Joining the 21st Century...

I feel like I keep waiting for something amazing and life-changing to happen to me so that I'll have something excited to blog about.

Shockingly, that hasn't happened yet.

But I would really like to continue blogging…and more than once every 4 months.

Hold that thought, just remembered I have laundry in the dryer. brb….

Sorry about that. If I leave it too long in the laundry room, my fear is walking in only to find my nice clean clothes in a pile on the gross floor of our laundry room, which also doubles as the hallway between apartment buildings, as well as dumping grounds for random trash that our neighbors feel belong in the corners of the laundry room. 

Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah, my re-entry into the blogging world.

Life has been…alright. Just returned to Ohio from my Christmas vacation in NJ, and Ohio has welcomed me with open arms…and temperatures below 0. Its great to be back. We had snow days this week, forcing me into a life of office work, and 3 days of that just about killed me this week. 

But alas, I survived. What else does the month of January have in store for me? I'll be talking to kids about sex, talking to some other kids about sex, and then I'll be guest speaking at a church talking to their teens about…anyone? Anyone? Yup, sex. 

I have the weirdest job. 

I'm still flabbergasted that this is where God has lead me. What else could He have in store?

In other semi-exciting, non-spiritual news, I've officially joined the 21st century. I, Allie McGillick, now have a smart phone. I had to change numbers to get a good deal on one, and the first day I had it, I wanted to chuck it across the room because I couldn't seem to do anything correctly on it, but now that I've had it for a few days, I'm starting to see the light. How did I ever live without one? 

First order of business was to make sure I ordered the perfect case. Not only did I want to be able to protect my new baby investment, I wanted to do it in glamorous, geek-culture style. So in 7-10 business days, I will be sporting this bad boy around…

No judgements please. Unless you think I'm cooler. Then judge away, my friends.

And if you would like an affordable smart phone of your own, check out Republic Wireless. Their plans are amazingly inexpensive. The number change was worth the nearly $600 I'll be saving in the next 2 years. Cha-ching.

What else? Did I mention it was cold? Moving on…

I signed up for health insurance last month, but am still waiting on the info to be mailed to me. Hopefully that happens soon, I want to take that little, magical health care card for a spin. Maybe not to the extreme they do here…

April and Andy and their insurance...

I think that's it for now. Gotta go get my laundry out of the dryer. Had to put it in for a 2nd round; the other dryers were being used and I was stuck with the broken one that takes at least 2 cycles to properly dry stuff. 

My positive little story for today is that I was blessed to be able to purchase almonds. And not just any almonds, but cocoa roasted almonds. It's all I can do to not run in the kitchen now and consume all of them. But I'm gonna make that bag last as long as I can…or at least the next couple of days.
