Love Love Love this quote!!!

This quote comes from the show Cashmere Mafia. It's only the second show and it already has me hooked. It's sort of a Sex and the City knock off but with a more power driven, have it all, girl power attitude thing.

There is a part where a woman sort of threatens another woman's territory and here is her retaliation:

"Just so you know...I don't blame you for hitting on my husband. He's a good looking guy, and he's an adult so I trust him to make his own decisions, but Don't Hit On My Kids,.......ever again."

Haha....If you saw it you would love it too.

First Official Day

Well it started out really rough. I didn't go to sleep early last night because I took a nap after school, so it was a struggle for me to get up. I know the exact time I have to leave in order to get to work on time. I went grocery shopping last night, so that I could have lunch the next day. I don't like drinking La Joya for various reasons, so I bought a gallon of Spring Water. Well last night I leave it out so that I can remember to take it with me to school. Not a good idea. My cats must have been curious so they poked holes in it and when I woke up there was water everywhere. Luckily my keys were not on the counter so the remote wasn't ruined, but my bag however was. Needless to say I was not as early as I wanted to be.

After the brief chaos in the morning, the rest of my day was much better. My students really seemed like they missed me, and as cheesy as this might seem, I missed them too. The classes were not as prepared as I would have liked them but they were willing to take on the new changes.

Practice was great. I really think we are finally moving in the right direction. Only one thing will hold us back: Time. We have one month to get everything finished. Fingers crossed.

Back to School

School started today. It was a teacher work day so there were no students so it kind of eased us into it. This past weekend was stressful. I know money makes the world go round but sometimes it makes the world spin so fast it literally makes you sick. I am lucky enough to have my family there for me.

We went to Mexico on Friday. We ate, shopped, and walked around. I got some cookies and a couple of DVD's. We got home and I started helping my mom on a calendar project.

Saturday I slept. Sun wasn't much of a difference.

Now all the fun begins. Competition season is here. I will be going to the Island next weekend to watch then our season starts.

My sister has a meeting today with Prada. I wish her the best of luck!

Happy New Year!!!

Yea!!! 2007 is gone and the new year is here. There is a High School Reunion meeting today. I definitely want to go. I want to see how everyone is doing and it would be nice to be involved with the whole making of.

My sister is gone. She is now living in NYC. I am so very proud of her and I miss her terribly.

For some reason I always date my boyfriends more than once. Isn't that crazy? I mean all of them. Why is that? Is there something wrong with me? I really need to evaluate that little fact. It's not always my fault either.

So, another reason to vent: The considerate phone call.
Why is it so hard to pick up the phone and call a person? If your making plans with someone, and realize that your not going to be able to make it, why not call them and tell them? It's only right. Why leave them hanging and waiting?

There is a marathon of America's Next Top Model going on all this week. Cycle 1-9. I have seen almost all the cycles, but for some reason I can't stop watching. My new show that I can't tear my eyes away from is Crowned. It is so entertaining.

This weekend, I'm planning to go to Mexico with my parents. I am really looking forward to it. We are going to eat lunch, shop and hopefully I can buy a bottle.

Notes: Money sucks

Hungry

Presents

Last one before the new year!!!

Sooo.... Tonight is new years eve.


Some things I did today...



Went to the mall. Helped Isaac pick out a Christmas present for his mom. You know, I never knew how expensive jewelry was. I always get costume jewelry for myself, and very rarely does someone get me jewelry as a gift. So I never put much thought into how much or even the amount of time it takes for one person to pick out a piece for another person. It is pretty hard. I almost feel sorry for guys....almost. Considering the amount of stress they put us under I would say that it evens out. LOL.... now you know I probably won't be getting jewelry this year.

I also got to experience Build a Bear. It is so cute! The process is amazing. Whoever thought of it is a genius. You get an animal, which is un-stuffed, then proceed to pick out sounds and even a little heart. You have to "wake up" the heart. It really is a cute little way they make you do it. I had a blast. Then you name your stuffed animal and register him or her. My build a bear animal is a Cheetah. His name is Spot. His birthday is 12/31/07. He has a really ferocious growl.

After the mall, I went to Barnes and Noble. That truly is my favorite store and for Christmas my cousins gave me a gift card. I spent way more than the gift card had on it but I did buy some interesting books. I bought Choke by Chuck Palahnicuk, Still Thinking of You by Adele Parks and Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie faria Stolarz. I have read Haunted by Chuck Palahnicuk and really liked his writing style so I decided to read Choke. It should be interesting. I think I will read that one first. The second book I have never heard of the author. I don't like reading books that I have never heard of the author but after reading the jacket I decided to take a chance. The third is first in a 4 part series. I hate when books end. It makes me really sad, so I hope this series is pretty good. All are fiction books by the way. I considered buying a biography book by Alice Sebold but decided I already had enough on my plate and not enough money in my pocket.

I came home and tried to watch a video my mom lent me. Sadly, my DVR/Video player is not working, which sucks because I wanted to make my mom a DVD. Now what am I supposed to do? Can I even return it? I just got it this year.

Plans for tonight: Celebrating with the ONLY people who truly love me.... My Family. Love you family.

Oh yea. I used to keep a lot of journals. They used to start off by writing letters to guys. First Steven then David (they never saw these letters by the way), and then I got so tired of writing to guys that I started writing to myself. It was sort of what I was doing now only that I was the only one that would read them. I think I am going to put them down in here little by little. Some are really childish and some are pretty interesting. Anyway those are my thoughts.

Some notes: You should have returned the gift.

Late

The holidays are here. Christmas has come and go, and the new year is approaching. I'm not sure where things are going with me and my never-ending complicated love life.....but I do know that this Holiday break has been very restful.

It has been about a little more than a week and I have done a lot of sleeping. I feel rejuvenated and now I'm ready to go back.



My secret elf turned out to be the librarian. She did such a good job. She brought me a Dr. Pepper everyday with a little something extra. The final gift was bath stuff: beads, scrubs, bubble bath, even a relaxation cd. I listened to it while finishing my grades and lesson plans. I would like to note that the guitar teacher and I were practically the only ones who followed the rules on Wed. Most teachers went home early. Not us...nope nope. We were the good teachers. Okay, okay, so the last hour was spent watching Friends, but what else were we supposed to do?



Christmas day was fun. I saw almost all of my family. Some cousins from my mom's side got together later that evening and we played boardgames. We played Taboo, Cranium, CRL, and Scategories. They were so much fun. I'm glad I went.

I have been to the movies a couple of times. Each with different people. I think I should really go by myself if I'm going to see the ones I want to see. Hmmm. My significant other is going to have to accept that I love kid films.

I have been reading like crazy. I finished another Jodi Piccoult book, now I'm reading The Golden Compass. I saw the movie and loved it. There is so much controversy that surrounds the books that I want to read them and form my own opinion.

I have lots of liquor in my house that I have yet to even open. Sounds like a party is much needed!

Time does fly

I feel awful that I have not been writing. There has been so much going on in my life lately that I really don't even know where to begin. I can only hope that I can put more time into this later but here are the highlights so far.

I'm going to be cupid for Halloween. Ironic. I know. I have a pet mouse. His name is Houdini because he is an escape artist. There are only two more games left in the season. Then playoffs. Hopefully we don't go.

I had a birthday. It was filled with ups and downs but really it was too fast to put into words. We lost an officer that night. We were cut from the band show. Relief. I have a wedding I'm going to be apart of. Then I head off to London. Then Christmas.

I still read. Just finished a book yesterday.

I sat in an ambulance. Luckily it was not for me.

Some of the websites at work are now prohibited. This has helped immensely. That and the never ending work week.

Weekends are good. I love being a teacher, and I am proud to say I have only missed one day of school ( but it really didn't count because I was there anyway).

till we meet again.
