I don't know where the past month has gone. Wait, I do. I moved, did some promo work, learned to hate my job (and everything that goes along with it), shopped and when I got the opportunity, I slept. I am at work after a semi-stressful morning.
For some reason I couldn't sleep. I went to bed between 2 and 3 and woke up around 8 when there was no logical reason for me to do so. Then around 10 I decided to get myself together and go to Ikea (my home away from home) as planned so that I could return a few items (I am the QUEEN of returns!!!). Well, my gas tank was close to empty and I spy gas for $1.95, so I'm on it! In my excitement, I threw my keys in my purse while I retrieved my wallet and hop out of the car. Hmm... knowing me do you have any idea where this is going? *sadface* I locked my keys in my car for the first (and hopefully last) time ever.
So, I hung out at the Texaco for a little while, walking back and forth from the McDonald's and then finally spent some time (and money) at Pier One. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason, so getting some picture frames and a candle holder are the reason that I locked myself out of the car.
This was the excitement of my day, but I was anxious until I got to work for fear that I would get lost on my way there AND I had to get my oil changed today too. I've never been at an oil change before, but I can't say that I even witnessed the event.
My life is really boring lately, but there is still an element of novelty in the day to day. I felt like a mom on Friday night. It was the first time that I had hung out with Pauline in awhile and I really felt like I had gotten away from "the kids." The last time we saw each other, I wasn't a mom, but all of sudden, now I am. We met up for sushi at this place called Wasabi. They had a conveyor belt that passes the tables. The mechanics of it were a dream come true, but the sushi was only so-so. I think one of the best things there was this pepper tempura thing. Mmm... I'd go back for that. After sushi we went to see Marie Antoinette. Eh... Marie Antoinette seemed like she had a lot of fun, but she was beheaded, so I'm not sure what lesson I'm supposed to derive from that.
I'm relishing the lack of stimulation in my life. I think I'm just trying to get settled, get my roots down a little bit so that I can grow (hopefully in the direction of grad school...) I love just laying in my bed or putting pictures into frames. I look forward to going home tonight simply so I can arrange the frames above my bed. And on Tuesday, the rod will finally go up - that is if a certain someone comes over to drill the holes. I have been waiting on that rod. I will be so happy when it goes up, probably as happy as I was after the best nap EVER (I couldn't stop smiling afterward and I drooled) on Saturday.
I have lots of random blog bits here and there that I have from when I was unable to blog... but I wouldn't hold my breath for them. Life is nice.
