No surprises

After a long day of work (on four hours sleep), I went to the craft store and picked out a relatively easy teddy bear sewing pattern. It was a solid learning experience. I gained some knowledge of the ins and outs of my sewing machine and realize I need some good scissors to cut my pattern pieces. These things will have to wait until next payday.

This November, I'll need to go to the DMV and get my updated drivers license. Oh. Joy. I was always pleased by the fact that I weighed ten pounds less than what it states on there. However, that's veryclose to no longer being true. I need to take off a few pounds I've put on since life was batty. What better time to take off those pounds again! What motivation! I need to start small, make better food choices, work in exercise, and most importantly of all, keep the stress to a minimum. Isn't stress the crux of most personal problems?

The best thing I do when I'm feeling stressed is remember my dear friends and W. Especially W, as I see him the most on any given day.

 And he surprises me so. Yesterday, I was whining that we couldn't get married on a Friday because that's his gaming night at our local game shop. He told me, "Why would we get married on a Friday? To save money? There's no cutting corners on our wedding, that's a very special day." The way he can be so practical about the future and his love for me makes my heart skip a beat...
