Let's Play Catch-Up!!!
Whew! There are so many things I have to share with you all, it isn't even funny, LOL! First of all, and most importantly (because I know you all are so concerned ;)) I did find a coke! I ended up at the Tom Thumb near Jess's apartment, which was closed (of course) so I had to go back to the maze of one-ways and figure out how to get to the SA, at which point I was able to find and buy not one but TWO cokes for $2. All in all, I wasted a ton of gas that night but I saved a whole $0.58 so it was worth it. :D
Today I got an application for the Kelly Inn. I worked as a front desk receptionist a few years ago and I loved it. I wouldn't mind working at a hotel again. I also have an application for Barnes & Noble and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Jess and I wandered around Crossroads Mall and found a Bath & Body Works. You cannot possibly know how psyched I am about this! Until yesterday, I thought St. Cloud was perfect except for the lack of a Bath & Body Works and then I found one! *yippee*
We (J and I) met my grandparents at the Olive Garden last night. Have I mentioned how much I love cheese and noodles, no matter how simple or complex the food? I am in love with cheese and noodles!
At one of the pet stores there, kittens are for sale for $129 and marked down to $99. They are for sale for $20 at the pet stores in GR. :/
I found an apartment that I absolutely love! Well, I looked at a two-bedroom (and I'm getting a one-bedroom) because the one bedrooms were occupied and one was a mess and the other one, the tenants didn't pick up the phone and you know, you can't just walk in to an occupied apartment (go figure). Still, the two-bedroom was bright and airy...I love bright rooms. It's nice because the one I'd be renting is on the first-floor (never been on the first-floor before). I'm looking forward to it. :D
I went to St. Cloud State and spoke to the people in financial aid so I know what I have to do. I also got my transcript evaluation form. I do think there are a couple classes that should be able to be carried over at SCSU so I'll need to get proof that Signs of the Times was actually an English course. *eyeroll* It's all politics, isn't it? Well, I'm going to register for classes tonight online. Registering for classes is so much fun! I just love registering, LOL. I do not know why. :p
Brandon and I spoke last night and he said some things to me that he's never really said before. I feel he was being more open with me than he ever has been before. He was at a friend's house last night. Said friend, Heather (I know her - they grew up together, she's lovely and is nothing to worry about) broke up with her boyfriend six days ago after he cheated on her with a high-schooler. Apparently, Heather was talking to Brandon about how she felt about John and Brandon realized, "Oh my God. We're adults." In other words, he finally realized it was time for him to grow up. He told me that up until that point in time, he had been only trying to have fun and do whatever he wants but now he realized he wants love and happiness in his life and maybe, with time he'll want marriage and children, too. He told me he wants these things with me. *sigh*
I want to let you all know that I am treading this path with a heavy foot. I want to take things slowly. Though, I have a feeling he'll be coming with me to St. Cloud. I think we both feel a new start will be the best thing for us.
I have forgive Brandon for this (and even for sleeping with her...they slept together twice, by the way -- I know this is too much info, but whatever -- he said sleeping with her was the biggest mistake he's ever made) and I feel eventually I can 'forget' about this. For those of you who have told me to give him hell, I have to laugh because that's what his mom said. Then there are those of you who reminded me to be careful and not push too hard and I nod, because again his mother told me to be sure to just never mention this again after, like, two weeks.
There were times when I was talking to him, he would say, "I am willing to spend the rest of my life trying to make this up to you. I know I have a lot of apologizing to do." He's right: he does have a lot of apologizing to do. If he's willing to put in the time and the effort though, I'd be willing to listen.
My parents are being really great about this. :) They are willing to 'rebuild the circle of trust.' My dad loves Meet the Parents, have I mentioned that? I think if we can make it past this, things will be good, even better than before. I'm trying to keep a clear head about this.
I don't know if I'll get around to replying to everyone's replies to my second-to-the-last entry until later, simply because I have a bunch of stuff I need to get done first. :) Though I do hope you all are having a great evening! OK, I'm going to go register for classes now. :D
Toodles!
