Whistle While You Work

So, here I sit. In the high chair. In the computer lab. At school.

I don't have any homework to do today. So I'm catching up on The Office.

This is the glory of my job. Monitor the studies of our beloved athletes, help them out if/when they need it, do my own homework, relax when I'm done, and get paid all at the same time.

This job is perfect.

I find that I can't sleep very well at night anymore and I don't know why. I wake up in the middle of the night, thinking about Taylor. I seriously hate being away from him for very long. It's the weirdest thing...I've never been like this before. I can't fall asleep for hours, and when I do, I wake up just a bit later...then it's hard to fall asleep again. I find myself just craving him...it's hard to actually put my body at rest when he's not with me. I suppose this may be a sign or something.

I've never depended on someone like this before. It's sort of....refreshing.

I've finished up his gifts for his birthday and for Christmas. Now I get to tease him for awhile! :P Just in case, I'm not posting what I have for him until he gets them.

Today marching band rehearsal was pretty short, which is awesome, considering the day gets shorter and shorter and colder and colder. Got to eat dinner early. In theology I started to make a list of possible Christmas gifts for my family. I need to investigate this further! I need to call my sister, my mother, and my brother. Plus, I need to scout out the whole scene at my brother's when I get there for Thanksgiving.

I cannot WAIT to go back to St. Louis. I miss the midwest so much. I thought I'd be ridiculously happy to be away from there. The truth is, it's my home. I hate being away. I miss Illinois....Seriously. The things and traditions I know and love are so far. At least I can see them when I go back!! I made a list of holiday traditions and things that I love about the St. Louis area. I'll maybe do a little ditty about that one day later.

I bought some ornaments from the Hallmark store in the mall. I plan on getting one more...I got one for my nephew, and my brother....the Grinch for Austin and the leg lamp for JD...or for my dad, I haven't decided. The last one will hopefully be Flick getting his tongue stuck to the pole. That one will probably go to JD now that I think about it. The plan is give these ornaments to my favorite men after Thanksgiving dinner is over, because we decorate the tree the day after Turkey Day. Something a little special for the guys. :)

I have another small ornament...I think I may give it to Taylor's mom. His family comes this weekend..I got it for free, and I don't really need it. Plus she does nice things for me all the time, so this would sort of show my gratitude for her kindness.

I was just surprised with a smoothie from my coworker. God blesses me with the best people, I swear! :)
