Rainy Day Post.

It's raining.  Which is good, because otherwise, it would be snowing.  I've said it a million and one times on here at least, but I'll say it again for good measure: rain is good, snow is bad.  Rain reminds me of home.  Snow makes me want to cry.

Unless it's winter, Christmas, or around Christmas.  That's different.  Then it's magical.

I'm trying to decide what to do today.  Should I make it a productive day?  What is the definition of a productive day anyway? 

On the one hand, I could clean.  I have a room that looks like a twister hit it, the bathroom is kind of a mess, and I really should sweep the kitchen.  Maybe redecorate my bedroom walls.

On the other hand, I could just spend the whole day reading the manga my boyfriend (it's going to take a while for me to get used to saying that...in a good way, of course, lol) lent me, catching up on celebrity gossip (I don't know about anyone else, but I need a healthy dose of it from time to time), and knitting my scarves.  If I go with this option, I might even work a bit on the collection of poetry I started at the beginning of the semester when everything felt like it was going to hell.

Hmm.  Yeah, the second option I think has won.  It is a perfect day for doing nothing.

I got a copy of People's Magazine yesterday so that I could catch up on the Royal Wedding stuff.  I know, I know.  It's very hyped up.  But you know what?  Kate got her fairytale and frankly, I think it's romantic.  I'm kind of a sucker for that anyway, so maybe it doesn't count though. 

I just love how in love they are.  You can tell in all of their pictures that he really loves her and that she really loves him.  The fact that she's a commoner is cool too.  It shows that when it's right, no barriers - social, religious, etc. - can hold it back.  Total fairytale.

Plus her dress is beautiful.  I don't think it's something that I would wear, but it looks astounding on her.  Weddings are one of those things that some girls dream about their whole lives; I love watching them when they work out.

My cousin is getting married this summer.  I'm kind of bummed we don't get to go to the wedding.  He's the last of my family to get married; that ultimately means that theoretically, I'm next.  Although, we could end up doing what my cousins did and my sister could get hitched first.  It could happen. 

I like to think of it as not on my time table but rather on God's time table.  It makes me a lot less stressed and takes an insane amount of pressure off of me.  And really, I waited and God brought me the most wonderful guy, so I don't see a problem in my way of thinking.

My job interview with Macy's fell through.  I got an email yesterday telling me that my interview was cancelled because they already filled the position.  I'm not as bummed out as I feel like I should be.  I think it would have been a good place to work, but maybe it means I'm supposed to be somewhere else.  Who knows.

My phone has also been giving me a boatload of trouble.  Last night I plugged it in; it said it was charging, so I went to sleep confident that it would be fully charged when I woke up.  I got up this morning and turned it on, only to be told that the battery was about to die.  So after talking with my dad, I swapped out my memory card with his. 

Now I have two phones with me this morning.  One is my dad's with my memory card in it; the other is mine with his memory card in it.  Oh, and the trouble phone is now saying it has a full battery.

I can't wait until we renew our contract and can get new phones.  Just another few weeks...

Yup, that about sums up my existance at this moment.  Enjoy you're Wednesday, dear readers. =)

Spring Break Day Ten: Battle of the Scale

I hit that moment this morning when I realized: a good chunk of the weight I've lost in the past month and a half has come back.

This is what break does to me, guys.  I sit around, unmotivated (and completely happy about it too, actually) to really do anything.  I eat.  I write.  I eat some more.  I read.  I munch a snack.  I make some knitted projects.

And on and on.

I mean, break is great.

But break also means that I've gained back weight.  I guess I'm going back to running the stairs at school.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.  Goodness knows I should be doing that anyway.  I've become too dependent on the elevator this semester....

Oh well.  It was worth it.  Especially the doing nothing part.  I love that part.

Only one day left.  Then it's back to school.  Oddly enough, I'm back to having weird feelings about it.  Maybe it's because I'm not sleeping well.  It's not the classes I'm worried about.  It's the social end. 

But really, I should be fine as long as I have a book with me.  I feel like Belle from Beauty and the Beast.  "With her nose stuck in a book, she really is a funny girl..."  Yeah. 

Interesting, random trivia here: I actually can navigate my way almost anywhere while reading.  It's not something I recommend (I've almost tripped over completely flat surfaces multiple times while doing it, but then again, I trip when I don't read and walk), but it's kind of a cool thing to do.  People leave you alone.  Or they look at you like you're a complete odd ball.

I never did get a new phone.  I went to Best Buy and looked at their phones.  In the end, I decided that since the plan I'm on (my parents' plan) is going to be renewed in like three months, I'll just suffer through it and then get the free upgrade phone. 

I just couldn't spend the money for something I realized I could get for free if I waited.  Further proof that I am my father's daughter.

I hope you guys are all having a great Sunday.  I have to go finish blocking a scarf that I made this week.

Until we meet again.

Spring Break Day Eight: Red Hair

My hair is now cut nicely (always a nice feeling) and is red.  I haven't done red before, prefering to stay to the violets and dark browns.  I must say, it's nice.  I feel sassy.

Bring it on, school.  Bring it on with your professors, presentations, and oblivious boys.  I can handle it.

I'm also going to get a new phone tonight.  Very happy about that. 

Kate and I hung out today as well.  We went shopping, had lunch, and basically proved how awesome we were rocking out in the car.

All in all, a great way to spend a tax refund.

Another day of break down.  School is looming.  I'm ready.

Spring Break Day Seven: Skipping Day Six

Yeah.  Day six was good, but I was so tired yesterday that it just did not happen.  So you guys get two days for the price of one.

(No need to thank me, you know you wanted to hear about two days in a single post anyway...)

So yesterday I went for ice cream with one of my friends from school.  It was a pleasant change of pace.  We walked around an outdoor mall and went into all the stores, smelling candles and playing with make-up. 

Honestly, sometimes a girl just needs some time with her gal pals.  It's something that I never realize I need until I'm doing it and then it clicks.  Down time to talk about school, family, life, boys, etc.  So much fun.

Today my mom, sister, and I went to the museum.  That's always fun.  They have some really cool exhibits, like one on minerals found in Colorado and one on dinosaurs.  Gotta love it.

It wears you out, though.  They keep the place so warm that it's hard for me to focus past two exhibits.

I've decided that I'm going to make a cardigan.  I've not knitted clothing before outside of socks and hats, so it's going to be a new project for me.  I've gotten part of my tax refund back, so I figure the government can buy me chunky yarn for it.

That's another thing.  My phone is a piece of crap.  Yesterday it died and had to be taken apart and put back together.  Today I realized that I can't hear it ring - it doesn't ring or vibrate when someone calls me.  I went into the sound settings to adjust the ring tone, and the phone turned itself off.  It did that five times to me between last night and today.

So I'm going to go over to Best Buy and see if I can buy a better phone.  Maybe one that will last longer and will be what I want instead of one that keeps falling apart.  Seriously.  This one and the one before it both keep falling apart.  It's really annoying.

I think that about sums it up.  My sister and I are going out tomorrow and then I'm getting my hair re-colored.  It's going to be fun.  I'm very excited.

Spring Break is nearly over.  I'm both excited and sad about it.  We shall see how school goes the rest of the semester.  I'm hoping for good things.

Until we meet again.
