(76) Oops

Ummm I'm a day behind....OOPS. Last night i was watching a movie and couldn't keep my eyes open.  I gave in to sleep and never got a post up yesterday.

The plan for friday(yesterday) was to spend the day doing homework.
I got absolutely no homework worked on. YIKES!
Somehow i knew this would happen. I always think, i will do this on this day and that on that day and it will all be done well before it is due and i will be so happy it is finished. Then somewhere along the line, usually at the beginning of that plan, things get all messed up. I just don't due the things i am supposed to.
Eventually it all gets done, but not without tons of stress and unenjoyable rushing.

SO back to yesterday.
I enjoyed my morning by sleeping in and then finishing the last few pages of my book-i couldn't keep my eyes open the night before to finish it.
My dad didn't have work that day so there were even more distractions around the house. (I can be distracted by anything when there is something i need to be working on-yet don't want to do)
I watched greys anatomy and was not very impressed by their musical episode. I found it hard to watch, and it distracted me from the plot and dialogue. When that finished, dad and i watched parenthood. Then I thought I would do some homework. Instead i revised the calendar with all of the assignment due dates. That counts as schoolwork, right? Ok probably not.
A little while later, after realizing i wasn't going to be productive, I chose to watch a documentary about models called "Picture Me." It followed the life of a model from the time she was 19 until she was in her mid to later 20s.
In the afternoon close to evening, me and dad ran some errands. We went to home depot and then to lowes to look at dryers. Then we went to the grocery store to pick up a few things.
We dropped the groceries off at home and then grabbed some coupons and got dinner at wienerschnitzel. 
I had an ice cream cone, fries, and 2 corn dogs. Derlicious.
Krissi came by the house around that time to pick up a book and i also loaned her water for elephants.
I don't even remember what i did after dinner, but i went up to my room at 10 and started watching a movie and then fell asleep.
It was such a wasted day...but that's what spring break is for. At least i think it is.

(75) A long adventurous day

I didn't end up going to bed until 2am last night....i just couldn't stop reading.
I woke up around 7:15 this morning from a text alert from my bank, informing me that i had spent over my "normal($125)-pre set" amount.
I decided to get up and start my day instead of sleep in.
I did some more laundry and read some more.
Around 9:45 i walked down to the laundromat rolling the laundry basket of wet clothes behind me. I'm sure i looked really weird...but i just wanted dry clothes.
I spent around 45 minutes at the laundromat and then i walked back home with my basket of dry clothes.
Success!
Around 11:15 another adventure began. 
Today the filming of a spoof music video was started. We were at the church from 11:30-5:30 working on it. Then around 5:30 the worship band started practicing. I was singing tonight so i had to ditch part of the video making time.
After church a big group of us went to Denny's. We ended up being there for 2 hours. 
I got home around 11:30.
My dad was still up so we chatted. I always love dad chats.
Now I am about to finish the last 30 pages of water for elephants and then go to sleep.
Tomorrow i can sleep in but then i have to get to work on homework and other school stuff.
So not the way spring break should end.

(74) Nothing goes quite as planned

So i semi planned out what i would be doing today and actually accomplished a fair amount of it.
I woke up and poured myself a cup of coffee and went back to my room.
(i knew if i didn't go directly up to my room, i wouldn't be back there till way later. It would have been an unproductive day)
I picked up and sorted all of my dirty laundry and put all of my clean laundry on my bed.
I brought all of my laundry down to the garage so that i could start washing it.
I put on a load and threw the clothes from the washer into the dryer.
I went back in the house and enjoyed my coffee and browsed the internet. 
A while later i switched the load of laundry over and began a new load.
I went back in the house and lounged on the couch reading water for elephants. 
This process continued for hours-until 2 o'clock.
I went to check on the dryer. It had been over an hour since i had put the clothes in the dryer. They were still wet. I set the dryer again and hoped it would dry. I went out 45 minutes later. No change in dryness.
The dryer was broken.  Of course i was on a time crunch. It was around 3 and i had to leave for work at 4. All of my jeans, (i wear jeans for work), were in that load of laundry. Thankfully i live near a laundromat and was able to get them dried. I made it back home with about 20 minutes to spare. Just enough time to get ready.

Also somewhere in that time frame me and mom discovered we have a bee problem. There were a couple buzzing in the house. Mom killed several and they just kept appearing. They were nesting in the chimney. While i was at work a fire was put on to exterminate them. I believe it worked. At least i sure hope it did. 

I felt like i accomplished a fair amount today, but I just realized that when i go up to my room i still have to face the laundry that needs to be put away. It's always something.
And tomorrow...i may have to spend some time at the laundromat finishing the laundry that i started today.
But for now, i will shower, read a little more, and then hit the hay.
