Same old, same old...

Hello again! I apologize for neglecting at least posting ONCE during the summer; and you would have thought I had all the time in the world due to my schedule but Netflix was higher on the priority list. #sorrynotsorry
I don't really have a topic of choice today but I guess I'll just do the same old updates I always do because I am just *that* exciting where I don't have much else to blog about.

Work!

I have started my new schedule at State Farm, which is M/W/F 3:30am-9:30am, Sat 7am-1pm. Frankly, it's harder to go to bed at 8-8:30 than it is to wake up at 2:15. I am less groggy driving in to work than I was driving at 4:30. It was scary driving with my old schedule because I had to do everything in my power NOT to fall asleep! I would blast cold air in my face, sing along to the radio, but it was a constant and frightening battle. Here I am though, leaving for work around 2:40am and I am wide awake. Then again, I generally go in and out of being half asleep during majority of my shift (nobody calls about insurance at 5am) so I guess that counteracts that. At the same time, I would way rather be half out of it at my desk than going 70 mph down a very empty freeway where no one would find me till someone happened to get on the freeway like 3 hours later if I happened to crash. Yikes.

School!

School has officially started back up this week. It's been an adjustment since I am used to just bumming it all day after work. It's a good adjustment though; I was quite bored and ready to pull my hair out all summer from running out of things to do (because heaven knows we had/have no money to go on any type of vacation). I think it's going to be a good semester, and I really only have 1 demanding class which happens to be music theory. The only thing "demanding" about it is that I will consistently have homework to do and the rest of my classes don't. Even my psychology class doesn't require much. Therefore, I will have time to actually get in all of my required practice time for voice lessons and still give my cub scouts my 100%. Unfortunately though, that will have to be my limit. I can't do Resonance this semester *wahh* and will have to miss my favorite season of music--Christmas! It'll be okay. It's better to hang tight until I can actually put in the required time and effort.

BABIES.

Now don't get your panties in a bunch I am not preggers. BUT there have been soooooo maaannnnyyyy baaaaabbbiieeeess. They are everywhere. There is no escape.

But really. It's become a thing and it's kind of intense. My sister in law Allora delivered her first back in the beginning of June, which just happens to be one of the most beautiful babies I have ever laid eyes on.

PROOF:

It's a bit ridiculous. And then I have two dear friends who are in their 3rd trimester of their first pregnancies, one of whom could go into labor any time. AND THEN ANOTHER FRIEND WHO LITERALLY SPAWNED OFFSPRING LIKE 2 DAYS AGO. 

I can't handle it. 

I CAN FEEL IT COMING. 

That baby smell, ladies and gentlemen, 

is perhaps one of the most wonderful scents 

mother nature has ever created. 

So of course I get my fill of baby snuggles and I feel better about myself and come to my senses about producing any offspring in the near future. The idea of me birthing anything anytime soon is ridiculous. Not yet anyway.

Other than that, my life consists of day dreaming over beautiful dresses that I could never possibly wear and deciding what dress to order for that freakin Marine Corps Ball in about 2 months. 

I'll let you all get back to your wonderful and much more exciting lives. But be prepared! First anniversary blog post coming next week so hang tight!

Goodnight, lovelies.
