Ever notice how people begin their journals when they haven't written in forever?
"Well, it's been awhile..."
"I don't know when the last time I updated was..."
"I know it's been FOREVER..."
And then they follow up with some excuse about being busy and that's why they haven't updated? I mean, it's not like the person reading doesn't know you haven't updated. Obviously, if they are reading your journal, they are an avid reader anyway. They check it every day, and of course they know when you don't post, because they sit around waiting for you to post. And even if somebody happens to just stumble upon your journal, each post has a date, so if the reader really cared how long it's been since you've posted, then they could look at each date.
Yea, it happens. I'm guilty of it. We all are. That was just a random thought...
Anyway, it's been awhile (I know.. I couldn't help it..). Things are winding down with my family. My sister got her cast off and my dad, although still abstaining from work, is feeling MUCH better. The doctor doesn't want him to go back to work until at least next week, which I know he is more than upset about.. :-P
I am now (and have been) working at the new AMC at Tyson's... I've seen a few familiar faces there, too. It makes me happy. I saw my LeeAnn, Avis, and Andrea all within 2 days and it made me incredibly happy :)
I told Kim awhile ago that I would come and see her when it was her turn to conduct, and I'm trying really hard to keep my word. I really hope that I can get the time off that I need.
I'm participating in an experiment right now, also. It's for two months and I'm getting 6 extra credit points for my psyc class. It's testing the affect(s) of caffeine consumption on PMS. I have to fill out a daily log for the next two months... so it's pretty neat.
I'm also going to begin tutoring in the evenings... helps bring in the cash flow, which is going to be good. I'm thinking about saving up some money to go to the Bahamas in January. Doubt that will happen, but it's something to think about.
Still have to decide where Sean and I are spending Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's this year... I love being in a serious relationship. I feel like I'm really beginning a life with him. We've been living together a few months now, and we have our ups and downs (but mostly ups).. we're saving up money and we're making plans slowly and steadily. I couldn't be any happier.
I miss everybody in PA, though. With school and work, we don't get to go up there very often. I really miss the kids and I want to see them.
I'm working tons this weekend... in the evenings on Friday, Saturday, and Monday... and on Sunday I'm working during the day. Somebody should come and visit me :)
Anyway, Sean has a late class and I have to go and pick him up now. Gotta get up early tomorrow.. I have a TON of things to do.
I miss everybody :(
