The Outdated Update About... Pretty Much Nothing!

My Goodness!!! Time most definitely does fly! It's been well over a year since I last bored anyone to death on here, how tragic. What have you been up too? What have I been up to? Currently, I'm sitting on a train that is jostling back and forth so much that I'm having to delete or backspace just about every other word. But the jostling is for a good cause; each shudder of the train car and thought of death at squealing wheels feeling as if they are about to lift off the track is bringing me closer to my mom. I'll be very happy to be able to hug her again, and then cry with her when we pick up my brother at the airport tomorrow night. I'm actually quite bored on this particular trip. The train is running behind schedule and is probably going faster than normal in attempt to make up some time, but I feel as if it's taking twice as long as normal! That's what happens when you're used to driving everywhere- when I just sit, I've no idea what to do with myself!

I've gone back to boredom, I mean school... Again... For like the millionth time... I've actually had friends and family members comment that they believe I will be in school for the rest of my life and that I actually enjoy it... What a horrible thing to say! I'd cry so bad if I let myself consciously believe that, so I keep that truth buried very deeply. I'm heading into my third semester back with 274 more to go, or so it feels.

I'm still with the same job, the same client/patient, the same, the same, the same. Yep, I'm almost about to break the record for how long I've worked for any one company. Usually I move on between a year and a year and a half... I'm almost exactly at a year and a half now, this will be a bit odd to have to put at least three different years on my resume: 2010, 2011, 2012... Scary!

I might have touched on my family in past posts, but since my youngest niece was born (I only have two) I'm officially obsessed with them! My roommate is thoroughly disgusted with this doting aunt! I go into toy stores to see what would make the biggest mess in my sister's home, I mean see what Lizzie and Kenna would enjoy right now... I look at all the little girl clothes and wonder how much threatening it would take to get my sister to send me a picture of them in the cute clothes I buy them... I spend my spare time thinking of where to take them next summer when I get to kidnap them (with permission of course!) for two weeks... I look at pictures I have of them and as soon as I'm done I call or Facebook my sister to whine until she promises me new pictures... I meet someone new and within minutes they know who Lizzie and Kenna are and have seen at least three pictures... I buy a lot of useless things intending to make it into something awesome for them so they'll think I'm the best auntie ever! Yeah, like I said, I'm just a little obsessed. But you would be too if they were your cute, adorable, big-blue-eyed and blonde haired little nieces with smiles that melt your heart and voices that hurt your ear until Lizzie says "Hug, Coley?" or "I love you, Coley" and then you turn into syrup! Yep, you would be too...

Umm, what else... I'm quite excited to go see my eye doctor on Thursday! Is that a little weird? My eyes see double often, like the two eyes that I have do not want to cooperate and let my brain combine the two pictures or is it my brain punishing me for having to use it in school that's keeping the images my eyes send it separate...? Good question! Anyway, this trip is going to go by very fast, I'm only in my hometown for a little over 48 hours this time... Tomorrow morning my mom and I are going to breakfast with a couple that come into her restaurant a lot. The husband is Deaf and the wife signs and ASL (American Sign Language) was my absolutely favorite class this past semester and I just kept going on and on and on about how much I liked it and signing to anyone and everyone who wouldn't get mad at me. You like how many "ands" I managed to get in there? So yes, breakfast in the morning, tears in the evening, and better sight the next morning (I hope)!

Everything is still as boring as ever here in my life, but for some reason, there's a lot of laughter and fun... I think I might have to look up the definition of boring because I could have sworn that work, school, homework, and sleep would count towards that style of a mundane life... Guess just not if I'm in the picture! :-D
