flannel sheets

it was finally time for the flannel sheets to make an appearance for this fall/winter season.  the sheets finally made on the bed last night.  they are so cozy.  maybe too cozy since it's 11:15 and i'm still in bed.  i may have said it before, but i wish there was a job where i could just stay in bed, all day.  i won't give up hope.

last week was a busy week for me.  i spent four days in vegas, and then i spent the weekend up north.  vegas was fun, a little boring, up north was beautiful. it was so relaxing and peaceful and so good to hang out with my family.

i'm going to peace out now, i have some flannel sheets to snuggle in.

here's to you

today marks week 3 since my grandpa died.  i didn't think i'd be able to survive in a world where he didn't exist, but as they say, time does heal all wounds.  not saying this wound is at all healed yet, but i am surviving. 

my grandpa enjoyed life.  he ate donuts, drank manhattans, sat in the sun, and smiled a lot.  he would give a little squeeze at the end of a hug, wink at you across the room, and he would hold your hand.  he loved life, he loved my grandma, and he loved us, i'm certain of this.  i'll miss my grandpa, but i'll eat a donut, squeeze at the end of a hug, sit in the sun, maybe drink a manhattan and remember him.

more toothpaste

i put a sweatshirt on today, my favorite brown one.  i must have worn it the other day at night or in the morning because there was toothpaste dripped all down the front of it.  how does that happen?  at 22 shouldn't i know how to brush my teeth so the toothpaste doesn't drip all over my shirt?  i usually get toothpaste on my clothes at least twice a week.  i need to figure something out.

i love milk.  i always have.  i used to drink so much my parents put restrictions on how many glasses i could have because i was drinking all the milk.  and yes, i have very strong bones.  i haven't been drinking a lot of milk for a while, but today i got really thirsty for it.  i drank a half gallon throughout the day.  i'm not feeling so great now.  i was for most of the day, but i think my body is starting to realize there's a half gallon of milk in there.  it should be a fun night.

my life

today at work i was wiping butts and cleaning up ants and realized this is not what i want to do forever.  i love it now, but not forever.  so i was talking to my co-worker and she was helping me figure out what i want to do with my life.  i got really excited because i love thinking about a new adventure and what may happen.  i just love possibilities.  on my home from work i called my mom to tell her i want to go back to school, these are some things i want to do and she said, "lydia, go to the library.  there are so many books on majors and careers and the schools you could go to.  ask someone for help, but the library is a great place to get stuff like that."  my mom works at a library.  i got home and told krista all my exciting news and then headed off to the library.  

i get to the library and immediately go the computers to search for career books.  i wish they had the actual card catalogs, those are fun.  anyways, i find a few books and write down the call numbers and go in search.  half way through my search i start to think i don't know where my keys are.  i look in my purse and they aren't there.  oh no, where did they go?  i check my pockets, look on the floor, no luck.  then i think, maybe i set them down by the computers.  i go back to the computers and can't remember which computer i was at and then i found them at the third one, which i guess is the one i was at.  i pick up my keys and tuck them away in my purse and go back to find figure out my life books.  i can't find the ones i'm looking for anywhere.  there isn't a "fix your life" section, but i'm in the section about becoming a lawyer and i start coughing.  i swallowed wrong and then i have a cough on top of that so i was coughing maybe for 13 seconds.  mid cough, a man sitting at a table looks at me and says, "could you do that in the bathroom?"  i was a little embarrassed so i just turned around and walked away coughing, not to the bathroom, meanie.  

i then went to jewel.  i didn't have a lot of groceries, just like 23 maybe.  i went to the self checkout because i didn't want to wait behind soccer mom buying food for the next 3 weeks.  the self checkout is a huge pain and i am never going in it again. i thought it would be fast but soccer mom was out before me.  it's all because of the bananas, stupid bananas, and then the receipt machine got stuck.  man, what a day.

on a happy note, it is Oct 1 and that means it's time for the down comforter!  i can't wait, i love snuggling under it.  ohhhhh, i love the fall, but not jewel self checkout and not mean men that tell me not to cough at the library
