Several little paragraphs about... uh, nothing!

I thought I would attempt to write today while here at work. It has been INSANELY busy this morning so far, but once 12:00 hit, everyone stopped calling. Phewf. It is now 12:29, and I have finally caught my breath. I get to go for lunch in 31 minutes!

What to write about...I considered writing about work, but I realized that its just too risky to write basically anything about your workplace on the internet. Therefore, I shall refrain from any negativities in this area of my life. So far my job has proven to be very flexible for my student schedule, which I have most appreciated, and I truly enjoy my coworkers. I just wished I had my chair back. If you want that story, I'll just have to tell it to you in person :)

Anyway, Valentine's day was nice. Jeff and I went to The Granery. He had been telling me all week long that we weren't going to celebrate this year and blah blah blah, because he had to go on a business trip on Monday morning, and I was all, well obviously we'll do something Saturday night then... okay Sunday night?? Nothing was happening and I was getting a little teensy bit ripped... and he finally cracked and told me Sunday night that he was actually leaving Tuesday, and we were going for dinner on Monday. And he gave me a single red rose. What a good man!

Does anyone know a safe way to clean white leather? I have a white leather watch band that desperately needs to be cleaned but I'm afraid to use the wrong product on it. Like lime green paint for example.

I'm thinking about going to the Czech Republic in May with the University. It would be for 14 days, and there's also a day in Vienna, Austria. I think that it would be incredibly exciting...
I am just trying to find a happy medium between being practical with my money and with splurging excessively with it. I've been to lots of countries but never to Eastern Europe.

Well... I have been slightly boring today. Hmm, sorry folks. Gotta go for lunch!!!

Two hours later...

Back from lunch now. I had some leftover Kraft Dinner, mmmm my favorite! I like leftover KD even better than just made KD for some reason. It's also really yummy if you fry the leftover KD. Then I went and got myself a coffee and someone at work here brought yummy cookies for my afternoon snack. Delicious!!!

Sometimes when I drive, I feel scared that my hood is going to fly up into my windshield. I fear this because it has happened to me, not once but twice. Once on circle drive, and once on Preston Ave. This happened with my old car, which was totalled (of no fault of my own I might add), but I still have this crazy fear that it's going to happen again with my little Geo. I hope it's something that I will eventually get over! But you really can't imagine my fear.

This afternoon at work has been absolutely crazy, worse than this morning! Geez. I am here all week long, full days because it is Reading Week, and every minute I have off, I really like to spend at work. Or maybe it's actually because I am broke. Yeah, I think that is the one. Oh well, when I get the paycheck I go to my happy place. The mall that is.

So I signed myself up for a "Gmail" account. I have jumped on the bandwagon (or is it, I have jumped the bandwagon? I'm not sure). I haven't used it yet though because it's about my 5th email address now. One hotmail, one at Blue Cross, one at School... Okay so it's my fourth I guess. But still, I am just happy that I can be one of the first to participate in the newest email fad. It's wicked awesome!

k, kristin, i'm very disappointed. I'm supposed to be the one and only 'annonymous' that leaves you messages. and the other day there were two others!! i'm shocked! i didn't think you could do that to me...... and just to clear the air, jenna was right. i'm disappointed that i couldn't keep it going longer than that. oh well, have a great day...

Well, here it is, my first comment. This was something I had to comment on because it's something I struggle with also; The hood flying off your car into your windshield is not that "strange" compared to my car nightmare: I have a terrible fear, especially while going down hills, that the front axle in my car will just fall off and there will be sparks that eventually lead to fire and end up inevitably with a huge explosion (due to the gas tank, obviously). Now, unlike your story this has never happened to me before so there is absolutely no reason for me to think this will ever happen to me. That's how sick I am.... I made the whole thing up in my head and it scares the crap out of me. I felt you needed to know this so you don't feel silly. So there you go. I hope you feel better, I know I do.

Kristy-Anne, gmail is an email account by google, and you have to be invited by someone to get an account. i opened it because i was hoping to start an account with less junk mail. i haven't sent anyone my address yet because i'm not sure i want to completely give up hotmail!! let me know if you want to join, and i'll send you an invite.
as for the green paint on my white nixon watch, well, as you know i painted my room last summer that light lime green color...stupid me kept my watch on. GREEN PAINT DOESN'T COME OFF!!!
BLAST!
