I haven’t been blogging as much lately, and there’s a reason- I don’t really have much to say, which is sort of unusual for me. Well, technically, I have plenty to say, but it’s kind of depressing and would probably just bring you down, and I don’t really like doing that to those kind enough to read my ramblings.
Well, here’s why in a nutshell, just in case you want to know. Summer is hot. College Station is Boring with a capital B. I’m not tan. My waistline is expanding from my desk job. I want to plan my wedding in the actual city that it’s going to be in with my mother. I’m lonely. My fridge and pantry are both empty. My house is incomplete. I have to move soon, against my will. My face won’t stop breaking out. I want a puppy.
Ok, that’s enough of my negativity. Now that I’ve got that out of my system, how about a practice in positive thinking?
I have a pretty ring on my finger, and a handsome fiancé to match. My nails are freshly painted. Friday was payday. Father’s Day was fantastic and refreshing. The Dallas Mavericks are STILL NBA Champs, and I got a t-shirt to prove it this weekend. I picked up my wedding dress this weekend, and I picked my bridesmaid dresses. News from the BFFS back home has been nothing but bliss lately. At least I’m not pastey. At least it’s not traffic-y in College Station. Movies are only $4. I’m being fed well. The hard part of wedding planning is mostly over. There’s usually at least one person at a time in CS that I can call friend. A move will probably help me clean out. A change of scenery might be just what I need. I keep dreaming about puppies almost every night, so maybe that’s a sign. My hair finally faded to the correct shade of brown. Jesus loves me, this I know.
Also, to keep me from absolutely bursting out of my skin with anxiety and anticipation, I created a bite-sized countdown of events to the wedding (one’s that I at least know of right now) to keep me focused on the excitement of each day until then. Please note, 99.9% of these events are not earth-shattering, but they at least help!
