump. Cortney and I have plans to meet up today after work which should be a lot of fun. Have I mentioned how happy I am that we're hanging out again? Becaus eI am. I like her alot and I think stuff just got so twisted freshman year that we both needed to grow without the other person for a little while.

Lots of Love,

Completely Unrelated

Items of note that aren't connected in any way to the last post so I thought they might be better on their own.

My firend Jackie is in Russia and I'm so happy for her! She has a blog, and I must say that I've made a big step in my blogging. I used my blogging name to comment on her posts. Now this may not seem like a big step, but as I'm sitting here thinking about it I keep feeling more and more wary. The reason being that none of my friends have my blog address. Most of them don't even know I have one. This blog is pretty much my diary, because no one who knows me reads it. And if anyone else does, I don't really care. But now, my name and blog address are just sitting there waiting to be opened up and read my my firends and family. I'm not sure I'm ok with that. Its like I've had this little sancutary for so long, what if it loses that power for me. Worse comes to worse, I have other ways of having a blog. It would just be sad if the anonymity that this one gives me were to be lost.

On a cheerier note, my friend Katie is standing up in a wedding and her date ditched her ( I know it doesn't sound cheery, yet). But I, being a great friend, volunteered to escort her! I even volunteered to wer a suit and said we could masculate my name a bit...heehee. We were laughing so hard just thinking about it. So she's going to ask the bride today when they go to get their nails done and then I'll find out tonight if I'm going to a wedding on Saturday! I think it would be fun. And I think that I'll wear a suit, but then bring a nice dress to change into. I think we'd have to get pictures, but after that I'd feel a little silly in my suit. So yeah, fingers crossed I could be off having a stupendous time on Saturday night!Which would be much better than the alternative, sittting at home alone.

Paul is on a mini-roadtrip with his buddies which has left me sleeping alone. Its so strange, how much I miss having him there after only 1 1/2 months of only sleeping together. When I went home it was hard too (he gets to stay in the basement :( poor guy) I like sleeping with him :) . I don't really have anything else to say. Those are the highlights.

Lots of Love,

P.S. I learned how to play cribbage, and I'm pretty good!
