Memoirs

Memoirs, as someone put it, are slices of life. They're just a small but significant portion of the whole story. And that's what this is -- snippets of my story.

Ugh

So sinus infection #3 of the year is here. I've learned that sinus infection + tears = headache.

I learned the G chord and the C chord today. I can sorta pick out the tune for "Collide" (Howie Day) and "These Thousand Hills" (Third Day). It's totally exciting. I don't have an obsession with band names with the word "Day" in them. Someone told me that Collide was totally easy to learn so I tried it. And I just like the song "These Thousand Hills."

I had to get a new bed. Heidi took hers so I went on a bed-buying mission on Wednesday. With the exception of school expenses and my car, that is the most money I've ever spent in one day.

My hero boy left me messages last night and tonight. *sigh*

Gonna play guitar some more. Bye loves.

Spring Break isn't all that it implies

I say this because when people have breaks, they normally would have a reprieve from all the crap that they normally have going on. Not me.... Check out what's going on this week:

Friday, 3/9
Work, class, homework, FOTP

Saturday, 3/10
Work, music practice, homework, meeting

Sunday, 3/11
Practice/church, homework, clean room, laundry

Yes, I made a list of each day's activities....

Monday, 3/12
Work, homework, finish laundry, meeting, call Tony

Tuesday, 3/13
Exercise, work, oil change, lunch with kids' mom, go to the bank, get perscription filled, work on budget, balance checkbook, finish My Antonia, talk to Tony

Wednesday, 3/14
Exercise, work, study for Psych, taxes, revise story (maybe meet a friend)

Thursday, 3/15
Exercise, work, meeting, haircut, practice, study psych, (maybe get together with my pals)

Friday, 3/16
Exercise, work, meeting, study Psych, FOTP

Saturday, 3/17
Exercise, work, (practice?) study Psych, meeting, write a story

Sunday, 3/18
(Practice??) Church, study Psych, read story and write a response, laundry

Sound exciting?

So I looked at my classes for the fall and all three I need are offered. They don't conflict with each other time-wise either. Yippee-skippy. Problem is that it's only 10 credits and I need 12 to be full-time. There isn't a whole lot on the list that I'm interested in taking just for fun. Maybe I could do a music one again...

In the summer, I'm going to be working 2-3 days at DQ and 2-3 days with the girls. It's going to be awesome. That's like 36 hours a week between the two jobs. Yikes -- I'll be able to pay some serious bills!

Speaking of work, yes, I am working 6 days a week. I have been scheduled 6 days a week for the past 3 weeks now, but I haven't actually gotten to work that much because the weather was bad one week and my car broke. (That week I only worked 1-1/2 days out of 6....) But usually it's only 2 hours a day so it's not terrible. This week I'm working 24 hours rather than 12 because of Spring Break.

The week has been nice. I have time to get stuff done that I have been putting off -- like meetings and talking to people and taxes and haircuts and that sort of thing. It's weird how just cleaning and organizing your room can make so much difference....

So, someone should like leave a comment or e-mail me or something. Because I love you and I haven't heard from anyone in ages....
*Hugs*
