I started my new job, which I actually really don't mind. I have to admit that there have been a few glitches and a lot more complaining about the glitches but...it'll be fine. I think that it's just a matter of everything getting settled in. Our store is under a renovation of sorts, and we have new managers and we were opening a new store and this that and the other. It's just been kind of chaotic, which is very uncharacteristic of a fabric store, but things happen.
School was supposed to be easy. Key words being "supposed to be." AKA it's not. I should have thought about my schedule more before I signed up for it. My registration for next semester is Novemer 4th. I have priority and I'll be able to register the second day it's open, so I'll probably get all of my classes. I just have to know what those are... which I really really don't. And which I really really need to pick out. But I need to have an advisory meeting because I want to see if I can use some classes towards my associates degree and my education certificate. So I just need to get on that.
This month is my favorite month in a typical year, all because of Halloween. This year was no exception, though I think it will be tied with December. Aaron and I went to his aunt's party this past Saturday. Our costumes coordinated; I made some Pebbles and Bam Bam attire, though I didn't stay in mine very long, my wig and dress itched like mad. He did eventually put on more clothing as well.Tomorrow night I have yet another party to go to, and another costume to wear. I will be the classic vampire. But the best part is that I don't even have to paint my face white because I'm so pale. Just slap some dark red lipstick, some fangs, and a dark colored dress on and I will be all set. I'm going with Chelsea, her family, and her boyfriend.
That's right, I typed boyfriend. He's a nice guy, but it's a recent thing, so we'll see how well it goes (hopefully very well).
Today marked the day that I began Christmas crafting. It needed to be done so that I didn't run out on Christmas Eve to Target and do all of my gifts in one night again, like I did last year. The colors are reacting to heat very oddly though, so royal blue is turning to grey and lime green to olive and pink to lavender, but oh well. Everything still looks decent. This year's craft is mugs :) I had to make 11 customized ones this year. It would seem that these also should never be washed, though, so I'm going to have to invest in some sort of sealant spray of sorts at some point (Christmas Eve...? ha). So far, it looks like Aaron's, Allie's, Alyssa's, and my Mom's turned out the closet to their original colors (Alyssa's had to be backwards or you could see the design :P Also there were 3 in the oven at the point this was taken at). Hopefully the sealant does the job and then they can actually be used unlike the plates from last year.Grandma was gone for a couple of weeks (visiting her sister) earlier this month so I had the house to myself again. Well, we had the house to ourselves, rather. It was really nice being able to cook and wait for someone to get home from work. I got used to it and now I'm spoiled and hate that I can't do it any more. I've also had to learn to remember to turn on my own fan at night, which isn't pleasant. But I get to curl up in the covers and not get accused of being a blankie thief, so I guess that's a plus. Kind of. Having the house like that for that long made me want to be out on my own so much more than I already do. I just like the feeling of knowing that I get to see the most wonderful person every night and every morning, the last and first thing every day. I hate not having him be the last person I see before I go to bed anymore. I absolutely hate it. But I have to keep reminding myself that it won't always be this way. It's just how his job and my schedule don't work out right now. I think I just miss his voice being the last one I hear that I really miss. I don't care what anyone says, texts can only do so much for contact. And it may seem like a stupid thing to miss, but the saying "you don't know what you've got til it's gone" is so very true in this case.
Anyways, I really should get to bed, my eyes are drooping and I can tell I'm going to just start super rambling with keyboard vomit on the internet pretty soon here, so I'll call it quits for the night.
See you whenever I get back on here again (hopefully sooner than later).
