A quiz by 5's

Closing on a house? TERRIFYING. And especially annoying, seeing as I was hoping to close last Friday. And now it's this Friday.
So Saturday, when all these lovely people from our church are planning to come help us move, I will have had only Friday evening to clean the whole 4 levels and try and get rid of at least most for the dog-cat-childnesss, all of which will attack Jared's allergies. And Monday, when all the lovely girls from church come to help me paint the house, I will be living in craziness all weekend - my bed in the tore up house, and a dirty apartment to lean and skip outta...
my GOSH. I am outta my MIND.
But enough of my complainings - I have a tag from Clarity!! She's fantabulous, by the way - one of my favorite reads:) So here I go!!
Ten years ago: I was going ino my junior year of high school - I couldn't drive yet (being 15 and all) and I was busy playing lots and lots of violin and singing my brians out. I was recovering from a nervous breakdown and was beginning to have a real relationship with my parents as they were starting to understand where my breaking point was. I was about to come into my own - about to start a great year of relaxation and personal success, but for the most part all I understood was that I was supposed to play the violin, and all I wanted to do was sing and dream of being a rock star.
Five years ago: I was traveling the countryside with my parents and Dallin on break between my sophmore and junior years of college. I had just broken up with my first boyfriend - a nice boy who served 6 months of his mission and had decided it was too hard. He had given up on everything else in his life and I knew I couldn't trust him to not give up on me too - it was the first real heartbreak I ever experienced. I was trying to heal and my parents decided we needed a road trip and went all over the east coast, visiting family and seeing the sights. Summer was healing, but as I tried the next school year, I fell into the worst relationship I ever had the next year, which resulted in my eating distorder. Good times!
One year ago: Ha! I juuust moved to Atlanta, was just starting to be a high school orchestra teacher, and was just falling in love with Jared. A very good year:)
Yesterday: I ran all over town learning how to paint a house. And signing motgage stuff. In the process of coming back from that, Jared mentioned to me casually "oh, a package is gonna be coming from such and such organization to me but with your maiden name, so um, just send it back."
"Huh?" saith I. "A package of what?"
"Oh, 4 lightbulbs for 38 bucks."
"What?? Why would you order that?"
"Some handicapped organization called when you were gone on Saturday and roped me into it. Just send 'em back"
Now, I'm staring to think this is crazy talk - NOone talks Jared into anything, especially something that involves his money so I probed further..."why did you talk to them, honey?"
"You were gone, I was bored."
"Well, why didn't you just hang up on them then??"
"You can't hang up on handicapped people!!!!"
Now here, I start laughing so hard I bashed my head on the window behind me. Several times. While he's shouting "And after I agreed to buy 'em, he had to transfer me to someone to take down my information - I don't think he had arms!!"
I don't know if that's as funny to anyone else as it was to me, but I laughed so hard I almost hurt myself. Ohh, and then later in the day I got home to find a warm bath all ready for me - AWESOME Jared - and then got to IM with Urmi, it was like Christmas!!
Today: I continued to try to learn about paint. I packed some stuff. Went shopping for maccaroni and milk and almost DIED in this ATL heat. Wow it's hot here!!
Tomorrow: I'll pack and teach violin. MAN I seem boring all of the sudden.
