1,2,3 keep it up...
there's no word for today other than great. last night i came home from work early cuz the machine i run was malfunctioning and could have caught fire or something if we kept running it. so i came home after like 2.5 hours of work. i didn't feel like being there at all, i was in a crappy mood and had been spending the past few days on the constant verge of tears so i was excited to go home. think about how i normally am if you know me...for me to be so ready to weep i could almost throw up at any moment is completely abnormal...let alone to be living in that state for like 4 days straight. so coming home from work was more than OK with me.
last night i did a lot of praying and reading my bible and a lot of soul-searching. i knew today would look up. and it did.
my mom called today and said that she had talked to my dad (i called my mom almost in tears yesterday afternoon) and instead of them coming up here to visit for the long weekend this weekend, they were just going to give me the money they'd be spending on gas to let me drive down there to see them and visit my friends at mvnu since they knew i'd enjoy that even more. i just talked to josh on the phone and i'm gonna stop by his place to have lunch with him on my way to mt vernon on friday. SO IF YOU'RE IN THE MT VERNON/COLUMBUS OHIO AREA WE GOTTA HANG OUT THIS WEEKEND!! AND YES, BURNS, I'LL CAUSE SOME MISCHIEF IN THE CAFETERIA FOR YOU!
also, my greatest and longest friend jenny told me today she's been praying a lot lately for me with going back to school and wants to send me some money to help out. she keeps saying it's not a lot and i frankly don't care how much it is...she could sent me 4 cents and i would be ecstatic at the thought and generosity from her heart. jenny has changed my life more than any one person could ever imagine to influence another. without having met her i would seriously not be alive today.
i also did a lot of productive stuff today (including going to the bank in sandals, pajama pants and a white undershirt without having shaved or done my hair yet) and that made me feel good as well. i even cleaned my room!!
then i checked grand rapids gas prices and found where the cheapest gas near me was and went and gave my baby something to drink. you should check out that site and see if they have one for whatever town you live in as well. they seriously rule. scope it out dawg!
right now i've got some rice on to cook to take in for lunch on my break at work and i can honestly say i am in a great mood. so many wonderful things happened today that turned me around from my crappy last week. after getting ditched in the miami airport and almost stranded there, then having every single person i'd had plans with in the last week pulling out on our plans, working long and pretty boring nights at work...i'd had a crappy past few days.
other quick re-caps from today: having a conversation with laura s. about why girls in her dorm don't like her and we realized it's cuz she wears clothes. that's so NOT IN for girls to do these days. then i made this awesome quote "i hate those ruffle skirts everyone is wearing. they only come in one size: skanky" (yes i am prepared for your nasty comments you may leave regarding that statement) and getting invited to a chicken wings and beer get together when i neither eat meat nor drink beer. that really made me laugh.
today ruled. foooo sho'
tomorrow...i make some phone calls that might change my life in huge ways that right now i cannot even fathom.
