I owe some credit

I was having a TERRIBLE day yesterday. Like bad. My top six reasons? I thought you'd never ask! (Why six? Well six is a bad number, to further my point.)

1. The cable was out. AGAIN! We finally found out the problem, but it doesn't help when you can't get someone out until the next day to fix it. Therefore, I was going to miss The Office. The Big One. JIM AND PAM'S WEDDING! The weight of it all was only getting heavier when I realized we don't know anyone well enough here to just jump in and say, "Hey, we're gunna watch The Office, mmmk?" Sure we could have watched the full episode later, but there's no fun in that! Plus, we were going to miss Community, Survivor, AND our new favorite show, Flash Forward. It will fill the LOST shape hole in our hearts after it ends...tear.

2. I still can't find a job. The economy sucks! NO ONE is hiring. NO ONE. And if they are, I've been in touch. Trust me on that. Taylor has a wonderful job for the next 4-5 years. Talk about job security. When he's done here, I plan to be jobless with a baby on the way so I'm hoping I can make SOME money. Sure, I've babysat. But SAH moms don't need me very often. Which I wouldn't either so I don't blame them. In the meantime, I still don't have a job. There are so many bad connotations with not having one. People give me this, "So what do YOU do" face after meeting my brainiac husband. Then the face gets more twisted when they find out I sit home and eat bonbons all day. No, not really but I feel like I should get some now that I've been home for so long. I would say this is the only feminist bone in my body. The "I want a job and I want it NOW" bone. I'll keep praying, I know God has something for me. If not, I'll probably sulk. And then get over it.

3. The house is not clean. I've discovered there are other women out there like me. They HATE cleaning, but LOVE a clean house. It makes sense to me! I don't like looking at the clutter, but I don't want to make the effort to tidy up. I do eventually, but its like pulling my own teeth.

4. I don't have a gym pass. If you happen to live in Michigan, can you please tell some high up person from 24 Hour Fitness to build a stinking gym within the state? GOOD GRIEF! Back home I had TWO gym passes. One of them was for 24 through my family, the other through UCI. Oh how I miss it. There is the option to run outside, but the weather kinda sucks right now and I hate getting wet. Oh sure, there's a tiny rinky dink gym in the housing office but there's no elliptical. No point wasting my time.

5. I can't get my school records. I've been wanting to finish my last 4 stupid classes and I can't. I've called numerous times but all I get is sarcasm and some major attitude. Its infuriating. They want me to come into the office to get my info. Um, HELLO? Did you not hear that I'm 2500 miles away? All I can say is LAME. I'll try again but as Gwen would say, "I've had it up to here."

6. I didn't set anything out to cook and I didn't realize it until it was too late. Plus, I was too upset to think about being a good wife. Yeah, pretty selfish of me. But I was not in the right mind either. Things were looking a little better when I saw a job I might apply for at the mall. I thought this would be the turn around! I'd pick up Taylor from work, we'd go to the mall and have a fun dinner, (because eating out is a treat for us, not to mention food court food is cheap!)
and watch the latest Netfix because the cable was out and there was at least some replacement. We had never been to the mall prior to this so I checked out the website to see what kind of food court they had. Hmmm, you mean NON-EXISTENT food court? Dude, they had Chipotle, (lmbo, do you know how many calories are in those things?) some Chinese place, (um, no) and Ulga's Kitchen. Let me think for a sec...yeah, no again. Have these people heard of Sbarro?!

I was pretty ticked off by then. Everything I was doing was resulting in something that would be on FailBlog. It was more anger than anything else, so I started crying of course. I do put a lot of pressure on myself because I like to be perfect. Even if I'm not. I like to have an amazing husband, job, house, all that and a bag of potato chips. It wasn't working and I was crying like a baby.

:Que Trumpets: DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAA!

I like to give credit, where credit is due. These people have saved the day, and I owe it to them to say my thanks.

Of course Taylor is numero Uno. I called him in my pitiful sorrows and told him about my sucky day. He was really busy so he had to go but he sent me a text later telling me he would take me out to dinner and all we would do is relax and put our feet up tonight. Nothing to worry about. How's that for Night In Shining Armor?

We ended up going to this really old diner and eating super cheap food. The main thing he said was I don't need a job, I just need to be a wife. Its so true! He can pay the bills. If I get a job or not, my first priority is to him. And him to me. Did I tell you he's super smart? And always right about everything? I hate that. But love it. Sometimes.

See these girls on the right of me? They freaking rock.

Amy (far right) and I text pretty much all day. I've gotten a lot better at it because she keeps me on my toes. She didn't even know I was having a bad day, and she sent me a picture of these beautiful flowers, just because she thought of me when she saw them. If I wasn't crying before, I would have been when I saw them. And Jenny, (middle) sweet Jenny. She's always sympathetic to everyone. She's got the most compassion I have ever seen in anyone in my life. I was asking her is she saw how badly Sheryl Crow screwed up Brad Paisley's song on Leno...she actually felt sorry for her! I'm a nice person, but maybe I'm not sympathetic to most people. She really reminds me when I should take a step back and see...ooh yeah, that would be bad for that to happen to someone else. I missed that lesson in preschool, or kindergarten?

Dear sweet Camille and her hilarious husband Kyle
They are from this blog.
I took the photo from her site too. Total klepto.

Where to begin? I discovered her through Katie's blog, I featured it on our blog in the one when I talked about HomeGoods.
I started reading from the very beginning, and now I'm caught up with her to present day. She cracks me up. A lot of times I read to Taylor something hilarious she wrote and we laugh about it for days. Like what she said about Martha Stewart. Hang on...Ok back from laughing.
Anyway, I've been emailing her back and forth because I just think she's so fascinating. I like to ask her about Mormon things. I swear we share the same brain sometimes. Her emails really put a smile on my face, especially the one from today. It did more than a smile, I laughed out loud. I only wish Taylor was here so I could tell him another funny thing she said.

Pam & Jim
The knocked up bride, and the guy I'm not so mad did it.

It was pretty amazing the cable came back just in time for Community. Especially since it had been out for 7 hours. But it happened, and I got to watch my shows. Including this one. I really wish things were a little different on the show. Like the whole shacking up, baby before wedlock, getting married really soon after dating thing. It is very true to Hollywood happily ever after, but love doesn't always work out so perfectly. I can't hate them though. They are just so cute together, and boy is that kid going to be cute too. If you haven't watched the episode, you need to reevaluate your priorities. Then watch it. I'm the grandmother. Kind of. And I will always feel bad for Michael Scott. No matter how badly he acts. Ok no more. WATCH.

This guy...

Years ago, I went to church with him. He was one of those guys that really had his head on straight, and everyone admired him. He's older by some time than me so I never really got to know him, but I very much enjoyed the talks he would give at youth group. Through some very unfortunate events, his family left our church, and then my family left that church too. It was such a sad thing and we haven't really talked since. Facebook is a mighty great tool for finding people, and so I did. I might have said before that I'm a FB stalker so you know I already saw his blog and have been watching his videos. Let me tell you, I've laughed my butt off for some time. Like all the crazy things that happen to him at work, and all the crazy things he says. Whether he meant them or not. I felt so much better after I watched a few yesterday. I only wish there were more because I've watched them all. It would be cool if I could edit like he does. It's already enough with all the Mac stuff I know. But I enjoy him. You will be a better friend to me if you watch his videos. Plus, he loves his wife!

There you have it. Just some of the people that made me feel a lot better yesterday! Key word, SOME. Have a great day! It's FRIDAY!
