Who Needs Sleep?

Stupid, stupid stupid (picture me hitting my head against the wall). Why did I think I could work another job on top of the one that I already have as well as attending school? I must have had a severe lapse of judgement when I accepted this position.
I have decided that I am way too competitive. I always have to win. This is bad. It gets me into a lot of trouble. Also involved with this is the inability to back down from a dare. Last week I was dared to drink the leftover ultimate dipping sauce from a Training Table dinner that a friend and I shared. That wasn't so bad. However, last night, I got dared to do something kinda stupid. I lit my hand on fire. This could have ended so badly! Luckily, I was working with an experienced hand-pyro. Apparently, all you have to do is spray some aerosol hairspray on your hand and light up. Just make sure you are near a sink or something similar.

The Beautiful Letdown

Today was not a fun day. I spent all day at different appointments that I had. First on the list: Eye Doctor. It wasn't so bad to begin with, then the doctor told me that I have astigmatism. Yuck. Now my contacts are going to be more expensive. Hopefully they will help me to see better:). Next was the car place. My poor bumper has been sagging for a couple months now, so I decided to have them check it while I was in there getting my oil changed. 400 bucks! That is what they want me to pay to fix it! Apparently my bumper is cracking, so I have to get a whole new bumper. Yuck. I guess I can deal with my car not being aesthetically pleasing. Then, I went to donate plasma. I have never done it before, so they told me to plan on three hours. I cancelled a few things that I could have done so I could be there. I got to the plasma place, and they wouldn't let me get started because I didn't have proof of social security. Who needs that? So, that blew up in my face. I did, however, find out that I have pretty good vision insurance. I get my contacts paid for, and half off my glasses. I ordered a new pair of glasses. I love them! They make me feel like a librarian.
Unlike today, yesterday was a pretty good day. I got to exact a little bit of revenge on someone. I got to make a guy who has been a little snippy with me in the past sit through a facial, foot spa pedicure, and a Mary Kay Satin Hands treatment. He looked silly:) I LOVED it!

Just The Way You Are

Anyone know of anybody who is looking for a good place to eat on Thanksgiving? Sadly, most of my brothers and sisters can't make it this year, and my mom is beside herself. She is so used to cooking a huge meals that I don't really thinks she knows how to make small portions. So, she asked me the other day to recruit some people. We accept out-of-towners and people who are just looking for a good meal, even if it is their second one of that day. If convincing is still needed, just know that my mom was a caterer for twenty years, and is still a cook by trade. It will be exceptionally yummy!
Thanks to all my buds who gave me words of wisdom. I know that there is really no such thing as being behind, sometimes I just need a little reminder.

So you think you can hold the world up by a string...

I am still young right? I have been talking to few people lately about what they are doing and have already done with their lives, and through these conversations, I have been forced to reflect on my life up to this point. This pondering has led me to believe that I am seriously behind. What have I accomplished? I am trying to think of a list, but at this point, it is really short. I should be in graduate school by now, but I am still in the "eternal junior" phase. Heck, I just officially declared my major last Thursday. I have known what it would be for about a year, I just had not made the effort to go to the department and fill out the dinky little paper. This feeling is not only with school. There are so many other aspects of life that I have yet to even venture into. Luckily, this weekend, I came up with a three year plan. I think it is a very good plan, and I will not stand for any deviation from it. I guess you could say that my world will be held up by a string. A very thin string that will break if anyone tries to shake things up.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Just a little bit. That is all I want.

If God Made You

Have you ever had someone come into your life that you knew was sent to you at just the perfect time? I didn't know that I needed this person, but they have made my life a lot better. I know that they will not be around forever, probably another few weeks or so, but I am so happy that I have this person, temporary or otherwise. Much needed motivation has been provided for me to do something that was a little more difficult before. And I am so grateful for that, even though it is probably not deserved.
Referring back to something I said in my last entry. I am finding myself not always changing the station from the constant Christmas music when I scan through my radio. Hypocritical, I know, but I can't help it!!!! I am getting so excited for the best time of year. All I need now is snow, that glorious substance that makes my heart happy.
