"I'm not an idolater, but I totally worship Mr. Clean."
Just a short blip blog...I've been cleaning the apartment a little bit at a time so that there won't be so much to clean when we move. I went to the store and bought some of those Magic Eraser sponges by Mr. Clean. I had never used them before and was shocked at how well they actually worked. I definitely love the sponges with the Febreeze side, they make everything smell so nice.So, yeah....I totally love Mr. Clean. Those sponges kick trash!

"You can't get something from nothing"
Alrighty. So...things are going O.K. for me and Pat. Except for the fact that I ended my internship and don't have a job and Pat has a six-week field camp class and can't work. I am currently sick with a cold (This year I have been sick so often it makes me angry!) and have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. So we are both jobless and still have bills to pay. What fun for us. AND I just found out yesterday that my great grandmother died.
However, to put a positive spin on things, Me and Pat got all As and Bs this semester and our landlord is the greatest guy ever. I really hope in the future that we have landlords that are as cool as ours.
This summer we had planned on going down to visit with Pat's fam in Cali for a week, but I'm not so sure we'll be able to afford it. I hate this we-don't have-the-money phase. I wasn't able to attend my cousins wedding, I won't be able to attend my great grandmother's funeral, and we both won't be able to see Pat's family for another 7 months...maybe.
I so badly want to be done with this phase of my life but know that I can't get the things I want in the future if I don't work hard and earn them now. It's all about give and take. As my husband says, "You can't get something from nothing." I loe my husband but I hate philosophizers. ;-)

Another Year
Okay. I have decided to push back my graduation date until April of 2010. Another year. Ugh. I just don't have the finances to go for the summer. It stinks. On the bright side, I'll get more work experience this way. But I have such a huge load of classes that I still need to take. It makes me wonder what the hell I've been doing this past year. Sitting on my ass apparently. Whatev.
So I had a complete breakdown. Went ballistic and kept crying and all that good stuff. I think it was due. I've never had one before anyway. Pat is so sweet and just grins and bears it. An then tells me, "It's because you can't control the future. Before we got married you didn't have to worry about anything but working. Now you have to worry about me, work, school, and life in general and you can't control any of those things." My dad had said to me a few months ago, "If YOU did everything YOU could, then there's nothing to worry about. YOU can only control what YOU do and as long as YOU do everything YOU possibly can, you'll be fine. Relax. "
So...I've taken the metaphorical "chill pill" and tried not to worry about the things I can't control. It's so hard, cuz if you really knew me, I like to have everything planned out and organized. And you can't really plan or organize the future.
