WHY WOULDN'T A BLANKET HAVE SLEEVES?

My life feels like I get up everyday and do the exact same thing. I mean it’s not just a feeling, I do, but I want to change it up a little. This is why I am here...blogging.

Today I had lunch with two elderly couples at a restaurant called the Cherry Tree Tea Room. They all snickered when I asked if they had any sandwiches without fruit. But I was being serious, and I chose meatloaf thinking it would be a safe alternative, only to find that the meatloaf is served ala raisins.

A lady that works on the Board took me to meet the two couples to talk about speaking at an upcoming event. I have never been great with old people, but I feel that with age I am becoming more acclimated to them. I was fascinated by how they had met in college at a house party and were all still together today hanging out.

My job is going okay. I'm still finding it awkward being in "the real world." Being in school your entire life and then going into the work force is a big jump. I mean, you get over it, but it's still weird to think that an entire chapter of my life has been completely closed.

In other updates, I own a Snuggie and I've been cutting my own hair.

At work there is a Board Member, Valerie, who during my interview was an absolute nightmare. She wore a biker outfit and yelled most of the questions she asked. But I have gotten to work with her more closely and she is my absolute favorite. When in the office Valerie always uses lunchtime to really get to know me as a person and on the flip side shows me who she is outside of being my boss.

She told me the story of her engagement. She said that her and her husband had met at a Bible Study in College. A few nights later she had a dream that he proposed to her. She said she really began to pray about why she had that dream, she said that later in the week she was alone with him and she told him about the dream. He then turned and breathed on the window and drew the outline of the diamond that she had seen in her dream. He said that God had made it known to him that she was “the one” and had bought a ring with her in mind.

A major plus of adulthood is the money. I feel rich. I mean, I'm not, but I don't have to constantly get online and look at the balance of my checking account to make sure I'm not overdrawn. And this, my friends, is how you know you’ve made it. So, if I send you a random gift that’s not for Christmas or your Birthday, it's not because I was thinking about you, it's because I wanted you to remember that I make more money than you.

I'm still looking for a really cool place in Kingsville to hang out. They used to have a coffee shop by the university, but it closed. And a Starbucks, but it's closed too. I just really want a place with a cool name, good variety in drinks, open early and late, good seating, and free wifi. But for real? Just coffee that isn’t H-E-B brand or has a Mc in front of it would be nice too.

After 8 years of driving I still have a bad habit of randomly not wearing my seat belt. Yesterday I got a ticket for speeding, not wearing a seat belt, not updating the information on my driver’s license, and not having a recent proof of insurance in my car. I don't have any idea how much the ticket is going to be. The State Trooper told me I would need to meet with the Judge and he would decide the fine. What a pain.

Yesterday at Church, we saw a video that magician/renowned atheist Penn Teller had posted to his blog. He was talking about meeting a stranger that offered him a small New Testament Bible. He then talked about how if there was a God and a chance that people really are going to hell, then why aren't more people living there beliefs like this man that approached him? He said, "How much do you have to hate someone to not say something?" It was so moving and very thought provoking! I loved it!


I'm still unhealthily obsessed with American Idol. But what else is new. To keep it short, I hate Adam, love Kris, and I'm impartial to Danny.


Seriously Jon Gosslin? Just when I was finally over Nick Lachey & Jessica Simpson's divorce....now this?
