Bad week: realized that I need to find my cat Petey a new home, problems with the tribute and trying to figure out if I can afford to sell it back, need a job but really don't have the time for one with finals only 2 weeks away, broke, depressed unemployed fiancé (upside he's been busy working on ads for his contract job so his mood has improved), rotten brat autistic brother who really seems to hate me, oh and planning a wedding.  Not to mention while trying to play games with some friends, my blasted head wouldn't let me play as much as I would have liked to have, and then a friend commented about how I should be placed on oxygen thinking it was my asthma.  No it's due to swelling at the back of my head that just likes to do that whenever I'm trying to have some fun.  I just use my inhaler before playing any kind of sport nowadays.

Bad week and Saturday isn't starting off well either. While trying to get my sunglasses out of Clint's car which is crammed into the garage with barely any room to open the freakin doors, I knock over one of the multiple things, a railroad crossing sign, into the side of his car. Sorry just doesn't seem to cut it for my clumsy mistakes anymore and at time I honestly wonder where I'm valued at amongst his toys. Maybe this motorcycle ride will cheer us both up.

Cowboys and Aliens was a good movie, I thought it has to be good if it has Harrison Ford and Craig Daniel in it not to mention Olivia Wood.  I rented it through red box, and forced Clint and his roommate to watch it with me on Friday night.  They both enjoyed it too.

To continue where I left off.....

Yes the motorcycle ride did improve our moods immensely.  I was down and blue because I was apparently too hyper and was driving Clint nuts.  Then I scratched the car and well......  Anyhow that's in the past.  I know he values me more than his toys, it is just times like that cause him to become very angry with me for my 'careless clumsiness.'  He likes to describe me when I'm not on the ADHD meds like a hyperactive lab puppy.  Can't say that I blame him, but at times I feel like I can't express myself when I'm in a good mood.

Anyhow Clint and I borrowed his stepdad's Star Stratoliner, and Mitch and Jenna borrowed one of Mitch's coworkers Honda cruiser.  Our ride took us down the pig trail, and we about turned around because some of the roads were wet and we were afraid of being rained on.  We decided to chance it, and continued on.  Glad we did too because it turned out to be a beautiful day, a beautiful WINDY day that is.  Yes we were pretty beat up by the wind by the end of the day.  I don't know for sure where all we went, but we made it to the usual place where we go put in at for the Mulberry River.  Stopped there to get something to drink, and I had a wonderful vanilla creme soda.  YUM.  Then we backtracked a little and went to the Byrd's campsite place next to another part of the Mulberry.  There we got out and explored, finishing off our drinks, throwing rocks and playing in the river.  Checked out the zipline they were updating - still want to do a full series of zip-lining through the tree-tops.  That would just be WUNDERBAR!!

My allergies decided to act up most of the motorcycle trip, just to spite me it seemed.  Clint and I went out to dinner, the first time we went out by ourselves for dinner in forever.  Allergies were still killing me, so I literally crashed by 9:15 when we got back. Woke up to try and get ready for church, but it just wasn't happening today.  Allergies were still bothering me, my eyes and throat are raw and sore.  Not as bad as last night but add a allergy sinus/bad weather pressure headache, I would have been wanting to just take up a whole row to lay down on.

Well must go: German paper due tomorrow, German Oral on Tuesday, World Civ Quiz/German Test on Wednesday, then French Oral on Friday.  Add in regular class work/homework, trying to converse in 3 languages, another test for French possible in this upcoming week, then FINALs - I should be good right?

One thing that makes me smile:  Art Nouveau is what I am going to use as a 'theme' for the wedding.  Not quite a theme, just something to based the decorations around so the options won't be as broad.  Hooray!!
Now I am off and away to conquer the world.

This is my prayer:  Lord let Your will be done, and that what I'm striving for is good and according to Your will.  Let me shine, give me strength, patience, and control of my words.  I'm sad to have missed so much today in praising and worshipping You.  I thrill in singing and praising Your name and Your glory.  I feel the most whole when I am singing for You.  I'm so incredibly thankful for everything You have done for me and given me.  Blessed to be able to call You Father.  I'm terrible at praying, and when I do pray I criticize my words too much. Allow me to not fear myself and my words.  Please give Clint strength and guidance as he struggles with being unemployed, and give him hope and encourage him as I try my hardest while he searches for a new job.  Watch over my family and friends throughout their struggles whatever they may be.  Help with finances would be nice seeing as how I'm broke, please light my path to which direction I should go.  I pray I'm finally following the right path, with my education and mostly with my life.  I'm slow at accomplishing tasks, but I'm stubborn enough to keep on going despite all that hinders me.  I love you Lord.  I know I don't say that enough, and I always find myself saying it more when tough times hit.  Allow me to give You the reins of my life, let me give You the control that I try to desperately to hold onto.  Keep my family and friends save, and please I raise Clint up to you.  He needs help and direction terribly.  Please guide him, please help him reach happiness again.
