Nothing in Particular

I don't have anything really specific that I want to talk about today, but since I have 30 minutes still to kill on what is the longest day & week ever, I figured that I might as well write something. So here goes!

-Cold Rain: I hate it when it is cold outside & raining. Especially when there is wind involved so even if you have an umbrella, it does no good because the rain is blown into you anyways. I think that if it is going to be cold, it either needs to be sunny or snow/sleet needs to come out of the sky. And sleet is only allowed if I'm already at home and can't get in to work for a day or two! Not on weekends unless it's Sunday night and not while I'm at work so I have trouble getting home. That would just make me cranky! Snow is fine any time. But not cold rain. Plus you know people can't drive in the rain. Not sure why....I've been driving in rain since I was 15. Hard rain that you can barely see through. But it drizzles outside here and everyone automatically either drives 20 miles per hour or forgets how to drive at all.

- EBay: Austin & I spent over an hour last night searching around on EBay for a unique gift for his cousin's birthday. We were able to find one gift we wanted yesterday and it's on the way, but we wanted something more.....I think the descriptions for some of the things we were looking at were the funniest part. We were laughing so hard that we were crying. Like for example, his counsin likes Angelina Jolie so we were snooping around at autographs and such. And some of the descriptions of the pictures were just too much for us. Two of them were our favorites, and when we got in bed last night, Austin decided to call our pets by those names! The descriptions of the pictures (well two in particular) used the words "nippy" and "leggy" - I guess you might have had to be there but we just thought that was too funny. So Austin called the cat "leggy" because he raises his leg up to clean himself and the dog "nippy" because she's a girl dog and therefore has many nipples. ;) We also saw a ukelele (don't ask) that was played by Tiny Tim, and I was laughing/crying so hard at that point that I couldn't get the words out of what I had seen.

-Gloria's: Mmmm, how you tempt me! After telling Amanda how good it was for their trip to Dallas in a few weeks, I couldn't stop thinking about it. We wanted to go tonight but with traffic it might take a long time to get there and after I have to drive home in rainy traffic, I doubt I will want to get back in the car and go again. So maybe if I'm lucky, we could have dinner there tomorrow night - guess it depends on the rest of the group and how the day ends up tomorrow. Hopefully I will be savoring black bean dip, chocolate flan, and something else yummy tomorrow night.

-Washing jeans: I hate washing jeans. I do it, don't worry, but I hate it because then they get all tight and scrunchy feeling and you feel like you weight five million pounds. I hate having to squeeze the button closed. Even though I know if I would just do it and wear them for a few hours, they would be comfortable again. But it's just the thought of having to do that that makes me feel like a big blob. I had this incident this morning and tried on about three different pairs before claiming these as the loosest fitting and therefore most comfortable.

-Sleep: It's something I have become very unfamiliar with lately. I don't know if it's stress or something I'm eating or drinking or if I'm becoming hormonal at age 25 or what the deal is. I wake up almost every night burning up (I have a speedy metabolism - thank goodness - which makes me really hot at night) and just a general tossing and turning. Therefore, I NEVER feel rested. I had one good night of sleep last Sunday and that is about it for about two+ weeks now.

-February: I can't believe that next week is February - how time flies. Of course each 8 hours of the day during the week go slow as a turtle. But the rest of the time flies by. Before you know it, it will be Austin's birthday, then mine, then our trip to DC, then our one year anniversary, and then Thanksgiving & Christmas again. Craziness!

-Friends: We are so excited because one of Austin's good friends since childhood, a groomsman from the wedding, and one of my new good friends since meeting Austin had moved off to Lubbock in November. We were afraid he might never come back, and we missed hanging out with him because we had all had such a good time over the summer together. Today is his birthday (24), and we found out the other day that he is trying to get back to DFW soon. And he found out today that someone gave notice for a position he was wanting in Ft. Worth so he might be back soon! YAY! :) Also on the friend front, we are going to start a new group at IBC this Sunday called Fusions. It is for engaged or newlyweds in their 20s/early 30s. We can't wait because we are hoping we can meet some really great couples that are in the same situation we are! I'm sure I'll blog more on Monday about how it went.

I guess that is all of my randomness for now. Hope you all have a great weekend - I doubt I'll blog this weekend because tomorrow we have lots going on with Austin's family and then Sunday we'll be doing the church thing and then errands. So goodbye for now! :)
