Jordyn's Meanderings

Welcome to my journal. Right now, I am 27, married, a complete animal fanatic (with preference towards cats) and a doll lover, also a book lover as well! I am the media specialist (which is just a VERY fancy word for school librarian) in two elementary schools.

*sighs*

You know I am not even sure if anyone ACTUALLY reads this. It was easier in lj for that reason, because people actually just looked up me in their "friends" spot and read, and here they have to to another site.

My early in the morning buddy Ariella isn't online, and well its EARLY in the morning, and I'm bored. I actually have a bunch of things I need to do for work, but I don't want to do. Because that is the way the world works. Rich yesterday got Star Wars on DVD, and after we watched BOTH the special discs, he put in the end of The Return of The Jedi 'cuz the endings are always the best. Anyway, he got annoyed when at the VERY end they have the ghosts of the jedi appear; Obi, Yoda and Anakin (well...this Anakin appeared as Hayden Christianson, the character who is playing Anakin in Star Wars III, not the original Star Wars) Anyway it bothered him. I could see why. It kinda cheapen it. Now there are umpteenth versions floating around, at least 3, maybe 4. Which is a whole lot!

Tonight, I told Rich we need to go to William Sonoma, my favorite store, to return some wedding gifts. Like about 250 dollars worth. I am going to get some new interesting trinkets and toys there, but I think most people for the holidays will end up getting something there. Or getting homemade fudge or cookies. :) Except for some, like some of our friends, and my cousins. Because what would a 6 month old, a 2 and a half year old, and a four year old want with stuff from william sonoma, and they don't need all that sugar!

I talked to Ariella yesterday, she is sending me something in the mail. I love surprises. I know it isn't a My Little Pony because she told me...that she won't support my habit *sticks tongue out at her playfully* Thats alright. I've been selective with the Generation 3's that I buy anyway. I buy All THE exclusives, and the ones that I really want. The rest I'll get for the holidays, from Rich. Because HE supports my habits!!! Oh, I also found out that Rainbow Brite and The Star Stealers are coming to DVD, I can't wait!

You know...

I hate bad movies. Tonight, Rich and I saw the worst movie ever, Napolean Dynamite. It was so bad, we wanted to walk out but we felt obligated to stay because we paid to see that stupidity. Thats the thing about bad movies though, TYPICALLY people go see movies on the hopes that they will be good (you don't go because you want to see a BAD movie) so you pay the ridiculous price of movies now, which is 8.50 for me, and expect wholesome or quality enjoyment and then you end up with wanting to walk out, but you don't want to because of the money you spent. Its ridiculous. Anyway, the theatre was pretty crowded, which was completely surprising. Especially considering how BAD the movie was. Nothing could of saved it.
I digress though. Lately I've been seeing ghosts and memories of my past. Today I went on Muhlenberg's website and I just got hit with a feeling of missing it. Not even just missing my friends and wishing that they lived closer, but missing the campus, the food and the ridiculous rules or slowness to technology (like how you could register online) you still had to go to the office. Or the network that permanently broke a few of my computers, because NOTHING would run on it. Things like that. But I actually felt "college-sick" if that is a feeling-and it is really the first time in TWO years that I felt like that. Sad. And I don't even KNOW anyone that still goes to the school.
Right now, I am also remembering my Australia trip that I took when I was 17, and had to be one of the best summers of my life, well, discounting this one where I actually got married! But I remember parts so vividly, and then others just seem like a fading memory. Where I question myself if it really happened? Or was it memory falsification over the years? Did I want my memory to be complete happiness, and I just forgot all the "bad stuff". I don't know-and the thing about memories is, they are all yours. I mean you make memories with people there,a nd I made A LOT. But everyone's memory is different, or seen in a different light. Maybe what I felt towards people (or remember what I felt towards people) isn't actually true. Its just that over the years, 7 to be exact, so many things can change or even differ. Your memory isn't the same the day the event happen, and you chose to "forget" the bad and only remember the good. And that saddens me a lot.
But yet, I've been thinking like that a lot today. Perhaps it is me being sick with a cold, or some other minor delusions, but I can't help but wonder what memories that I have are ACTUALLY true and which are misconstrued. Its really bothering me. And saddens me greatly.

Awwww

Last night, our friend Jay came over with his wife, and his adorable daughter. It just made me smile to see him be a good father (since from what he said he only got to experience "bad fathers") but what was even cuter was watching Rich interact with her. That just gave me goosepimplies. lol. Rich one day (not soon though!) will be a GREAT dad. And that just makes me smile-even when I am still sick!

sick :(

I feel so sick. If it wasn't friday, I wouldn't called out of work. Plus all my lesson plans are at home too. I just hope my assistant feels well enough to help pick up some of the slack, because I really don't think I will be able to do it today. I just want to curl back into bed and go to sleep. Its not even like I went to sleep late last night, I passed out by 10 o'clock. The one thing that sucks about working with little kids, is you get EVERY sickness imaginable. Which I hate. Well tonight, I'll probably just go to sleep right when I get in and stay in bed all day tomorrow. On Sunday, we have a Housewarming party and a Christening to go to, so I am REALLY hoping that I pull through Saturday night. *yawns* and *dreams of going back to bed*

Hmmm...

I am trying this out for size, but I am not sure if I will keep this or use livejournal instead. Lately I have been getting so many errors with Livejournal-or where I post, and before it goes through it will delete it. And of course I really don't feel like rewriting an entry again...so we will see...

Right now this is a test. This is only a test.
