Sunday

Sunday is just not my favorite day of the week because it's the last day before work. *sigh* There's just not enough time in a weekend to do all the misc crap I want to get done. I would love to win the lottery but since I never buy tickets, I don't see it happening (we don't have a lottery here btw).

The black cat has taken to waking me up every day at 4-5 am to be let out. Today he let me sleep till 7. How kind. What really sucks about that is since the weather is so nice, the windows are now open and he can come and go as he pleases but instead wakes me to open the door. =/ Jake says it's my fault for pampering the little heathens. I don't guess I can disagree. They are quite spoiled.

One of the ladies at work has been on my rear hardcore about getting married. She thinks 2 years is plenty of time for him to pop the question and give me a ring. I personally think it's hilarious that she's all over me whereas my parents are not. However, his mom asks him every time she calls if we've gotten married. She even asks if I'm pregnant yet (that ain't happenin - sorry D - I'm leavin that one to his sister)! lol She's a riot. His sister just had a baby boy in December and he is a little doll. Every so often I think about wanting another baby and then I think - "STUPID - you're nearly 40!!!!" and then I think about 3 am feedings.

I can play the aunt role (my mother emailed me the other day to point out that I had spelled this word incorrectly lol) at this age but I don't think I'm up for another baby. And in another 10 years I'll be ok w/ Grandma but he's 17 right now so I'll kill him if he does anything ignorant right now. Speaking of, Brett had another interview for the internship position with UALR for their nanotechnology department Friday. He didn't get back to the school till 7. This is the 3rd weekend he hasn't been home and I've told him he could go to Springdale for Spring Break to see his grandparents and girlfriend. Heck he has been spending more time up there than at home later =( Apparently there are a lot more kids that go to the school from Springdale/Fayetteville than from around here so they drive back and forth nearly every weekend. Surprise Surprise =/ In case you didn't know it, NW Arkansas is like a whole different state. The wages are far higher than anywhere else in Arkansas (even McDonalds advertised opening positions at $7 an hour back when min wage was $5.15), there's more money being spent, the education is better in most of the schools, there's opera and ballet... it's just completely different in so many ways.

There are a lot of things that I miss about NWA. You could live in the country and still be close to major shopping and dining places. A friend of mine lived on a farm in Tontitown but she was 20 minutes from my house on campus.

Instead of spending 30 minutes here bitching about how bad this area sucks in terms of jobs and shopping, I should be cleaning the house and finding out what smells like a fart in my fridge. I think there's some broccoli that I missed back there. That fridge is a complete pain. The shelves are insanely deep so stuff gets pushed to the back and lost until the next excavation. I really want to replace it w/ a side-by-side but those things are expensive! I could buy a new regular fridge, deep freeze and stove for what a side-by-side costs. It's a conspiracy I just know it.

Well that's enough bitching for one day. I'm hoping that if I bitch more here, I'll bitch less in real life. Yeah I don't see it happening either but hey - it's a thought right?
