Sometimes I forget what my titles refer to, how long I've lived in Utah, or how long I've been dating my love, James Hall. So, I'm just winging it.
I'm watching old game shows right now here at 1:30 in the morning and I'm just so happy. I have the day off tomorrow, so I'm gonna sleep in and do some cleaning. Our carpet is just SOOOOO dirty. Must clean it. Like I dropped a chip on the ground a second ago, and I didn't want to eat off it, me, not eat off my carpet, that's totally saying something.
So this time, the 6 months refers to how long I've been with my current boyfriend Jimmy. You know, in Utah, 6 months is like....so weird to be dating. I understand that the focus of marriage is more...common here. (I'm using the word focus as a substitute for, people SUPER pressuring into quick marriages, for fear of some Utah person being like NA UH!). But this 6 months has gone by so quickly, I don't know how it's been half a year already. That sounds a little more intense, half a year! Ahh! Trust me people ask me, how could you be ok with not being engaged or whatever, but then I tell them, I grew up in Washington, and I once dated someone for like 2 years, soooooooo yah, I'm doing ok! He just loves me so much, I'm the luckiest girl. Valentines Day was great, he got me a massage. I took the day off and just relaxed. We had steaks for dinner and we were going to go to a movie, but there was just too many people. We watched a scary movie, LOVE scary movies. It turned out to be great, but the flowers he ordered for me didn't come. I didn't care so much, but it made him mad that they are just douches about it. V-day for the win.
My jobs going ok. They've given me a whole bunch of other responsibilities and they aren't really compensated for it. I was really pessimistic about it the other day, and Jimmy told me that I had just to man up about it. Sounds like terrible advice to give a crying girl, but he's totally right. That's what I have to do. It's a good job ya know? Good hours, good money, they are flexible, I'm good at it, and they like me over there. Sometimes I feel dumb working there because I"m a college graduate and it's not really what I want to do with my life.
My Masters is going. I'll be done in June and then I can look for teaching jobs. I kinda moved to a crappy place for that though. Utah pays so terribly for teaching jobs, but just supporting myself, it wouldn't be so bad. I just need food and rent, and then everything else is just a blessing. I'll have a Masters in Education and a Bachelors in Mathematics with a minor in Philosophy. I'll be happy to be done with it though. It's break time for it right now, I get like a week off.
Tomorrow should be super fun, I'm setting my roommate up with one of my co-workers. I hope they have a good time. He's a super nice guy, and she has just been dating the worst types of guy.
Weight Watchers is going. It's WAAAAAAY hard. I go most days hungry, but you learn to deal with it. I've learned to eat better things, and eat smaller portions. I lost 5 pounds my first week and half and then like a pound or two after that. Eating out is hard, so I'm going to be cooking a lot now. I bought myself a blender! Hecks yes! Smoothies are BOMB.com.
I want to take this time and tell everyone who reads this thanks! You guys rock. It is mostly for my family, but I hope you guys like it. Blogs are weird and completely unnecessary, but it's something to do.
I want a Swiffer. Damn these commercials.
