I feel like talkin'.

Yesterday

I didn't spend as much time with Gabby as I had wanted, but I think we both had a good day anyway. I slept for about three hours in the afternoon and Gabby played with friends and just relaxed. It was a much needed, very good for us, mental health day.

I dropped Gabby off at her dad's kind of early, and then came home to be lazy again. P-Dub showed up after the work and the gym and had dinner with Carolyn and Scott at Champ's...which turned into a much longer night than anticipated. Easy to do at Champ's since it's not just food. It was really nice, though. We sat outside and had a few beers. Lots of conversation. And, the live band was amazing. They were playing Ray Lamontagne!!! I couldn't believe it! I love him, and NO ONE plays that stuff in San Antonio.

It was good hanging with my sis. I don't do that very much these days. Between work, Gabby, P-Dub, Andrea, and my unfocused, ADHD laziness I tend to get too caught up and not catch up with people I need to.

Today

P-Dub and I were up super early this morning. Seven thirty I think. He went into work for a couple of hours. I got gas, some breakfast, and went to the bank. Now I'm just killing time till he leaves work and then we'll take my car in for some much needed TLC, go to the gym, and then I think we're doing a little shopping today. I need some perfume, and he needs some T-shirts. There are some other things I'm supposed to do today, but I can't think of all of them right now. I need to be writing this crap down!!! Oh, I need to drop off some prescriptions I think, and go back to the bank because I forgot a birthday check from my uncle on the table. Of course. Forgetful, forgetful me.

We only had a few beers last night, but it just takes me so long to recover from any amount of alcohol these days. I feel yucky!!! I should just stick to one glass of wine. Knocks me out and I don't feel bad. I really shouldn't be drinking hardly at all with all the meds I'm on either.

Andrea's House

Last night Andrea texted me and said she got the house she put an offer on the day before! I'm really excited for her. I know she's really looking forward to this, and she definitely needs something good in her life. Her dad just had surgery this past week for esophigeal cancer (I know I horribly misspelled that!) He came through the surgery great and now she'll be a home owner. As much as she pretends not to be, she's extremely domestic, and I know it's been hard on her to live with her partents and not get to cook, garden, etc.

Funny, though, she asked if I would ever even go to her house. I don't know. I have such an issue with that. P-Dub said that when he gets his own place I'll have to go stay there sometimes...and I said I didn't think so. I just love being in my own place. Hate going to others.

Gabby is in junior high!!!

August is almost here and it will be very, very busy. Gabby starts junior high! Can you believe it???!!! I can't. We have an orientation at her new (very BIG) school on the 14th, and there will be lots and lots of shopping, etc. to do. I'm a little worried because her school is in a very upscale district. All the reviews I've read online from parents and students say the same things. "The school is awesome academically. Very, very tough socially." Apparently the cliques are really bad with all the really rich, beautiful kids and their designer clothes. I hope my "hot topic" girl will be able to hold her own. She's such a good hearted kid. I just don't want her to be teased or anything. But, she'll be ok. She's pretty tough sometimes and she's never had problems making friends before. In fact, she's always been very popular. But, junior high is tough! Things change.

Jess' Baby

And, then comes the beginning of September when I get to hold Jessica and Eric's new little bundle of joy. I can't wait!!!! I don't think I'll be able to put it down. Yes "it"! Since they refuse to find out the sex! I really want her to have a girl, but I found this onesie I really want to get them and it would be better if it was a boy. Just for that reason. Maybe it can be a boy for one day to wear it. I'll be there for about 4 days. P-Dub better watch out when I come home! My 32 year old body can't get that biological clock to stop ticking!! Even though my mind is like, "Remeber being up every two hours? NO SLEEP!? Diapers? One year walking? Potty training???!!!" Awww....but all that stuff is really great too. I know P-Dub really wants to be a dad...once he's married, etc....the right way. Will that be with me? Who knows? It would be really great, though.

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...
WTF? God, I feel great. I am a typical cancer (please refer back to this ). "At times you will seem to have the greatest love for life, yet at others you can be nothing but a self-pitying mess. You can be pleasant and cheerful, or you can be egotistical and vain." Yep, that's me! So, now comes the part where I have a great love of life. And isn't it sad that it stems from feeling secure that someone likes me? One final down...3 more to go! I can't wait for this semester to be over. It has been really hard. Really it was last Spring semester that was really hard, and almost killed me...and that semester seems to have put me in burnout mode for this past semester. But, next semester is new, and will probably kill me with how busy I'll be since I go back to work full-time in the Spring...but as much as I complain...I like being busy, busy, busy! Off to see Aaron the Beast in a couple of hours. Didn't have time to shave my legs this morning. ...

I just spilled coffee all over my keyboard...

Friday I did it. I went up to where my sister works and took all the testing for their clerical positions. They don't let you apply for any of the jobs until you do the testing so they can see what you qualify for. I qualified for the highest clerical position. Senior Secretary, so I applied for a lot of those. I would really, really like for this job opportunity to work out. It would mean I could stay in SA, I could have lunch with my sister during the week, I would be paid well, and I would have the opportunity to go back to school and get a degree in something a little more specific. What exactly, I don't know. I can specialize my Geography degree more by getting certified in GIS because I'm already mostly there, or I would really like to do something more along the lines of biology, physiology, or maybe even geology. Something with a little more scientific background instead of cultural. Anyhoo...it's a great opportunity. Keep your fingers crossed! After ...
