Today
-Brought the corolla in to get the windows tinted. We brought it home and it's already peeling off the back window (which they had to do twice). It has a lifetime guarantee (as long as we're the owners) so it's fine..it just means we have to bring it in again.
-Brought the paseo in to get an estimate on a paint job. That took a while but long story short..we left it there and will have it back in 3-5 days. Because of money and the fact that if it gets scratched it will look dumb, we're getting it red again. But I chose a red that's almost the same but slightly prettier..and metallic. So yay.
-Went to Mimi's Cafe for dinner with Ruben and Charmae. It was lots of fun, I love them. Charmae has the exact same car as us (minus the sunroof) so our car got to meet it's twin.
My thoughts and doubts
Ok so we still don't know if this is for sure or not but Brad was tentatively offered the position of store manager in a city an hour north of here. I'm assuming he'll find out at work tomorrow if this is a go or not. So we need to figure out if he's going to take it or not, not knowing if it's certain. I don't want to type out all the pros and cons of this because I've been thinking and thinking about it and I'm tired of it. I know a promotion sounds good..but then there's the fact that we just signed a lease that keeps us in this apartment for the next seven months. That's seven months of Brad driving two hours every day on a busy road, two extra hours that he's gone, plus I see him on his lunch now, so that would be gone too. Then there's the Sprint job..I wish I knew now if I was going to get it or not. Plus Brad's school is here and friends and family are here. There are good things to be said about going too. And there are more factors I don't feel like getting into. But the more we talk about it the more we don't know what to do.
The more I don't know what to do the more it overwhelms me.
This is one of those times where you wish God would lean down and say "Hey...go for this option!"
When you think about everything you end up thinking "Buh! Let's just stay here". But is that stupid? I don't know! I'm waiting for the lightening bolt of clarity to hit me. I don't think it's going to.
My certainty
I do know that the most important thing is being with Brad. The more I'm with him the more I love him and whatever we do we're doing it together. Whatever way we go, neither one is the right or wrong decision. I kind of hope we'll find out that the old manager's not going to be fired and we won't have to worry about this yet, but I don't think that's likely.
Less important things
We forgot to tape Friends tonight :( I think it was the second last one so that sucks. I just watched the Smallville that I taped...it was pretty good but not as good as the commercial made it look. It was the first time Smallville made me teary eyed though. Everwood has gotten sooo much better..I'm actually enjoying it again.
We were talking with Ruben and Charmae about going to San Diego in June. That would be wonderful...who knows if it'll actually happen but it's a nice thought. We'll see.
I'm pretty much just writing now because if I go to bed I'll just think about how we're so undecided. How fun.
Oh well..I'd rather be beside Brad feeling uncertain than sitting here by myself. So night night :)
1.Go into your LJ's archives.
2.Find your 23rd post (or closest to).

4.Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
I'm not feeling very..writey (it's a word now..shut up) so I'm gonna nab a survey from someone else's lj and fill that out instead :)
