So I've been home a lot now...and getting pretty bored. Except that I can usually keep busy with all teh stuff i need to do around the house. And I found some new computer games to play. If you notice the egg(s) over on the left hand side of the page, feel free to click them. It's some new game I found and I have no idea what to do, except that it's a dragon egg and they need to be clicked on to hatch.
I'm also playing Plant Tycoon, and growing and cross breeding new plants and stuff. It's pretty fun, but can be frustrating at times. I'm going to see if I can get a dragon to hatch...

I've only been awake for about an hour or so. I slept on the couch for several reasons. First, my husband is like my own personal heater, he radiates so much heat when we're sleeping that it's sometimes like sleeping in an oven. I was too hot to sleep, so I went in the living room and fell asleep on the couch. Second, I couldn't sleep anyway, my mind was going a million miles an hour and I was keeping myself awake. Third, I wasn't too happy with him anyway.
Friday evening after he got home from work I mentioned to going to parents house after he got home from Church on Sunday (today). He shot back this snarky remark about it won't be until after 1:00 pm. Now, Church is from 10:00 - 11:00am. He's usually home by noon. I asked him why and he said something to effect of "Guess you really don't listen to me so I'll keep reminding you." He said that he was going to his sister-in-law's house and would be there for an hour or so. Now, I have no problem with my sister-in-law, really, I don't. But there's something about him spending all this time her that I just don't like. Maybe it's because her husband (my husband's brother) walked out on her and my husband tries to council her. I'm not sure. I know that there is nothing going on between the two of them. He said that he made a deal with her, if he can build his plane in her garage then he would teach her about the Bible. Far be it from me to suggest that if she wants to learn about the Bible she pick up the Good Book and go to Church. At any rate, I told him fine, I would go to my parents house by myself. At which point he got frustrated that I just couldn't comprehend the whole "deal" he had made with her, and he suggested that I was stubborn and thick-headed. I am on both counts, but that's not the point. A long time ago he had said that Sunday would be designated "family day." Now I realize that she is family, but why should I stay home alone? Anyway, we got into a little bit of an argument when I reminded him where his brother is, and he walked out the door and went to Church. I stayed home alone on Friday night and watched TV.
Fast forward to last night. When we got into bed I asked him if he was coming with me to my parents house today. Simple question deserves a simple answer...yes or no. He immediately took the defense and absolutely refused to answer me. So we argued for about 5 minutes, until I finally just stopped talking to him. I never did get an answer. So once he fell asleep, I got up and slept on the couch. This morning he got up and went to Church. He should be home in about an hour. I've decided that if he isn't home by noon, I'm going to go to my parents house by myself. but that's one of the reason's why I slept on the couch with the cats.
It's snowing here, as it was when I woke up. I really don't feel like driving in the snow, but it's not so bad. My parents only live about 10 minutes away. However, I do have to get out there and vacuum my back seat in the car. Yesterday we went to Home Depot because I wanted to buy a plant. Up until about 2 years ago I had a dieffenbachia that was about 6 feet tall. I had that plant for just about 4 years, but unfortunately she didn't survive the move to my last apartment. I miss that
plant! But I did buy a new dieffenbachia. I do have to repot her, because the pot that she came in is obviously too small. My husband has no clue and thought the pot was fine. But just looking at her you can tell she is way too big to be in that little pot. I'll probably go tomorrow and see if I can get a new pot to make her a little happier. The cats were very interested in her yesterday and I can only hope that they don't knock her over. She's sitting on a milk crate with a towel over it because I had just watered her and I didn't want to get the carpet wet and dirty. The carpet is new, after all.

It's still snowing and I'd rather stay home, but I haven't seen my parents in awhile so I need to get going. Have a fun day!

Happy freakin New Year! I thought that each year was supposed to get better, but apparently this is not always true. I started off the year pretty good. And by this I mean the first 3 days of 2008. On Friday, January 4th, I was told that my position was being eliminated. So...technically, i got fired. For most, this would be an incredibly upsetting thing. For me, not so much. I actually feel very HAPPY that I no longer work for a bunch of slime sucking scumbags. My husband and quite relieved as well. The good thing about all of this is that I can collect, so I'm at least still making money whilst I sit home and do nothing. And this also means that I can go back to doing something that I loved...driving a school bus. It may not sound like the most exciting job in the world, but for me it is. I love the kids although they can be a handful at times. I guess when you can't have children, this is the closest thing to having them. Driving the little kids...they look up to you, and want to be your friends, and tell you all their little secrects. I'm looking forward to getting back on the road. But, i want to milk this not working thing for as long as I can because I'm so enjoying it!

I'm still painting. I've finally finished the dreadful thing had been working on for quite some time now. It was fun to paint, but the leaves were really starting to annoy me. But it's finally complete, all I have left to do is spray it, frame it and hang it. I started working on my next one last week, and I'm about halfway done with it. It's only a small one though, before I attempt the real big one.
There's still so much left to say, regarding the wedding planning, but I eally don't know where I left off and I'm not even sure that these things really matter any more. I guess, in a way, they do, cause they have dramatically changed my life. Sort of.
And don't feel bad for me because I lost my job. I consider it the kick in the ass I needed to make that change. I hated my job, I hated my bosses, I hated almost everything about the place. I will miss a co-worker, maybe two. But that's about the extent of it. Maybe tomorrow I'll write more. For now, I think I'm going to wath a little TV before my husband gets home.
