(no subject)
I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post... it's crazy how time just seems to fly these days! Work has been pretty busy with two trainings in Indy, working an extra Saturday, not having my usual days off, etc. I'm surviving... things are picking up for our Back-to-College transition and I won't lie, I'm grateful that I'm going to be transferring to my new store just in time to miss all the real craziness. At the same time, I'm sad that I only have a few more weeks at my store with my coworkers, and in Bloomington in general. I don't think it's really hit me yet that a month from now I won't be living in Bloomington anymore. I'm definitely excited, it just doesn't seem real that I'll be leaving the place I've lived in for the better part of the past 9 years.
Meanwhile, I have a LOT of work to do to be ready to move. I've been bringing home boxes from work but actual packing has yet to happen. And although it never takes as long to pack as I think it will, I do have a lot of stuff and it feels overwhelming to think about moving it all. Now that July is right around the corner, I need to use my days off a little more wisely and get things done.
One thing I am really excited about (other than being close to Adam, of course) is my new apartment. I've mentioned that I'm going to have a lot more space and I think I know what I'm doing with most of it. I will be "re-doing" my bathroom with a new shower curtain, rugs, towels, etc., most of which I've purchased already. The futon broke a few weeks ago so I've started shopping around online for a matching couch and chair/loveseat, and I'll probably go look in person sometime this weekend while I'm in Indy. I want to get some barstools for the bar in the kitchen, while the rest of my dining room will probably be turned into an office with my desk and bookshelves. Chloe will reside in either the dining room/office or the living room. I've decided not to buy a bigger bed because I won't need one at all once I move into the condo with Adam next year. Depending on how things go after I get the rest of the furniture, I may finally upgrade to a larger HDTV and use the smaller one I have now as my bedroom tv or just get rid of it entirely, and I'm in the process of deciding on a new cell phone (leaning toward the new IPhone 3GS at the moment), but those are both a lot farther down on the priority list. Slowly but surely my apartment is maturing. :)
Anyway, for now I'm just hoping to make it through the week. Saturday is my birthday so I am naturally more excited than usual for the weekend to get here. I got a package from my parents today (thank you!) and I will be getting my super secret mystery gift from Adam on Friday when I get into town. Saturday we were planning on the zoo but I suspect it will be too hot, so our backup plan is to see a movie and go shopping, followed by dinner at Maggiano's. :) I am so lucky that Adam spoils me, but I am content with just getting to spend time together. Either way, it should be fun.
Alright, this is getting long and I'm losing motivation to continue, but that's a little glimpse of what's been going on with me. How's everyone else doing?
