Happy birthday to me, I've turned 23!

HA! I made a rhyme!!!

I'm excited about this birthday. It's not like we're doing anything special (we're still broke) but I've had a lot of warm wishes and some pretty neat presents. I'm especially excited about getting my dad's present in the mail because he always gets me the best things, things that I really need, not just things that I want. He told me that I can buy things that I want in my 40's and to focus on what I need for now. Good advice. So, waiting with baited breath...or something. I've received some great gifts, both practical and frivilous from many of my loved ones, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, but the best gifts I've received were the hugs and well-wishes and phone calls. They're the best. Hands down.

I'm finally starting to feel better after a bout with the flu (not the Swine flu. Thank heavens) and I'm actually waiting anxiously to be able to go back to work (MONDAY!!!). I thought the time off would be good for me, but I miss my residents and students and I'm bored out of my tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D's birthday is Monday, so I'm planning to make her dinner and take her to a dollar movie. We're doing our Ward trunk or treat for my birthday.

Excitingness!!

Visiting

So this weekend we went up to D's parents' house to visit and to see our other "adopted" sister whom I had never met and who D hadn't seen in 9 years. It was an awesome weekend. I was, of course, very nervous, new people you know, but S made me feel very comfortable and safe and we just had so much fun. Except for the fact that I was sick allof Friday night and D was sick all day Saturday. That part we can overlook in favor of funness, right?

hahaha.

So my preparations for NaNoWriMo 2009 are well under way. I am blogging like mad on my other blog The Write Stuff and preparing outlines and cleaning up my space so it's workable...on top of juggling 2 jobs and my Avon sales. But that's a whole other blog post that I'll get around to later.

I am also fighting illness, trying to keep sickness at bay so it does not interfere with my busy life. I SOOOOO do not have time to get sick. Keep me in your prayers.

So all's well on in this life...for the most part.

Dating

So, I've been seeing this guy, kind of casual, friend dating. We're going to the theatre tonight to see "Thouroughly Modern Millie" and eat dinner. I'm excited because we're also going to be performing at the Festival of Trees in December. Him playing guitar and me singing. It's fun and he's super sweet. He's safe, I guess you could say. No pressure. It's good to get out once in a while. Or every Friday night. hahaha.

There are some issues with my dating this guy, namely he's older and not LDS, but for now I'm content to keep going on as we have been, having fun and enjoying each other's company.

I'm not used to "dating." It's kind of a foreign concept to me. I stay at home. I babysit people's kids so they can go out. I don't date. It's a weird new kind of thing...
