Wishful thinking.
Well. It was an interesting weekend, full of lots of Rob’s relatives. . .who were apparrently told by Rob’s parents that I’m “a keeper”. That was pretty amusing. Considering the occasion, things went pretty smoothly. I think everyone was glad when it was all over though.
I titled the post wishful thinking, because there’s a slight possibility that the roomate has started packing. I went into the living room today to get my copy of Blazing Saddles, and noticed that a previously empty box now has clothes in it (although the clothing used to be on the chair next to the box), but what made the biggest impression on me was that he’d taken all of his DVD’s out of the entertainment center. One can only hope. After the landlord incident on Friday (still no word on that), we all cleaned up the back deck, and the roomate took out his garbage and picked up most of his cigarette butts. Not all of them though. Yes, I’m that anal. :[
Sock #1 is done!!! And it fits!! I'm waiting to post a picture until the other one is done as well. It looks pretty much like the first one did. I do think I messed up the first one though, I probably misplaced the heel, and I'm going to try to do it correctly with this sock. It shouldn't be too hard, I've just got to pay attention.
And tomorrow's the big day. . .first day on the new job. Even though it's only a half day. I think I'm greatful for that. Like how you ease small children into school by starting kindergarden off with half days. And not having to work today. That was nice. One last weekday to enjoy before I get chained to a desk again. I joke, but I'm really apprehensive and nervous about going back to work. I know I'm probably going to hate it, just because I really don't like working. At least, not in the definition that I've worked so far. So I tell myself how great it's going to be having money again, and start planning how I'm going to save and save and save until I can just blow my debt out of the water, and do whatever the hell I want to with my money from then on. Like save up to buy a car (or a scooter.), a nice car, that's newish and has a moon roof. And heated seats maybe. I guess this post's title is appropriate for various reasons.
There's also the wishful thinking Rob and I played with yesterday, talking about what we'll do with the house once the roomate moves out. . .maybe get a pool table. . .get groceries delivered from PeaPod. . .Which speaking of, I went to the Stop-n-Shop by my house for the first time yesterday morning and it was amazing. Very clean and huge!! I'm definitely doing my shopping there from now on. And!! They had this awesome fire-pit table that I totally want for the back deck now. (Fire is good, fire on the deck unprotected is bad though. . .this way I can have fire. :] )
So there’s plans. I just hope this job works out.
