One of these days...

I titled this blog, "One of these days..." because it seems like I'm constantly starting or learning some new thing and then I make all of these plans which inevitably end up on the backburner or put on the top shelf in that corner cabinet that nobody every goes into.... but I digress... it's called "One of these days..." because I feel like I'm consistently saying, "One of these days I'm going to (fill-in-the-blank)."

Anyways.  I'll use this blog to keep track of various in-progress projects and whatever it is that floats my boat (that day at least) that I'm attempting to accomplish.  I'll provide links to crochet patterns used (if necessary) and hopefully post some pictures of completed projects or something similiar. 

For example, one of these days, I'm going to finish writing this novel that I started in, oh, I think it was 2009?  I took about a year hiatus from it because it seemed like I was always in this awful or depressed mood when I had time enough to write in it, and I definitely didn't want to be in that state of mind because I don't want my main character to go on a killing spree or something like that.  Her name is Anne.  I'm going to try to refrain from posting any actual knowledge or ideas I've come up with regarding this book, purely for selfish reasons.  I've had a few close friends read what I've got and they think it's good, but the little nagging paranoid voice in the back of my mind is constantly yelling, "WHAT IF THEY ARE JUST BEING NICE?!"  I'm sure all of you potential and/or published writers can attest to that very same voice in your mind, albeit yours might not be as loud or obnoxious as mine.  I've been debating on naming it, but I can't decide if it's an Alberta or a Bertha.  I kinda like them both... and here I am, digressing again...

Another "one of these days" of mine is one of these days, I'm going to go back to school and get another degree.  I have one (that I'm currently paying the student loans off on), but the thing is, I don't want to do anything with it.  Bachelor's of Science in Poultry Science... Yep... Chickens and turkeys and such.  Sure, the little day old hatchlings are adorable, but once you've spent two years roaming around a broiler chicken house with all of the litter dust and feathers and fending off aggressive chickens, you're pretty much scarred for life.  I wouldn't eat chicken for awhile.... but now that I think about it, nowadays I would rather eat chicken than let's say, pork chops.  I graduated back in 2010.  If I ever go back, which I do really want to do, I'll do an on-line program to get my Associate's in Applied Science in Veterinary Technology so I can take the stupid test so I can become licensed.  But, that's a whole 'nother blog.

(But for those of you interested in the abridged version, read on!)

I've been working as a veterinary technician for going on five years now, and I can't take the test to become licensed until I get the degree.  Which I think is completely bogus.  I mean, I already have one degree in the health sciences field, so why can't I just take the test?!  They used to have the rule that if you have five years of experience, that would work as a substitute, which is what I decided I was going to bank on, but alas, about a year or two ago, they took that little fall-back away.... turds...

Anyways.  One of these days, I'm going to get married!  Ooh, did I mention that?  Yep.  This girl right here has been engaged all of 69 days, and I already have the majority of the wedding planned.  No, it's not because I've been dreaming of my wedding since I was a little kid (I was a tomboy!), it's just because I'm a compulsive planner.  I plan everything.  Or...I make plans to make a plan to do something... and sometimes that thing is not always accomplished.  (Hey, I'm not a robot!)

Well, I think I'll call it a night.  I've listed a couple of things on my list of "One of these days.."  Stay tuned for potentially more!  One of these days, I might be back for more blogging!

(And by "might", I mean I totally will, I was just trying to be clever, but it's kinda late and I've had a long day and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders so please forgive.)
