Random Thoughts

Grad School.
Remember how I sat on my butt (head?) for years deciding what to get my Masters in?
And then I decided and two weeks later applied to schools and a month later was accepted to two and like two point six days later accepted one of them?
Well, I'm halfway done now.
^_^

Sponge.
So, being bi polar means I'm more emotional than your average bear. The majority of the time.
And then there are days when I feel like I'm drowning in emotion.
On those days, I soak it up like a sponge, from all around me.
Yesterday, a friend told me some devastating news.
Their pain became my pain.
But it didn't stop there.
Because once I get emotional, I don't just feel one emotion.
I get bombarded by emotions.
 Intense emotions.
It culminated in me slap happy and laughing at the stupidest things today at work.
I'm pretty sure everyone there thinks I'm crazy.
(You should see the emails I send out to our team ... I definitely used the phrase "Re-commence anticipatory salivation!" in the last one. That sounds really weird out of context. Umm ... it sounded weird in context too.)

Ashamed.
I subscribe to a blog that posts cute pictures of animals multiple times a day.
I might just be 14 years old again.

Plan-less.
I have no plans for the weekend.
This is amazing!
I plan on kickboxing, cleaning, and editing/writing all weekend.
Yummy.

Christmas gift.
I've been asked what my gift from Kurt was:
a hot pink, new generation iPod Nano.
With my email engraved on back.
In case I lose it.
Because I am married to an accountant who thinks of those things.

I love Kurt.

Kurt gave me my birthday/Christmas present last night.

It arrived in the mail yesterday.

My birthday's not for another 13 days

And, well, you know when Christmas is.

Last year he did the same thing,

giving me my birthday/Christmas present

in October.

He can never wait.

He's too excited.

(Well, Kurt's version of excited.)

I think it's cute.

November Goals

I'm feeling so much better this month than I was last month. Maybe it's because my fun Halloween weekend finally kicked me into high spirits. Maybe it's because my semester is done in a week (basically... I mail off my last assignment in a week, which means I'm done). Maybe it's because Harry Potter 7: Part 1 is coming out in 17, no, 16 days. Or maybe it's because my birthday is in 22 days. So many good things!
-Get back into eating healthy again! I've been awesome about working out, but pretty lazy about my eating habits. I blame candy corn. But I had the strength to throw away the last of it this morning and I am determined!
-Edit a good chunk of my book. I would say half, but that might be overshooting it. My ultimate goal is the have the entire first edit done by December 31st. Remember how last year I did NaNoTryMo? Well, with two books already underway, I can't start a third (even though I have a rockin' idea). But I can do NaNoEdMo! (Ed = Edit) Huzzah!
-Continue to work on my scripture reading. Add to this, pray kneeling on the floor, not kneeling on the bed.

Yay, new goals!

October Goals Recap

Wow, I only did two posts in October. And they were only about goals. All time low. I apologize. I actually have quite a bit to post, I'm just waiting until next week when I finish my semester. Yippee! I've got cruise pics and Halloween hubbub. Oh joy.

October Goals: The Results
-Continue to read my scriptures every day. Fail. Wasn't too good about this. Poop.
-Continue to stay on top of house work. I'd say success. I did pretty well! Well enough to count it as a success, at least. :)
-Continue to stay on top of school work. Success! Yay, I'm 2 for 3 this month!
