Date Night

Well, Saturday evening I had my first date in a while. And it was pretty fantastic. We went bowling, ate some dinner, then drove around and talked awhile, then went to a park and talked some more and kissed. *blush* I had a nice time and look forward to more dates in the future.

In other news, work has been going very well. I'm really enjoying my class and I have discovered in me that I truly love working with the little kids and teaching them. I think it's because I get to do a lot of singing and dancing all day long. :) And arts and crafts projects. :) FUN FUN FUN!

My parents are leaving for a conference in Colorado on Sunday and will be gone til the 3rd of October. I'm thinking this is going to give me a taste of what I desire, which is to be on my own again. I have saved up lots of money, and now that I have a stable job again, I think I am ready to begin that search again to find a place to rent. So, I'll have *that* fun on the horizon. I really would like to look at the place I had previously gotten ready to rent from. Although, I'm also keeping in the back of my mind that if things work out in this dating situation, I will then literally *still* be across town from him. :( So, I'm debating on if I should attempt finding something more central. But, I have time. My goal is to be on my way out by the end of this year... so I have about 3 months to see where things go and to decide what to do. In the meantime, I can continue saving up $$$. :) Always a good thing! Off to work I go now....hope everyone has a Terrific Tuesday!

Productive day & Update

Well, I have had a pretty productive day... :) I got the layers of cake baked for Conner's personal one for his 1st birthday party on Saturday (we're leaving tomorrow around 1:30)... I also got all the icing and colors made yesterday... I've gotten all my laundry done... I have very little left to do to be totally ready for everything... I just need to pack my overnight bag and do a clean of the litter box before I leave Mozart for the weekend... We'll be back Saturday evening... but still... I don't want to come back to a kickin' room!

Tomorrow after we get to my brother's house, I'll get everything ready to assemble Conner's cake. The icing has to come to room temp. and it has to go in the fridge a few times in between icing stages so crumbs won't be on the surface... then I'll decorate it with the colors (lime green and bright blue) and then put it in the fridge before Saturday (the party is from 10:30am-1pm).

Tonight I have to go get all the weights for the canopies that my brother is borrowing from my friend Daughn... and of course I'll visit with them a bit. Moving them went really fast this time... mostly because everything was pretty much boxed ahead of time... We started around 9:30am and had everything moved to the new house by 4pm. And we stopped several times for water breaks and lunch... it was REALLY hot that day... in fact Damian's sister got heat exhaustion or something!

Anyhow, I'm off to finish last bits of things and all and get some relaxation in...! I'll update after we return.
