Spring Break & Time & Such

Spring Break is all over. It wasn't incredibly exciting anyway.  I worked Monday through Wednesday when I was only supposed to work Tuesday. I don't mind too much though since Cliff and I need the money and my co worker had a concussion and couldn't work. Then Thursday was good. Cliff and I went to my sister's house and hung out with most of my family. No Alicia & Nate, sad. But I will be seeing her in about a month! Then on Friday my mom, dad, nephew and I went to a motorcycle shop to look at some stuff but that was a total bust. After that Cliff and I went home and I had to work Saturday morning. After work though Cliff and I went back to Rachel's house and we had celebrated her and Andrew's birthdays and had a really good time. That night we played cards once the kids went to bed. I must say... it is an absolute blast! The next morning Cliff and I had breakfast with my family (they made waffles!) and we had to go home because I worked that afternoon as well. I was expecting to come home from work to an empty apartment only to find Cliff sitting on the couch. The poor boy wasn't feeling well! So he and I sat and talked and didn't do too much the rest of the night. Finally we went to bed at around 10:00 and I didn't wake up until 9:00 this morning.

So now here I sit in the SCTC commons. Hungry. Tired. Really wanting to go home but I have to work again tonight. So sad. But Cliff and I will be moving this Saturday so I am really looking forward to that.  But I need to get through this week first.

It's strange to think that time goes the same speed all the time. Sometimes it feels like it's going faster while other times it just seems to creep along. Like right now... time is going by so slowly but last week flew by faster than I imagined. I hate time... I wish it would go by slowly during the fun times and fast during the slow times. How great would that be? Oh well. I am just happy God gave me any time at all! So anywhoo. I can't say there's much more to report. Unless you want to bring me food within the next 30 minutes I guess I will see you around.

God bless!

Weekend Update.

So I have been enjoying work quite thoroughly ever since I started. It has been very low maintenance and the people I work with are very nice. It's quite slow most of the time and so I am not running around like a chicken with my head cut off. On top of that, I love working with candles! It is so much easier than working clothing retail. Granted there is still quite a bit to remember. Such as proper burning of candles and how long each one burns. Then there's also the reed diffusers and electric burners. Plus potpourri and tarts. Oh yes, quite a bit to remember. I can do it. Of this I have no doubt. But still...

Other than that I can't say life has been too exciting. I am on my spring break right now but it pretty much consists of working and packing. I am so happy that Cliff and I will be moving to our new place. It will make so many things SO much easier! Only 10 days!!

Hm... My friend Adam came down to visit Cliff & I this last weekend. That was fun. We went to the St. Paul Science Museum and then to the Mall of America. After that we came back to the apartment and played Nintendo Monopoly. That was an absolute HOOT!! Haha. Poor Mario died in a tragic accident. Haha.

Anywhoo, I should probably be going to bed and try to get some sleep instead of killing my sleep cycle like I already have been the last few days. So good night everyone and, as always, God bless!

Thoughts

I am done with my classes right now and so I am sitting here looking at facebook and shoes and thinking. I need to stop doing that. However I have been thinking about someone quite often lately because he keeps popping up in dreams and out of the blue. It's really starting to upset me because I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to talk to him again and even more so I never want to see him! And yet here I find myself thinking about everything went wrong and I wonder if maybe I should have done something different. Like stop talking to him a long time ago. Granted it's already been about four months but still. So what am I supposed to do when I see pictures and hear things? I have been able to walk away unscathed for quite some time, but now it's starting to catch up to me. Then I start to wonder if he's thinking about me. If he ever remembers when we were friends and nothing was wrong in the world. I doubt it though. He has his own little world right now and nothing else can come in there.

Oh well. I have my husband and things have been going incredibly well the last few months. I am loving school and I have a new job which I am really looking forward to. I start that in less than a week! Yay! Cliff has been enjoying his job at Kia but is still waiting for that call back. Please keep praying that he does! We are moving in a few weeks and I have never been more excited. I cannot wait until we are in our two bedroom apartment! We will have so much more room for EVERYTHING! When people come to visit, they will have their own room to sleep in instead of worrying about waking them up in the morning. Oh goodness! How exciting. Can't I just move now?!

But I suppose I should head home and get to work on some more cleaning and packing and what not. I'm not looking forward to it, but it needs to be done. There will be a lot more cleaning to do soon! God bless!

My Soap Box Moment

So I have decided that people who smoke and then throw their butts out the window really really annoy me. I see it so often when I drive down the road and there's this little white thing falling from someone's window and it's a cigarette butt! Seriously? Why do so many people do that?! Is it so hard to keep your butts in your own car? I have even seen some people, while at a red light, open their car door and dump out their ash tray right into the gutter!!! How is that helping anything?! So those of you that do smoke, please keep your butts in your own car or else dispose of them properly! Why is that so difficult to do? I am sorry for this little rant of mine, but I have seen it happen all too often and now I just cannot take it anymore! I am done with my soap box moment for now. I am sure it will come back again though. God bless everyone! (Yes, even those who can't keep their butts in their car).

A Chili Kind of Day.

Today was, as you could guess, very busy! Cliff and I woke up this morning and slowly got dressed and went to church. While there, Cliff decided he was going to enter into the Chili Cook Off competition. I was already helping out with the bake sale that night so I figured, why not? Cliff and I sat through the service, (a very good one again today). Afterwards Cliff and I were talking to another contestant of the chili cook off and he was telling us that he had been preparing his chili for FIVE DAYS! Cliff and I were amazed by that! Then we got back in the car and went to Coborn's to pick up stuff for Cliff's chili. He and I then went home and he got to work while I playing Animal Crossing. (It's a new obsession of mine, rather sad really!) Cliff cut up some peppers and mixed in some beans and the chili was really starting to smell good. He would have me taste test it every now and then. It wasn't until the third time that it was finally too hot for me! Cliff said it was ready and we finally headed out around 4:54. We get there and we are instantly busy. I get to setting up the table and the baked goods while Cliff finishes getting registered and gets his stuff ready. We are both completely separate for the rest of the evening until I finally get to go and eat some chili. I only ate one kind, but it was very good.  Hooray for Cliff, he won second place in the "Hoo Doggie" section. The chili that one was just plain hot, not really much flavor or taste to it. Cliff's chili was good for the first few chews and then it would hit you! People loved his chili because of it. I was very proud of him. I told him that this was completely cliche, but he won the cook off to me because his had flavor and was hot. The bake sale went very well too. We raised a lot of money for the Youth Group so they can go to CIY this July. I was very happy with the way things went tonight.

However, now the day is done and I am absolutely EXHAUSTED! The time on this blog is off and right now it's 11:03 p.m. So I bid all of you a good night! Keep your chili hot, but flavorful! God bless!
