Why didn't it rain today? I was so ready to have it rain so I could go home early from work and not have to go play softball tonight, which happens to be at 9:15 PM. That is pretty stinking late and I am pretty stinking tired. I was ready for a night off of relaxing and vegging. Nope, it didn't happen that way. I had to stay at work and have to leave in about an hour to go play softball. I actually really enjoy playing softball, it is just the fact of playing that late, which means I won't be home until after 10:30 PM or so. Oh well, such is life. Things rarely go the way you plan them to. I guess the fact that I really understand that is why I don't get worried when things don't go to plan. Life happens. There are so many factors that cannot be controlled. Raina is very much a planner and likes to have everything planned out and under her control. I can be the exact opposite in many ways. Forget planning, just live life on the fly. I guess that is why we are good for each other. She helps me to do some planning, while I can help her to ease up about things not going according to the "plan". I guess I kind of use that as an excuse for me never planning anything. That has to be one of Raina's biggest pet peeves about me. That I never plan anything. Maybe it is because I am used to Raina doing the planning and me just going along with it. I have been doing it for so long that I don't worry about the planning. That can really get me into trouble when it comes time for her birthday or Valentines day or something. I often forget to make plans for those things, or just procrastinate.
Procrastinating has to be one of the other big pet peeves Raina has about me. I seem to procrastinate everything. I have been really working on not doing that so much. Things would go a lot smoother if I would quit the procrastinating and do things right away. I have always been this way though. Even back in high school. I always waited to do my reports, papers and projects on the night before they were due. I can't count how many times I have stayed up super late to finish some major project for school. It worked out in high school, but not always in life. I find that I end up procrastinating so long, that I just forget all together. That is the next big pet peeve of Raina's.
Forgetfulness. I have a terrible, yet oddly good memory. I forget important things that I am supposed to do. I remember all kinds of worthless information along with faces. I remember faces of people really well. It happens to me all the time where I will recognize someone, but can't for the life of me remember their name. It happens all the time where I will remember someone from my past and I end up talking to them, and they can barely remember me. It is weird how that works sometimes. Remembering important tasks and jobs that I am supposed to do on the other hand, I can be very forgetful of. I can't tell you how many times Raina has asked me to do something and I forget. She can really get upset at me for those kinds of things. I can't blame her. I always say I will do them, and then she comes home to find them still incomplete. On the surface, it makes me look like a liar. I don't want to be a liar. Thankfully, Raina loves me even with all my faults. These few examples just scratch the surface of my faults.
