I've gotten a lot of nephew time the past couple days. He stayed with me Saturday night, because my sister and her husband had a dinner to go to. Tonight, he's staying with me, because Kimmie needs to be in Everett at 6am tomorrow, however his daycare doesn't open til 6am... there's a problem there. So, to be nice to me, she asked if he could just stay with me instead of waking me up at 5:30 in the morning. Logic. :)

I made the mistake of taking him past the toy section in Target tonight... and well, he was long over due for his bed time. We did get through it, but it was traumatic for him. He got Thomas the Tank Engine car out of it. Hey, I'm his Auntie, I'm suppose to spoil him. :)

He's stinkin cute.

I'm back from vacation and having a bit of a hard time. I kind of feel like I've miss a lot while I was gone. I'm not sure why. Things are just the same as they were before I left...

I've emailed a couple people about some though stuff and haven't heard back. It's so hard to wait, especially when you don't know how they will respond, or if they will respond.

I'm also having a hard time with feeling like an outsider with the church group I've joined. I don't know how to establish myself. I've also lost some contact with some really good friends, and rekindling a friendship has been hard and awkward... which makes me believe that I'm to one who let the friendship down.

I guess I need to spend more time with God, and keep working on defining myself in Him. I'm actually going to bed now.

I just read this book over my trip to DL. There was one quote in it that stood out to me.

"Hatred seemed... to be the product of ignorance."

What do you all this about this quote?

Sorry it's kinda blurry.

Our new friends

"We're off to see Mickey the wonderful mouse of all"



"I'm off to see Goofy, the wonderful dog of all"


"We're off to go to Knotts, to visit our friend Snoopy"

One day and counting

HI HO, HI HO is off to Disneyland I go.
To see Denise and play all day,
HI HO, HI HO, HI HO, HI HO

So, Disneyland doesn't quite fit, but whatever. It is a clever song.

Disney Dork

I'm still alive...

Work's been super crazy... I haven't really had a life outside of it.

Going to Disneyland with my best, good friend Denise in a couple weeks! We both need this vacation.

Sprained my ankle real bad... at my bosses house... on valentines day... because my friend left her phone in the house. It's actually pretty amusing... after the fact. I'm still needing to take drugs and wear a brace. This won't take away from me the joy of my up coming trip. I'll be with Denise, and that's what really matters. :)

My hot date with Erin

I came home from work and we wanted to do something. We couldn't decide what to do, so I suggested we just drive some where and see where we end up. Entrance in a deep conversation about boys, she subconsciously pulled in the parking lot of QFC in the U-village... I live in Shoreline (north seattle). We don't know why... but bought cookies and came back to my place for some hot drinks. What an outing!

My geometry students have midterms this week. Geometry is NOT my best math subject. Too much memorization. Not enough numbers/variables. I'm an algebra girl. Too bad I'm the only tutor who can even attempt tutoring geometry... wish me luck because I'm going to need A LOT of it.

I'm extremely pissed off right now. I've just started a puzzle and it's a puzzle that doesn't hold together very well until you get more pieces to it. Well, my cat decided to get up on the table and ran over my puzzle. The pieces are all over the floor. I've started this puzzle over about 4 times now. She is now in the bathroom, possible for the night.

I'm lonely... but Erin is moving back next weekend, so that should help some. :)

I've been having headaches... they probably have to do with stress. I'm not sure why things are so stressful. I guess I have difficult students and a long list of things to do at work with not enough time/hours to get it all done in. Could all of that be the cause?

So... one way to get you to clean your kitchen is to spray grape juice all over it. While it gave me a work out, I do not recommend it. My floor is still sticky, even after I've moped it down like 10 times.

And the world might be ending... I bought a pair of jeans...

I don't know how many days later...

I'm sitting at work right now, so I can't type too much. Tutoring starts in about 45 minutes, which I'm excited about. Have I mentioned that I love my job? The awesome part is my students love me. I received generous gifts from a few of my students. I also receive gifts from Keith and Nancy, Beka, and Carol! It's nice to know that I'm doing a good job.

Such a big difference from last year! Holy Elephant! (I'm tired of cow)

I will get to the craziness of the holidays later. Oh boy.
