I officially have a new best friend and she doesn't even know who I am.
I have spent more time in the presence of Lorelai Gilmore in the past month than I have with my own family, any of my best friends and even with the majority of my coworkers. I would call Rory one of my best friends as well, except that she's become stupid all through Season 5 and I'm not much of a fan of hers anymore.
My life is a lonely one, obviously. I'm housesitting and going INSANE with this puppy who randomly gets excited and jumps on me, licking furiously, if I perhaps blink too enthusiastically. She's had 3 accidents on the floor and it's not at ALL because of any lack of letting her outside, as it seems I do it "just in case" every half hour or so.
I like housesitting but I've come to the conclusion that I should never live this close to my workplace. Ever. I've been over there randomly in the middle of the night at least 3 times and once during the day since being here at the house. It's bad. I just seriously have no friends. That's the ultimate conclusion that I've come to.
I've had very little progress in the way of deep thoughts lately. No more butterfly signs have stood out to me...there's only been one sign put up in front of that church since the butterfly one and it says "THIS IS MY FATHER'S WORLD" in the spirit of Father's Day. Nothing inspirational to me, to be honest. I haven't spent much time praying, either.
Oh man speaking of praying and God and stuff, I've gotta remember to hit a bank machine tomorrow morning. I'm trying this new tithing thing since I've never actually done it before (I've never felt it completely necessary to tithe directly to the CHURCH because there are many ways to give back to God's kingdom, financially but apparently I was wrong in that belief) so we'll see what happens. I mean I'm not sitting there EXPECTING anything to happen but...yeah I dunno. I just know I should be doing it and I've been thinking about it a bit this week and it's probably time to get on it. But that also requires remembering to have cash on me when I'm on the way in to church. Weird. I'm not the kind of person who remembers these things. Sure, I'll remember to stop for coffee on the way because it seems that I can't survive a day without it. Funny how that works.
Along the lines of coffee...last weekend my parents went for breakfast with their friends and I tagged along. In fact, I got to the restaurant first and saved a table for everyone and accepted an offer for coffee. When my parents got there, they looked thoroughly confused when I answered that yes, it was in fact coffee sitting in front of me. Coffee has been a morning staple in my life for at least the past year and they didn't know that?! It's weird that there's this whole area of my life about which my parents are completely clueless, because it's never lived in front of them. As far as they know, I'm still the Jacquie that doesn't even need to be offered coffee anymore because she always turns it down. What they don't realize is that I only turn down coffee after dinner. I'm not awake when they have their morning coffee otherwise I'd join them...but I won't drink caffeine around that time of night because I already have a hard enough time sleeping when I'm not hopped up on caffeine. So that was a little strange...having my parents wonder when their daughter started drinking coffee, since I hadn't for almost my entire life.
Since tomorrow is the first day of having one church service and therefore I can't sleep in as late as I would like to (since I would likely have been going to the 11:15 service if it were a normal day), I should be trying to sleep right about now. Last night I was up WAY too late watching WAY too many television interviews with Lauren Graham on YouTube...and then my stupid internal clock woke me up at exactly 9 am this morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. And I realized about an hour and a half ago that I have a headache. Boo.
Oh but wait, I forgot to mention the dress incident. Prettymuch all it includes is the fact that I bought a dress a couple of weeks ago and it's super cute. No one forced me to buy it and I didn't have any special occasion to buy it for. But I decided to wear it when working at the bank yesterday and it was sooo fun. I did my hair in a poof and put the rest of it in a clip and had wedge sandals on and everyone at the bank kept saying how cute it was. :) I actually agree, which isn't something that happens often.
Anyways, the end. Time for a cold foot soak(argh why do I keep forgetting my allergy pills?!) and nappy time.
