What's up

Ok, so it's been a while since I really sat down to post. Time has been limited, things have been hectic and actually...to be honest....quite boring. Life in Athens is like one big party that someone forgot to invite me to. There are often things going on in town that I could so, ya know, go to the bars, join a gym, take a class, ect. But the problem is, I'm not a drinker, I'd rather work out at home and not go through the shame and embarrassment of going to the gym, and by the time I get off work I am too tired and brain dead to want to go take a class some where. I keep hoping that at some point some random cute, sophisticated, unscary guy will come up to me and ask me out. However, I know that should this ever happen, due to my luck w/ men, he would be some psychotic stalker cheater redneck that has no ambition. I know that sounds really pessimistic of me but ya know, at this point, if you expect and plan for the worst and for once the best does actually happen it's always a pleasant surprise and makes you happier and more excited than everyone else thinks you should be.

Hum, so to update everything that has happened the past week or so....

Mr. B has yet to ask me out (which is obvious by the above statement). I fear he is not interested but at this point it's not like it matters. I cope and smile, talk, and move on w/ life. NO DWELLING!

My weirdo neighbor C. hasn't called me in about a week and a half if not 2 weeks. There have been moments that I have considered calling and just talking or asking if he wanted to come watch a movie....but although I have had those BRIEF moments of weakness I have not yet become so desperate. Let's hope that the loneliness doesn't sink me to that level.

I need to go to ATL to visit L. at some point. I haven't had an opportunity to do that yet. I would say I might do that this weekend but I am going w/ the youth group at the church to go to a MAZE MAZE (Corn Maze).

The preacher's youngest daughter may be staying w/ me Sat night as well. She has taken a liking to me b/c she can pick on me and I pick back. I always did like a kid that I could give grief and they would laugh and dish it right back. HEE HEE HEE!

I have started singing w/ the praise and worship group at the church. I think that I did it as more of a way to give me something to do and to get the preacher off my back about playing an instrument or something for church. I know that he just wants me to be an active member and wants to include me in things at the church but there are times that it comes off as pushy...and if you know much about me...you know how well that goes over w/ me. But you would be proud, I haven't pushed back yet. I have actually been REALLY polite about it.....all the while biting my tongue.

I went back home and took the QA again. I am hoping that I get 3's this time. Several ppl are saying that it's easier to get 3's now b/c they have more ppl observing the videos. I will say that the ppl that they have on the testing videos are easier to understand now than they have been in the past however, there are times that they do not provide enough lag time. Oh well, those tests are never set up for what it should be like in real life situations.

B. just bought some land and is putting a mobile on it and should be moving into it before the end of the year. I'm excited for her. She said that it seems weird and rewarding to actually own something like that. Guess that means I can hang up on hoping that she will move up here and be my roommate at some point. Oh well, maybe she'll still come up for a visit or two.


So has anyone figured out how to grow money on trees yet? I'm still waiting. Maybe next time huh? Keep me posted!

The Answers......now I get it

This weekend was generally uneventful. I stayed home and was basically a shut-in until Sunday morning when I got up, went to church, came home and locked myself back in my house again. Geez, makes me sound like a paranoid old lady that thinks that the evil ppl are coming after her if she steps out of the house for anything other than church and to feed the gazillion cats that have accumulated around her house. I'm good though....b/c at this point there are only 2 cats....lol.

I did receive a surprising phone call on Friday though. A guy that I grew up w/, W., gave me a call. We literally grew up together and were more like brother and sister than anything; so much so that we ever fought like brother and sister (at least until his mom made us hug, kiss, and make up). He works w/ the USDA or something like that now. He's a produce inspector so he is on the road a lot. (What is it w/ me and guys who are on the road more often than not?) I talked to him on Friday for about 2 hours and a little on Sat. He had planned to come and visit on Sat. on his way home but it didn't work out where he was able to do that. DARN!!! He's hoping that they will send him back to NC during the C-mas holidays and he can leave a day or so early and come visit me. :oD

*sigh* All these ppl keep promising to visit......but I have only had 1 person who actually has. I'm hoping that B. will be able to soon. My parents will be here in 2 weeks on their way to NC and then I have to go home that Monday for my test. I was hoping that I would be able to go home on the weekend of the 22nd b/c that is when they are having my nephew's b-day party but unless gas prices drop drastically I won't have the money to do that. I was excited last night when I sat down to pay the bills and I actually had a decent amount of money left in the bank but then I remembered this morning that I haven't paid the rent yet this month so I have to do that which will then leave me w/ about $97 dollars to live on for the month. I am hoping that someone will soon figure out how to grow money on trees. It's a dream we have all had or considered but no one has been able to successfully pull it off yet. Let me know when you guys do, I will be one of the first in line to get one.........or a grove worth.

Even The Bible says that "money answereth all things." Ecclesiastes 10:19

Hum....this would explain why I am never able to find the answers!
