Just an update.

So I've been a little M.I.A. with my posts lately, and I'm sorry to those of you who read this. Getting back to reality after homecoming weekend has taken a little longer than expected, partially because there was so much catching up on sleep that needed to happen, not to mention just lazing about because us old folks over here weren't used to 1 am and 2 am bedtimes anymore and it took a lot out of us. Work hit us both hard, too. I realized today on my day off that my last day off was last Sunday, meaning I have worked 7 straight days in a row. Woof. I worked at the store of course, and when I wasn't there, I was at Pastabilities, and two of those 7 days were doubles spent at both jobs! I really meant to post my outfit I wore to work Sunday, which included my adorable hot pink blazer, my recent purchase of black boots from Target, and a topknot that actually turned out well (I was very proud), but it just didn't happen.

The good news is, even though mine and Nick's schedules have been pretty much opposite as of late (and the weekend we both had off we barely saw each other anyway), we had most of Friday together. He didn't work til 5, and I didn't have to go to the restaurant til 4, so we could really get some quality time with each other. It was very much needed. We just get so caught up in work and only see each other in the morning before work or before bed or, if our schedules are somewhat the same, for dinner AND before bed, we kind of let the romance slide. Hey, it happens to the best of us. We are crazy about each other of course, but it's really stunk that we've had to spend so much time apart, even though we live together. We slept in, got McDonald's breakfast because I had been craving it ever since my day of hangover shame (it was the only thing that sounded good but sadly it was evening so I couldn't go get it haha), watched movies, laughed and played together, and even took a little pre-work nap. It was bliss, and it really helped me go into my entire weekend filled with work. I'm satisfied for now after that day, but I'm glad that Nick is getting promoted at work and is now going to have control over schedules, meaning he can make sure we don't have so many opposite days!

My day off today was refreshing, and I'm once again realizing I don't need more than one day off really because sometimes I just don't know what to do with myself! I guess I'm a workaholic, or maybe I just really like my job(s). Even though I like playing with clothes more, serving at the restaurant is still great and it's finally picking back up from the slow summer. I made good money Friday and Saturday night and I'm hoping that continues, even though right now that's going to bills (at least I can pay my bills!). Nick and I had a little Skype meeting with our DJ last night and I'm getting more and more excited about our wedding (not that I wasn't before). I'm also realizing how much more I still need to save! Being that it is now halfway through October (how is that, by the way????) and the wedding is about 9 months away, I'm ready to hunker down and be a lot better at saving my pennies. Ah, the reality that no, I cannot buy everything I want. Darn. Visualizing how great our wedding will be and all of the little details that I will be spending my money on definitely helps, though :) Wouldn't it be nice if I could just win the lottery? Yeah, I thought so, too.

I'm heading in to another busy busy work-week, but I'll try to post more regularly. Nick made homemade beer cheese soup on his day off last week and it is absolutely delicious (one of my mom's recipes) and I will definitely be posting that soon! Other than that, hope you had a great Monday and I'll post something hopefully more interesting tomorrow ;)
