A Saturday Post??

Yep folks -I'm doing it...a Saturday post.  I never did them when I worked that desk job, and then I didn't do them when school started because I was doing my new job, but since I haven't started back to school or work yet (that's coming on Monday....*sigh*), I thought I'd clean up a few things for you! 

First of all -if you've never been around Priester's Peace, THANKS for stopping by!  I'm here with my cup of tea and hope you are too (mine's Chai...)!  I've recently joined 20 Something Bloggers, so if you're here from there, give me a shout!

Warning: this MAY be a long post...but will also probably be funny....since I haven't written it yet, I can't make any promises....

  

New Years was SO WONDERFUL.  I know I told you about my husband, but I really didn't tell you about me, which, as we all know is SO much more entertaining!  ;)  Just kidding, though -I'm not that egotistical...really!  But you'll have to wait for a different post, because I want to do it justice.  My gf Helena's already written about it here.  It's HILARIOUS.  Seriously.  You'll cry happy tears.

After New Years, we've basically been transitioning.  And reapiring my car.  Right now we're spending time with my in-laws, which is really nice.  They're taking care of us too.  I'll be sad and lonley when we have no one to take care of us.  That means I'll have to become...a real adult again!  Gahhhh!

Blog transition is almost over.  JOY!  I just need to double check and re-edit some stuff, and she'll be ready to go!  Glass Half Full WILL be back on Monday!  Stay posted!  Get your story picked out!!  :)

Now -on to the good bits.  *clears throat*

Fact 1: Some of you know I'm a "do-over" student.  This means that I have one degree, but am back in school to get a different one. 

Fact 2: I LOVE my toshiba notebook.  It's lasted me FIVE long and healthy years.  It'd last me longer, but I won't, if you get my drift.

So, knowing those two facts, I've been dying for a MacBook.  I don't care -toooo- much which type of MacBook it is, I just want one.  It's got amazing music software that would be excellent for clients and is really integrated so that I am able to keep all of the stuff together.  Well, over break Murphy has been complaining about my computer.  You, of course, know what my solution was!  BUY A NEW ONE!!!  heh-heh-heh....  He's not into that, he's more into you know....living within our budget and means, and making toshy (my toshiba...get it?) last as LONG as possible.  He's impossible...and that's impossible seeing as I'm this close *holds up fingers* to tossing it out the window. 

*clears throat*

So.  Since then (about two weeks ago or so...) I've been working my powers of persuasion.  HA!  For me, it's noting sexy or feminine.  I've been reasoning him to death. 

 Yep -that's how he likes it.  JK!  *giggles* 

I finally broke through the guard!  Last night Murphy took me to the Apple store in the mall.  We had a Mac-dude answer every silly question I had.  Seriously -they were like, "can I make a website?" and, "how do I write papers?".  He was really nice. 

So after an hour and a half -Murphy's hooked.

I'm getting a MacBook...

A MacBookPro.

*REALLY happy dance*

 Happy Saturday!!!

Keep on keepin' on!

Check, please!

  I started off posting two days ago feeling so...zen.  After the car fiasco yesterday, and some of the projects I have up today, my zen bubble has popped.  It's so popped it would blow your mind.  *sigh* 


Check for an order of zen, please!


If I showed you what I look like now, you may just cry.  All of my real life things are busting back in.  You know that disgusting feeling you get when you're coming off of vacation and submerging back into real life?  That's what I have -grossness.  *head nod*  I have requests to do this and that (and if not done fast enough, even more requests...), schedule concerns, work hours, session documentation, already not having time to Jazzercise every day like I planned, and that twisting feeling in my gut that I thought I'd lost.

The UPSIDE to all of this is that I realize it, did some Wii boxing yesterday, and am SO ready!  *play Rocky theme music*


Keep on keepin' on!





PS -I owe you a bunch of crafty photos!  Now they're on my computer, and I should have time to upload them, but ...don't keep your fingers crossed!  :0

Under Warranty

I love that life is so unpredictable.  Just like you can sit down to have a cup of coffee with a friend and see another old friend, or in this very specific case, you can be driving your car, just like normal, and hear a sound similar to that of a landing airplane.  Even more specifically, like the plan is landing on the roof of your car. 

This happened while we were in Pittsburgh.  Today, I took the car in to find out that it needed a new wheel bearing.  Michael and I were sweating it -that's a major expense for us...$1000.  *cold sweat*  Just a bit ago, I called to check in (read: "Am I REALLY going to have to pay $1000?!?!).  The very nice man told me that it was under warranty and that we owed NO money.  *swoon*

Just when you're not looking for those sweet moments in life, she surprises you and blesses you with what you truly need.

Cheers to your small (and big!) blessings!
