Things that were, and things to come...

Brett should be home soon. I just finished cleaning the kitchen so we'll be ready to start dinner when he gets here...salads with grilled chicken. We've been making the most of our George Forman grill the last few nights. ;-)

Work was ok again today. Maybe I've finally resigned to the fact that I WILL be there until about 4:00 and my days of being first cut are over. I've tried to enjoy myself there more this week.
When I got home I went for a 30 minute walk and did a little ab work afterwards. I am having a fat day though...don't know why. I miss the days when I didn't care what I ate and I envy those that don't...especially those that eat whatever they want and still look thin. I used to be one of those people.

Only 2 more days of work...

I'm becoming more and more aware of the fact that school starts in about a month. Did I accomplish everything I wanted over this summer? No...
but it's ok I guess. Overall it was a good summer. I would have liked to overcome some issues with Brett while we had more free time and "being tired" couldn't be an excuse like it was during school...but it doesn't look like that will necessarily happen. Oh well. We have some time...and we even have the semester if it works out that way. At least I'm not as paranoid about the fact that we wont be seeing eachother as much when school starts. Usually the conflicting schedules would REALLY get to me. But, I'm stronger on my own now...I'm my own person. For once I think about myself more than him. Although that sometimes worries me, of course. Part of me is actually looking forward to the semester, surprisingly.

I hope the semester goes quickly though. And I hope I get to take the accelerated spanish. It's like a wild goose chase trying to figure out who to contact about this, but I'm still working on it.

I kind of want to get up to Arkansas one more time before school starts...but I also want my last month to be relaxing and planning a trip can be counterproductive to that at times. I'm also worried that I am over-working my car. And should I take Brett with me or not? Part of me wants to take a weekend away from him...before it was to see if it'd help me make up my mind about being with him...but now it's more that I think the break would do us good and make me appreciate him more.
I also need to figure out if I can get up to visit Candi one weekend...
I'm fed up with plans. I just want open space in front of me to do whatever I want.

And here I thought I wouldn't have anything to write about tonight.

Thought/quote of the day:
My thoughts on Willy Wonka: Now having seen it, I don't see the point in them making this movie. Even WITHOUT comparing it to the old one, the movie lacked charm. I didn't feel for any of the characters because the writing/directing didn't allow you to. Towards the very end they seemed to try to add some emotion and motivation to the characters, but by then it was too late. And, I actually found the old version to be "darker" than this one...at least in the ways that counted. I will admit that Johnny Depp is still a good actor in my book, because he truly was NOT himself nor any other character he has ever played before. However, overall I considered the movie boring and rather pointless. If you're curious to see it for yourself and make up your own mind, by all means go for it. But, if you only wanted to see it if it's GOOD, don't waste the money.
