My Friday

Can I quickly just say that there are only 65 days until my wedding!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that number. Wish it were smaller, but glad it's not bigger! I'm so excited to be marrying this man! We were talking today about how blessed we both are and how much better our lives are together than apart.

 

I'm at work today. It's my Friday though (no work tomorrow) and I'm thrilled. I'd be happier if I weren't sick. Yes, sick or at least getting there. Don't you always find that you're sick over the weekend or on some holiday or something where you want to be part of something fun and not be sick? And you don't get to use that Sick Leave that you've been earning and can't spend any other way. Ugh!

 

And what a long day this has been! Now I don't want to sound all mopey or whatnot, I'm actually in a very good mood and very content in my life. But today is, well, you know, a sick day. Regardless of the sickness, I'm going to attempt to go for a run with my fiance (with the help of cold medicine) and try and sweat it out like my dad advises. We'll see if that works Dad! And sometime around work and runnng, I'm going to run to Wal-Mart and pick up my cart full of free stuff and then to Target to do the same. And I"ll end up spending some money on some wedding items. But that can't be helped! It's definitely helping out the budget to be buying things gradually rather than all at once. More people should do this.

 

I think I should write a book on how to save money when you purchase things. I'm not an expert of just saving money. I don't like to do that. But I am becoming an expert on how to save money while spending money. Make sense?! :)

 

Well, it appears I've discussed four different topics in this one little post. I'll leave it at that.

 

Actually, one more thing. Beau and I have created a website of our own (not through blogger) and it will be revealed some time in March.

 

Happy New Year!

Cinnamon Rolls change everything

It's a couple days before Christmas and I have to admit that this year doesn't feel as much like Christmas as it has in the past. I am not home today. I'm at work. I currently don't have the vacation available to be home before Christmas. So not being there is kind of squashing my Christmas spirit. Christmas has always been defined for me as time with family. And it's just not the same this year. The time that I do get to spend with them this year will be minimal. And in addition to me working today (Yuck!), I'm planning my wedding, which has superseded almost everything else in my life. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm loving planning my wedding. I mean, I've been waiting to do this my whole life! But, I'm not loving how most everything else is going on the backburner, at least things that are important to me are going on the backburner.

 

So today, I'm sitting at my desk and at the point of tears. And I don't think I'm the only one out there in this spot. There are plenty of other people around the world and even in the city of Charleston that are crying on this day, for many different reasons. And my reasons for crying probably can't even come close to their reasons, for mine are trivial in the whole scheme of things. But nevertheless, today is one of tears. Of not being able to make everyone happy (I'm a people-pleaser), of being over-stressed, of lack of sleep, of being out of a job in a few weeks, etc. I'm sure that tomorrow will be better and maybe this afternoon will be better. And tomorrow I will think this is silly and will probably want  to delete it from my blog. But right now, here it is.

 

Right now I wish I lived in Columbia, SC where there is located the closest Cinnabon in SC and I could get one that is covered in caramel and pecans and I could lay on my couch and eat that cinnamon roll while I watch "It's A Wonderful Life" and I could cry at the end because I'm so happy, while at the same time finally letting go of the tears that have been wanting to come out all day. I could then fall asleep on my couch because I was full and happy and relaxed and sleep through the night. And then tomorrow I would wake up and start over, but with a different outlook on the day, while feeling guilty for the huge cinnamon roll I ate the day before. :)
