Everyday Is A Panic Attack Dear...

I have made a decision... (I bet the suspense is killing you.)

I finished reading Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and I found it to be a very interesting and insightful book. I think anyone could benefit from reading it, whether in a relationship, casual dating, single, or whatever. It just has some really interesting insight into how people think in general. I hate to admit it (but I can) the book made me realize some things that I do that aren't beneficial to me. Am I saying that it is a cure-all for peoples lives and relationships (romantic and/or platonic)? Absolutely not! But it is really interesting to read.

Oh-a-My-a-God! I love this freaking song!!! And I have no clue why.... "Shut Up and Let Me Go" by The Ting Tings. I really have no idea why I like it so much but I do. I am listening to my Pandora station while I am sitting here. I just got done doing the bills for the month.... I hate having to do the bills, but at least I know that each month my bills are paid and that some day (preferably sooner than later) I will have all my creditors paid. Well, our creditors. Yay for credit cards! They are handy in an emergency though!

Which is a great lead-in for my weekend...

Saturday we had planned on finally tackling the spare bedroom (computer room/Spaz's room) and getting it situated. I know, I know... We have lived here for damn near a year (crazy to think about...) and we still haven't completely unpacked... And there really is no excuse for it. We just haven't done it... But we need to because one of my new years goals is to get back into my art, which means I need an area for doing so... I digress. So, we planned on working on this project after we got back from my IL's (had to go out and pick up some mail). When we got home I went to check on the laundry I had going when we left. I had put a load in the dryer and one in the washer. The dryer wasn't going so I was like, "Score! Before we get started I can swap out the loads, put stuff away and start the next load in the washer." Then I realized that though the dryer was stopped it hadn't even come close to completing the cycle. I checked the clothes and sure enough they were still really damp. I pushed the start button and it just made this buzzing sound. SHIT! While Collin looked up what could be wrong, I looked up new dryers. From everything he found it seems that the bearings went bad and the drum seized, which basically means it died. The dryer had been Grams' and had led a long and healthy life (it was about twenty to twenty five years old!). Luckily, Sears was having a sale and we were able to get a new dryer (ordered online to be picked up at the store) for $255.99 (this is where the credit card was nice to have on hand... with an available balance.). Then came the issue of getting rid of the old dryer, we went to the dump and paid $5.50 to leave it with all the other dead appliances. It was kind of sad actually to see all these busted appliances grouped together in this sad little area of the dump.... Anyways, after we ditched the old dryer we went to Sears and picked up the new one. It is nice (not my dream dryer) and takes up a little less space in the laundry room, and does a really great job... Drying stuff... What else did you expect it to do? It's a freakin' dryer!

Another awesome thing about this weekend...

Sunday night, we were watching Nostradamus 2012 on the History channel (we like to watch random stuff like that) and then around ten we decided to check the news and the weather and toggle back and forth between the news and Nostradamus. I wanted to see the weather because it was really windy and raining cats and dogs. It was about 10:25, and I knew the weather was about to be on in about five minutes, all of a sudden the lights dim and then went out all together! It sucked hardcore. And of course we didn't have one of the fifty million flashlights we own on the freaking coffee table... I was able to feel around for the candle lighter that was on the coffee table. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was daytime, or we were already in bed because (I am woman enough to admit this...) I am completely and utterly terrified of complete darkness. And no I don't know how I handle camping, but I can and do. I had to have Collin turn on a flashlight so there was at least a little ambient light... Sad I know... The power didn't come back on until around three in the morning... I think a branch or tree must have taken down a line.

Yummmy... I am drinking Pepsi with about a shot worth of Buttershots, which is butterscotch booze. Making me happier.

As for the decision I made (yeah, I bet you thought I was just leading you on in the beginning of this post...), I have decided that I will look at other possibilities for work. I am not looking really hard, but if something comes my way and interests me and is up my alley I will apply for it. I need to do this for me. I am tired of going through the same shit day in and day out. I simply don't have the energy to do it anymore. I am only gonna be twenty four this month, but this job makes me feel a lot older. It may just be time for a change. If I get something else, then I get something else. I am not gonna quit unless I definitely have another job. It should be interesting... That's for sure. I promise to keep everyone posted.

Peace Out To All The Homies!
