HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Yes, yes... I'm now 29. Woo.... Hoo....

:) It's not like having birthdays when you're little... getting older is not really very fun, ya know?! Anyhow, dinner with my parents tonight... then tomorrow moving classrooms. Saturday pedicures/dinner with Jamey... Sunday dinner and a movie with Coopa Scoopa and Burd. :) I'm lucky to have wonderful people in my life!

Being up late inspires me, I guess

It inspires me to actually keep up with my blog. And to blog about how I have no earthly idea how exactly I'm going to get back on schedule with my sleeping patterns. As of late, I have been up til about 2-4am and waking up anywhere between 7:30-noon. Yeah, you read that right... NOON. And sometimes when I have those days in which I wake up at 7:30, I go back to sleep til at least 10am. :)

This will not be very easy to break in a couple weeks. Really I need to break it TOMORROW, because I technically should try to get up to the school and move stuff from one room to the other. But when I spoke to the Head Custodian last week, he said he'd still be working in our hallway this week. So I'm going off that... maybe I'll go on Friday afternoon for a bit and move as much as I can. Then next week I can go up day by day and move things a little at a time, and then FINALLY start organizing and decorating. I've been working on things at home in the meantime. I need to go to Walmart tomorrow. Again. I need pencil pouches for 3 ring binders. :)

Let's talk about how I was super bored tonight because I lacked the entertainment of my texting buddy. :( It was quite sad. He's away on business right now, but he also was not feeling well this evening... and so I told him to go to bed and quit attempting to have a conversation with me when he clearly did not feel well. Bless him for trying, though. I also may have underestimated the way things are going between us. Yes, I'm speaking of the match I made on web dating. The one that I really and truly thought was not really very interested in me as more than a friend. However, when I was talking to him last night whilst we were watching 27 Dresses (it was on FX) they had a commercial for the site which matched us, and he said something about, "yay for being a percentage statistic and building a lasting relationship!" Hmmm... something to ponder. Maybe he's just being very thorough. Which I kinda knew from the get-go. And maybe the incident which occurred before made him realize that it's better to trust what's already going on rather than being 'linked' to someone by a friend. Sometimes those websites actually know what they're doing. I don't know. It all doesn't really matter anyway because I have prayed about all this, and I've placed it in God's hands. I know that He has a plan for me, and that things will happen as they should... when it's the right season for it. :) I honestly have a lot on my plate right now... so it's probably good that it's moving semi-slow. But again, we'll see in time what is in store for me.

Lastly... I think I'm off to bed... it's almost 1... it's time to start attempting sleep!

I'm a Terrible Liar

This is my conclusion upon realizing my last post was PRE-Eclipse with the promise to give an update the following day... which clearly I didn't do. HAHA I've seen it again since then, also... on the IMAX screen... 72 Feet of Edward-yumminess! It was fantastic... and the fighting/sparring scenes were FANTABULOUS!!!

In other news I've begun getting things ready for the school year...! I am going to start making some lanyards for a couple people at work ;) Also, I still have not completely decided on what to do with the whole curtain thing in my classroom... I think I may just BUY curtains... I don't think I have enough fabric left for curtains... I'll use that fabric for something else... not sure yet... but something. I also need to purchase a couple twin size sheets in fun colors (should be easy with all the dorm/college stuff out now) for bulletin boards! And I plan on getting myself to Lakeshore at some point too... Walmart will be my friend soon... I'm going to get some extra supplies for class and I'm making M.O.N.K.E.Y. books for each of my students as a take-home folder system. I really want to splurge and get a box system so that each of my students has a box to pick up their handouts from like HW and school papers, etc. SOOOO many ideas.

Also, my birthday is in a couple weeks... :) I'll be 29 on the 29th. Exciting... AND, for my birthday my parents got me the best present ever... I had been looking to buy a new bicycle and found one... I was going to pay for it myself, but my mom said they wanted to do that for my birthday. No cost to me... and I'm so excited to get out there and ride around! :)
