My Tim Gunn day calendar inspired me a few days ago when he said i should spend the weekend (and days thereafter) working on my posture. When I did my ol acting conservatory we worked on our posture a lot. im trying to remember everything i learned.
so yesterday and today ive been working on my posture. its not as easy as it seems. and it kinda hurts my middle back? so i dont think im doing it right.
i figured it wouldnt hurt, and i heard if you stand correctly it makes you look thinner, so hey.
its also helps me to stay focused on how im standing, walking, or sitting instead of thinking about myself or other people in not nice ways.
i didnt feel good today. ive been sleeping a lot because i dont feel good. the winds make my allergies act up. and im a girl so sometimes i feel gross. like now.
tomorrow im working and doing lots of homework, bleh. BUT then im going to drug myself up and go play with Melissa and Lauren and a new friend named Erin at Jaymas house! we're obviously going to watch anne of green gables, eat sweets, and craft all night! girls are SO FUN!

i love the gym?
soooooo last night i went to sign up for my free gym membership (thank you health insurance) at the lovely new 24 hour fitness they just finished building kinda close to mi casa.
WELL, the boy who helped me was SO cute and SO flirty, i had the best time! but then "the printer wasnt working" so i had to come back later for my pass, which was fine since i was tapping yoga at 730 anyway. so i came back. "still broken". but me and annie kicked yoga is the butt! it was so great! oh how i missed yoga. id slept weird on my shoulder so it was kinda sore all day, after yoga and stretching it a bit more its been fine ever since:) i love yoga! so me and annie have a date for every monday at the PACKED yoga class.
so i came back this morning to work out and get my pass. so he printed it for me ok, and we flirted some more, and i flirted with the other guys working there who are all real pretty and friendly. i know its their job to be pretty and friendly, but it was fun all the same.
anyway, i did some cardio for 35minutes and did really well and everything, but when i got off i seriously almost fell over Bridget Jones style and i had issues remembering how to walk to my car...it was really funny. then i didnt have time to stretch or do weights so i just peaced out but everyone kept staring at me and it was either because im sooooo beautiful or because i was extremely red faced and sweaty. now, i dont know if i was red faced, but i assume so. either way, i love the gym! all the boys are pretty and like to watch you exercise and walk around. it kinda feels like a meat market, but i just ignore everyone and enjoy my break from life.
oh and PS: i enjoyed my work out too, it was weird for me. i used to HATE exercising, but it was suprisingly fun and relaxing and my body felt so happy the entire time and afterwards! so lets see, cute boys+break from life+get to read and listen to music+feel really good+lose weight=i love the gym?! did anyone ever think i would utter those words? i certainly didnt.
in other news, i dont think i give myself enough credit. i totally made it through the yoga class and cardio today without dying or falling over or anything, i really had no problem with either. even though i havent officially "exercised" in awhile, i do walk my dogs, and can bust carmen electra strip tease, and can walk for miles a day for weeks in Europe without issue (besides the blisters).
ALSO (this has been a big also), im cute. boys look at me. i dress well. im not this awful huge creature ive made myself out to be. im so busy feeling bad about myself i dont look around and compare myelf to the reality of people around me. of course not all people arent cute, but when i really look around, i see that most people are average. its all gonna be ok. so all in all:
im kinda awesome.
but dont worry, next week ill be back to telling myself im ugly and fat and suck at life.
its sadly only a matter of time.
well little blog, that was quite deep and revealing for today. every once in awhile it does happen. well thats enough then.
i promise this is my last picture of myself from Paris, haha. i just thought it was fitting. and kinda awesome at the same time. i pretty much RULE at photography;)

Some New Favorite Things
Some New Favorite Things:
1) soooo my new favorite thing in the world is the Carmen Electra Aerobic Strip Tease workout DVD. i know it sounds absolutely absurd and "where is Esther and what have you done with her?!" but seriously, its SO fun. i bought it on a whim the other day when we were at Circuit City because it was on sale and I'd always wanted to try it and heard it was pretty fun. oh man, im so glad I did. it totally got me into working out, i have so much fun. today i even dressed up sexy and put on some heels to do the routine, then i turned off the DVD and put my own music on (The Faint, if you must know) and it was seriously the BEST!
some boy is going to be extremely lucky someday.
2) ive decided to stop buying food and just save my money for music. for 2 reasons.
4) long hair. as much as we fight, i just love her. i can do so much with her and we have lots of fun with all my new bows and headbands, shes the best. ive had to get used to a lot of things though, such as remembering to move it to the side when you put your purse on your shoulder or even just to hoist it up a bit, otherwise its death. sleeping with long hair can also be interesting, we've tried a few different things: hair on top in a loose bun, but then my head hurt and it looked weird the next day. hair in a loose side braid: but then it got knotty and still made it look weird the next day. so we've resolved to just loose but all up and over the pillow, sometimes i gather it or something...its quite the process. most recently and most horribly has been the knots taking over the entire underneath layer of my hair. i cant put any hair spray in it or the next morning its DEATH. im not exagerrating when i say i spent an hour trying to get the knots out of my hair one morning, and not even finishing. they get as big as a fist or two. but i think ive worked it out, wide tooth comb during conditioning in the shower and some bumble bumble detangler may just do the trick. yes, i just wrote an entire paragraph about my hair, but whats even sadder is that you read the entire thing. and didnt even mind.
i have some websites i could share that im also currently in love with, maybe some new music, or how much i love the weather we've been having. but i really want to go work on my "scrapbook" so instead im going to peace.
lovelove.
i miss my second home. Versailles.

2) ive decided to stop buying food and just save my money for music. for 2 reasons.
- My Music List is out of control: its so long that it makes my heart hurt to just look at it. i havent had money to buy any of the albums as they come out, so i just suffer without them. So ive decided to take $10-$20/week (which is a lot when you only make $80/week for food and gas + fun stuff) and set it aside for 2-4 vinyls at the end of each month. I believe this may help control my issues. we'll see. I bought 3 new long awaited records last night! it was really really really exciting! now just 20 more and we'll be good...
- the less food I eat out, the healthier I eat. and we all know my endless battle with my body. this takes care of that now doesnt it.
4) long hair. as much as we fight, i just love her. i can do so much with her and we have lots of fun with all my new bows and headbands, shes the best. ive had to get used to a lot of things though, such as remembering to move it to the side when you put your purse on your shoulder or even just to hoist it up a bit, otherwise its death. sleeping with long hair can also be interesting, we've tried a few different things: hair on top in a loose bun, but then my head hurt and it looked weird the next day. hair in a loose side braid: but then it got knotty and still made it look weird the next day. so we've resolved to just loose but all up and over the pillow, sometimes i gather it or something...its quite the process. most recently and most horribly has been the knots taking over the entire underneath layer of my hair. i cant put any hair spray in it or the next morning its DEATH. im not exagerrating when i say i spent an hour trying to get the knots out of my hair one morning, and not even finishing. they get as big as a fist or two. but i think ive worked it out, wide tooth comb during conditioning in the shower and some bumble bumble detangler may just do the trick. yes, i just wrote an entire paragraph about my hair, but whats even sadder is that you read the entire thing. and didnt even mind.

ok ok im back already
hopefully my "faithful" blog readers were able to correctly switch over to the other blog while i was enjoying my life in Paris. did you miss me? i know you did Kelsey, love it!
oh friends, twas wonderful. It was everything a vacation should be, and MORE. Alyssa and I had so much fun being adults on our own vacation and just doing whatever we wanted too..."im tired, wanna sleep in tomorrow and then go out?", ok. "wanna eat snacks for lunch and then splurge for dinner at a cute cafe?", ok. "wanna drink wine until the morning with fun Australians?", ok. whatever we wanted to do, we did. it was amazing!
besides that, i almost died from all the beauty that surrounded me on a regular basis. the art, architecture, fashion, and beautiful boys: i was on sensory overload.
it was like my heart painted a picture of a city just for me, and I finally got to visit it.
(SIDE NOTE: good news! a guy in our office just brought in his nephew whom they are in the process of adopting, hes 8 and in 2nd grade so OBVIOUSLY we became friends! within 2 minutes i figured out hes troubled academically, behaviorally, and has a rough road ahead, so i gave him some tips for how to kick 2nd grade in the pants! i love kids. and i love that it comes so naturally to me. its these little moments that get me through all the CRAP that awaits me at school. arg. anyway, back to Paris.)
Everyday in Paris was the best day! i just loved it so so much, its hard to choose my favorite things because every moment was so wonderful. i wont go on and on, just read the blog of what we did each day and know that everyday was AMAZING.
i had such a hard time coming home. i tried to prepare myself, but i still got grumpy and minorly depressed. it got so bad that I had to specifically pray that God would give me perspective on why im doing what im doing right now. Especially since in every incredible museum we went to, where I'd spend hours in one room, there would be a museum hired teacher taking groups of kids around and sitting them in front of a Van Gogh or Degas or whatever and talking about it in beautiful French. i couldnt even handle it! and then to come home to face a bunch of crap science courses, reading tests, lesson plan tests: basically a bunch of junk i dont even want to do. lets just say its frustrating. and to top it off, to find anything open later then 9pm, let alone 7pm, is a friggen miracle. plus, theres no public transportation. you cant walk anywhere. nothings pretty. and theirs no baguettes on every street corner. im just fussy.
ok what else, back at school. this semester is gonna be another crazy one. im trying to schedule in exercising and social events, but its hard. i forget how exhausting school becomes. i joined a small group on thursday nights with the single young adults at north coast church in vista. it was an interesting first night, everyone seemed nice but i had some noteworthy observations.
1) everyone was extremely awkward: really guys? how old are we?! just talk to each other, how hard is this? i think being a social creature whose been in TONS of strange situations and has just learned to be fun and not uncomfortable, i was frustrated.
2) im not in coastal north country anymore: what a concept, everyone was normal looking and even just wearing old jeans and hoodies! they drove old cars and lived in little apartments. it was SO weird for me. im used to going to church or even just the local stores and its like walking onto the set of the OC or Gossip Girl...but with sandals. i felt a little out of place, kinda like we grew up in different countries and spoke different languages...but im sure it will be fine. we'll see.
3) it was weird being in a church small group again: i forgot that they dont talk about drinking or sex, and are pretty conservative politically, and think homosexuality is awkward and feel the need to joke about it when they accidentally say something weird. that got old, real quick.
im trying REALLY hard not to let any of that bother me or deter me from getting involved and investing in the community there. this is just my first step so i can get further involved in the large group, im sure theres people who think like me somewhere there:) if not, then i can always peace after a few months and try somewhere else. no church will ever be perfect.
(repeat to self as necessary)
ok thats all for now. i have more we could get into, such as the breakthrough me and Jesus had yesterday, or the Aussie i kissed in Paris story, the LOST premiere, my crazy new professor whose entire class is about Mt. Everest, etc. but until next time.
lovelove.
PS: all my picture links are on the Europe blog. pretty much all of them are awesome, it was hard to keep the ones i posted down in size because like all 400 of my pictures were so lovely! and then we had Alyssas too! im tagged in Alyssas pictures on facebook, but heres a few anyway.

Wake me up before you go go
alyssaandesther.blogspot.com
I'm in Paris January 6-15 (i know right!). We'll post it up real good at the above blog, so until then here is my last post!
Things:
-I have a legit crush on the butcher at Albertson's. He's a big tall, cuddly, strawberry blonde, with a beard! How could I resist! This has been happening for the last 6+ months...at least i think hes the butcher. unfortunately since i dont eat meat ive never actually gotten to interact with him...besides locked eyes across the aisle on numerous occasions, *sigh. this should be a story, the vegetarian who has a crush on the butcher. oh my life.
-WICKED was absolutely amazing! I read the book years ago, and have known all the music forever, it was SO special to see how everything looked on stage. It was beyond my imagination, which is hard to do! The girls who played Elphaba and Galinda were just incredible. Megan Hilty as Galinda truly inspired me as an actress...i miss theatre mucho. I may have cried 2 times during the play just because it was so good and i didnt know what else to do with myself!
-me and mom went to the Norton Simon museum in Pasadena too, it was so great! They had lots of impressionist art from Degas and Van Gogh, and a special Vermeer and Rembrandt area too! It was such a special day, i was overwhelmed by the beauty in the museum and then the play...it was just a good day! so inspiring!
-Then me and mom went shopping in Pasadena, i got some cute (and cheap! yay!) hair clips and earrings, had a pannini for lunch (my favorite), and we went to a really cool antique store too! I got some old postcards from Italy from there, but we had a lot of fun trying on glasses and hats and looking at all the furniture and old books. also, inspiring!
And now its packing/last minute get stuff together for Paris day! cant believe its already here! Except its really cold and i went to bed late and i didnt have any caffiene or a vitamin or anything today so im really sleeeeepy...maybe ill just nap and pack after dinner:)
it IS 4pm...esthers nap time! (learn it. live it.)
ok, well im off to Paris. enjoy work and school! ill be back complaining about everything before you know it! See you then!

freeeezing but ready for Christmas!
the presents are all wrapped and ready to go (my last one came in the mail today, i ordered it two weeks ago but i was rather nervous when it didnt arrive right away!)
tomorrow me and mom will grocery shop real early in the morning, ill make the gingerbread house, probably nap (due to the early morning), take the dogs for a walk, and then get ready for the Christmas Eve service and party with my beloved Olivia and all our traditional Christmas Eve friends! so fun! I'm really excited to give my presents to everyone and for the day of Christmas, it's always so fun to all be together and to have time off just to be and enjoy eachother.

what i accomplished at work today, and also my green item from the survey. amazing.Its the Little Things
Heres some random things that have been on my mind lately, enjoy:
a) last week i made friends with a bee and i havent stopped thinking about him since. he landed on the front window of my car right in my eye line! we became friends immediately because id never seen a bee that close before. After we discussed how cool he was, I politely told him that i needed to drive now and that it would probably be wise for him to fly away. But he didnt! he stayed with me while i drove to the store, and then stayed while i shopped, and then drove all the way home with me! by now we were getting along fabulously, but i noticed he was flapping his wings as much, and his little feelers werent moving much either. I began to get concerned. When i parked and went home for the night, I said goodnight and told him I hoped he made it through the night. He was gone by morning.
for some reason it made me really sad. i made friends with my little bee and then he either died or flew home, im pretending it was the later. anyway, it was a fun evening making new friends.
b) i flossed my teeth last night for the first time since my dentist appointment...about 6 months ago. they always beg me to floss because apparently i have beautiful teeth but bad gums (hereditary) so i have to floss and then ill have perfect teeth! but i dont, because it always hurts a lot and smells and its absolutely disgusting and i cant handle it. so i finally broke down and bought those little floss swords (dentist said that was better than nothing) and stuck them in my side table drawer with a post it on my lamp to remind me. so they've been in there for 2 weeks and last night was my first time trying them. Good Lord is HURT. and it smelled and was disgusting of course, but i stuck through and did all my teeth. i wont bore you with the details, but lets just say blood was involved and my mouth hurting almost kept me from falling asleep. this morning it STILL hurts and specifically two of my gums are all swollen and sore. now i have two choices, i could either say, "hey! this is why you need to floss more! it wont hurt if you do it all the time!" OR "this is why you dont floss!!! it hurts like a bitch!!!" as of right now, im taking the second route. but hopefully when the swelling and soreness subsides, ill try again. my mouth still hurts, this sucks.
c) everytime i get the guts to ask the beautiful boy who sometimes work here out for lunch, hes not here! last week i even walked back to his office, but he was gone in the bathroom or something. today i came ready to do it, but he hasnt showed up yet and now that its 10a i dont think that he will. it took me AGES to work up the courage to do it, and now here we are. arg.
d) tomorrow is my girls Christmas Exchange! Im SO excited! Me and cassie and annie and jordan will be having lunch together and then all traveling up to Kelseys for an evening of fun! we'll be going out for a semi nice dinner (yay!), driving around looking at lights and probably drinking a special christmas beverage and playing our Christmas Carol singing game, and then back to Kelseys to sit by the fire and have yummy kelsey dessert and exchange our secret santa ornaments. SO FUN! seriously, you wish you had fun girl friends like us.
"Seriously, sometimes I wish I was someone else, just so I could be friends with us."
e) I've been REALLY enjoying Christmas this year! last year kinda sucked because we were supposed to go to New York as our big Christmas present and one week before the trip the rents informed us we werent going, which totally sucked! This year i have all this time because im still only working 1 day a week, ive been spending time wrapping my gifts in fun ways, making ornaments, spending time with family and friends in town, making gingerbread houses and drinking soy nog, singing christmas carols, and even baking! last night i made some low cal fudge (i think its so yummy!) and next week im going to try and make some low cal chocolate chip cookies. its so funny to me how fussy people are with their foods and beverages. i think ive gotten so used to lactose free, meat free, and low calorie foods that whatever i eat in that catagory, i usually like. i have to choose, either NO egg nog or get used to soy egg nog, and after for many years i just prefer it now. same with fake cheese, low calorie desserts, etc. i guess its a good thing...but then when i do pay for actual food, if its not good i get really pissed. what are you serving me, cat?
f) i love crafts! i made a little ornament and today im going to work on a big one. the gingerbread house and my gift wrapping is just the funnest ever! i have some other projects in the words as well, headbands, stamps, stencils, and sewing. oh i also need to make my scrapbook for Europe before i go to Paris and have a whole nother pile of tickets and pictures to scrapbook! SO EXCITED!!!
this is my life:
ready for Christmas!

VEGAS
soooo me and annie spent Saturday doing fun Christmas things. We went to lunch at sushi and then the grocery store to buy supplies to make home made gingerbread houses! we had a wonderful time listening to Christmas music, making the houses, and drinking egg nog with rum for the afternoon. then we went to my house to make crafts! we made ornaments, so fun! by then it was about 6pm and my dad asked me, "what are you girls going to do tonight" he furthered by reminding us it was a Saturday night and we were young and single...so Annie half jokingly said "we should go to Vegas!" apparently it only takes 4.5 hours to get there (longer if Annie drives) and to stay at the Excalibur which is pretty nice its only $60/night. so we booked our room right then, packed our bags, and peaced OUT!
we arrived around midnight and i got showered and all fancy shmancy and ready for a night out! by about 1am we were at "Dicks Last Resort" watching an amazing band and watching everyone already drunk and being really funny. within 30 minutes of being out we got hit on by some Canadian boys and a Finnish lad. the bar closed so we went to another bar in the casino...and then over to the Luxor...and then the Monte Carlo...and then New York New York...all with our new boyfriends in tow. needless to say, it was a lovely night.
ive never been treated so nicely by a boy, it was weird to say the least. he was just really sweet with me and kind and genuine. and i acted like a real lady and we just had a nice time together! and i looked so pretty and everyone kept looking at me and it was such a confidence boosting weekend! out of all of trailer park Vegas, we managed to find the nicest guys EVER and had such a wonderful time!
other: i played craps for the first time (won $20! but then lost it;), tried vodka redbull for the first time (love it, but i couldnt sleep for like 12 hours afterwards soooo), got snuggled by the best cuddler EVER, got to kiss a boy, felt pretty, didnt go to bed until 6am, had a BLAST!
so we all slept for 2 hours (really i didnt sleep, but i watched everyone else sleep, damn vodka redbull!) and then tried to find breakfast somewhere to make ourselves feel a little less haggard, and then it was time to go. we had such a nice time together but we didnt exchange information or anything like that, im pretty ok with it, but it would have been nice to be friends on facebook or something, owell. it was 12 hours together, we arent going to get married or anything anyway, but still, we had fun together and its weird to just say goodbye forever. owell, if ive learned anything from my travels, its how to say goodbye forever and learn to be ok with it.
so thats Vegas. so much fun. a lovely canadaian boyfriend for 12 hours. pretty. annie and i are crazy...but you SO wish you were there too.

craziest week EVER!
i cant believe i havent written in so long! sorry kelsey! things have been CRAZY all week!!! if you get bored, be sure to skip to Thursday, a CRAZY day.
-Sunday i worked alllllllll day on my take home PE final and it totally sucked, but my final was good so yay!
-Monday i went to school and turned in my final at the crack of dawn, i parked in the faculty parking lot just to piss you off granny. then i did NOTHING the rest of the day because i was real tired from working hard all weekend. it was wonderful actually, i napped and played with my doggies, and did things on my computer, and watched the BEST movie called Iron Jawed Angels. i rented it because it was by HBO (they make great movies) and had an amazing cast and was about the woman suffrage which i didnt know a ton about, and it was nominated for a lot of awards and won some too, and seriously it was SO good. i couldnt believe all of that happened for real, and those women were literally giving their lives so I could vote! it was incredible. Hillary Swank, Angelica Houston, and Patrick Dempsey. go to Netflix right now. do it. do it now. it made me cry it was so good!
-Tuesday i did more final work on my final lesson plans and prep for my math final. Annie went home sick so i did this all at the office and then came home and worked till real late again, so sleep deprived:(
-Wednesday got up kinda early to hit the math lab before the math final with my girls, we studied lots and i managed a B+ on that sucker! which means my final math grade is a whopping AAAAAAAAAAAA. my first A in math EVER!!!!!!! even though i worked real hard EVERY year!!! i promise you can do it friends, i did! and im the WORST! then i went to work for sick annie again. watched another movie with mom called The Savages with Laura Linney and Philip Seymoor Hoffman, it was really good but sad. i liked it. while watching i bought ALL my christmas presents. i pretty much rule. why does anyone go christmas shopping any other way?!
****Thursday met with Alyssa and we bought tickets and booked our hostel...for...um...PARIS, FRANCE. yeah, since i missed it over the summer due to the flu (see my Europe blog), and since the tickets were REALLY cheap, and since Alyssas never been, and since we both had enough $ to go...we did!!!! so peace out from January 6-15th. I'll be living it up in Paris, freezing my ass off, but having the time of my life with my dear friend in beautiful Paris!!! your so jealous and you should be, anyone who gets tickets from San Diego to Paris for $790 is someones to be envied! (also, im awesome.)
the rest of the day was spent running around town buying craft supplies because im finally on break and have time to do all this fun stuff! yay!
BUT THEN i came home and found out my brother almost died in a car accident that night!!! he was driving south on the 5 off Genesse when his fast lane stopped suddenly, so he swerved left to miss the car in front of him and clipped it a bit, because he was going 60mph it flipped his car and he rode down along the wall of the freeway with the car on its side scrapping the top of the car along the wall, breaking all the windows and dash, the entire car was totaled. a complete wreck. he had to finish breaking the window so he could climb out. yeah, he climbed out. he has nothing but a sore body and back. the other car was just nipped a bit in the back. 2 fire trucks, 2 ambulances, and policeman later, dad picks up brother at a nearby gas station and hes fine!!! seriously a miracle.
Today: just at work working on Paris stuff, Christmas stuff, and suprisingly work is kinda busy which is strange for a Friday. its SO nice to not have homework or studying to do, the best feeling ever!!

-Tuesday i did more final work on my final lesson plans and prep for my math final. Annie went home sick so i did this all at the office and then came home and worked till real late again, so sleep deprived:(
-Wednesday got up kinda early to hit the math lab before the math final with my girls, we studied lots and i managed a B+ on that sucker! which means my final math grade is a whopping AAAAAAAAAAAA. my first A in math EVER!!!!!!! even though i worked real hard EVERY year!!! i promise you can do it friends, i did! and im the WORST! then i went to work for sick annie again. watched another movie with mom called The Savages with Laura Linney and Philip Seymoor Hoffman, it was really good but sad. i liked it. while watching i bought ALL my christmas presents. i pretty much rule. why does anyone go christmas shopping any other way?!
****Thursday met with Alyssa and we bought tickets and booked our hostel...for...um...PARIS, FRANCE. yeah, since i missed it over the summer due to the flu (see my Europe blog), and since the tickets were REALLY cheap, and since Alyssas never been, and since we both had enough $ to go...we did!!!! so peace out from January 6-15th. I'll be living it up in Paris, freezing my ass off, but having the time of my life with my dear friend in beautiful Paris!!! your so jealous and you should be, anyone who gets tickets from San Diego to Paris for $790 is someones to be envied! (also, im awesome.)
the rest of the day was spent running around town buying craft supplies because im finally on break and have time to do all this fun stuff! yay!
BUT THEN i came home and found out my brother almost died in a car accident that night!!! he was driving south on the 5 off Genesse when his fast lane stopped suddenly, so he swerved left to miss the car in front of him and clipped it a bit, because he was going 60mph it flipped his car and he rode down along the wall of the freeway with the car on its side scrapping the top of the car along the wall, breaking all the windows and dash, the entire car was totaled. a complete wreck. he had to finish breaking the window so he could climb out. yeah, he climbed out. he has nothing but a sore body and back. the other car was just nipped a bit in the back. 2 fire trucks, 2 ambulances, and policeman later, dad picks up brother at a nearby gas station and hes fine!!! seriously a miracle.
Today: just at work working on Paris stuff, Christmas stuff, and suprisingly work is kinda busy which is strange for a Friday. its SO nice to not have homework or studying to do, the best feeling ever!!
this time it wont be so stinkin crowded, hot, and i wont have the flu for 5 days!!!Monday, November 24, 2008
thanksgiving better be worth it
taking a break from homework (more on that later) to eat some el pollo loco and to do a little posty post.
thanksgiving had better be awesome because im already exhausted and its still days away.
1) cammie is crazy and now hes driving me crazy! hes working 24/7 and only got a 1/2 day off on Thanksgiving and is working the day before and after as well. hes such a silly and figured hed just take the train back and forth to my house the day of...even though i told him weeks ago the train doesnt run on thanksgiving!!! now im stressing out because driving back and forth to downtown on a holiday and on a day my mom needs a lot of help hosting 10 people here...isnt very appealing! we'll figure it out, he'll get here one way or another!
2) hosting all these people is really crazy too. Irma is here cleaning now (i love her.) but she can only help so much the piles of junk my rents have stored all over the house. getting all their piles put away is a whole nother project. plus our carpet is ruined from a certain canine and needs to be cleaned again, which is yet another project.
3) meanwhile i have enough homework to last a lifetime and im trying to get as much done as i can so i can actually enjoy my days off...yeah right. not only do i have normal homework due wednesday and next monday, but i have all these final lesson plans and papers that are due next week too. its crazy!!! today im doing everything due wednesday and tomorrow ill bust out the finals work. i was supposed to go to school today, but we werent doing ANYTHING worth getting out of bed so early for and worth missing out on homework time for. so here i am in my smelly PJ's about 1/2 done with todays work.
4) i need to get my oil changed! guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow...
5) i need to dye my hair! that will be tonight! bye bye roots...
do you see this list of craziness?! thanks giving had better be amazing because im not busting my ass with all this cleaning, cooking, driving downtown, homework 24/7, errands, blehhhh for nothing!!!!
but i AM excited that cassie will be here! and kelsey too for that matter! and i am excited to see my family and play with all the kids (we have so much fun! its like i attract them...) and eat all the yummy food and cook good pumpkin pie and play my new Wii game-american idol (thanks kels!). so im sure it will be lovely.
and hopefully, very restful.

some great recent moments in my life
great recent moments in my life:
-teachers lounge at a local elementary school (where i student teach), everyday the Hispanic women who do the crossing guard and recess duty come in for an hour break in between recess'. they are all pretty large, older women, and when they arent rattling off about the weather in Spanish they are talking about their crossing duty woes. yesterday they were discussing how some people cross the street at the wrong spot and ways to handle the situation. they discussed this at lenght. or they will just be quiet and stare into space or stare at me making copies. often they fuss with the air conditioner even though i feel perfectly fine, they are all sweaty and gross from being outside. even now im giggling...
-when my supervising teacher tells all the third graders how great i am for preparing a bunch of curriculum for her and has them all say thank you to me. then she says, "we should call you Super Woman, orrr Wonder Woman!" and then the kids started coming up with their own, which included:
"or how about, Super Nice Woman!"
"or Super Teacher!"
"and Super Awesome!"
they love me. does it get any better than that?
-when i get 105% on my math test that was really hard, that i studied around 3 hours for, and that has been my hardest most stressful most tearful subject since the 4th grade.
-when i get really sad and frustrated with myself for being so self-centered, so cynical, and so selfish. but Jesus forgives me and does all the work for me when i ask him and let him change me to be the real person i was created to be. what would i do without you.
-when its been a LONG day and all i have to come home to is my doggies, some wine, and some folk...or piano music. no kids to scramble to make dinner for, no house to clean, no homework, nada. (this could actually be very depressing now that i think about it...but tonight im very thankful)
-when i turn in my 17 page paper (and thats without the appendix of evidence) Reading Case Study that i worked around 6 hours on SATURDAY on. the 6 hours is excluding the collection of evidence, which was about a 2 hour process also.
-when my beloved girls at school make me feel like im NOT crazy for being so cranky about things, but worry about me for being cranky all the same. i am loved.
write your great moments down somewhere. life isnt all that bad. its good to think about that sometimes. at least for me.

im ridiculous
well i sat by PE boy today (hooray!) and he told me what i missed because i was late again but thats all. so we'll see what happens wednesday. im kinda a creeper.
today my knee and ankle hurt a lot from the shower incident. i limped a little but managed some of the stairs on campus and it is feeling better. i got the brilliant idea to take some pain meds today to help...um hello, should have done that ages ago. but luckily while i was coming down to dinner my other foot missed the bottom stair and i fell again and almost sprained my other ankle. so things are looking up for the clumsiest girl alive.
brothers birthday was fun, me and my family downed 4 bottles of wine between the 6 of us. we pretty much rule. i was joking that "brother turned 21 so we ALL celebrated!" haha its so true. and lukey is so fun! he likes to eat pickles and its the cutest thing!
looking forward to this weekend is the only thing getting me through this long week! next week will be short, just one day of school and thats it! and full of fun friends and family and little to no homework and no small school and just a nice resting time and time for some finals prep. so this week seems so longgggg. and this weekend is my fun girls Twilight weekend and im so excited!!! plus i get to play with kels and annie and see kels new place and its going to be a nice little vaca.
i need a new book to read. im in the middle of Wuthering Heights and i absolutely LOVE it but its hard to read when you just wanna turn your brain off for awhile...you have to think while you read because the older english and amount of characters is confusing.
i need to apply for work...im thinking tutoring. but im so looking forward to break that i just dont want to think about work at all until finals and all this crap is over! maybe ill just forget about it until after christmas and then start looking for a jobby job to supplement my meager income.
thats all.
mom and the birthday boy!

some things
today is brothers birthday! hooray! happy birthday brother!
also,
today i went to the Apple store to get my computer actually fixed this time...but of course the cute manager there caught my eye...he was complete with trendy designer glasses, converse, half sleeve tat, and i think i even saw a wrist tattoo in there too...anyway, he was my type through and through. so we were kinda flirting, kinda not though because i was cranky about my computer and someone else was helping me...but then when i was just about to think of something witty and clever to say to him i did the wedding ring check and sure enough, married. so i decided that married people should start wearing t-shirts that say 'married' on them...but then i realized thats what the ring is for. owell.
also today,
my bathtub/shower doesnt have a bath mat for whatever reason so i always have to be really careful getting in and out and while im in the showever...well today when i was getting in i totally ate it and severely injured myself. my ankle is all torn up and sore and my knee is so sore im limping. i feel like a grandma. but seriously, it hurts real bad. im really clumsy people, it totally sucks.
this is my week of TWILIGHT!!! so excited! hopefully after this week i wont be such a freak anymore about it and can be a normal person again.
i got two huge papers done this weekend! yay! i did them alll weekend so the rest of the week i can play! tomorrow im going to try and go to my friends show in san marcos and maybe see the lovely and talented people whom i miss and love there, tuesday me and melissa have a date i cant disclose without telling kelsey first, thursday i have a doctors appointment im kinda nervous about, and friday is girls fun weekend 2008!!! yay!!!

today
cute boy from PE specifically made a point to talk to me today! ive had a crush on him since the first day of class but i was pretty sure my lack of coordination skills during activities would scare him off. i think my humor, good looks, and charms may have wooed him back again...hehe. its the little things that get us through the longest and most boring of days, such as today.
and then me and my best girls from my cohort went out for a drink after our horribly long day and it was SO wonderful. im so freaking thankful for them its ridiculous!
i love my iphone. i dont know how i ever lived without it.

mrs. grumpy gills
aww man today was the worst! well it wasnt that bad, ive had worse, but today just kept building up and im so so so done now. i had to vent a little. (PS sorry its been so long but i havent had anything worth writing about...kinda...)
1) today i had 2 hefty presentations and they went well so thats not a big deal but i spent ALL weekend preparing for them so im kinda burnt out. when i went to print something from my powerpoint before i presented it in my next class, all the pictures i took of specific documents and dragged into my presentation so the class could see them were all BLANK. i spent at least an hour taking the pictures, adjusting them in iphoto, resizing them in powerpoint...ARG. i was NOT happy. but luckily i fixed it before the actual presentation so at least it didnt look like total crap.
2) i worked so hard all weekend on homework and presentations that i have at LEAST 3 sore paper cuts all over my fingers. i just got a new one about 10 minutes ago and its all sore and bleedy (sorry kels, but its true)
3) the lovliest part of my day was when best buy called to tell me for the 3rd time ive brought my mac in for repairs that "nothings wrong you crazy!". i tried to call them back 3 times but it just kept ringing so i had to go there after school. they informed me that my computers hardware is perfectly fine and the issues im having, and have had since like 6 months after i got the computer, must be internal software issues and thats not covered by my $400 care program. yeah. awesome. so how much would it be to fix the computer? oh you know...$35 for shipping back and forth...and then around $100 per thing that ends up being wrong with it. so im not very happy about that. so i say screw you guys, if im paying anyone im paying actual apple people instead of you assholes. so i go all the way to the apple store and try to make an appointment but of course they are booked for at least 72 hours in advance. awesome.
so my papercuts, broken powerpoint, broken computer, and asshole best buy people have ruined my day.
i hate computers.
i hate best buy.
and i even hate apple.
however, upon leaving best buy almost crying i happened upon a "free" copy of the latest entertainment weekly with my Twilight loves on the cover and a 6 page spread inside! so that at least made me a little happier for about 30 minutes! hooray!
now excuse me while i go put some neosporin on my cuts and bandaid all my fingers.

always tired on a Friday
sorry i havent been updating my lil bloggy blog dear friends. i havent had much to report, just busy with school heating up, my small school student teaching, and still working at the office on fridays. i have some fun plans this and next weekend, so thats fun...but otherwise, nothing exciting or new really.
tomorrow we all get dressed up "foxy" and go rollar skating for Jordans 22nd birthday! hooray! sunday me and mom and other mother daughters from her book club are going to see the secret life of bees and then i think im going to pumpkin carve at Alyssas house. (YAY!)
next weekend is halloween events! friday we're having a little work party here for lunch (free food! yay!) and then me and annie will be dressing up (of course i cant tell u! thatd ruin the suprise!) and going to the Surf n Saddle for a lil drink and to mingle with the local drunks in costume...then im going to hit up my old vpdq friends and crash the party i wasnt really invited too but saw the post that said "everyones invited" so i assume that includes me...plus, they dont care and i know they would love to see me so ha. saturday night is Allis HUGE party which im still undecided about, its a little overwhelming to attend a party with a billion people i know like 5 people there. so well see.
ok, im trying to get the energy to do my homework so im going to do this survey. plus, its my blog so i cant do what i want!
Do you bump into someones arm if you want to hold their hand?
i think thatd be very improper for a lady to do. however, i wouldnt be opposed if a date tried it, hehe
Last argument?
last real argument with yelling and tears was with cassie in Switzerland. i was sick and not in the mood to deal with issues she was trying to help me work on. it was actually really funny because 2 people staying in the hostel were down the stairs listening to the entire thing, so funny!
You hugged?
kelsey. shes one of the best huggers! except i wasnt wearing a bra and she wasnt very happy about that.
You cried with?
Jesus
Reason for the last tear shed?
i miss community and small groups and accountability and even large group services. im VERY frustrated and keep getting doors shut in my face when i try. grr!
Someone who means a great deal to you?
so many people can fill this spot. we'll say Cammie for now. he was lost but now hes found and it makes me so very happy!
Anything you want to confess?
my nose piercing is infected and its really gross on the inside
Highlight of your day?
when the beautiful mysterious boy came into work finally! i didnt get all dressed up for nothing! and when micah told me about Jesus' excitability scale that goes from 1-cameron. hehe
Feel a sense of guilt lately?
not really...maybe for not working on my millions of homework and projects that are due at the end of the year. the end of november and first week in December are going to be rough unless i get it together! eek!
Want something badly?
community. and maybe a boyfriend or something of that nature...like multiple dates with a sweet guy would be ok with me too. im not obsessed or anything, but its hard not to think about it when ur 23, been single for far too long, and everyone else seems to be getting married or MIA because of significant others.
Is it cute when a boy/girl calls you babe?
im not sure ive ever had this happen. i think id be ok with it, but i can think of way sweeter and more enduring words he could use that would better describe me. babe seems kinda outdated anyway, this isnt 1985 no matter how hard you dress like it.
Who was the last person of the same sex you shared the same bed with?
probably cassie in Europe. it was our favorite! i miss her a lot.
Which of your friends do you argue with the most?
we dont really argue like for real...we have discussions were we disagree on things...but its not like an all out brawl where we cry and get mad or anything...so i dunno. actually, me and cassie went thru a phase in Europe where we "argued" a lot about random crap. dont worry tho, after like a week we went back to loving eachother like a sister so its ok:)
What is something you like to do when you're down?
sleep, its my favorite and also my worst habit. i also like to eat cookies, also a bad habit. or have a drink, also a bad habit. over the last few years as ive realized this about myself, ive tried to quit doing those things and instead go play with friends and laugh or talk to my momma or play with my doggies or journal and draw: all those things always make me happy, i just forget sometimes.
Is it easier to forgive or forget?
both are so so hard. if u get to the point where u an forgive its amazing...but ur memory keeps on rearing its ugly head everytime ur feeling a little weak. life is rough people.
What is one thing you must have in a relationship?
communication. it seriously makes the world go round.
Do you believe in second chances?
what is this referring too? my answer depends on that obviously. for the most part ill give someone a 2nd chance under specific guidelines and with a new protection over whatever got hurt in the first place.
If there was something you can do over, what would it be?
my first trip to India. i feel like i was so stressed out with life before going and vaunerable to the deep sadness that penetrated my heart upon seeing the ugliness there. it was so awful that i couldnt see any of the amzing beauty or make as much of an impact i feel like i could have made. i was just a lil 18 year old, so its ok.
Did the last person you kiss deserve it?
nope. im hoping to have a much better "last kiss" asap
Do you think you can possibly be with the person you love forever?
unfortunatly im not in love, but if i was then i would probably say yes...unless something was seriously wrong and i was in denial, which could potentially happen.
How do you feel about yourself as a person?
i think im fat and over analytical. BUT i think otherwise im not to bad looking and i try and use my over analytical side to change the world instead of ruining my own.
What do you have planned for your life?
ive only planned until ive gotten my degree and credential in spring 09. then ill either get a sweet job at a nice local public school or private school. or ill substitute teach and finish my art degree. or ill work at a museum working in the childrens program. or ill work in an after school art program in low economic areas...something like that:) then eventually ill get married and get my babies from India and LOVE my life!
Can you honestly say that looks don't matter?
of course they matter! but in the end, if the person on the inside is ugly, it always comes out one way or another...and sooner then u think.
Would you rather hear the painful truth or a happy lie?:
depends on the situation again. usually, i do better with the truth, but i may need time away to deal with it...then we can be friends again;)
What really irritates you?
people who talk...A LOT. and never ask you about yourself, because they dont care, they just want to tell u all about the nothingness in their life. if u cared at all to begin with, you now want to kill them and then yourself. i also hate over achievers which is unfortunatly about half my teaching group at school. i also dont like politicians because they are liars and talk too much and do too little...and yet i cant stop watching the news. i also dont like people who try really hard to be cool or liked or whatever, just be who you are! i could go on...this is only the beginning.
Is there someone you're attracted to?
ALWAYS. this is the life of an outgoing single 23 year old: you begin to have crushes on random people you see on a regular basis who smile at you. ie: the guy from the office, starbucks guy from school, the guy in the writing center (note ive never actually been in the writing center but the math lab is right next door so...), the cute indie guy who i walk by on my breaks at school, and a few "real" people from my former life who will always know me as a friend...the ol dawsons creek episode. haha.
that was definitly one of my better surveys.
my hero.
tomorrow we all get dressed up "foxy" and go rollar skating for Jordans 22nd birthday! hooray! sunday me and mom and other mother daughters from her book club are going to see the secret life of bees and then i think im going to pumpkin carve at Alyssas house. (YAY!)
next weekend is halloween events! friday we're having a little work party here for lunch (free food! yay!) and then me and annie will be dressing up (of course i cant tell u! thatd ruin the suprise!) and going to the Surf n Saddle for a lil drink and to mingle with the local drunks in costume...then im going to hit up my old vpdq friends and crash the party i wasnt really invited too but saw the post that said "everyones invited" so i assume that includes me...plus, they dont care and i know they would love to see me so ha. saturday night is Allis HUGE party which im still undecided about, its a little overwhelming to attend a party with a billion people i know like 5 people there. so well see.
ok, im trying to get the energy to do my homework so im going to do this survey. plus, its my blog so i cant do what i want!
Do you bump into someo
i think thatd be very improper for a lady to do. however, i wouldnt be opposed if a date tried it, hehe
Last argum
last real argument with yelling and tears was with cassie in Switzerland. i was sick and not in the mood to deal with issues she was trying to help me work on. it was actually really funny because 2 people staying in the hostel were down the stairs listening to the entire thing, so funny!
You hugge
kelsey. shes one of the best huggers! except i wasnt wearing a bra and she wasnt very happy about that.
You cried
Jesus
Reaso
i miss community and small groups and accountability and even large group services. im VERY frustrated and keep getting doors shut in my face when i try. grr!
Someo
so many people can fill this spot. we'll say Cammie for now. he was lost but now hes found and it makes me so very happy!
Anyth
my nose piercing is infected and its really gross on the inside
Highl
when the beautiful mysterious boy came into work finally! i didnt get all dressed up for nothing! and when micah told me about Jesus' excitability scale that goes from 1-cameron. hehe
Feel a sense
not really...maybe for not working on my millions of homework and projects that are due at the end of the year. the end of november and first week in December are going to be rough unless i get it together! eek!
Want somet
community. and maybe a boyfriend or something of that nature...like multiple dates with a sweet guy would be ok with me too. im not obsessed or anything, but its hard not to think about it when ur 23, been single for far too long, and everyone else seems to be getting married or MIA because of significant others.
Is it cute when a boy/girl calls
im not sure ive ever had this happen. i think id be ok with it, but i can think of way sweeter and more enduring words he could use that would better describe me. babe seems kinda outdated anyway, this isnt 1985 no matter how hard you dress like it.
Who was the last perso
probably cassie in Europe. it was our favorite! i miss her a lot.
Which
we dont really argue like for real...we have discussions were we disagree on things...but its not like an all out brawl where we cry and get mad or anything...so i dunno. actually, me and cassie went thru a phase in Europe where we "argued" a lot about random crap. dont worry tho, after like a week we went back to loving eachother like a sister so its ok:)
What is somet
sleep, its my favorite and also my worst habit. i also like to eat cookies, also a bad habit. or have a drink, also a bad habit. over the last few years as ive realized this about myself, ive tried to quit doing those things and instead go play with friends and laugh or talk to my momma or play with my doggies or journal and draw: all those things always make me happy, i just forget sometimes.
Is it easie
both are so so hard. if u get to the point where u an forgive its amazing...but ur memory keeps on rearing its ugly head everytime ur feeling a little weak. life is rough people.
What is one thing
communication. it seriously makes the world go round.
Do you belie
what is this referring too? my answer depends on that obviously. for the most part ill give someone a 2nd chance under specific guidelines and with a new protection over whatever got hurt in the first place.
If there
my first trip to India. i feel like i was so stressed out with life before going and vaunerable to the deep sadness that penetrated my heart upon seeing the ugliness there. it was so awful that i couldnt see any of the amzing beauty or make as much of an impact i feel like i could have made. i was just a lil 18 year old, so its ok.
Did the last perso
nope. im hoping to have a much better "last kiss" asap
Do you think
unfortunatly im not in love, but if i was then i would probably say yes...unless something was seriously wrong and i was in denial, which could potentially happen.
How do you feel about
i think im fat and over analytical. BUT i think otherwise im not to bad looking and i try and use my over analytical side to change the world instead of ruining my own.
What do you have plann
ive only planned until ive gotten my degree and credential in spring 09. then ill either get a sweet job at a nice local public school or private school. or ill substitute teach and finish my art degree. or ill work at a museum working in the childrens program. or ill work in an after school art program in low economic areas...something like that:) then eventually ill get married and get my babies from India and LOVE my life!
Can you hones
of course they matter! but in the end, if the person on the inside is ugly, it always comes out one way or another...and sooner then u think.
Would
depends on the situation again. usually, i do better with the truth, but i may need time away to deal with it...then we can be friends again;)
What reall
people who talk...A LOT. and never ask you about yourself, because they dont care, they just want to tell u all about the nothingness in their life. if u cared at all to begin with, you now want to kill them and then yourself. i also hate over achievers which is unfortunatly about half my teaching group at school. i also dont like politicians because they are liars and talk too much and do too little...and yet i cant stop watching the news. i also dont like people who try really hard to be cool or liked or whatever, just be who you are! i could go on...this is only the beginning.
Is there
ALWAYS. this is the life of an outgoing single 23 year old: you begin to have crushes on random people you see on a regular basis who smile at you. ie: the guy from the office, starbucks guy from school, the guy in the writing center (note ive never actually been in the writing center but the math lab is right next door so...), the cute indie guy who i walk by on my breaks at school, and a few "real" people from my former life who will always know me as a friend...the ol dawsons creek episode. haha.
that was definitly one of my better surveys.
my hero.

so relaxing its almost boring?!
this weekend has been so so nice!
friday i spent the day organizing my music and putting CD covers on all my albums. it was out of hand and im such a freak about it being organized i dont know how it got so bad! well i do, I've changed computers and deleted and then reuploaded my music library many times. im going to back up my perfect iTunes so it will always be pretty now:) but my actual ipod is another story. more organizing to ensue! yay!
in the evening Annie came over and gave me my awesome birthday gift. a bunch of sweet office supplies from "The Office", love it! she helped me make dinner even though she was tanked and i picked up cammie from the train! we had a lovely dinner of pasta and salad (pretty much the only thing i can cook without fussing with a recipe book) and annie brought a cake and we had soy ice cream too! well, i had soy ice cream:) then we watched a favorite movie, The Life Aquatic with Stevesie Zissou. so funny!
yesterday me and cammie slept in reallll good and we went to the apple store to get something and i fell in love with an employee there that im sure ive met before but i cant remember when or where...hes my type. i love him. im trying to think of more reasons to go there and flirt with him. gosh, i have crushes on the best buy guy, the starbucks guy, and now the apple guy. i think im getting into that "crazy lady" realm and id better get out quick. anyway, then we got justin burritos and ate at the beach and went for a walk and sat in the lovely sunny sand. then we went to Envirogentle before cammie had to go home. then i took a nap...so nice.
today i slept in again reallll good. then i wrote a paper, studied for my mid term tomorrow, researched my summer adventure ideas for the summer, and now i think im going to make some pizza and watch my vampire show:)
such a nice weekend. i havent really been bored ive just been enjoying myself and being alone...it would have been too lonely without cammie and annie...but otherwise, its been nice to just read and nap and cook and relax.
PS im really upset because Degrassi is back for another season with all these young kids i dont know or care about and im upset because im too old for the show anymore and i miss my youth:( cassie is the only one who understands. i miss her.
summer adventure ideas so far: staff a DTS at YWAM Madison. staff the kids program at Hume Lake. watch what happens!
PS: i got a bunch of new music and its SO exciting! i have an ongoing list of music i want all the time...i add to it upon my research and readings...well i was able to cross a few off! new Cat Power, Dashboard Confessional, Interpol, Conor Oberst, MGMT, and i even broke down and got a few Duffy songs. i only bought 2 albums and 4 songs so it wasnt too crazy, the other two were for my birthday from brother. but ive been enjoying my new music SO SO much. ive earned it. love it.

my current observations:
im sitting outside the math lab on campus. i can be found here about once every 2 weeks because i suck at math, however lately ive been having issues with this place.
1) if this is a place to do homework and work on problems, why is it so dang LOUD?! the staff are literally shouting to each other across the room talking about their other math classes, social security numbers, meetings, tests, you know: really important things i need to hear about while im trying to do my work. sometimes when i ask for help, i cant even hear them explain to me the problems. i have to listen to my headphones the entire time im in there in order to actually get anything done. its so strange to me, why have a study place when no one can study cause your all gabbing away like old ladies about your stupid math classes?
PS i am currently sitting OUTSIDE the math lab and can still hear these loud mouths.
2) they always make me sign in and it takes me like 10 minutes to fish out my student ID out of my bag because i can never remember the number. why do u need me to sign in? my professor doesnt require me to sign in and show that i was there so why have me do it? im not 5 years old, and the door is always clogged with people also fishing out their IDs and trying to enter them onto the super slow log in computer. come on people, this is 2008.
3) there is a poor girl in there with SO much makeup on that i wanted to cry. it didnt even look good, in fact it looked pretty awful. im concerned for her. people: STOP PUTTING LIQUID EYE LINER ON YOUR LOWER LID it looks realllllly reallllllly awful and your really not supposed to use it like that.
4) there was this really cute guy leaving when i came in and he was joking with the ladies that he was wearing the same thing he wore to bed except his was really bad because it was a grey shirt and showed all the sweat and is gross...i didnt hear the beginning of the conversation but he was really funny and made me feel better about wearing the same thing again today. heres my reasoning on the matter though: i only wore it to small school and was in A/C all day so i didnt really sweat or anything. then i just sat in bed and worked on things. then i got a pedicure. then i changed. so really, i didnt do a lot in this outfit so who cares. i just think its funny. annnnd my rents are gone and im at normal school today so no one will ever know!
in other news:
i taught a really wonderful math lesson yesterday! yay! we did a big chart with bracelets with 4 charms on each bracelet and drew them all out until we got to 12. i was introducing their new number patterns chapter as it connects to multiplication. then they had to come up with their own item and make their own chart. it was so fun! and the kids were so creative and worked nicely with their partners and it was just so cute! some kids drew a head with 4 teeth in each head...so funny. another group did pigs (4 legs on each of course:). a few groups did cookies, a variation of the bracelet charms questions, etc. i had a lot of fun doing it and i think it went well. we'll see what my evaluation says though!
another rant: i get really frustrated with people who try and talk about politics and why they are voting for the person they are voting for, but then when i ask them legit questions about specific issues and why they think the way they do they just spout some generality they heard from someone else (usually their parents or sometimes a friend whos kinda an extremist on either end). it happens on both the democratic and republican side and it just frustrates me. if your going to try and talk about something, at least be knowledgeable about it. otherwise you just sound like an idiot. THINK FOR YOURSELF.
crazy times!

happy birthday to me!
yayyyyy its my 23rd birthday!!!
i had such a lovely birthday weekend. Friday night me and the rents went to see my favorite musicians of all time play a show on the same bill! what are the odds?!
Iron & Wine
and
the Swell Season as featured in the movie ONCE (my fav movie of all time of course).
that was quite a night. for all of us music lovers out there, we know that feeling your body gets when your listening to some amazing music. its hard to describe. its like your heart is beating so fast and you start breathing really fast and you feel kinda tingly and happy...so so happy but also like to want to cry...and sometimes you do. you want to close your eyes and fall into the sound but also want to keep them open to see how they are making that beautiful noise. its got to be similar to how a drug makes people feel. thats the best i can describe it. if you've never experienced this either your listening to shitty music or you're never allowed to say "im really into music"...or both options of course.
anyway, then Saturday i slept in real good and played with kelsey and annie and jordan a little and then went down to Micah and Cammies for a joint birthday for me and Julia. Our birthdays are both today! yay! they had a black and white theme party and me and Julia got to wear a dash of color cause its our birthday:) it was SO fun! Tisha and CJ were there...and cammie and micah of course...and new church friends. so nice. except when i drank too much and wasnt a happy camper. hence, why i did NOTHING on Sunday because i was so so so sick. Champange can really do me in apparently. not fun. but im feeling fine today and just went to school. tonight me and the entire family are going out for a nice Italian dinner in Enc! yay! so fun!
heres some really cute pictures from Saturday night, i LOVE them!

something funny
in case you dont know, me and my friend annie both work as the receptionist at an executive suites in the area. actually, the correct term is "office manager" since we do more than just answer phones and mail stuff:) anyway, annie works M-TH and i work Fridays. me and annie write work notes to each other to keep up on things going on in the office. usually they are just normal office things, but sometimes its just really boring here and uneventful so i write funny notes or decorate them or leave her weird things on the computer, etc. this weeks note is just really funny and since she wont see this till at least Monday im posting some excerpts for your viewing pleasure.
reference:
"Brad Pitt" is the beautiful and mysterious boy who sometimes works in the studio. hes so mysterious we dont actually know his name. he only smiles...sometimes...
the final paragraph is clearly a reference to Twilight in case your an idiot and havent read it (seriously, go read it now)
--------------
me and annie at the office last winter. clearly Big Gulps of Diet Coke (or Coke for the Ginger) are preferable over coffee ANY day! (its ok to be thinking- "big gulps huh...welp, see ya later!" we said that pretty much every time we had them too...which was pretty much everyday)

Hey Annie!
“just on a roll”
…he said 4 words to me…sigh…
(does “a” count as a word? It does now)
I just wish he wore tighter pants.
