Cooped up

Today I took the day off work so that I could finish studying for a test I have tonight. This class isn’t extremely hard or anything, but working full time and going to class every night really does make it hard to find time to study. I am going to be so glad when this class is over.

I feel like I’ve spent lots of time in the past few days alone in my house. Brian has had to work a few days this week that I’ve been off, and I’ve been having to study so I haven’t been going out and doing anything else. One of the things that’s good about this is that I’m really falling in love with our house. I love the way it’s laid out and I love our porch. Right now it’s raining and I took my laptop out to our back porch so I could listen to the rain and write a little bit before I get going with studying today. I love the patio furniture my parents got us and I love the extra building that I’ll use as my painting studio once I have some time to go in there. We never even looked at houses, this was the very first house we looked at and we were told about it by a friend. It really just fell into our hands and we didn’t have to think about it at all. It worked out perfectly. But, after a few days of being cooped up anywhere it starts to get a little crazy. I think today I’m going to school to study.

Since I haven’t had much time to do any extracurricular activities lately, I’ve been dreaming about things that I want to do. Here is a list of things that if I wasn’t in class I would want to be doing, and that I will hopefully do as soon as class is over:

1. Go see My Sister’s Keeper
2. Cook dinner again every day
3. Make chocolate chip cookies
4. Set up my painting room and start painting
5. Start going to Bible Study again
6. Paint my fingernails
7. Go to the mall
8. Take Timmy out for coffee
9. Go to the OKC Zoo
10. Have my 4th annual wine party – need to think of a good theme
11. Go visit Jessica
12. Ride my bike
13. Redesign my website
14. Go on a date with Brian
15. Get my hair cut and dyed

That’s just few things. Those came out really fast.

I guess I’m going to finish up my studying and take my test. Organic Chemistry blows.
