I might be the only one who doesn't get that saying.
Happy as a clam?
How in the world is a clam happy?
I feel as though they wouldn't be, seeing that they're life consists of being eaten. Hm.
Nonetheless, That is what I am.
Happy.
I know it's been quite a while since my last post, but I do have to admit that it was an amazing post because let's face it..pinterest is such an amazing site. If you're not on board I suggest you get there. pronto.
Anyways, as of late, I have just been so over joyed for no apparent reason.
It could be because of my amazing job, it could be because I am moving into a really nice place soon, Might be because I have such a wonderful family, it could also be because I'm falling more and more in love with my man, every day... I'm not really sure. But I what I do know is that I like it.
I like it a lot.
This week has been sooo long. For the past two weeks, I've been in what Apple calls a "transition" schedule. Basically what that means: I've worked 11 days straight with 2 days off... not two consecutive days either. siiiigh. Add OverTime to every day that I've worked and you can add another long sigh.
I know what you're thinking... "You just said you were happy. Happy as a clam matterafact." Well don't get me wrong. I still am.. I just had to prepare you all, and inform you of why this week, as long as it was, is also going to be so amazing!
Let's start out with PUMPKIN CARVING. That's right. It is by far, my favorite thing to do during fall. Seeing that Arizona lacks beauty and it stays ugly all year, I have to fake my brain out by lighting pumpkin spice candles, ordering pumpkin chai lattes and of course I have to engage in pumpkin carving. That is when I feel the warmth and happiness of fall.
So, it's pretty much a given that after my long 12.5 hour work day, I will be picking up candy corn, a sbux chai and then making my way over to the Nielsen's to win the pumpkin carving contest... even though the contest may or may not be made up in my mind.
Tomorrow I really have a lot to do though. I have the unbearable task of getting my nails done. hehe joke. ;) It is a luxury that I can't really afford but after paying off all my bills it is a luxury I'm allowing myself to have. After that, I have to participate in the wretched task we all hate-packing. Bleh. but the good news is that after that I get to start my.. drum roll please... ROAD TRIP. wooo. I get to drive 5.5 hours in a sweet little rental. Some of you may think I'm crazy... I'm really not. I just really love driving. It relaxes me. and plus, driving means that I get closer and closer to seeing My best friend.
Which brings me to my next point. Approximately 24 hours from now I will be reunited with Miss Ali, my kindred spirit.
She is My soulmate friend, so I guess that makes her my soul friend.
and yes I just said that.
It makes sense to us.
She moved away form me, I know, how dare she right?
She woke up one morning and decided to ditch ugly AZ and head off to beautiful California. But, who can blame her really.
Ever since, we've been trying to keep in touch. We're like a long distance couple. It really is quite tragic that we don't get to hang out every day anymore.. being a grown up really does suck sometimes. however, I have been feeling like a little kid again. I mean ever since Jon and I booked this trip, I can't sleep and I get way too excited for my own good. I think part of it is because we're going to disneyland, and we're going during the halloween festivities. So I mean really..who ISN'T excited for that.
But if I'm honest with myself I think the reason for my excitement is just because everything is really falling together. I'm in a really good place and I get to spend 4 whole days with some of the best people I know. And in reality who needs a "reason" to be happy and excited.
Not me.
Bring on the weekend!
ahh, I can't wait.
Until then!
-me.
