i wanna dyson!!

So I met the creator of the dyson vacuum cleaner last night, James Dyson. And it wasn't a huge schpiel about buying one! He was actually quite an interesting person, and I got to drink REALLY good wine! Yippie! Also, I got to hang out with my friend Summer, who I was finally getting a chance to spend more time with. And then, watching Friend's tonight, what type of vaccine cleaner did Monica have? A dyson my friends! Whee. Well, needless to say, I really want one now. Not like it would make ME much cleaner, but it's a pretty vacuum cleaner.

i win

So I figured out how to add a title to my posts... yea for me!
My man is driving me crazy!!! He's now apologizing, and so it's hard to stay mad, though he's not done anything BAD. Just kind of stand-offish and saying that he thinks I'm not taking this moving thing seriously... although who began searching for a place to live first... ME! So then I start talking about when we can go and look at places and he's like, "eh, well, whatever." Ok, so now who's not taking it seriously.. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!! It really drives me nuts sometimes... and of course it's hard to say anything because he'll ask for details and of course I don't have as good a memory as him, and I can't hold a candle in a debate with him, so how am I supposed to get him to see how I feel when I can't win! Maybe I need to stop falling in love with smart guys and stick with the monosyllabic, but extremely pretty versions.... nah, then I'd be bored. Damned if you do...
And yes, I am very nervous about getting everything done. He doesn't always realize that I internalize my feelings most of the time, so one doesn't always know what I AM feeling or worrying about. And how can I worry verbally when I know it'll set him into a funk and get him more depressed. Vicious circle is what it is and it can suck sometimes.
As for other things, I had a meeting for the McKinney Relay for Life and it went well, although everyone talks forever and I got out 30 min late, when most of it doesn't pertain to me. But they gave us committee members a R4L windbreaker to wear and it got me excited. Ok, that sounds a bit materialistic, but I think it was more of the "we all look alike now and are solidified in our purose" thing.
I should be finishing my end of the year letter to family and friends, but it's getting late, and that's what work's for, right? :) I wonder how I'd go about getting Oprah over here with her swarm of organizing experts to clean my house. Hmmm, maybe I'll have to work on that for my next apartment.

I am now onto the task of finding a place to live for the next few months. I don't know how the hell we are supposed to get out of here by the end of the month, when no one really does anything to get it ready. Yes, we've had a garage sale, but there's still just way too much crap around here for our own good. I'm hoping one of my friends will find it in their heart to take us in for a few months, and then.... on to Ireland! If we're lucky, the job will start at the end of the school year, so I won't have to break my contract... but if Ireland calls, I shall answer!

Ahhh, my very first blog. How very exciting! We'll see how long it lasts. If only they could wire my brain into the postings, it would so much easier. It always sounds better in my head.
