Urge

I feel a great urge to blog, but I am not sure what about...

So here are some thoughts...

...I'm ready to be in our house. Stopping by once a day to get the mail, and usually use the potty just isn't cutting it. Only a couple more days though.

...I want to learn how to cook. Like real well. I get urges to buy lots of cook books and search recipes online to try, but I'm a pretty big chicken when it comes to adventures with cooking. Chris will help with pushing this I am sure.

...It's weird that everyone is packing up and moving out and there is all the hustle and bustle on campus. I am so out of the loop, even though I feel as if my job requires me to 'be' the loop.

...In 3ish days I will be moving off of Bluffton campus forever. After being here for 5 years--that's nearly 22% of my life-- I will both miss and be so thankful to no longer live in a dorm. I'll miss some aspects of Res Life aka the staff as well, but definitely will not miss being woken in the middle of the night or having a [mostly self imposed] curfew.

...I still have quite a bit to pack up into our adult diaper boxes--thanks mom for working at a nursing home-- but it seems like now there isn't theme to anything left to back. When we get to the house and open these boxes we'll find books with yarn with sweatshirts with spoons. I guess it'll make for more of a game as we look for things as we settle.

...My aunts and uncles had some serious loot to share with us as we take a hodge-podge and make it mesh. It was/is greatly appreciated! And quite fun Saturday!

...I already want/have invited others over. Then I remember that our furniture is on layaway. We make do. :)

...I really enjoy subbing. Not only do I get to learn more about different classrooms/teachers/schools, but in some cases I am left with lots of "free time" as students work independently. This free time equates to reading time. "Freakonomics" was absolutely fascinating! And I enjoyed reading the entire modern version of "Romeo and Juliet" Friday. There were details I didn't recall that makes the story make more sense now. Fancy how those details make a difference.

...I had a mini-final hoo-rah with my BASIC group and was told a joke. The joke teller warned that it was a bit inappropriate--1 bad word-- but "since we're graduating" she told us anyways. So here's the joke for you and you MUST read it in a Southern accent even if you are only reading it in your head! Here's the joke:

There were these 2 Southern women--hence the accent-- and the one Southern woman said, "Wh-ell for my first anniversary, my husband bought me a ruby red ring!

Second woman a bit disgusted, "Mmhmm."

"Wh-ell for my 2nd anniversary, my husband bought my a brand new car!"

Second woman disgusted, "Mmhmm."

"Wh-ell for my 3rd anniversary, my husband bought me a brand new house."

Second woman, "Mmhmm." "Well, what did your husband get you!?!"

"Speech lessons."

"Speech lessons?!"

"Yep, I used to say f-you, but now I just say 'mmhmm'."

: )

I'll just leave you with that.
