The food in our cafeteria smells really good, but I've heard it doesn't taste good
Today I started doing my taxes! I don't even have all of my information in yet, still waiting on a W2 (I will have 2 since I switched jobs this year) and some student interest info. I don't care, I couldn't wait any longer!! I'm weird, I know it and I don't care. I love doing my taxes. I love to fill in all of the little boxes and adding stuff up. And I love love the refund that I almost always get! This year I am counting on it for the wedding, and I don't think I am going to be disappointed by the looks of my preliminary calculations :)
So Oklahoma has new license plates this year. Lee pointed them out to me a few weeks ago and I didn't really care at the time. But the more I see them the more I realize how ugly our old ones were. Now I really want a new one!! I am never happy to renew my tag. It always just seems like a waste of money for a 2-inch sticker. Oh, and don't get me started on the employees of the Tulsa area tag agencies. They are always so unhappy to help you. But, next month I will happily march into Barnes' Tag Agency and pay the grumpy lady the 90 or whatever bucks and get my new license plate!! I'm not sure what exactly is involved in obtaining the new plate, but I don't really care because I really want one!
As much as I am bored at my new job, the weeks seems to really go by fast. I think that I have had maybe one week here where I felt like it lasted forever. I am especially excited for this weekend. Tonight Lee and I are having a date, and it's fancy so be jealous. We are going to dinner at this cheap ass hole-in-the-wall Mexican place, they have good food, I agree, but Lee is obsessed. Then we are renting a movie. Hopefully a suspense or scary movie if I have anything to do with it. And since we're going to the video store, you know what that means!! Cotton Candy!!!!! I am like a kid at at the carnival with that stuff. I could eat it for every meal and never get sick. I love it!! I wanted to go to a movie (Revolutionary Road please!!!) but Lee always gripes that the seats are so uncomfortable for him, so I compromised on renting one instead. I will probably fall asleep in the first 20 minutes of the movie, because that's what I do when we rent them.
Tomorrow we are going to do some new home research and see if we are really going to get to move after the wedding. I am holding my huge smile and squeal back until we decide we are 100% certain. But I want to squeal just thinking about it!! Okay, can't talk about it anymore, I get too anxious. Then I am going to hang out with Mary!! Yippee!! I haven't seen her in forever and it's about time for some Mary-Ashley time! I'm sure it will be a good time and we might be mixing in a few wedding-related activities. Saturday will be a good day for sure, well you know, hopefully :)
Now I will get on my soapbox for a minute. I went to WalMart yesterday on the way home. It was hellacious as usual. Some part of your brain must be removed as soon as you walk in there because people act like pure idiots. They wander around, act like they have no idea people are trying to get by, around, (really any preposition will work here) them. Hello!!!! I am so annoyed every time I go, and yesterday was no exception. Just one example of the idiodicy: I had to maneuver around a lady who was sauntering down the pop aisle like she was lost. I found the diet DP area, and quietly waited for a man to get his 1000 bottles of Pepsi. Then, when he was finished and took his cart out of my way, the sauntering lady zoomed right in front of me!! Then I had to wait for HER!! I was not happy. This does not sound as unnerving as it actually was. I literally had visions of screaming at her. The MOST annoying thing about WalMart these days is the self check out. Personally I enjoy the self checkout when I don't have to wait on anyone in front of me, but I am apparently one of the 3 people that knows how to use it. You should seriously be required to take an aptitude test to be allowed to use the machine. It's really not hard people. Slide the little square with all of the lines on it over the glass and put it in the bag, then repeat. Somehow, most people screw it up and then it beeps and flashes and you have to wait forever for someone to fix the problem. And what is with the people who take their overflowing cart to the self check out?!?! What are you doing?! I'm sure that they think it will be faster, but trust me, it is not. okay. I'm finished.
In TV news, Gray's was really good last night. They are never that good anymore, it was like the old days before the writers strike. I laughed, I cried...well mostly I cried. Is Izzy going to die??? And why on earth did it take her that long to figure out what "I'm here for you" meant?! I was screaming it at the tv from like the first second he said it! Maybe it's a brain tumor. That must be it. Because anyone else would have gotten it. There have been talks of her leaving the show, but wow, I didn't think that they'd kill her off. I didn't get to watch CSI yet, because Lee gets annoyed that I watch it so much. I wanted to tell him that I get annoyed that he watches sports so much, but he still watches it. I bit my tongue. Everyone should be impressed.
