Since I'm really not in the mood to put together a real post right now, I am planning on leaving some of my thoughts based on a survey. Kinda touches on a few subjects I'm thinking about right now and other things that I rarely think about, but probably should more often. Anyway, hope it all makes sense! It's called "finish the sentence" survey:
I've come to realize that my last kiss was: way too long ago...when will Josh be back in town?!?
I am listening to: commercials on tv
I talk: when necessary
I love: my family!
My best friend: always looks out for me.
My first real kiss: quite a long time ago.
I hate it when people ask: so you're really an accountant...how old are you?
Love is: grand if you can find it.
Marriage is: something to take very seriously.
Somewhere, someone is thinking: is there really a city named Flippin? (Yes, there is one in Arkansas!)
I'll always: think way too hard for my own good!
I have a crush on: someone very special and near and dear to my heart.
The last time I cried was because: I was completely stressed out.
My cell phone: is always close by.
When I wake up in the morning: I always make my bed.
Before I go to bed: I brush my teeth.
Right now I am thinking about: one of my most favorite people in the world and wondering if he stayed in Little Rock tonight.
Babies are: cute but not for me right now.
I get on Myspace: pretty much every day.
Today I: went to work.
Tonight I: went to Syberg's with some friends to listen to the awesome band.
Tomorrow it will be: laundry day and a time to relax and chill out.
I really want to... be content with everything going on in my life. Fat chance of that right now though!

Another week come and gone....
Well time for a little update....since I'm sitting at my mom's right now waiting while I do my laundry, I figured there was not a better time to put a post together.
Easter turned out to be a great day. My dinner went over pretty well and we had a lot of fun just watching movies and talking. It was a very low-key Easter and I think that's what made it really nice. Usually I'm running around on holidays trying to visit both sides of my family so to be able to stay home for one was a treat.
I went back to work on Monday and was faced with completing March financials for a few of the companies that I work for. March also signified the end of the first quarter so my boss and I were also working on figures to give to the CPAs at our tax firm so that we can make an estimated tax payment to the IRS. Of course we don't want to have an enormous tax bill at the end of the year so we're trying to get projections together to make sure that our numbers are fairly accurate. Nothing like getting stuck with a huge penalty for estimating incorrectly.
Tuesday Josh finally came into the office to meet all of my co-workers. He was in St. Louis for a dentist appointment and thought it would be nice to stop in and see me for a bit. It was a quick visit because he had to be to work in like 2.5 hours and it's a 2 hour drive back home so we weren't able to go to lunch, but we were able to catch up for a few minutes and he finally got to meet most of the people I talk about constantly. And finally the office got to meet him, considering many of them thought he was imaginary since he hasn't been able to come in before. Hopefully we'll be able to meet for dinner soon and spend more time together. It's definitely crazy for him right now trying to finish up the last month of the semester and still take care of everything else going on with the Guard and work and his family.
Also by stopping in, he finally got to see me in action! Ha!
Tuesday night Shell and I had dinner and tried to hang out for a bit before she moves to Columbia to take a new job. It seems weird to have one of my best friends growing up not within a few miles of me....but I guess it will be like the days when she and I were in college and in two different cities. I definitely hope everything works out for her in Columbia with the position and hopefully we'll be able to visit one another on a regular basis.
Wednesday night my Grandma had the family over for dinner, which was very nice. It's always great to get a home-cooked meal when you get off of work at night and I must admit I've slacked in that department lately, so I really enjoyed the dinner.
Last night we ended up going out after work and it was a lot of fun. Of course it was the usually crew that went out and we just had drinks and appetizers at SidePockets. I was ready to play pool but didn't want to wait for a table because it was packed in there...maybe next time!
I'm not sure what's in store for the rest of the weekend...it's cold and rainy and it seems like a good weekend just to stay in and chill, but we'll see!

An Easter first...
For the first time since moving out on my own, I have decided to cook Easter dinner. I invited my mom, step-dad and grandma over for baked penne. Doesn't sound like a normal Easter dinner, but I wanted to be original. It should be nice...I was stressing out earlier, because I haven't been the greatest housekeeper lately, but I finally got everything organized. Hopefully my dinner turns out and it's a nice afternoon!
I have to say it's not been too exciting lately. I've just spent most of my time working my butt off and trying to stay ahead of the game at work. It's been pretty cool though learning more about trucking and cross-training, especially since it helps me understand how my job fits into the whole scheme of things. Maybe if someone else can cross-train and learn my job, I might be able to take a day off this summer! M is definitely trying, but with all of her work, it makes it very difficult to find the time to show her what I exactly do all day long...and it's really hard when I don't do many of the same things from one day to the next! (I like to think of myself as the utility player in the office...I do what needs to be done at any specific time...thank goodness my Accounting degree prepared me for that!)
Anyway, I hope everyone has a very happy Easter!
