Neil and I were thinking about moving to either St. Louis or Chicago when he graduates, which is May 2010, and living for several years or so before we’re ready to settle down and start a family. Key word: were.

I must have left out the part where we would start a family AFTER we moved back from wherever we moved to because when I mentioned it again Neil was completely against moving. Between having a baby and moving Neil wants to have a baby. Like now. Is that weird for the man to want a baby before the woman? Don’t get me wrong- there’s nothing I want more right now than to find out I’m preggers. I just don’t want to have a baby without being close to my mom our family my mom. It’s not that I don’t think I can do it without her, it’s more that I don’t want to have to do it without her. And I know she will want to help.

Since it looks like we’ve made the decision not to move (in the recent future anyway) Neil would like to start trying sometime at the end of the summer. That way our baby will be born at the beginning of the following summer and he will have just graduated. Sounds perfect right? Well, going back to wanting to be close to our family when we have a baby, I think we should wait until we KNOW we’re going to be close to home. It’s not going to be easy for Neil to find a job because schools only need at most two P.E teachers so what if we have to move away because of his job? I’m okay with that but only if I’m not preggers. Makes sense not to start trying for a baby until Neil gets a job offer, right? But that’s over a year away. It’s things like this that make me wish Neil had a different major.

Sometimes I feel like PostSecret is the only one/thing that really knows me. Other people’s secrets really speak to me and I would like to think of something original to send in but in the mean time…

This is what I did today and it ended up being an EPIC FAIL:

- Missed my first class in order to sleep in/study for my nursing aid certification exam (CNA exam for now on)
- Missed my second class so I could drive an hour to my hometown to take the damn CNA exam
- Missed my third class to wait in the lobby of the exam place so I could take the damn CNA exam
- Get in the exam room and have the proctor tell me I can’t take the damn CNA exam because I don’t have my Social Security card with me.
- Get frustrated because I wasn’t told that I needed my SS card and can’t get my SS card because it’s at my house- AN HOUR AWAY!
- Sign up for the next exam day- two weeks from now- and leave the exam place…pissed.

I ended up going to the hospital to visit my mom. No she’s not IN the hospital, she WORKS there. She’s a dietitian. Anyway, she asked me how the exam went. I lied. I told her it went fine. I was just too MAD to admit that I missed all three of my classes today for an exam I didn’t even get to take. Sort of mad at myself because I usually keep my SS card in my wallet but also mad at my instructor because apparently she reminded the other guy I was with whom also was there to take the exam and didn’t bother to remind me. And of course, I just removed my SS card from my wallet less than a month or so ago because I thought Hey, If My Wallet Gets Stolen At Least I Won’t Have To Get All New Everything. Smart, Rach. Real smart.

After seeing my mom I went to the mall. But only after I stopped by DQ because I needed a pick me up. And nothing picks me up better than an M&M blizzard with no chocolate sauce added please. I was told by my mom’s co-worker that Dillard’s lost some kind of law suit and was giving away make up and the like. Well, she didn’t really word it that way but I don’t feel like it because talking/writing about my not getting to take the exam has kind of gotten me heated again. Breathe. So I went to Dillard’s- I was going to go to the mall even if I had take the exam- and stood in a line to get free make up. The gave me Vera Wang’s Princess body wash. Which is good and pretty smelling but I wanted make up. Whatever.

I didn’t buy anything at the mall and instead decided to go buy myself a new wedding band. Yes, a new one. Aside: Neil proposed to me with my first engagement ring. Before the wedding we traded it in for the one I originally wanted. Shortly after the proposal we bought my wedding band. With the new engagement the first wedding band didn’t match. SO we traded wedding band number one in for wedding band number two. For our first anniversary Neil bought me a wrap for my engagement ring. So now I have two wedding bands. Well about two weeks ago I noticed wedding band number one was missing. It still hasn’t shown up and I can’t wear my wrap to work because it needs the engagement ring in there to look right. And I can’t wear my engagement ring to work because I wear gloves and this is getting too long to be an “aside”. Anyway, I usually wore wedding band number one to work because it’s just a normal diamond band and doesn’t get in the way. Now at work it appears that I’m single. And I’m NOT. I found a really simple one that looks PERFECT with my engagement ring and looks good without it as well. And get this- it was only $56!!!! Because it’s just a 10 carat white gold band that’s the same width as my Tiffany setting engagement ring. Who know, you thin band? I will post pics soon.

After buying the wedding band number three (I guess number one since it’s replacing number one?) I went to the scrub store next door and bought 100$ worth of scrubs that I desperately needed. Like, it’s been 4 or 5 years since I’ve bought scrubs. Yeah. I’m lucky I still fit into the one’s I’ve been wearing. So I will post pics of the LOVELY new scrubs soon also.

Now I leave you with this because it is freakin’ hilarious!

You must watch this. This guy is amazingly funny and I’m addicted now.
