Is it Friday yet? NOPE!

Monday

Today was Monday, and BOY OH BOY it was a MON-Day. You know, the kind of Monday that gives other Mondays a bad name. The kind that makes you want to cry when bedtime on Sunday night rolls around. YEAH. One of those. 

While I was in college, I worked full-time at a bank inside of Wal-Mart. We were open seven days a week, 8 am to 7 pm everyday except Sundays when we were open 10 am to 4 pm. It was a great job for me through school, because I was able to work full-time, but always be off by 7pm. Pretty sweet. The thing that ALWAYS bummed me out at that job was working weekends. I would especially dread Sundays. I suppose because I figure if I'm out of bed and dressed, I should at least get 8 hours of credit for it. One of the things I looked forward to the most about graduating was working Mon-Fri, 8-5. Like "normal" people, ya know? Well, now here I am, 8ish months past graduation, wishing that I could spread out my 40 hour work week over SEVEN weekdays rather than hum-drum 8-5 Mon-Fri. Yes, I recently started my grad program, and yes this is influencing my opinion, but I have come to the conclusion that when I do have weekends off with no plans, I TOTALLY waste them. Lately I have spent them doing some homework and spending some time with hubby, but I don't think it fully makes up for the fact that when I get home from work Mon-Fri around 5:30, I spend the rest of the night doing school stuff until bed time. 

Long story short, I guess I'm learning that old saying about the grass being greener is totally true, and MAYBE, just maybe, I NEED to learn to love my life WHEN it's happening...and stop trying SO hard to be in control of said life. This is me, people, learning and growing! :)

U Tube

Two posts in one day. I'm officially addicted. Or just avoiding the tons tons TONS of school work that I'm behind on. ANYWAY-

I'm in love with youtube, and I think you should be too. So, I'm going to share some of the coolest things I have found (or been lead to) on there.

Here goes:

This video is of some kids in a ballet class doing Soulja Boy. It just makes me smile.

Then, there is this whole channel called Food Rants. My former youth pastor started it, and I just think he is hilarious. Almost as funny as his wife! So, check it out.

Okay, that is it for now. Let me know what your favorite youtube picks are.

So, lately I have been wanting to work on making our house look nicer. The only thing is, we have a budget. This budget is something like $0. :) Just kidding. But mostly I'm trying not to spend any money. I have been able to find a couple of new things that I think are going to spruce it up in here. I have purchased a new paisley shower curtain from Target. I love paisley! I also got some cute new curtains from Urban Outfitters for the living room. They are at urbanoutfitters.com and they are called Gesabel. Anyway, I'll post pics once I put them up in the house because apparently I'm unable to copy/paste pictures from the net.
