Spring Break!!

OMG!!! I need this week off in the worst way! The kids are crazy and I just need time away from them. And it's sooooo nice to sleep in! My hope/goal is to not be too lazy all week and to actually get stuff done, mainly some SERIOUS Spring cleaning. My place is yucky. I typed out a list yesterday of everything I wanted to get done in each room. I know myself and so I'll be happy if I get 3 rooms done. Surprisingling I actually did a little today. I didn't get out of bed until 2pm when Kate called to invite me to Denny's and when I got home about 45 min ago I showered, shaved my legs, put on capris, potted some plants on my balcony, washed some dishes, AND took out the garbage. Not bad for a Sunday! The big thing that has to get done is un-caulking and re-caulking my tub cause it's a little moldy in one spot. EWWW!!! That actually takes some planning and work. I'm thinking Thursday for the cleaning and then Friday for the caulking (so it can be super dry) and then Saturday I can shower again. Maybe start Wednesday though. We'll see.

In other news...well, there isn't any really. I got a letter from my high school last week. I guess they're putting together a huge directory of all the classes up to 2006. I called so they'd have my info correct and then they wanted to sell me the book...$80 I think. I laughed at the guy. LOL Then he offered me something for only $40 and I laughed again. I told him I can get ahold of just about anybody via Facebook. At least all the people I want to talk to.

So that's all I guess I have to say right now. Oh yeah, one more thing. I'm going on a train trip to Portland with Darlene next month. Just overnight but I'm super excited!!

Peace out homies!!

Back by popular demand...

Okay, one person (Rebekah) doesn't really constitute "popular" demand, but I'm going with it! But I'm writing during down time in Warcraft (NERD!!!!) so it's going to take me awhile to write, but you'd never know that if I hadn't told you.

I'm watching Food Network Challenge - Disney Celebration Cakes. I love the challenges, especially when they're Disney based. After this episode is another Disney one that I've never seen. Very cool!

Watching this has confirmed that I want to go to Disneyland for my 30th birthday next year. I tried to look up prices, but it's too far in advance. I (tentatively) want to fly down on the 9th and come back on the 12th. Probably 3 days at the parks. Of course I don't want to go alone and as much as I love my Dad, I want to go with a friend or friends. So I'm putting this out there as a SAVE THE DATE, if you want to go. As Shelley has pointed out, saving needs to start NOW! I'm not sure how much it'll cost, but I'm anticipating $600/person. That's what it cost Shelley and I for everything (except food) a couple years ago. Granted, this would be a day longer I think. But it's a ballpark figure nonetheless. So, are you interested?? I know EVERYBODY will want to go, but realistically, is it something you would consider? I'd love to have you there!!!

Let's see...what else has been going on??? I haven't seen Marc in 2 weeks now. He's been busy, but a little weird too. Don't know where it's going, probably nowhere, but I'm not stressed about it which is nice.

I've been having some God issues lately. I just don't really care anymore. I mean I do, I believe and everything, and I know He has a plan for me, BUT I am completely 100% unmotivated to do anything about furthering my faith. I have all these resources (friends, books, etc.) but I can't seem to bring myself to do anything about it. It's like I'm in a desert, dying of thirst, and there's water right in front of me, but I can't bring myself to drink. I feel this way about other things too, chores, working out, and such. Things I need to do, I know I need to do them, but I just can't do them. What's up with that? Anybody got anything suggestions for that?

The whole daylight savings thing has been throwing me off. I never remember it bothering me before but this year (cause I'm old maybe? lol) I'm still feeling it a week later. It being light out later just throws me off...I think I have all this time left in the day, but I don't. GRRR!!! And it doesn't help that it's so freaking cold out...where's SPRING!?!

Work is going fine. Nothing exciting there. I started tutoring another kid, one that's been suspended for the rest of the year. So I tutor 5 days a week now. The extra money will be nice, especially for DISNEYLAND. I might pick up another suspended kid too, we'll see. He's a JERK so I don't mind if somebody else wants to tutor him.

Spring Break is coming up in 2 weeks. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have any exciting plans, but I have things I want to get done. I am going to walk every morning with Michelle. I also have a bunch of chores I want to do. I want to dust and vacuum EVERYWHERE, do some Spring cleaning, clean my deck, and re-caulk my tub. I thought about a road trip, but don't have the money for it.

Speaking of a road trip...I'm planning on one for Summer. If I work Summer School, I should be able to afford a trip, as long as gas prices don't go up too much. The ultimate plan would be up into Canada, through Calgary, Edmonton, Moose Jaw, down through North and South Dakota, swing by Colorado to see Alisha, swing through Nevada to see Katie, and then probably a stop in SF to see my Grandma and maybe Lisa. Then home. Sounds awesome doesn't it?! Want to join me?? I'm thinking the first 2 weeks of August maybe. Then I'll be home in time to get settled for next school year.

I just found a hole in my sock...I go through so many socks!!!

Okay, it's almost 8 and I haven't had dinner yet. I think I'm going to go do that now. And maybe take my bra off, it's bothering me. I hate having big boobs!

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.
