Good day, bad day... it's the little things

Oh, the highs and lows. Today was just one of those days where you can't figure out how you want to feel. You kinda just have to pick which mood is going to take over. Some things were related, some weren't. Well, here we go...

The good: I got my invitations today!
The bad: There are a few snafus... details later because there are still discussions to be made.

The good: I had a doctor's appointment today.
The bad: They didn't have me scheduled. But I threatened to sit in the office til they closed because there was no way I was going to come back again.
And back to good: They said since it was their mistake, they could try to fit me in and my wait was still only 30 minutes (for a five-minute appointment, but hey, focus on the positive)!

The bad: I spent all day writing cover letters.
The really really really good: I got a call back for an awesome internship! (But you can't know what it is yet... don't want to jinx myself!) Now Ray and I have to consider where we're living (again). We're trying to let the chips fall where they may and decide what to do once we have all the info.

The good: I got Ray's ring!
The bad: Ray decided to lose eight pounds since we ordered it, it's titanium and can't be resized. Hmmm.

The bad: Filling my tank today cost me 55 dollars.
The good: I was able to fill my tank! I follow gas partly by mileage because my old car's gas gage was broken and I ran out a few times (fun stories, ask if you want to hear them) and I haven't been able to track it recently because it's been a few dollars here and there.

Other bad news: I got a migraine today driving home. It's a weird experience for me. I know they're coming because I lose vision in the left side of my left eye. Kinda freaky, but it turns a little kaleidoscope-y on the edges. But once the vision comes back, the migraine comes too.

I had another wedding nightmare last night. For those of you who don't know, for about two or three years I've been having dreams about a wedding from hell. Bad '80s dresses, people shuffling around everywhere, fires, hurricanes, you name it. The thing is, the closer we've gotten to the wedding, the more real the details become. Last night's was the most real one ever--it was at Great Oaks, I was in my dress, all the vendors I mentioned were the ones we've booked--but none of them showed up. I walked down the aisle with no flowers, the people were sitting on the ground, we ate hotdogs from the corner gas station and had rocks on the table because the staffs quit. Not too bad for normal people, but for a control freak like me who has this vision for the day, I had a small problem with the dream. But I'm dealing.

Other good news (keep in mind that it's the little things in life that make me happy): I'm fascinated with this new nail polish I bought. Usually I'm not too girly, but I'm trying to keep my nails in okay condition so wedding pics of my hands don't look like a man's. My nails are pretty weak and brittle, so I have to keep sonmthing on them. I'm pretty rough on may hands, so polish typically lasts, oh, a day. But this new stuff, Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps, has lasted since last Friday without chipping! A miracle...

Spiff is back on the radio! Growing up, we always listened to Randy and Spiff in the mornings on Fox 97 Oldies. I was sooo disappointed when the station went under. Then Atlanta got a new oldies station that I listen to constantly and this afternoon, Spiff was on! It's like having a cool uncle around again.

I found a florist! So much easier this time around.

And since this this post is too long, I'm going to go. Do something. Anything.
