brain explosion
Life is chuggin' along.
I'm more than 2 weeks dry, which has been nice. Really don't have much of a desire to have anything to drink. I am going to some french restaurant in the city this Saturday with a gaggle of my coworkers, so I'll inevitably have some wine...and that's ok. My drinking habits are changed for good, and I'm thankful for that. I'm excited for this night out, though. I honestly love most of my coworkers, so spending time with them is something I look forward to. We have a ton of fun together and laugh so much. Plus, I'm happy to finally have a reason to wear the hot dress that's been waiting in my closet!
Met with my lawyer tonight. I feel very well represented and he's a real good guy. Let's see how things pan out from here... I'm just trying to be as positive as possible. This entire situation has been a definite learning experience for me. I know it sounds totally lame, but it's true. It's made me reconsider portions of my life and focus on the important things. I still can't believe just how amazing my parents have been. My dad and I are so alike it kills me, sometimes.
Moving to Hayward has been a blessing in disguise on a variety of levels. Living alone is definitely where I need to be right now. I love having guests over and have been cooking a bunch. Plus, Val's and Ribs N Things are both right down the street! Tessa and I are known by name at the latter already! Seriously, come hang out and eat soul food with me. SO GOOD! Love me some Sheila and Lucy...and peach cobbler mmmm! Tessa and I also checked out the produce market down the way and I love it! It makes buying fruits and veggies more fun somehow. With my license being suspended for at least a month, it also helps to be a hop away from my parents and from work. I'm pondering the idea of getting a bike and cycling across town to school. I'm all for getting in some exercise, but I have this vision of myself flying over the handlebars and into the street. No one needs to see: "Stanton Teacher Gets Run Over" in the CV Forum. HAHA! I still need to get things up on the wall and find a bookshelf...but otherwise i love, love, love my place!
Things with homeboy are goin'. I don't exactly know HOW they are going...but they're going nonetheless. It doesn't help that he lives in San Jose and works in Santa Cruz. Makes it hard to get together during the week, and he was out of town this past weekend. Eh. I dunno, really. I'm not stressing, though, and that's always good. His random adorable text messages make my morning everyday and it's nice to have someone interested in and thinking of me. Wednesday we're supposed to watch n.o.t.o.r.i.o.u.s. (lolz, i know) and roll a bleezy. I'm looking forward to cuddling on the couch. And anxious to see how much of the movie we actually watch this time heheh
Wow. I have not written this much in any capacity in quite awhile. It's comforting.
Work is running my life this week with musical rehearsals, staff meetings, a presentation on 4th/5th grade writing at our parent academy, response to literature rubric meeting...I should be paid by the fucking hour! My kids are awesome as much as they kill me sometimes. One of my kids has recently started listening to Weezer, so I put some on a CD that we listened to today and it's SO cute to see him love it so much and sing "Say It Ain't So" with me. Only in Ms. Jones' class would you get to listen to lil wayne, weezer, and miley cyrus remixes.
Baby Aili will be here in no time! I'm so glad they're just 5 minutes away so I can go be auntie Katie whenever I want!
Okay, I'm hungry so my fatass will end it here.
