I is here

Okay Sassy, my dear. Here I am, guilted into posting. As the somewhat "good" Catholic, my guilt has forced me to take the few precious moments I have that are not filled with work, household duties, wedding planning, school, basketball and most importantly - TV to bring everyone up to date on all that is Thatgirl7278.

Currently, I lay in bed pondering my very next move. Do I continue to search for homes online, trying to find the most awesomest house within our price range or do I spend countless minutes/hours immersed on hulu.com watching movie trailers and old tv episodes.

So what's new with me?

Semester #2 is over and another 4.0. Yay baby! I'm a rockstar. This one was a bit trickier as the papers were longer and some group assignments were involved. Never an easy situation to be in. I have gotten used to the longer commute, but such is life. Especially in SA where everything is all on the outskirts. Or so it feels. I am a bit bummed that w/work I will have to try and stick it out an additional semester but since UTSA is giving me GRANTS (AWESOME!) and my job is helping out too, who am I to bitch. Seriously... in the end, I think I will have paid maybe $2k for my 3 years of graduate school. That is like nothing. I am so blessed.

Moving on... so some TV shows this year killed me w/their damn cliffhanger endings. Grey's, Private Practice, Lost and Smallville...ugh! I was ready to shake my damn TV. Then to top it all off the power button on my remote stopped working. I was actually getting in and out of bed just to turn it off. Well, for two whole days. Then I had had enough of THAT shite and went and got a new remote. Nevertheless, surely you can feel my pain.

On the wedding forefront, I still haven't decided on the bridesmaid's dresses. I know... bad bride! But hey, it's a lot more difficult than it looks. If I knew anyone who could do it, I'd have the damn things made/designed uniquely for my BMs (that sounds like poo).

In addition to dresses I still need to get some cakes and flowers. Speaking of flowers... against EVERYONE'S better opinion , I am taking some floral arranging classes in July & August in the hopes that maybe I can save a few bucks and learn something new. Hey, it couldn't hurt. Besides, I was wondering what to get myself for my 31st birthday anyways... why not floral arranging classes?! Exactly.

Friday and I have started the preliminary house-buying steps. We have narrowed it down to two neighborhoods. They are huge ass neighborhoods tho... but we are also pretty effin' picky. Recently, I was checking one of my free credit reports and found that effin' Columbia House or BMG has actually reported my for collections. They probably sent a damn movie or cd to an old address. Someone kept it and they are charging me for something I never wanted. Fuckers. If this keeps us from getting a good rate, I tell you heads WILL roll. Ugh!

So my dear old (not almost 8!!) cat is showing her age. Not that she is THAT old, but her new vet recommended she be changed to mature adult cat food. When he said it, for a second there I thought, why does it sound so dirty? Will I need to be 18 yrs old to buy it? Will it have dirty pictures on the bag/can of a cat rolled over showing off its private parts? Then I realized he meant she needed old cat food. Not food that's old, but rather food for old cats. Awww, my poor mamas has been reduced to chewy (and smelly and expensive!) canned soft cat food. I actually got really scared there for a few hours - but all is well. She is adjusting to the new cat food, as am I. Canned cat food is kinda nasty. But oh well, you do these things when you love someone.

Speaking of love... I don't really thing my parents are in love anymore. Wow. I said it. It's real. It's been 3 months plus since the fit hit the shan and I'm still not sure how I feel about it all. I mean, they are still together and I should be grateful, but it doesn't feel quite right. I wish they could see it as I see it. Why do some people just get so scared of the world "therapy"? What's wrong with the idea of seeing someone who just might have a better clue at what comes next? Someone to help give you/us/me a little perspective. Personally, I know I would have no problems seeing someone. Hell, I already have. And it helped. A little. But I'm not the one that needs it the most. At the same time I am so damn scared to get involved. In the end, I know if I don't it could go from bad to worse.

I'll let you know how it all goes...
