Cookies and Corona
Sometimes it really bothers me how much I suck at all things creative.
Yesterday I got that itch, the one that will only go away if you bake something. So I pondered all through work what I was going to do and I think I finally settled on Halloween (my fav. holiday) sugar cookies. I bought supplies today while I was out running errands, though it took all my willpower to not just buy EVERYthing Halloween (okay, so not that hard, I just had to look at my near-empty wallet). Hopefully I can whip the dough up tomorrow before work, then cut/bake/decorate Saturday if I have no other plans. Or...maybe I can start tomorrow night after work, if I'm not too tired, and let my nieces help.
That would be fun...stupid work.
I had to work all of Nikki's shifts this week because she f'd up her back or something. So I closed like every night. Which means swanky paycheck for me in two weeks!
I opened a new bank account today (so that I actually have one in the area...yeah I thought that would be handy). The lady was suuuper nice, like beyond so. It was refreshing. And her last name is Corona, like the beer, as she felt to remind me.
But, this means I can almost scratch off another thing on my list. I should be debt-free within the month. Then I can start saving for that car.
After a long absence, I called Brittany first thing this morning and we ended up talking for about an hour. It was a MAJOR relief as things seem to have done a 180 for her. Yay!
And then, later that afternoon I ran into her mom at the grocery store. And we talked for a long time.
We talked about Brandon's plans to hike the Appalachian trail again. That still blows my mind, but I'm really excited for him! I wish I were in shape enough/could just drop everything to do it with him. The company would be awkward, but walking the trail is on my list of things I'd like to do in my lifetime.
It's weird, talking to everyone I'm finding a pattern. Apparently if you date me your life will suck for a little bit, but then it will get really good. It kind of pisses me off. lol I want to date me, then maybe things will look up.
