the first person I interacted with flirted with me. It was the cashier at Circle K where I had to get my dose of crack: Dr. Pepper Polar Pop!
Then, I did something kind of productive: I went into the clinic. It was the first time I had any first hand contact with veterinary medicine since December 19th- my finals.
There wasn't anything super exciting about the clinic visit, but it was kind of nice to hang out for a bit.
Once I got home, I decided that I needed to send in my tuition check and I went BACK out, sent the check and went grocery shopping. I walked around Kroger 3 times before I found garlic! But hey! now I know where the garlic lives! When I got home for the second time, I took molasses water out to the horses and pigs- 6 five gallon buckets full! Just a little muscle workout! Once that chore was done I started on dinner.
Since visiting Sarah on Saturday I have been inspired to make more food. To be healthier- I also ordered 3 (3!!) workout videos. One of them has 5 different 10 minute workouts- my goals for this year is to focus more on upper body strength (arms) and my abs. Because my legs are nearly perfect! I digress.... the dinner that I cooked was the same thing that Sarah made for me on Saturday and while it wasn't quite as good, it was still very good. Dad said it was just ok- but he doesn't like garlic (he's a secret vampire!). Tomato basil chicken is one that I shall be making for myself when I head back to school! Because, as I discovered today- its almost as good as leftovers as it is freshly cooked!
And now I take the time to come clean: I know I said that I would wait for Jim to text me before I go and text him, but I didn't I failed. I failed with good intentions though! So, Sarah had one of Jim's kids in class and she told me all about how smart those kids were. I couldn't consciously not tell him that teachers were impressed with his kids- I mean what parent doesn't like to be told how great their kids are? So I texted him to tell him what she said. We started a bit of a conversation. That was Saturday (day 3) then on Sunday I texted him because I went to a TSC store and the customer service was lacking- so I just had to tell him that. We had a bit of an interesting conversation which led him to tell me that he had big concerns (about our relationship- I think) because I always talk about having kids and he can't give me any. That led me to tell him that I don't HAVE to have biological kids (though its true, I would like one). Anyway, we ended that night's conversation by clearing up a misunderstanding AND I told him he should text me first every now and then, start a conversation.
Side note: its not the lack of biological children but his allergies which would limit the number of animals that I could have should we get together which really causes pause for me. (Does that sentence make sense? It seems weird to me- hopefully you get the point!) Again, I digress.... long story coming to a point here: on this fifth day of the New Year, Jim texted me to start a conversation! Whoa. Way to go, kid! Now, I hope that I am not giving him hope for a future relationship- I really do think that ship has sailed but I have absolutely no problem being his friend.
In other news, I am still feeling sassy and smart-assy. I love it. This outlook or way of life or whatever it is, it can stay! My blank book is off to an awesome start- IF I say so myself.
