So, yeah, I know I didn't update yesterday. But really don't give a damn. And today's post will touch on that, among other things.
- Yesterday marked 6 years of dating Brett. And did we do anything special? Not really--went to Toys'R'Us (because we can) and Target (to spend too much money on razor blade replacements) and Brett went into work for about 15 minutes and Traders Joe's (for the essentials). We hung out and played video games and just chilled, basically.
That's just the way I like it. I like that I'm comfortable with him, that we can both relax in the same room, enjoying the closeness, without having to constantly be talking or doing stuff together. I like that enjoying each other's presence aspect of our relationship.
Though we will be going out to eat tomorrow night to celebrate :)
- Because of the aforementioned anniversary, I, from time to time, get asked it there are any "major plans" in my future. (My favorite way I've been asked this is if Brett was planning any visits to jewelry stores in the near future. As if I would know.) We talk about it, sure. But honestly? Marriage is nice and I look forward to wedding planning one day, but it's expensive as hell. In today's economy, I know I'll be footing the bill for a large portion of that. And with my student loans payments and other bills, that's not exactly something I can afford. So, yeah, we've talked about our future. For now, it's pretty far off in the horizon.
- Fun fact--a lot of my friends are totally understanding when it comes to this and don't pester me about it. So thanks, y'all :)
- Sometimes I worry that because I'm not in academia or education stuff at the moment, I'm losing that part of my nerdiness.
Then I realize that one of my long-term objectives is to categorize my 1000+ book collection by LC Call Number, and I have emailed the actual Library of Congress to ask them on how to find certain book numbers, and have researched how craft my own LC Call Numbers...and I worry a little less.
- Sometimes, when I think of libraries and such, I wonder if I should have gotten my master's in library sciences instead...I can tell you it probably would have been easier finding a job relevant to my degree, that's for damn sure.
- Yesterday, at Target, I discovered they sell Panera soups. You guys. Panera's Broccoli Cheddar is my life blood. I was entirely too excited when buying that soup yesterday.
- I was listening to my iTunes on shuffle the other night, and Rooney's "When Did Your Heart Go Missing?" came up, aka one of my senior year anthems. I wondered what they were up to now, and found lead singer Robert Schwartzman's Twitter (I was at the time updating my Twitter [@sallem5]). He's generally better known as Michael Moscovitz in The Princess Diaries. Gif for reference:
I was like, alright, follow him, that's cool.
Well, guess who requested a follow-back? That's right, that guy.
So yeah, that's my life.
(Btw, if you haven't figured it out yet, the title is reference a news ticker...because you're just getting whatever rolled into my head.)
