Wednesday

I have nothing to write but I want to write :( This is usually how my blogs go. I never have anything terribly profound to say. I just enjoy freewriting. We used to use that as an exercise in English class growing up and I loved it. It was a way I could express myself. Just write continuous thoughts without lifting your pen off the paper and never stop writing. Even if you have nothing to say write blah blah blah until a thought comes to mind on the subject. I enjoy my personal freewriting better because there is no one subject. I can just float from one topic to the next and that's what I'm doing now. Just floating. My thoughts, though, can be VERY random so perhaps floating is not an appropriate word... who knows. I just ate a piece of apple cheesecake! It was difficult to tell what it was exactly but it tasted like apple cheesecake sorta. We got a bunch of desserts for free yesterday from a new resteraunt that opened up recently in the area. I think it was their way of promoting themselves, which we enjoyed! Which reminds me- this morning I had a novel thought. I woke up to put my contacts in and realized how (argghh I can't remember the brand I use)....the company whose contact solution I use... I realized how they scam everyone. I've always wondered why the solution just pours out of the bottle, even when I tip the bottle ever so slightly. Today it dawned on me...they make more money that way! People run out sooner and have to purchase more of their product sooner than if they had produced the product in a more efficient manner. I really do think that they planned this out. Every morning I just get aggravated because it literally comes out like crazy while I'm attempting to only get a few drops. I probably lose about 3 tablespoons of my solution every morning. But this realization only means I'll get a different brand next time. I should probably get back to work. It seems that lately the only breaks I've been taking are my "blogging" breaks. And I better drink some water- somehow that brightens my days.

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red Riding Hood is skipping thru the forest road
when she sees the big bad wolf crouched down behind a log.
'My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf.'
The wolf jumps up and runs away.

Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again
and this time he is crouched behind a bush.
'My what big ears you have, Mr. Wolf.'
Again the wolf jumps up and runs away.

About 1/4 mile down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again
and this time he is crouched down behind a rock.
'My what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf.'
With that the wolf jumps up and screams, 'Will you knock it off, I'm trying to poop!'

Work!

So I am sitting here in the office waiting for my coworkers to get back. I have a million and five things to get done but they all involve me not being in the office. I feel sorta frazzled at the moment. I have to go out and collect raffle donations from different businesses which requires me not being here; I have to complete building inspections, which requires me not being here; I have to check vacant units to make sure the caretakers cleaned them well, which requires me not being in here; I have to go check certain carpets and walls to see if they need to be replaced, cleaned, or repainted; I have to run to Office Depot to get supplies for turns; I have to run to Office Max to get office supplies. I have to assign the upcoming move-outs to caretakers and send them checklists, I have to complete SODA paperwork on move-outs, I have to write up violation letters, I have to figure out why certain residents owe small balances and fix accounts, I have to complete 'renewal' paperwork, I have to schedule painting and carepet cleaning. And the list goes on and on... AJKDHFOSHLSSLFJL! Anyways, on top of that I'm hungry. Why am I writing this? Because it helps me relieve stress and gives me a break, which I haven't taken yet.

On the other side of life (the part NOT involving work) it was great seeing everyone at Bible Study last night!! I feel like Jason and I have lately been so disconnected. We'll work on that- weekends should be less busy from now on.

My Friday Feelings

I am drinking yummy cappuchino and eating a scrumpteous glazed donut. I am very sad my brother is reniging (is that how you spell it?) on our Arizona skydiving escapade. I am so glad it's Friday. Excited to go to Rochester this weekend. Love my husband dearly. Do not want babies ANYTIME soon. Wish I wasn't at work right now. Wish time didn't go by so fast. Miss my grandparents. Love the new carpet in our office. Wish I drank more water more often. Wish I exercised more often. Had a blast with Jenn Porter last night. I love my husband and I WANT TO GO SKYDIVING.

I hate bugs.

Small Towns/Weekends

I love small towns! ...Though not too small. Jason and I have had so much fun these past two weekends. It's been great just getting away from the Cities for a change. This past weekend we went up North to Bemidji and had a great weekend spending time with my dad up there. It was a busy weekend and Jason got bit by a spider and we both got mesquito bites, but we had a blast nonetheless. We got new furniture!! Dad makes this amazing bent willow furniture that sells for a lot of money at Nature/Log Cabin stores and we got a gorgeous chair as a gift from him along with two beautiful inn tables and twig signs. Only God knows how we were able to haul all these things to the Cities yesterday in our car! It was funny because we strapped the chair to the roof of our car. We must have been a site. But yay, our apartment is more filled up with beautiful stuff! Sooo exciting :)

We decided that as soon as we are able to get our loans paid off (which is our aim right now), then we are going to move further South, hopefully to a smaller town and warmer area. THEN we may start thinking about having kids. But that'll be a few years out :) I love where we are in life right now but I have realized that I strongly desire smaller town living. Nature is beautiful and people tend to be nicer and more down to earth.

Of course, time will only tell how jobs come and how life will play out, but these are tentative plans for the future, God willing. This coming weekend we are headed to Rochester to visit Jason's family then perhaps we'll have a weekend to ourselves :)
