Update on my Life

September 16, 2002 - 2:58pm

Haven't been in much of a writing mood lately. It was a slightly tough week. Lots of world events to pay attention to with the anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Then Wednesday night Kevin and I had a relationship talk. Good things came from it but it was tough at the time. Then I heard Bush's speech to the United Nations encouraging military action be taken against Iraq. It was an excellent speech and he has some very strong points. But war always worries me.

In the midst of the major events going on around the world, I'm trying to re-teach myself a lot of basic math in preparation for the GMAT. The countdown has begun. I take it a week from yesterday. I'm ready for it to be here already so I can be done. I worry about this kind of thing way too much.

Friday night Mom, Dad, Karen, and I went to a free concert hosted by the Oldies radio station. We saw Steppenwolf and CCR (Creedance Clearwater Revisited). It was an especially fun night, and I probably should go see more live music.

Saturday I had a hard time settling down and getting any quality studying done. So somehow I ended up going out and buying a couch and a loveseat. We've been wanting furniture for a really long time and I saw an ad in the paper for an outlet store. They just happened to have the same set I had been looking at their regular store. I called Kristen up, she came to see, and approved. The next thing I know we've got new furniture. I'm so excited that my living room looks decent now!! Pictures are coming as soon as I finish Scotchguarding them.

Saturday night I got together with friends and had a great time. The quality of conversation was so much better than what I've been having lately. It was completely refreshing. I know some really wonderful people.

Sunday was studying and rearranging the furniture in the house. I also got to have a couple phone conversations with old friends like the Grants and Cameron. I didn't make it out to grocery shop like I wanted but I'll do it tonight. Heading out to work in a few minutes. The new person at work is starting, and I'll be training them for the next 3-4 weeks. I'm actually looking forward to going to work today because of it. Plus I'll get to catch up on the news on the way to work. I intentionally ignored it all weekend.

Which furniture-oulet store did you buy the couch and loveseat? And, what's the deal with Scotchguarding pictures? Isn't scotchguard the chemical that goes into carpets to make it stain-resistant? Or am I thinking of something else? ;)

I think she meant she will take pictures after she scotch-guards the new furniture.
