Good Chinese and Thunderstorms

i am just chilling out tonight. there were great thunderstorms and i got some yummy Chinese take out - very good! it has been a long week and i am so ready for the weekend. although it will be busy - i have to get ready for girls camp (yay for being a camp counselor...in TENTS). it will be in cloudcroft, so the weather should be nice. i really hope so.

i am so ready to be out of midland. for good....i am just getting bored, i guess. so at the moment i am just biding my time. soon enough i guess. i have to learn to be patient...ew...

lately i have been reading a lot of "fluffy" books....you know, like harry potter and twilight lol. i think my brain is actually SHRINKING! so now i am i knee deep into war and peace... i actually really like it so far. but ya, i was way overdue for a real book with some teeth. barnes and noble classics for the win!! kate was the inspiration - she started reading it and wasn't bored 100 pages in so i thought why not!

i know this is all a little random, but i am all over the place tonight. my head is going 100 mph, i need to lay off the caffeine i think. i cant stop thinking about what is next. i want the next adventure. like i said ....i am BORED. i want to do something fun, something different, something hard! nothing is hard lately - just stressful. the grinding monotony is wearing holes in my soul. i want something so much more than what it is so far.

so what sounds good? spain? boston? portland? i cant pick yet....lets just see what happens!
crossing my fingers now...

TREKKIES

Hahahah - Hello, my name is Brooke. I am a closet trekkie. it has been 1 day since my last viewing. so ya, the new star trek rocks! i cant wait to see it again!! was funny - laughed the whole way - and just enough cheesy moments that bring back all the old great trekkie moments.

lets see.....today put one house under contract (crossing fingers) then i had an open house on my house, went to a BBQ and went to mothers day shop.....we were going to go see star trek again, but that fizzled ( i am determined to see it a couple more times) then went and hit literally 4 golf balls with buck (he laughed at me a lot.....i need to practice lol) so not much going on today, but it was a good day....great weather, enough to do so i wasn't bored, not too much drama ;)

tomorrow on the other hand could be disastrous. holidays are normally NOT fun at my house (i think out of habit by now) so i would totally hide out, but have to grin and bear it i guess. who knows maybe it will be great..... i said maybe. crossing my fingers again.

k - i am crashing now, caffeine wearing offf.....going to read until i fall asleep.

happy traaaaaaaails to yoooooooou .....until we meeet agaiiiin......

funk

So - I am trying to sell my house.  i have been in it for over 2 years and i love it, but i am sort of at a crossroad.  i dont want to stay here in midland.  i want to go back to school for either nursing or ultrasound or radiation tech.  something that i can do anywhere.  so in order to do that i need to dump come of my debt and concentrate on school.  this requires moving back home (well probably not requires, but it will make it a lot easier to pay for school).  i am not excited about that part, but it will be over in a couple years and then i can leave.  

i am crossing my fingers that my house will sell soon, so i can get on with my plan.  once i have dwelled on it for months and thought it out and planned it once i set it all into motion i get impatient to have it all done with.  i am not by nature a patient person.  even as a realtor it is nerve racking to have your house on the market...an irrational response, but i cant help it.   

on top of that my moms mother is dying.  we were never very close.  but we went to see her nonetheless.  the bright side of the road trip was that my aunt flew in from spain and we got to play with her for a few days.  i think mom should go back and see her sister one more time before she leaves the country again.  i am planning on taking mom to see her once i sell my house.  (not the best way to save money, but it will be worth it to go with mom.)  

i am still in a funk.  i think it is because i am having to be patient.  it grates on every nerve to wait for something i want.  lol.  but i think it is a good plan....i just have to wait....and wait....and wait....  and i know it is a silly thing to be worried about, but since the house is on the market i have taken my dogs over to the parents  house, and i miss bear.  i want to take him back to the house, but i don't want to clean up the land-mines in the back yard for the buyers again hehehe...

oh well.
