the madness that is my life

I just realized that I start too many posts with "so". I will henceforth try not to do that. I can imagine as a reader, that is very obnoxious. If you are one of my loyal fans (ha!), then I apologize. But if you are one of my loyal fans, that probably means you are in my family and already know that I write like I talk and therefore, say "so" a lot and have long sentences without any breaths like this one.

In other news -

1. We have begun the long and arduous (that is the right word, right? it sounds good, at least) process of house hunting. I have to say, I have only been at it for a week and I think I have convinced myself that I am ok with staying in an apartment for another year (as horrid as it is!). I have learned that I can not afford to live in the neighborhood I want to live in without putting in a lot of effort on some serious repairs, which I do not feel qualified to do. But, as my dad suggested, I have prayed about it and I am sure that there is that perfect house out there for Drew and I and I just have to patiently keep looking.

2. I am struggling with the new one-space-after-a-period rule. I just don't think I can conform.

3. Only one more week with Seniors!! WOOHOO!!

4. Only 2 more weeks with everyone else! Woohoo!!!! (lower case, yes, but it also got 4 exclamation marks)

5. I think it is funny that as addicted to TV shows as I am, we do not actually have our tv hooked up to cable or even network connections. Thank God for Blockbuster online! Drew has had me watching all of these scary shows lately (Supernatural and Jericho to name 2). I have tried to rent 27 dresses four times now and it has been "sold out" at blockbuster! Darn you chick flick watching people!!

6. On the art front, I did a little research this morning about some art classes for myself this summer. I think I am going to call the Craft Guild of Dallas tomorrow to see what I have to do to register. They have some really cool stuff!

7. I like the number 7 much better than 6, so, I decided to end my post with this number. On to make some eggrolls for dinner. And the best ramen ever... Tom Yum flavored and only 28 cents each!! This is probably the crappies photo ever, but the only one I could find online. Buy this stuff, it will change your life:
