A Day In the Life.

This whole summer I have been begging for routine. I just wanted to be able to have a day-to-day schedule where I could feel accomplished and tired by the end of the day. But really with my maybe 3 hours a week of working at the golf course, finishing up my online courses and sometimes seeing my friends...my life was taking a nosedive into extraordinarily boring.

I would sleep in until about 10am.. 11am.. who am I kidding, I was sleeping in until NOON. I would force myself out of bed and then go park it on the couch for a good couple hours. Then I might eat some lunch, just look at the pool in my backyard, sometimes go to the golf course to either work or hit balls for 10 minutes. Then I would lounge around some more, maybe run one or two errands, eat dinner, Skype with Blake for an hour or so, and then not be able to fall asleep until around 1am which of course called for the freakiest dreams of my adult life.

That's how the summer started off. It is now ending with me forcing my self awake at 6:40am... just to lay in bed for another 20mins. Finally getting up and rushing to get ready before I have to leave at 7:30am. Then I get to work and sit in my cubicle


Its a nice little area, but it can get a little cramped. I do have a beautiful view of the mountains though:


At work I usually do busywork things that the ladies give me because they have way too many other things to work on (which is promising for my future) and I sit in front of the computer all day. Before when I didn't have anything to do, I would look up the news on every website, check out every little thing on pinterest.com, and I even was so bored that I went to the Einstein Bagels website and wrote to them saying they should consider opening one the east side of the city because I would eat there everyday. Oh yeah, it happened. I also got a lot of split end trimming in. Now I have no time for games, just data input.

Then, on my way home, I have been seeing a chiropractor (which is awesome) so I get aligned in about 5 minutes and continue on my merry way. I am just doing it for this month of August so I am trying to get my money's worth by stopping in everyday.

When I get home I notice the roommate usually has nothing for dinner so I have to scrounge for food. Then I sit on the couch and watch my shows until about 9pm when I start getting ready for bed. I am now asleep (completely out) by 10:30pm. And I asked for routine??

On the weekends I get laundry done, go to the range and sometimes go out with the girls. I feel as though I have finally reached adulthood... and now I'm over it! I just want to learn how to play golf...


Boom. Posted.

Bugging Out.

I am 'bugging out' for a number of reasons.

This first beings with a picture my mother sent me a few days ago where she photoshopped my head onto a girl in her pajamas with a shadow of Peter Pan on the wall with the script "You know that place between sleep and awake? That place where you can still remember dreaming. That's where I'll always love. THAT'S WHERE I WILL BE WAITING!"

Can you picture it? I cannot post it. Probably for the better, since it is so terrifying.

I am also 'bugging out' because my house is filled with creepy crawlers. They are on the wall, the floor, in my bed, on me... its disgusting and turning me into a paranoid freak. These bugs are like drawn to me. One time I was grabbing my towel after a shower and as I puled it off the rack this nickel-size spider crawls right out... BAAAAH! Jeeblie jeeblie the worst feeling ever. Also today I was walking out of the gym and something flew right into my neck. I think it was aiming for my jugular.

But all of that pales in comparison to this one particular bug that has reared its ugly face in my house a little over several times. It all started when my brother was home alone for a few weeks and I was still in college. I get a phone call from him and he is asking me to look up on google an 'ant with antlers'. What?

He said there was a humungous ant that had antlers in the house earlier and he wanted to know what it was. Obviously I couldn't find anything and eventually forgot about the situation.

Until one day I was eating something at the dinner table and went to reach for a napkin out of our center utensil/napkin holder and while I pull the napkin out of the slot, this thing comes flying out along with it. It was an ANT WITH ANTLERS! Oh I almost died, almost. It makes my knees weak just thinking about it.

Ugh I just tried to find a picture of the horrid thing and now I feel like I have ants all over me. They have a name but of course I cannot remember it. Something like Spawnus satanus.

Boom. Squished.
