Silver and Gold...

Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.

That was my mantra going into college. I think I did a pretty good job of making new college friends and keeping up with my old high school friends. For the most part. I honestly think I did better keeping up with old friends than most people who move away to college. Sigh. Sometimes I seriously get bummed out about the people I'm not close to anymore. There are just those friends that you lose touch with, or they don't care to maintain the friendship- it's a chore to them, or you grow apart and can't imagine being friends any longer. It's very sad to me. So if we've grown apart, and especially if it's my fault, then I'm very sorry. Just know that I truly miss you.

Apparently I can't post pics of Brooklyn. Not on any public website. But she is safe and sound with Ryan and Lisa and I am so excited for them! I wish I were home to play with her. I love me some newborn babies!

The dryer in our house is broken. So our landlord bought a new one. But it doesn't hook up to the same type of power source as the old one. So it's just sitting there... not plugged in... useless. So our house has clothes hanging all over the place drying. Thankfully we didn't have many clothes to wash this week. Odd since we've both worked a lot this week. At least the drying clothes make everything smell fresh and clean. Hopefully Emily doesn't tear them apart with her claws!

I apparenty have a pinched nerve in my head. Not pleasant. I don't quite know what to do about it. I don't want to spend the money to go to a chiropractor or even to get a massage. My dad says medications won't really help. All I can do is keep massaging it myself, take long hot soaks, and try not to aggitate it any more. Hopefully it will loosen on it's own. Otherwise I'll go around feeling like there's a baseball in my head forever. Urg.

God has been blessing Matthew and I greatly in other areas of life. It looks like Matt will be switching back to evening shift in October. He prefers those hours and it pays more. Plus he'll be gaining an extra day. Woot. And for me, well, let's just say things are starting to look up in some areas. Can't give details right now, but hopefully I'll be able to give some positive news in the next couple of weeks! God is good. He always looks out for us in our times of need. I serve a great and mighty God who truly loves and protects His children.

I painted my toe and finger nails with my red red polish. It always makes me happy to have red nails. Sophisticated with a touch of skank... just a touch though. No more. A pity I wash all my dishes by hand and work with bleach every day at work. It chips the nails horribly. But I'm a pretty good self manicurist so I can fix it if need be. I might as well get used to having chipped nails. Baby time is fast approaching and I won't have time to do my nails every week then!

So, I got double piercings in my ears when I was in junior high. I wish I hadn't, but it was the popular thing to do back then. I hate it now. I'd been trying to grow the holes in for months. They were starting to fade, but were still very noticeable. Stink. So last night I decided to just give up and wear earrings in them again. Sure, it's kind of cute, but I wish they would heal entirely. I need to get some new diamond studs. Maybe I can convince my husband to get me some super small diamonds for Christmas. I only like small studs for my second piercings. Something very slight, barely there. SO now I once again sport two sets of earrings in my ears. Woo hoo.

My husband bought me Panera for dinner last night and we got Coldstone for dessert! He's such a good husband! Of course, he got the new Batman game yesterday also... but apparently he really likes it. He got the second to last copy at Gamestop. Maybe someday I'll play it too. You know how I feel about Batman.

Last load out of the washer. I heard them working downstairs a bit so maybe the dryer is hooked up now! I hope so, this last load is towels!
