woah. I have way more to do than I thought.

I want to spend a bajillion dollars at Smiley's Yarns online. AHHHHHHHHH!

This is the life.
Crocheting christmas gifts.
Watching Hook with my darling.
Nothing is better than this.

1. I don't want to go to school today,
or any day for that matter.
I think I've finally had enough of it.
It's not so much the work or learning
that really turns me off of school.
It's the dealing with other human beings,
going somewhere outside of our house
to be with people I don't much care for,
and the time it takes to get there/back.

However, I shall endure.

2. I am getting more and more excited
about the holiday season and
being able to afford to buy ingredients
for all the bajillion things I want to bake!

3. I want to start cooking dinners.
I love cooking (and baking) but never have the time
or encouragement
(I'm a pretty bad cook due to lack of experience).
I think I just need to find a couple recipes
that I can make in less than an hour,
but that are superb. Then, maybe,
I'll be encouraged to cook more.

4. I'm almost too excited to look at Craftster.org
later on tonight. I can't do it now,
because I have a bit of homework to catch up on.
But damnit if I don't look at it later.
It's like porn to me. Seriously!

5. I may or may not have Taco Bell for lunch.
I miss wasting time there with my friends,
but I miss their delicious-ness even more.

My Two Biggest Issues with my Potential Mother-in-Law:

I think it's ridiculous to say you have "big life decisions" to make when you say it every day. That's just called living, ma'am, and it'd be neat if you'd stop making everything sound so dramatic.

Which leads into the second biggest issue: if you hate drama so much, why do you constantly start drama with everyone? Just sayin'. Just sayin'.

For my nonfiction writing class,
we obviously have to write works
of nonfiction, so I wrote about
when I "broke" back into my
stepfather's house without his
permission and kidnapped our
puppy and my cat, Rose, so that
I could take them to the Humane
Society. Revisiting that is
both refreshing and very
depressing. My teacher and I
had a conference yesterday
"reviewing" it for ways
I can add punch, "even if
it's the most tense piece
in the class". It was strange
reading it to everyone in the
class, but I'm confident I can
get it published. Con-Fi-Dent!

However, Reba is keeping me
uber entertained, so ta-ta :D

Yesterday it smelled a lot like
February outside. The crisp chill
was enough to make your legs shake.
When I got off work I indulged
in a second piece of our Caramel
Apple Nut pie and slipped into bed.
My feet were cold against my boy
as he had been nuzzled in the
comforter for over three hours.
Still, I felt warm and at home
and I cannot wait until I get
off work again tonight so that
I can do the same thing. Maybe
I'll even shower after work
(instead of waiting until morning)
so that the basement feels twice
as cold, and thus, snuggling under
the covers with my boy feels
twice as delicious for my little
toes and fingers. The cold is
a horrible, horrible thing, but
it also gives you a true love
for what it means to be warm.

I need to crochet faster!

I don't really know what's going on.
This past week has been hell.
I couldn't force myself out of bed
except Thursday and Friday
when I got to wake up
next to my darling.

This stupid season change
and the inability to see
my life outside of
Qdoba shift supervisor
/ college student
is getting tired.
I'm sick of standing still.

We went to the Cider Mill
on Thursday. I miss October
being my favorite month.
I don't have time to enjoy the leaves
or the rain
or Halloween.
I have to work and go to school
and not request time off
because my boss likes to punish me
by not scheduling me that whole week
whenever I request time off.
Thus, I'm trying not to request time off.

I made breakfast this morning,
as if we were living alone
and it was my responsibility.
I loved it.
We had breakfast burritos - shocking, I know.

I don't have my best friend anymore.
It's sad but definitely true.
We've grown too fast and far apart.
I don't think we'll ever go back to
Bean & Dip days. It's fair.

I wake up to a best friend every morning.
He is enough. He is my darling.
He is that stone you lay your head on
even when it's not that comfortable.
He's here. I love him and he is enough.

I'm excited for Halloween to come and pass.
I'm excited for Thanksgiving to come and pass.
I'm excited for Christmas so that I can stop crocheting my hands off.

I'm not making cards this year.
I don't care whether the spirit reaches you,
because it'll reach me.

Intro. to Psychology is teaching me
I'm an antisocial a-hole
and I'm completely fine with it.

I need to buy a desk so I can sit at it and get some work done, instead of sitting in my comfy orange recliner and playing around on craft sites.

I kind of miss having some form of drama in my life. Not like, woe is me, I'm happy. More like, nobody really has anything to gossip about and I love gossip. I don't really enjoy being IN the drama, but hearing others talk about it makes me feel entertained.

I re-started the first season of Heroes. I'm not allowed to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer without Josh and he's at work. Soon enough I can watch it, and enjoy it. It's crazy how good Joss Whedon is. No joke. No joke. Pure genius.

I have a chic crush on Taylor Swift. She's super pretty. However, it's super lame that all her songs are based around being the "nerd" or not getting the boy she wants, when honestly? She could probably get whoever she wanted (like Joe Jonas, lawlz!)

I need to stop having so many goddamn hobbies / wanting to document every goddamn moment of my life. There is waaaay too much stuff in our bedroom. I need to get some of these projects done and out of the way.

Hey, instead of posting in Livejournal, why don't I start?!

yesterday i thought to myself "i should post about this in LJ!"
and then i forgot to. and now i forget why i thought to.

Either way, I'm still alive.

I love Dani.
I love gossip.
I love comfortable underwear.
I love that my literature classes end tomorrow.

I love pretty much everything/everyone.
Life is so rad right now.

Zack & Miri make a Porno is actually a funny movie.

Today was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
On the upside, we're looking into getting a new car.
That piece of shit has got to go.

I'm

Today I am:
- tending to a yard sale
- waiting for mah baby to get off work so we can:
~ go to the lake or visit his stepfather
- celebrating everyone else's fathers
- laying in the front lawn and:
~ reading the Epic of Gilgamesh
~ reading the Illiad (yay?)
~ reading a picture book or two
- making somehing delicious, like Jell-o

There is too much emphasis put on the future.
I just want to lay in the grass and breathe.

I need some kind of release.

The only real downside to training to be a shift manager is waking up at 6:30 am five saturdays in a row to drive an hour away for a class on it. Yeah. That's what I'm doing awake this morning. Lame.

Also; I really, really, really like my boyfriend. He gives the best sleepy kisses ever <3

I have so many things I want to do this summer,
but I've been too lazy to do much. Hah. LAME.

Must make a to-do list!
