Just another day in the life

I am literally sitting here at my desk watching the minutes tick by

I am ready for the big hand to be on 3

The little hand on 6

3:30

Time for me to go home!

Well, it’s really not that bad, I have just been filling my days here at work with the works of J. K. Rowling. Yeah, Harry Potter… Even though I have already read ALL the books, I still seem to get so caught up in the world of magic. It’s quite silly, but something about it makes me feel young at heart. Not like I am old, but it’s just a nice getaway from the reality that is my life at work.

“Work”

I am practically getting paid to read. And now, to blog… Oh well, I will find things to keep me from going bored out of my mind. I don’t really have much to say, life has been pretty normal in my neck of the woods. It’s summertime, and the weather is very unpredictable. We’ve had a large amount of rain in the past few weeks and there have been some very violent thunderstorms. I am enjoying the break from school though. It’s quite nice not to have to worry about it at all! Now I am just worried about picking out the last few classes I need before I am able to start at UVa.

Rob is amazing. He really is everything I need and more. Not only is he everything I need… he’s everything I want! He makes me happy and he makes me feel better when I am down. I am so thankful to have found someone like him and can’t wait to spend more and more time with him… unlike the past 10 days where I have only seen him 1. He had been in Pennsylvania for a workshop and New York to move the rest of his things out of the apartment. I miss him. Terribly. I will finally get to see him tonight!

Tomorrow is the first day of July. Time has gone by so fast. It will be Maeve’s 9th birthday on the 14th, Rob and I will be together for 5 months on the 17th, I will be 24 on the 21st and time just won’t slow any of this down!

I am most excited about August being here already! Rob and I are going to…

JAMAICA!

I can’t wait! It’s my first time out of the country and I can’t think of a better person to go with! We are also going with his sister, Nanette and brother-in-law, Rio. We are going for one week and are staying at Sandals. It’s going to be a great time, I know it! All inclusive… EVERYTHING! Rob is most excited about the free golf. I am most excited about… well, all of it. The beaches, the golf, the spa, the everything! So, that has given me a mission. With 1 month and 23 days before we venture to the Caribbean Island, I am on a diet. Officially. I got lipozene, so I am going to give that a shot. I am eating healthier, which will definitely help! And once my body is no longer aching (from my fall down a flight of stairs) I am going to get my butt back in to the gym. I would really love to loose about 30 lbs before the trip, but realistically that’s just not going to happen! So I will have to be steadfast in my healthy eating, working out and lipozene. With all of those factors, I should at least look a little better than I do now, right? We’ll see!

As for the above mentioned fall down the stairs… well, that’s not even the tip of the iceberg. Let me back up to about a week ago… I fell in a ditch… up to my coochie… muddy, murky, rainwater completely covering legs. Yay! Then, Saturday I took my nieces to Doumar’s with my mom and when I got out of the car back at my place, I stepped in a water meter hole, scratching up my leg. Yippie! Well, about an hour later, I walked my mom and nieces outside but instead of walking down the stairs, I completely fell… all the way down… I banged up my left arm, which shows my only bruise of this event happening, hurt my right leg, right hip and lower back and later on my right shoulder was in the worst pain ever! So, needless to say, I didn’t sleep very well Saturday night and Sunday was no picnic. Yesterday was miserable, sitting in a chair for 8 ½ hours (no lunch break… how night) and today I am starting to feel a little better, well, besides a headache that is coming on.

Ugfh!

It’s only 9:15!

Well, other that that exciting mess, nothing much else is going on. Tonight I am donating platelets at the American Red Cross. Sharon is coming with me, so that will be fun! Well, as fun as donating platelets can be, I guess. Hopefully this time they will be able to get the needle in right and leave it alone so I can complete my donation!

Okie dokie, this has been long enough. Until I have nothing else to do at work…

Ta Ta!
