for my sanity?

it's been 12 days. i thought i would really enjoy "down time" considering the last 6+ years of my life have been constant craziness. not the case. i'm BOOOOORED. i feel like if i have a job, i will be less annoying when grady comes home & needs to study & i just really want to have a conversation with someone other than myself (yes i have resorted to talking to myself...hate on me haters). so what have i accomplished in 12 days?

  • discovered that although i am *quite* weak i can assist grady in hauling an entire sectional, a 200 lb. desk (yes... literally 200 lbs.), a 150 lb. entertainment center, our awkward not easily moved mattress and the rest of our belongings up a flight of stairs. hoo-rah! (<--- that's a marine reference)
  • spent more hours than i am willing to disclose cruising craigslist looking for furniture and a job. i have yet to purchase a piece of furniture from there or get a job. waste of time?
  • watched all 3 seasons of "16 and pregnant" and am working on "teen mom". wow. just wow.
  • vacuumed our apartment about 30 times. our new vacuum works, so that is great!
  • called in 3 work orders to our apartment complex. it's nice to be on the other end of the phone calls for once. (*side note: although a large brick wall in your living room and dining room creates a very awesome look to your place, it also leads to incredible drafts and many hours of maintenance staff to be in your apartment numerous days in a row)
  • entertained our first house guests. yay for having a second bedroom! we are so happy brandt and jeannetter and babies came to stay and get me out of a funk. i needed it.

everyone pray that i get a job. for my sanity and the sake of grady's grades. i need to be busy. srsly.
