Not Ready

I am not ready for finals week.

I am not ready for vocal juries.

I am not ready to pack up and go home for the whole summer while Brayden is here.

I am not ready.

Writer's Block

I have it.

And I have a story due in about 28 hours.

Kaitlin and The Awesome, Wonderful, No Bad, Very Good Day

Top Ten Reasons Why Yesterday Was Perfect:

10) Brayden told me that he likes me best in jeans and a t-shirt. That makes me

extremely happy, because that's what *I* like me best in too!

9) Even after all of the crap we've been going through lately, we can apparently still have spontaneous shaving cream fights. 

8) Brayden made us an appointment to look at apartments, all by himself. And once we got there, he was so CUTE! He knows exactly what he's looking for, and he asked all the right questions and it just made me even more excited about our future, knowing that he's just as excited about it.

7) We spent about two hours outside yesterday. On the trampoline. I've learned that I go flying when both of us are on it :)

6) The weather. Perfect.

5) I got to pull out short sleeves and flip flops. FINALLY!

4) We got to drive everywhere with the windows open, because of the aforementioned flip flop-worthy weather.

3) Brayden took me to the dance. And he didn't complain about it a single time. In fact, he wore me out by the end of it.

2) I made Brayden watch Sense and Sensibility after the dance. And he liked it! But now that I've told you, he'll have to kill you.

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY YESTERDAY WAS PERFECT:

1) I got a goodnight kiss from the most wonderful fiance a girl could ask for.

"We used to walk along the river/and dream our way out of this town."

So I'm sitting here in the library, catching up on some homework, and Brayden is out cold on the couch beside me.  Poor boy ... all of the stress is finally getting to him.  He's got tons to do, but I think I'll let him sleep.  Later, I may take him to Arby's or something.  I have to make him eat.

He's so proud of himself, though.  All of these shirts that he's had for so long that have apparently been too small are suddenly fitting him perfectly!  He's trying so hard to work out and trim up, and we want to have a healthy household, so we're both watching our sugar intake and our "laziness meters."

But I would kill for a triple-decker devil's food cake right now.

In other news, I have no CLUE what to write my second story about.  My first one kinda got torn apart, and I'm not exactly a fast writer.  Brayden's been researching everything under the sun for his, and it has great potential.

Maybe I should write the soap opera that our life has turned into.  I'm sure there would be a market for it somewhere ... I mean, we just had to essentially put a restraining order on our ex-best friend.  How much more dramatic can you get?

Desperately seeking inspiration,

This was one of the most interesting and enjoyable Easter mornings I have ever had!

Life is good.  I'm looking past all the drama.  And Brayden is getting home tonight.

Life.

Is.

Good.

Here's Your Sign

I really hate stupid people.

There was a woman in Berlin just recently who jumped into a polar bear enclosure at the zoo and (go figure) got attacked.  What are people thinking sometimes?!?!?!?!? Honestly, at what point does jumping into a cage with four hungry bears seem like a good idea?  And not only could she have been, I dunno, EATEN, but she could have drowned!  Ice cold water + heavy polar bear = you figure it out.

My White Knight

Ok, a new musical has come to my attention that I simply HAVE to share.

*drumroll*

SHREK THE MUSICAL!

Just ... wow.  Everyone, go buy the CD and listen to the music.  And if anyone happens to have tickets and needs someone to go with them, I'm just volunteering :)
