one day at a time

I have seriously got to alter my sleeping schedule... I find myself awake pondering all sorts of things late at night and into the early hours of the morning, and I'm dozing off throughout the day... I fell asleep on the couch for a good 2 hours earlier this evening!

Today was a lonnng day in the office. Judy, the lady who prepares the final copies of the surveys that I deliver was out yesterday and the first part of today, so I was cooped up in the office staring at the phone with hopes of time passing by more efficiently. Since she was out, I have been called in at 8 instead of 1, so I suppose that it's a good thing that I've gotten some extra hours this week.

Well, after 9 hours in the office today, I went to the YMCA... by myself mind you. Julie and Kasey (my best friends) are both out of town... and ironically will both be attending the Texas Rangers game tomorrow. Lucky them. Anyway... Ryan was working the evening shift at Subway, so I went and worked out solo. I ran 2 miles and sweat up a storm. It's super discouraging that I somehow have the stamina to finish such a feat, and one would not be able to tell by my appearance. I'm just a big girl.... too bad.

My dad's 54th birthday is tomorrow and my mom and I went to Best Buy and bought him a new tv for his bedroom this evening. I believe it was a 19" Dynex or something like that.... We couldn't wait to give it to him, so he got it a day early. He was pretty stoked. =] The tv he's had in there is seriously older than I am... so needless to say, it was time for a change.

The office closes at noon tomorrow, and I am going in at 8 in order to get my hours for the day. Pay day is next Friday... I hope I can last until then. ;]

<3.....

to get things started...

So, Ryan and I were pretty stoked to find out that Hastings is now renting out older movies and television series on DVD for .99 cents a disc, and you can keep them for a whole week! Needless to say, we rented like 10 discs, haha.

We've started watching Smallville from the beginning, and we're really enjoying it. Ryan loves how cheesy some of the characters are... I just like looking at Clark Kent. ;]

It's super late, well, actually early... and Julie is meeting me at the YMCA in approximately 5 hours to get our morning workout done with. I believe we are going to swim laps in the pool. Fun fun! Haha, actually, I'm a terrible swimmer... but I hear that it's a good workout for all your muscles, so I figure I'll try to keep it up.

Goodness, tomorrow is going to be a long day.

I've got my morning swim to look forward to, then I'll shower and pick Ryan up from his aunt's house, then we're driving out to Grape Creek to my eldest sister's house to get my hamsters! Okay, long story short... My nephew, Daniel, got a hamster from PetCo, I believe... and well, the darn thing was preggers! hahahah, the poor thing had like a dozen babies! Little baby hammies!

Anywho... my sister said I could have one, but I'd have to take two... so... I think I'm taking two girls, so we don't have the same problem! ;]

After the hamster roundup, Ryan and I will probably go to PetCo or something to stock up on food and what not.

Then.... alas.... I have work at 1 pm. Hopefully the phones will keep busy, or the day will go by slowly.

After work, I'm meeting Ryan at Brother Kevin and Amy(great friends from church... youth pastor and his wife)'s house. We're going to Goodfellow Airforce Base to watch Kevin play a slow pitch softball game, and then we're going to go bowling. It should be a fun double date... along with their 6 month old baby. :]

Well, I suppose I should head to bed in order to prepare for the day ahead.


ta ta for now....
