Update... maybe?
If you want to know about how the training went, head over to teach-a-holic and read about it there.
Friday after the training I headed straight to Simi to see Daniel. We went to dinner at Red Robins and walked around Simi's Town Center for a while. We also walked through the Farmers Market that they have there every Friday. It wasn't too interesting, but there was a Democratic booth set up there. They had Obama bumper stickers and pins. I asked how much they cost and they were free, so I took one of each. Before I put the sticker on my car I made sure it was okay with Mike - since he'll get the car back eventually. He said they can be taken off, so I went ahead and stuck it on. Obama wasn't my first choice, Hilary was, but there is no way I would vote for McCain, so Obama is the only reasonable (electable) choice left.
After there we went to the bowling alley. Daniel is a big fan of bowling and he has friends who work at the bowling alley so he ends up bowling for free (although he plays for money). He played against "Tim". He only lost $10 (and won one game). I had a drink (Malibu Sunrise I think it's called) and watched them play. At 9 it was time to leave. Daniel was asking me if he could stay for another game - but I told him - he had to be up at 4:30 the next morning, it was best if he went home and to bed. He finally agreed and we left.
Saturday I went to Big Lots! with the fam and got a few things. There was a 10% off extra for teachers - so I figured why not, their prices are low anyway. After there we took Mom, Evil One, and Nikki to Fallbrooke and I went to Albertson's with daddy. After I came home I called Daniel and at 4 or so I went over to him. We went to T.O. and to Build-A-Bear. He got me a little bear. Very cute. We also stopped at Jamba before heading to his friend (Aurora)'s house for a BBQ. He baked a Lemon Tart which I wasn't looking forward to because I'm not a big fan of lemon in general. My dad always buys lemon pies and I never even take a bite. But the one he made... mmmmmm! It was delicious! I really enjoyed it. I had two pieces. He also made whipped cream to put on top of the tart - OMG! That was the most delicious cream EVER! The BBQ itself was good too. Steaks on the grill and corn on the cob on the girl. Then tortillas with rice and some onion and cilantro. Very good.
We left there at 9ish. We went to the bowling alley and bowled - just Daniel and me. I sucked - we played to games... 87 on the first, 68 on the second. But I got 3 strikes! Woohoo! After that we just went back to his place (where my car was) and we then parted ways. Well, we made out a bit in the car, first. He had to get up 6 this morning to go to work. He works for another hour or so. He's then going to go home and rest. He's going to make more lemon tarts from what I understand and also make another desert for me. A white chocolate ganache (or something like that). So I'll go see him this afternoon/evening as well.
I've had doubts, as you all know, about him. About us. But after the past couple of days I've been feeling pretty good. I need to give it all a fair shot. So now, that's what I'm doing.
As far as today - I went with David and Nikki to Stoney Peak. We walked around the whole thing. It was quite nice. At first Nikki was hesitant. She wasn't into walking and wanted "upa". She wanted to go home, etc. But luckily she got over that and we went around the whole thing pretty well. I was proud of her. It was hot, though. Afterward David, I think, took her to the pool and I've been hanging out in bed watching movies. Nikki should be coming back over in a little while, though.
I might be moving the teacher blog to my own domain at some point. I need to find someone to design a layout for me - and then I can move it. I'll use my brother-in-law's server for it. Easy peasy. Livejournal disappointed me in what I've been reading. I might, at one point, move this journal too, depending on how they decide to change the "basic" account - which is what I have. In which case I'll have to go ahead and start up what I was doing before and copy & pasting my entire journal, all 6 years, onto a word document and print them out. I've been meaning to do that for a long time but it's a tedious job and I always quit after a while. It tires out the fingers, for sure. Maybe tomorrow or even later today, I can get started.
I need to take a shower and get the grime off of me.
Alright, for now I think that's all I have to say. I must say that I am proud of myself for writing all this out. It has taken me over half an hour, though.
