Today was a day off! Yay! So I didn't do a whole lot, but I got a lot more done than I normally do on days off. I started out by calling Steven, and I left a message. I guess I will come back to this later since it's a whole different story. I started working on laundry and I got the dishes done too. I had a ton of papers to shred after the big search for chuch, so I did that (and took out three bags of garbage!). I got two new frames at work yesterday (75% off) and fixed the broken frame and replaced one other one. That took longer than I thought it would! Later, I went by church and changed some posters related to the search and then went by my dad's. We went to IHOP as usual. We would have gone to Ivar's but the traffic was heavier than normal in that direction. When we got back to his place we had this idea about taking some of the wood from the building of the apartments he's doing. That way, I would have some would to burn this winter. I loaded up the van with what was there (they had to be small pieces) and took them over to my apartment. I had to move some things around in the storage closet, but I got it all set. I will get some more on Sunday, maybe. It will be cool to not have to worry about wood for the fireplace! On my way back I stopped at Rite Aid and got some new towels (not why I stopped) that were really cheap and they are nice. I spent over $60 for new towels and I found out they sucked...and I spent all of $12 on these ones or something and they are at least as good. Makes me mad about those other ones, but they are so used now I could never take them back. Since then I've been on the computer or watching TV. I had to do some folding too...I played match game interative and I got my name on the TV! It was pretty cool. I've chatted with Diane (broken computer), Lucho (moving), and Allen (had a date with another guy). Earlier I talked with Chris (has attachement disorder for Allen) and Lindsey (likes a guy but he lives too far away and she doesn't have a car to use).
Now I am watching Jimmy Kimmel and the new towels are tumbling in the dryer...fans are on too. I also taped an hour of loveline tonight so I will have a complete set for the trips coming soon! The chatty with Diane proved she is ready to get out of NO. I am ready to rest on the train, but that's the last part of the trip! First, our new pastor visits...then it's off to Portland, and then I fly from Portland to Houston and then to New Orleans (NO). After hanging out there for a few days, Diane and I will hop the train to Chi-town where we'll switch to another train from there to Seattle. Sheesh, when I get back from that it's back to work! Oh, I almost forgot, I called White River today about a job, and again, there was no answer! This time i left a message. I hope this one works out, I haven't seen anything else coming through that i'd even be able to do. I need to get on the stick and do some of the stuff I keep forgetting about...like updating my placement file at PLU and doing more research on add on endorsement (social studies).
So now back to Steven. He was in Idaho last week (we hung out before he left) and he called me on Sunday night. After I wrapped at work (10:30) he came over and we watched a ton of Queer as Folk. He'd never seen it and now I think he's addicted. Maybe not, but he really likes Everwood, so it isn't totally out of line. He stayed the night. Actually, he stayed the day since we went to bed so late. I didn't have to work until 2, so that was no big deal...the next day (Tuesday) though, I had to work at 7 a.m. and i didn't know if I was going to make it (I was soooooooooo tired), but I did. Anyway, back to Steven. He was supposed to call me 'sometime'--which I thought meant some time Tuesday--and let me know what his schedule is for the rest of the week (I told him I had Tuesday night off, all of Wednesday and Thursday). As of now (12:23 a.m. on Thursday!), he hasn't called, and yet I called him once last night and then once early today. The main thing is that he comitted to going to a movie on Friday, but I don't know what time he has to work or anything so we still need to figure that out. I work until 5:30 so I figured I would pick him up or something, but I need to know before then! I am such a planner...I just can't handle not knowing what's going on.
Tomorrow i hope to get more done on the big 'to do' list I built this morning. I might even call Shonda and see if she wants to do dinner or something(unless Steven comes around). I really need to vacuum, and now that laundry is done that should be possible. I need to hit the grocery store one of these days soon...and do some cleaning in the bathroom (the floor is getting gross!). I hope Steven calls tomorrow...I just can't handle this suspense (I am such a lightweight). I will probably call tomorrow night--one more time--since it will be the 'last chance' for Friday. I'm also worried because I will be working like crazy next week and then gone for nearly two, so there will not be much down time, if Steven's even interested any more (who knows! I speculate in my head so much!).
I think I'll finish my cherry 7*up and go to bed...after I do a little more folding...
