Argh, I can't believe how old I am. 31? I don't feel 31, I feel about 25, and look about 20, but whatever. I guess age isn't anything but a number (or as a non-English teacher would say "age ain't nothin' but a number) - so I am not going to worry about it right now...
School has been good so far. I spent my first full day at Corcoran HS yesterday and met a lot of my students. They are an interesting lot of kids, and I'm looking forward to teaching them in a week or so. I'm kind of nervoous too as there is not too much direction as to what I am supposed to be doing, but I'll figure it out somehow.
I am really looking forward to this weekend. We're going to stay with the 'rents and tomorrow we're going to see Tarzan and eat dinner at Marseille on 9th Avenue. Marseille is one of our favorite restaurants in the city, when we both worked there we used to meet up for drinks in their super swank bar. There was an awesome bartender there who made the best Appletinis. I'm definitely having one tomorrow night, or maybe even some Champagne. We'll see.
Turns out Aimee from LOFT is also going to be in the city this weekend, so maybe I'll meet up with her and some other folks for some more fun times. I know DAS wanted to see some of his friends from Liberty, so that'll work out nicely.
I guess I really am pretty boring as I have been looking forward to this one weekend for the past two months. It is something that has bolstered my spirits when they've been down and just basically kept me knowing that even though some times can be tough, there are always good things to look forward to. That and of course my dear Xena.
Yep, my best friend besides DAS truly is a dog. What can I say? She doesn't yell at me, talk back to me, or ever let me down. She is always there with a smile on her face - and somehow she can always cheer me up when I'm stressed or otherwise out of sorts. I guess I am too much of a straightforward person. I like to know how it is upfront and I really dislike when people play games - that is completely unnecessary. Most people are all about the game-playing so my MO doesn't really fit in with theirs. What can I say? I believe in just being honest and trying to be true to myself and others - I guess that is my motto. So far it has worked out ok.
Oh, I read a pretty good book last week Riding Lessons - by Sara Gruen. It is not a difficult read, but the characters are well-developed and it is all about a woman who used to be a world-class rider who has to come back to her family's farm when her father becomes ill (and the rest of her life starts falling apart), and the changes which take place in her life and her daughter's life. Nicely done, Sara Gruen! She has sequel called Flying Changes which I would like to read at some point too.
Yep, so that is me. Honestly.
