It's either feast or famine with me, isn't it?!

Yet another update from ME!

Last nights 2nd date went well! We went out to dinner and then came back here and watched a movie. Well, actually...I grabbed the wrong keys so was locked out so after dinner we drove to my Dad's, got a key to his house from the neighbors, then got my spare key from his place, and THEN came over here and watched a movie. Crazy but fun! :)

I worked this afternoon. The girl I tutor has a huge project due soon so we were working on that for 4 hours. I'm tired now, but the money is worth it! Plus her Mom was making cookies and sent me home with a couple. Though, they didn't actually make it home!

I had some really ODD dreams last night. Well really one dream I think where the setting kept changing. I apparently had a baby boy and nobody had known I was pregnant. So I had this kid, the dad was some loser guy who then came to my parents house (Mom was alive, but just in the background really) and my Dad told him to fuck off cause he wanted custody. I never came up with a name for my son though. I kept thinking Owen or naming him after my Dad. At one point in the dream I was in a dorm-like room with Lisa, Kate, and one or two other people I was getting up the nerve to tell them I'd had a child a couple days prior. Then Mr. Forney (my junior high history teacher and a current teacher where I work) was there and I told him.

That's really all I remember. Weird huh??

Good news!!

The guy from last night wants to take me out again tonight! :) We're going to Costco for chicken bakes which I totally LOVE! I'm always surprised at how hard it is for me to get a date, I'm a cheap date! Take me to Costco or Subway and I'm good! LOL

I had a weird dream last night about this guy I know. I've always had a little crush on him but he doesn't see me that way. In it, he changed his mind and asked me out. It was nice! Does God speak to people through dreams?

stuff and things

I have lots to write about tonight...let's see how much I get out before I get bored! I always want to write, but am rarely motivated. LOL

Things with new Kevin (long date from a couple weeks ago) didn't work out. I'm only a little bummed but such is life. I don't think we were right for each other, though we did have a lot in common and he is a redhead. There are more fish in the sea!

I went out with a guy named Marc tonight. I had a really good time! We went to dinner and then saw Bride Wars. Good movie, very funny! I got a little teary at one point, but it's all good. Then he brought me home and walked me to my door. Very gentlemanly! :) We'll see what happens, but I'm not stressing about it. God has somebody for me (crosses fingers)!

Work is going pretty good. I only worked 2 days this week and they were a little stressful at times, but overall not bad. The kids' behavior is just getting worse though. We're trying to figure out some options.

Oh yeah, I ran into one of my students (a teacher too) at the theater. It was a little weird, but he's one of the good kids, probably our best so I survived. I just hope he doesn't say anything next week because the other kids will just give me crap about it and they don't need any more ammo for insulting me.

On Tuesday I slipped on some ice on my stairs and fell, banging my leg up pretty bad. That's why I missed 2 days of work. I've got an ugly bruise on my shin and a scrape on my knee which HURTS every time I move it. But I did get a good knee bandaid from the school nurse today so at least it's not rubbing against my jeans. Falling down stairs HURTS!

I got a cat on Sunday (Lucy) from a co-worker and am so in love with her!!!! I'm still getting used to having a pet and taking care of her. Cleaning the litter box SUCKS big fat monkey nuts! And cat hair is everywhere, but she is so cute and I'm so happy with her! She didn't eat the first couple days but is now so I'm not worried about that. She also got in my fireplace the first morning, but I don't think she has again which is good. She's a smart cat too! And very polite! I don't think she got on my bed or couch until I put her there. Of course, now she has no problem going on either. I need to find my camera and then I'll take some pics to share.

Hmmm...I feel like there was more to write about but I can't think of anything.

My first cute cat story!!

So I couldn't find Lucy this morning...she wasn't under my bed anymore (which is where she was when I went to sleep) and I looked under the futon, couch, and anywhere else I could think of. Then I look over and see her...IN MY FIREPLACE!! LOL So she's no longer white with black and orange spots, she's gray with black and orange spots. It's cute and hilarious to me. She's also leaving a trail of soot wherever she goes. I'm not too concerned about it, though I tried to clean off her paws. My dad has to come clean some of my carpet anyway, he can just do that area again.

I am a little worried that she's not eating, but it's only been a day and I know I'm stressing out WAY too early! I've killed more than one cactus before though, so I'm paranoid!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

So far I'm having a totally awesome birthday! I had lunch with my Dad and he gave me the sweetest card which I will treasure forever. Tonight is dinner with about 8 of us at the Ram. I usually don't plan big things for my birthday because I never think people will come (see the pic) but this year I did and I will have a blast tonight!

More details later!!

the world's longest first date!

So this weekend I had a date that lasted 49 hours straight! It was just that good! I met this guy online, his name is Kevin! (I know, really?!? lol) We met for lunch on Friday and our date ended today after we had lunch, ironically at the same restaurant. Wait, is that really irony? I never know!

We played warcraft together, went to a bar, watched some DVD's, talked a lot, cuddled, and just had a GREAT time!! He's a redhead too so YUMMY! It's safe to say we hit it off! I am looking forward to seeing him again.

We have a LOT in common, it's kinda freaky! He's way into history, likes warcraft, enjoys musicals, and he's somebody who's not afraid to watch jeopardy with me! I love that!! I'm totally crushing on him right now!

On another note, I'm not ready to go back to work tomorrow. 18 days off isn't enough! LOL I know I'm totally spoiled with my job. I also have a doctors appointment tomorrow, a woman's one, so YUCKY!

Saturday is my birthday and I'm excited!!

I'm torn...

We had our Christmas dinner tonight (finally!!) and I ended up getting some Christmas money from my Dad that was unexpected. I'm torn with what to do with it. Part of me says just put it in the bank cause I need more money in savings in case something happens. Another part says give it back to Dad cause I owe him some money. Not sure he'd take it though. And then part of me is like, it's a GIFT...go out and spend it. Buy the Wii you want or a laptop (totally don't need) or a couch or a new bed or pots and pans. Something that would be a big purchase for me! You know, those things you want but can never justify spending money on...I'm so conflicted!!!
