It's Sunday and I'm sitting here with half of my house cleaned pondering what it is I would like to do next. I need to finish cleaning my house. But I've done enough that I can feel accomplished even if I stop now. I have a season of House that I need to watch. I need to finish the book I'm currently reading. Also, I could make a video for betweenusfriends. I would like to take a bath. See the problem? There are simply too many options. This is how it usually works. I have so much to do but don't know where to start. Plus, most of it isn't time sensitive which makes it easy to procrastinate. So, I figured I would blog until I made a decision. It's been awhile. Although I did just post two new blogs today but they were from awhile back. I typed them up on my ipod and they sat on there for quite a while!

Last weekend I was sick :( but not just the normal coughing and stuffed up sick. I woke up with a fever of 102 on Saturday morning. I am hardly ever sick! It was not fun. I hate being that sick. At one point in the middle of Saturday I wanted to die. Thats how bad it was. Definitely not something I like to experience. yuck. But, now I am feeling much better.

Yesterday I went to a conference type thing for work. They had a bunch of vendors and a few different talks. It was pretty fun. At least as far a classes go. Although some of it was a little cheesy. The guy who was teaching the classes was a life coach so he was very upbeat but sometimes it was a little over the top. But hey, I'm not complaining. I got my 6 credits for only $11 and I'm done for the year. Usually 2 credits cost around $20. So, it was a great money saver.

I also went to see Lovely Bones last night. It was pretty much what I expected as far as the plot line went. Although, I'm not sure how I feel about the ending yet. I definitely want to read the book to see how they differ. I always have a dilemma when it comes to this choice. Do I read the book first and be disappointed by the movie? Or do I see the movie first and then not feel all that compelled to read the book all the way through because I know (basically) what's going to happen? I still can't decide which I like best. Oh, well.

I'm going to keep a counter going at the end of my blog about what book # I'm on. One of my goals this year is to read 40 books!

Books Read:2

*sigh*

This morning my mom came over so I could help her with a baby shower game. On the way over she noticed she had a flat. I had to go pick her up. Having a flat can't be fun. Although I wouldn't know from first hand experience. I've never had one. At least it only cost her fifteen dollars to get it fixed.
I love helping with baby shower stuff. I love kids (especially babies) and enjoy planning these things. Plus,as my mom put it, it was an excuse to spend time with her. all I did was cut some squares though. And I had to get up earlier than i normally would have. So that kind of sucked.
Now i'm babysitting. Which is nice. I've had both of these kids in my class and the little girl I had as a baby. She's one of my favorites. But i'm feeling awfully lonely. This always happens when I get to spend lots of time with my friends and then they go back to school. Plus my best friend just called me and I couldn't talk cause I'm babysitting. Also my mom was teasing me about her never having grandkids. She does this all the time. It never used to bug me but now it kind of stings. It's not my fault I'm not in a relationship. If my life was perfectly how I wanted it than I would be married And have children. But life isn't perfect and hardly ever goes according to plan. Does she think I'm purposefully not finding someone just so she can't have grandkids? Sheesh! my pack of love life most definitely does not revolve around her. It's ridiculous how much little comments like that hurt. I know it was just meant to be a joke. But it's not funny. Add this to the fact that literally everyone I am close to is in a relationship and it makes for one lonely me. *sigh* but such is my life.
And now this blog has turned into a "poor me" story. Moving right along... This new year is going to be a good one. This last year has been a transition year for me and although I have no idea what my future holds I am ready for something new. I do not make resolutions, however I do set goals. I have some good ones this year. One of them is to read 40 books this year. So now, in order to end off on a good note, I am going to go read.
P.s. I hate the fact that when I get ready in 15 minutes and have no one to see except the kids I'm babysitting I look cute. But If I had somewhere to be tonight I would undoubtedly not looks as cute. Stupid.
EDIT: This was also put up late due to me typing it up on my ipod.

a week into the new year

A week has passed in the new year and I still haven't written a blog post! Or made a vlog for that matter. But I did just film one in my car on my lunch break. It's obviously going to be a winner. It's one of those look at the past year and set goals for the new year videos. Which I think is important because you've told people and feel more obligated to reach your goals. But the video is kind of rushed and late. Oh well. It's the story of my life. I am notorious for procrastinating. I driven by goals and deadlines. Otherwise I don't accomplish things. Hence the neccesity of fore-mentioned vlog.
I'm writing this at work and for the life of me, I can't remember when I last blogged. Probably not a good sign. So to cover all my bases I'll just recap a little.
Christmas was good this year. I enjoyed my family tile and only got a little sad once. That's really good for me! Which in and of it's self is a little sad. But we won't dwell on it. I don't. It was a little weird having Christmas dinner at someone else's house. My parents have become pretty good friends with a family of my mom's coworker. That sentence was udderly confusing but hopefully you got it. I don't know this family all that well but I've seen them a few times. It wasn't awkward really. Just different.
We also saw Sherlock Holmes on Christmas which I thought was really good! I like when characters are bad asses because of their brain power. On a side note I also saw Avatar recently. The animation in it was really awesome. I do, however think the storyline is a mix of Pocahontas and Fern Gully.
New Year's eve was a ton of fun! I did a fondue party house because I got a fondue pot for Christmas. It actually turned out better than I thought it was going to. I'd seen fondue made before but never actually made it myself. It was delicious! We rang in the New Year with champagne and played some board games. There's nothing better than being surrounded by your closest friends. So much fun!
This last week has been filled with getting used to my new work schedule and returning to the pre-k classroom. It's very different from infants and takes awhile to adjust. But all is going well!
EDIT: I wrote this on my ipod and e-mailed it and yes, it is up late!
