Can this week be any more eventful?
I'd better watch what I say...
Sunday I don't recall doing a whole lot, but then... maybe I did and I don't remember? I don't know. It's kind of been a blur of a week. Oh I stayed home. I remember now. I did food shopping (Best day to do food shopping ever... Everyone was at BBQs. So the store was virtually empty.) Then afterwards I did some reading of my Shakespeare Sonnets. Later on, I developed a nasty headache and after I couldn't cure it with dinner and Advil, I decided to take a walk on the beach to get some air. Momentary cure, but not good for long term. I tried writing three separate poems, none of which I could finish. Tried journaling instead on the beach and that helped some I guess because I finally wrote something AND completed it. Always nice. Nothing grand, but at least I could finish. I came home and then my headache came back. Joy.
Monday I was going to just kind of read more sonnets but then Dave and Rob told me they were going to Point with Kayla and her parents, so I decided I'd go with them. Dave and I went to The Circus for lunch and I spilled soda on my skirt which would have been a bad thing but it turned out not to be. I insisted on going home to try my Tide pen to get it out or at least change. Dave said it was fine. I insisted it wasn't. So we went back to my house and I went inside and was nearly tackled by Emma-roo. She was so excited to see me she jumped up into my arms and curled herself up into me. She's so freaking cute. She wouldn't let go and so I asked Katie what they had planned for the day and could Roo come to Point with us. She said sure, so see? It all happned for a good reason!!! :-) Point was fantastic. I had a lot of fun with the girls and the guys. Went on just the Tilt-a-Whirl and did picture taking the rest of the time. Around 9 we headed down to see fireworks on the beach and then Caitlin and Michelle spotted hermit crabs and wanted to know if they could buy one for Roo. I said I'd have to check, but Katie said it was fine. So Emily got a hermit crab in addition to the mother load of prizes the boys won for her and Kayla. We were driving home and Roo was so exhausted she was chattering away and cracking herself up in the back seat. She was cracking herself up so much that Dave started laughing, not even knowing what the hell she was talking about anymore. Anyway, so we dropped her off and then I dropped Dave off at home. I wasn't quite ready to go home myself though, even though I should have, so made a decision to go to the beach. The water was warm, it was a gorgeous night... it was just awesome. I ended up texting Colin and telling him he should come down if he wanted to for a bit after finishing work. He said he would and so he met me later on. We walked for a good.. mile and half he thinks and God I just might be getting into trouble, lol. Suffice it to say it was a good night. I kind of got scared though and he just wrapped me up in his arms and promised me he wouldn't let me get hurt again like I did last time. He said that he's going to do everything he can to make me see that I can trust him and let this work. I said we'd see.
So... dinner with him on Friday before Stuck. Which at this point is just a formality, but I guess i kind of owe him considering he's been asking me out for about a month and I wouldn't give him an answer until just recently. So I'm not as nervous as I would have been, but things are looking good. We text every night and we've talked quite a bit about a lot of things. He loves Broadway and NYC and reading and Shakespeare plays (he loves Othello... I almost died) and uh... what else? I don't know... we just have a lot more in common than I would have thought. I was talking to Heather about it last night and she just kind of looked at me like "Uh huh..." but with a smile that was like "Oh you're in deep." lol. Maybe... Who knows?
Soooo... yeah. In-services began yesterday and they were.... blah. Of course. Then I went to help Kristen with her car situation which was just... a big mess but she got it worked out, thank goodness. We went to the mall so she could pick up clothes for work and I picked up two tops for work. After that I dropped her off at her house because I was meeting Heather at her place for 90210 and dinner, which I was reaaaaally excited about. I stopped and picked up strawberries, ice cream, and drinks and then went over. We talked for a while and watched the show, which, hoenstly I have mixed feelings about. It might need to grow on me. I'm not sure. It's confusing though and I was trying to remember why nothing was confusing when we were watching shows like that when I was younger. Just weird. But anyway the night was cut a bit short because I had to get home early enough to go to sleep and get up for more in-services. I hated leaving that early, but it's the real world. I hadn't slept much on Monday night because I kept waking up every hour paranoid that I'd overslept. Last night I had night terrors again, the usual kind with thinking someone's in the room, but I finally got over that, went in the bathroom to splash cold water on my face since I woke up in a cold sweat, and then went back to bed. Still overslept though. So bad. Barely made it to this morning's in-service on time, but finally did get there and it was really good. Lots of good ideas I'm excited about using, so it was a good morning. After that I went to lunch with Jen, Kathy, and Val and then over to Midtown to do classroom setup. On my way home I called my dad about my mom's birthday today. Found out she got a kitten. This kitten she was trying to get a few weeks ago, but the kitten ran away and they had to find her... I just figured it fell through. Apparently not. This was all news to me. I was shocked. So I got home, kind of worried about what a little kitten would be like after spending some time out in the wild being traumatized. But as soon as I picked her up she started purring like crazy. We tried putting her in her litter box, but she crawled right back up into my arms. She's so sweet. But she's freaked of course and it's just going to be a little rough with Missy and the adjustment. The dog hasn't been vicious at all or shown any signs of aggression, but she's excited and very curious and she just wants to sniff out this new addition and check her out, but the kitten doesn't understand of course and she freaks. So it's going to take some time. All the commotion must have really freaked her though because she took off at some point and is now hiding somewhere in the house. Rarg. As for a name, I suggested Gracie, lol. I like it and my mom likes it most out of everything we've talked about. That might be it, but I'm not sure. My other options were Shakespeare names... like Ophelia or something. But Ophelia didn't meet a good end, so probably not the best choice really.
Anyway... I have to read the rest of my sonnets because I have class after work tomorrow. Fun. Looking forward to the weekend though. :-D
