My birthday is in one week from today. Fall break starts when school is over tomorrow. And we might even have a countdown to FFXI FanFair, if we get lucky.
On my birthday, I will be 25. A quarter of a century. I asked someone a few days ago if I would finally have people starting taking me seriously once I hit 25. However, just like when I asked if I would be taken seriously at 18, 21, and when I got married, I was told no. Oh well, being serious is overrated. lol No plans yet for my birthday. We were going to go to Canada, since it is fall break the whole week and I have no school, but we changed our minds. School has been so busy I haven't been able to plan much. I don't think I will be disappointed though. Hubby has always remember my birthday and our anniversaries, and he always makes them memorable for me. He's so good to me <3
I also look forward to next week because I will get my hubby back. This whole week he has put in SO many late hours at work. Every day he plans on a regular eight hour day, but something comes up and he doesn't get home until really late. We had our date night planned for tonight, but he will be at work until at least eight again, so we shall see after that.
Hubby and I are reading the Bible. We started it this morning. I have read BOM, D&C, and PoGP fairly consistently for the last while, but he wanted us to read together again. So we started the Book of Matthew this morning. He has our study path already decided. I am happy to be reading with him again, and I am more than willing to let him decide where we are going with it. He is the head of our household, and I am happy to let him lead the way. I will be right next to him, reading, supporting, and enjoying every step of the way. I look forward to this.
Something funny I wanted to share with y'all. I have a lot of English papers to write for my English class- about one every other day. I don't mind writing them, in fact, I enjoy it. I like being creative and coming up with different things to write about. Yesterday we were assigned a short paper- a descriptive paragraph. I chose to write a descriptive paragraph about Hubby's computer area. I wrote mostly truth, but I threw in a few extras and left out other parts. Here's the part I made up:
The right side of the table holds a few random objects, a gaming controller, a lone USB cord, a red pen-cup stuffed as full as it can get, and a white mouse that stands out like a sore thumb against the classy black color of everything else. Spread across the two computer stations are Jolly Rancher candies, quite a few empty candy wrappers, bags of sunflower seeds, bits of papers, notes, an unopened fortune cookie here and there, and cords- in, out, and between everything.
I asked Hubby to proof my paper for me. While he was doing that, I went off to the kitchen or something. When I got back, he had cleaned his desk! lol I guess he didn't like that I had added the parts about candy wrappers and sunflower seeds all over the desk (he has a bag of seeds, a pile of candy, and a trash can to keep the garbage), so he cleaned the whole desk. I laughed for a while- but I hugged him and told him I loved him. He just grinned at me :D
I have another CougarCry meeting tomorrow. In my ACA class, we recently discussed the difference between scholarly writing/ journaling and just plain writing. For example, anyone can write in a blog. But that doesn't make it truth or even correct. However, being published in a book or newspaper means several people review the article, piece, and/ or material before it is published. So material read in one of these sources is more reliable than other sources. Basically, I am excited about having pieces that *I* wrote published in a newspaper. It means that my writing is more than just blah blah blah words, it is going to be taken seriously and, more importantly, it will be helping people. I can't tell you how much that means to me. I have a blog for me to write and to help myself. But now I will be helping other people- and a large number of people too. What a great feeling.
I'm going to play a lot of FFXI next week, since I will be home the whole week. I want to lvl my WHM and RDM to 37. It won't happen all in next week, but I can at least get them so my main won't be gimped anymore. I would love to get my BRD higher too. I like BRD better than any other job so far, and I would love to have BRD as my main. I haven't even started COR yet, though, so maybe I should start COR before I take BRD much higher if I am just going to change to COR in the end. I look forward to the new dancer job, too. I won't be one of the ones running out to lvl it first, but I do plan on taking it to the Dunes at least. It looks really fun. I can't wait to see the impact it has on the other jobs in the game. I wonder what the other two new jobs will be. . .
Guess who got paid another $18 today? That's right, me. I have slowed down quite a bit with the paid blogging stuff, but I am still making some $$$ with it. (Minus $5 for the digital thermometer I bought on eBay.)
I have been working closely with the host of my website lately. We are in the process of getting my blog set up on my domain under my domain name. I don't exactly understand the difficulties, but I may have to change hosts because of it. Nothing that the host has done wrong, in fact, he is great. I am hoping we will be able to get the issues resolved, and I can keep my domain where it is.The Apple Festival is this weekend! Yay! I love festivals, and I love this one. We are going on Saturday afternoon. I'm still trying to get in touch with Jessica and with Chris, to see if they want to come with us. But no matter what, I am going, and I can't wait.
Well, I am going to get back to work. I am working hard to finish any homework and all loose ends by tomorrow, so that I have NO HOMEWORK over fall break. So far, I have this accomplished.
