Catching up w/my homies

That would be y'all. Y'all are my homies. Just clarifying.

OK!

Let's start with why I have only been averaging like one to two posts per week as of late. I'd like to say not much is going on - but it's more like "where does the time go?!?!" A couple of months ago at work, I volunteered to help with a separate grant summer program. Not really expecting it to come to fruition to be honest. Well, my prayers were answered and for the last two weeks I've been breaking my back trying to get this program off the ground, practically by myself. It feels good to be working with kids who actually WANT my help again, but at the same time it's a pain in my getting-fatter-by-the-day ass. Let's just say when I told one co-worker (another department, but still counts) what I was doing, her reply was "who'd YOU piss off?" So - as you can see, it's not exactly a position of envy. In any case, it's coming along successfully and my days are swimming by.

I've been having dreams about exes lately. Not THOSE kinds of dreams, just dreams that involve them somehow. I don't think it means anything, I just think I need to stop falling asleep with my glasses on. In any case, they are unsettling. I don't need to be spending ANYTIME thinking about those fools.

People keep asking how the whole "living together" situation is going w/Friday. And to be honest, it's going very very well. Now mind you, we've both been so busy at work that every time we're home together, we're just thankful not to be at work, but irregardless we are getting along better than ever. I have become more conscious of his little quirks, etc, but to be honest they are so insanely adorable that I love him even more because of them.

I filled out the FAFSA (Financial Aid application) the other day. That thing was a little confusing to me. And I'm going to be 30! I can only imagine what some punk 18 year old is thinking. In any case, the Federal government has decided that I am capable of contributing a little less than one-third of my yearly income (not take home!) to my graduate education. I think that the Federal government is smoking crack. Straight up! That is crazy. I barely have $500 in savings and you think I'm going to be able to drop $12k on school!?! Psh! Think again.

Or rather, I should be thinking again. About this whole going back to school thing. I still haven't paid off my undergraduate degree and now I want another one (a graduate one this time)?! Some might say that is just selfish. I just can't stay at this same level at work. I gotta be movin' on up (to the north-East [I did that on purpose] side!).

Well, my homies. I've given you plenty to digest at this point. Next post I'll discuss my "Sex & the City Movie" observations and what I plan to do on my summer vacation (psh! yeah right!).

BTW - Is the election over yet? I haven't heard much these days.
