Weekend stuff

Well, after last weekend's busy schedule, I hope we have a laid back time this weekend.  Aaron is currently at the Mazda dealership looking at a Mazda3 5-door.  He has it narrowed down to two of them, each with some good features.  He called me to see what I thought.  I just want to be able to afford it, so I told him I would prefer the less expensive one (it's still a million times better than his current car, anyway), but I don't know what the more expensive one has that is so much greater, besides a moon roof, and who cares about that?

I think he wants to take it out for a long drive up North to get some low speed miles on it, and maybe just spend the night somewhere up there, and come back tomorrow.  That was his plan earlier in the week, when he was thinking he was going to pick up the car on Thursday or Friday.  However, work has been really busy for him, so he hadn't had the chance to do that until today.

This last week at work has been kind of confusing.  For the last month, I have had someone checking over my claims before any payments are made, checking over my letters before they are sent out in the mail, etc, etc.  Well, that person was gone this week on vacation.  She normally works on Long Term disability stuff, and I think I'm really the only Short Term disability stuff that she looks over.  There are subtle differences in each, and I haven't really had the time or experience to know what they are.  So when she says to do something a certain way, that's how I do it.

Now someone from Short Term disability is checking over my claims, and she has other ways of doing things.  I think she's been in Short Term the longest out of anyone in our area, and she definitely has her certain way of doing things.  But it almost feels as though I am getting opposing views on how to do things, and the beginning of this week was quite frustrating.  I worked through most of it, and it's not that either way is "right" or "wrong", it's just different.

Now that it is spring, I am feeling the need for a new wardrobe.  All of my work clothes are actually all of my student teaching clothes.  I did student teaching in the fall/winter, so they are mostly long-sleeved.  Then when I started working at Von Maur and needed to dress nicely again, it was fall/winter.  I just want some new shirts and stuff, I guess, and some shoes and pants.  Everything, mostly.  Mostly because what I have is 2 years old and probably doesn't fit me the greatest any more.  Oh well. 

Anyway, that's it for me right now.  I'll try to post some pictures of the new car if it ever shows up.  Adios!
