Adventure!

So today I went on an adventure with TC. We went down to Schaumburg to go to IKEA, which is really just short for Heaven On Earth. We got lost a ton of times, which was actually kind of fun, now that I'm not in a Jetta being piloted by a crazy person going 100 mph ;). I got a new lamp for like $5 and a shelf for a total of $13 (brackets and board sold seperately). I wish I had more money to just spend on everything I could ever dream of. I keep telling TC that one of these days I'm going to buy a house and furnish it with 100% IKEA. They had this pretend house set up and it was so nice. I want it all. Oh and when we were leaving they had a whole bin of catalogues, so I took 4. Haha. I figure I'll decorate with them or something.

Anyways, we had another adventure coming home, and we ended up getting lost like 6 more times (Illinois is all messed up. Dislike). Since we were running behind schedule TC had to call into work, and he found out that the hostess quit. So, I told him to call back and ask if they were hiring another hostess, and that I was still interested (I applied a while back). Then I get this cryptic text later on that read "Be here at 9 if you want the job". So...I got the job!

Nobody can call me a slacker now, I hold 3 jobs AND I volunteer. If I were smart I would start taking online classes or something, but I remember how well that went.

I'm actually kind of wondering how I'm going to balance work and school in the spring, once I go back. I think I'm going to end up reducing my AE availability and doing class in the morning or something. Or vice versa and Subway during the daytime and then class at like 6. I really need to get on the ball with applying to Madison. I'm probably going to send in all of my formal requests on Friday when I get paid again.

Oh and to answer a frequently asked question: Yes, The Boy and I are still together. We just live in different houses and don't see each other very often. Which, while I'm not thrilled about, I'm not super depressed over either. I get the whole bed to myself. And its actually refereshing not to see each other all the time. It's like we're dating again and not married. Which I'm realizing more and more that I'm not really ready to think about after all (long story).

I don't have anything else to update on really. I'm trying to get all my finances in order, but that's not going so well. I'll get everything straightened out soon. I just wish all of my bills didn't come at the same time. I'll have to call somone about that. I hear that most places are willing to adjust billing cycles if it means that I can pay on time. Whew.

Okay, I should stop blathering on now. I really should consider sleep, I have to work at 10:30 tomorrow. Night :)
