My cousin Amanda had a heart attack and died last night.  She was only 23... just was there one minute and not the next.  I can't even wrap my head around it.

Off to work the Taste of Buffalo for the rest of my weekend.  What is going on with this world?

It's late, I just got home and I go into the bathroom to discover some workmannish person was here today and left muddy boot prints all over the floor including on my pajama shirt that was on the floor.  WTF?  I am so pissed that even though I am tired I can't sleep.  What rude bullshit.  I have no problem with people coming in if they have ( Read more... )

I've been so exhausted this week.  I hope I am not getting sick again.  I have been having to drag my ass out of bed and HOUR later than I usually get up and still feeling like crap all day, while hardly making it to work on time.  Not sure I can cut it much closer than I've been cutting it.  We've been doing PARP stuff all week, which is really ( Read more... )

So this is what a February break feels like.  Not too bad, though I kind of like the two weeks in April better.  I am having a deliciously lazy break.  I've been spending a lot of time at Andres's reading or playing Rock Band.  Last night I cooked dinner as a surprise when he came home from work and it was pretty yummy.  My brother turned 21, so we ( Read more... )

 Today one of my students discovered Morse code and wrote me notes in code all day.  It was cute, but I think it will get old pretty quickly if she doesn't get sick of it soon ( Read more... )

 My God, I was just productive.  My wind-day off from school has been fantastic so far.  I got the call at 5:45 this morning, which was good because there wasn't any waiting, anxiety or guessing.  I was too excited to sleep, so I talked to an texted some others in my same boat for awhile and finally went back to sleep around  6:30.  Slept til ( Read more... )

I got pretty roses tonight.... except I forgot about the thorns when I was taking the old ones out of the vase and putting the new ones in, ouch ( Read more... )

So next week will be the one year anniversary with Andres.  Is it too middle schoolish to celebrate?  I am worried about it because I don't know what to do/if I should buy him something.  He always seems to go either totally over the top with gifts.... but then again maybe this isn't a gift giving occasion?  I don't want to be trapped in the gift- ( Read more... )

Ironically, my cell phone seems to be broken (I was just telling Alexis how long it has lasted on the way home from work.)  If you want to get ahold of me this weekend, call my boyfriend at 225-9932... oye.

1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Taught the same gradesubject two years in a row, got an apartment, went to California

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for this year?
Let me check... last year's entry doesn't seem to have any resolutions.  Maybe I should make some for this year... I'd start ( Read more... )
