Only 6 more hours to work until the weekend!
I'm leaving at noon today to go to Cincinnati with my dad. To see the Braves. The crappy Braves. But whatever, it's better than being at work. And tomorrow, I'm not coming in until 12:30, so I can sleep late (since we won't get back until late). My boss is probably mad about it, but oh well. They're my vacation days.
I'm actually pretty bored at work right now. I've done pretty much all I had to do. That happens a lot...I need to be a slower worker I guess.

Boring
So I have been researching the Mormon religion lately...not sure exactly why. I think it's actually pretty interesting, especially since our denomination (Baptist) seems to think of it as less of a religion and more of a cult. That's coming from the Southern Baptist Convention anyway...and I tend to not always agree with their ideology. I love my church and how contemporary it is, but sometimes it's pretty conservative also. I never knew anyone who was Mormon until I met Nick. He has some Mormon friends, so in the course of our relationship I've gotten to know them a little. And honestly, they are the most "religious" people I know. The guys go on their 2 year missions, which puts them behind in college (and seems kind of crazy to the rest of us...but from what they say, it's a really cool experience). And the ones I know are very involved with church, really live out their principles (what they eat, their actions, etc). I know that being a Christian is not all about actions, but based on faith, but I have a hard time categorizing these people as "pagans." But when Nick went to Discovering Hope, apparently the guy teaching it made some remark about how us Baptists don't even recognize the Church of Latter Day Saints. They believe in Jesus, teach the Bible, and preach that Jesus is the only way to God...and isn't that supposed to be the central tenet to our faith?
So that is why I'm trying to do some research. Nick thinks the only difference is that Mormons believe that Jesus talked to the Indians (over 3 years ago he heard that and he's still amazed by it). But there's so much crap on the internet that I really have no idea what is true and what is not. I think if I were in school and had a project, I would like to interview some Mormons.
Also, on a side note, I am beginning to realize why people say the first year of marriage is the hardest. Nick and I were raised very differently, and we have different expectations. Also, our communication styles are often the cause of conflict and not peaceful discourse. Why I'm using big words, I don't know. But I'm looking forward to being 50 and having been married for 25 years and having kids and finally knowing that we have figured out the marriage thing and each other. I look at couples who have been together for a long time, and they seem so happy. Not to say they don't have issues, but they know each other well enough to know the best way to deal with them. The couple that leads our ABF is a good example. They apparently haven't had an argument in years. Not b/c they agree on everything, but b/c they've worked out a communication style that works for them. So I'm looking forward to that. And also having kids. If having a dog has bonded us as much as it has, I can't wait to have kids with him.

Hmmm
I actually posted something yesterday, so I'm not at all sure where that went. It was already signed in, so it's possible that I just posted on someone else's blog. Sorry:-)
Today is my last day of somewhat freedom at work. Although I think most of tomorrow will be ok too. And then Thursday I'm taking the afternoon off to go to the Braves game in Cincinnati. Hopefully it will be like last night (14-4).
So at the end of this week, Nick and I are going to start trying the Dave Ramsey envelope system and completely living on a budget. My type of budgeting has mostly been to record what I spend after I spend it (which sounds bad, but I'm actually pretty organized and color-coded about it). But now we actually have a monthly plan for our money, broken down into weekly allocation plans as well. Sounds pretty boring. But we get to include money in there to Blow on each of us, and also some for eating out and movies or whatever. And with the plan, I will have my student loans paid off in 3 years! That's a lot of money to pay off in 3 years. So hopefully we'll be able to stick with it.
Anyway, I have a feeling that I'm going to be very bored at work today. So it's a good thing I brought my magazines:-)

How come I didn't do that?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDHjGrbXiD4
Probably because I can't sing so much....but still. I didn't really get the whole YouTube phenomenon, but this weekend Nick and I watched some videos on it. We got to see our hotels in Maui, and some funny videos of shih-tzus swimming. Which is probably funnier to me than anyone reading this, b/c we've often thought about what Izzy would do if we put her in the pool. And this is one of my favorites, even if it does make me sad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ltD21rYWVw
Anyway, my weekend was pretty uneventful. Friday was our date night. I came out of work Friday afternoon and Nick had typed up a note and snuck it in my car, so that was sweet. He's getting better at that kind of stuff. Although I think I need to work a little harder at it.
Anyway, hopefully work will be ok this week. I'm going to Cincinnati on Thursday to see the Braves!

Finally Friday
Is it just me or is that the title to my posts every Friday? Oh well, I love my weekends. Especially ones like this weekend, when I have NOTHING planned! Yay:-) I might actually get to sleep in tomorrow, although probably not, because my headaches while lying down have returned. And no amount of Excedrin will help (b/c I'm definitely eating it like candy at this point). But anyway, it's ok b/c even a headache is better when I'm not at work.
One of Nick's friends just had a baby, and he's this huge Western fan, so I'm kind of excited about getting a baby present for them. I'm going to go to the bookstore and buy something WKU-y, and have it monogrammed at that new place in the mall. I would totally be a cool aunt (although I think it's probably different when it's your kid, which is why I hesitate to say I'd be a cool mom), although I'm hoping I don't become an aunt until I'm pushing 40 at least.
P.S. - Chuck James positively sucks.
