Life or Something Like It

Things are crazy, as is per usual. And it's a good crazy. I have so much to be grateful. Eric came home last Wednesday--after a 7 hour delay due to the ash cloud and missing 3 connecting flights. Yeah, I was not exactly the happiest camper. I figure I've waited long enough for him. I was not happy to wait even more, even if it was only a day. He came over and took me to lunch. Which gave him mucho points. Then he came over that night to watch a movie and told me all about his trip. I love just sitting there and listening to that man. Seriously, its ridiculous but I know he's not really a talkative person. And I love that he chooses me to share with. (Yeah, twitterpated nausea. I know)

Thursday I began my new adventure of school. That was so not fun. I think I'm insane to be doing this half of the time. But those around me have faith that I can do it and that's what matters really. I must say I am so grateful to my family and boyfriend and friends who all have much more faith in me than I do. It's so nice to have their support because there are so any doubts I have about myself.

Friday I continued with my adventure, but not before I spent sometime with Heather and her boyfriend who has recently come home.

Saturday made me grateful for my life. We visited my Aunt who has recently been diagnosed with a really aggresive form of breast cancer. The thing that amazes me is how optimistic she is. The entire time she told us why she was grateful. And how things were good. She's not naive. But she's grateful for the here and now. It blows my mind. And makes me realize I need to appreciate my health and work to keep myself healthy. I also got to go to a babyshower and see my family. I also got to spend some fabulous time just my mom and me. I love that lady. I honestly would not know what to do without her.
After the baby shower and the family stuff I spray painted my bench that I've been working on. I keep getting these strange misconceptions that I can actually do home improvement and crafts. It always comes up as an adventure. I think though that this adventure will be successful. In fact I feel like most of my house has been successful. I don't know about this craft business though. I wonder if I might get too into it and then I'll forever be looking at things on how I want to change them. But if I ever get brave I'll post pictures of the befores and afters. I think I'm going to like things. But now I need to sew a cover for the seat (it's a hideous 70s material right now) then I think i'm going to move onto my chair. Anywho, moving onward. After painting and decorating I went over to Eric's house and learned how to play Rook then watched a movie.

Sunday was relatively quiet. Church then after a marvelous nap I went over to my family's house. Eric came over, he was a little nervous to see my family but I hope they put him to ease. We baked and then went for a walk. Outside things were fabulous.

Now I'm back to working and going crazy. I really wonder if I haven't gotten myself in too deep. Working, school, and dating. And I'll tell you who comes out on top when I think about those options--okay so my job does. But when it comes to spending time with Eric or doing homework or reading up on such and such theory...well I'm really behind on my schooling. And it's only the first week. This summer thing really wasn't a good idea. I just want to play. *sigh* Oh well. I guess things will work out and it will all be good in the end. But that's it for my life. It's crazy but really my life is pretty idyllic. At least when I stop and think about it. I still have problems but really, who wants to hear about those? (Too bad I tell you anyway huh.) That's my life--or something like it.
