Have I ever mentioned that I have the BEST boyfriend in the world? I’ve written a few blogs about wanting my own elliptical before. It just makes life easier to have one at home and if it’s there staring me in the face, I’ll actually use it. Otherwise, I can make a million excuses about why I can’t go to the gym. Well, my boyfriend was looking at ellipticals the other day and got one for me!! It’s my early birthday present! I must say, life is good!
Sad as it is, I’ve developed my mother’s sense of direction. As I’ve said before, I just moved. I know where most of the major things are, but after that I’m lost. This week, I tried to take my car in for an oil change. The place was literally two turns from my work. I got there just fine. However, when I was leaving, I got all turned around. It took me a half an hour to find my way back to the main road. It’s times like those that I’m jealous of people who already have gps tracking in their cars.
While I love my job now, it was stressful process of starting and figuring everything out at first. So,I decided to treat myself after a really long week. It seemed like a good idea to go to dinner and a movie. Well, little did I know how crowded and loud it would be. Why do people talk through movies? I don’t get it. I think, it would be amazing to own home theater seating and a big screen T.V. Then I wouldn’t have to bother with it all. I could invite the people I know and want to hang out with. You know?
So far, I LOVE my internship. Besides getting to actually use the things I’m learning for my degree, I get all kinds of perks. First of all, I’m making a lot more than I was. Second, I can pick the hours I want to work (within reason). Thirdly, I get to go to an olympic sized pool for FREE! There is all kinds of other things that make it awesome too. I guess all I need to do now is go out and get some pool toys!
Man, I am sooo tired. I’ve finally finished unpacking and moving into my new apartment in between starting my new internship. I am really excited about all the change! The apartment is great except for a few things. One thing in particular that I don’t like is the living room and bathroom lighting. There aren’t any lights in the living room at all and the bath room just has one dim light. I really wish it had some above the mirror. After all, I don’t want to look like a clown going to work because I couldn’t see anything. : P
My dance team went over to our instructor’s house the other day to review our tapes from the competition. This was the first time we saw her new house. I’m a little sad that we didn’t get to see it full of patio furniture. Although if it was what she has out on her porch now, it still would have been pretty nice. The patio furniture she has out there now is pretty and looks so comfortable. It’s probably more comfortable than some people’s inside furniture.
I’m not as knowledgeable about finances as my boyfriend. He graduated college with a finance degree…so, clearly he has an advantage. The best thing I have is online banking. At least with that, I can see what I bought that month. However, why not take it a step up? There is some really good financial reporting software out there. With it, you can generate balance sheets, cash flow statements, income statements, and financial ratio reports. Maybe with it, I could get my act together.
My roommate bought this cute little hoodie for my dog this week. It cracks me up! He looks like a little person. My roommate said that since she doesn’t have any kids to buy children’s clothes for, she is going to dress up my dog. It’s kind of silly, but I kind of understand since kid’s clothes are so adorable. However, I think I’m still going to wait and just spoil my niece and nephews until then!
On an additional note to the last blog about being DONE this semester, I think I deserve to treat myself. I want to just take a day to relax, get a pedicure, facial, and etc. The only problem I have is that my skin is so fickle. I don’t have any acne or anything, but my face is blotchy all the time. I’m looking into getting some skin lightening products. I’ve talked about it forever, but today I’m actually going to do it. I deserve to feel good about the way I look.
I am finally finished with this semester. Let me tell you, it feels good!!! Now I only have one more semester before I graduate!! It seems like it all went by so fast. However, I’ve probably got the stress lines to prove I’ve put in every single day so far. It stinks that stress can cause so many wrinkles. With the way I worry about things, I’m going to need the best anti wrinkle cream now, so that I don’t look 60 when I’m 25.
