Everyone is freaking out in my class.  To the point that I'm speechless---I have no advice to offer.


You wouldn't think it would be this expensive to become a teacher.  Why is that?

I've never been more excited to finish a semester.

My mom aptly pointed out that we are reaching the 8 month mark for my program.  It has been a LONG 8 months.  I have turned into the "flake" friend--canceling plans last minute because of work, homework assignments, or overdue sleep.   For example, this past weekend I was supposed to go to the culinary festival on Saturday...then I realized I needed to babysit (that blaring overdraft fee in mind).  I reluctantly made a grown up decision to "earn" money instead of "spending" it.  My "grown up" choices are unnoticed by mother.  I ran into her room this afternoon, giddy with excitement about finding Missoni Acqua perfume on sale for 9.99 + shipping, she asked me about my "savings" plan instead.  Savings? Savings. Savings!  I know she is right..lately I have been indulging myself on my bargain finds on EBay.  I am a long way from the days when I would buy full price True Religions.  Sigh. 


I know the right decision for my birthday money is to deposit it all into my savings account....I will not  WILL deposit it tomorrow.

In other news, I am babysitting again tonight and we are going to make funfetti cupcakes.  Jamie, I know you're thrilled.   Then I need to come home and clean up my paper disaster from doing homework today.  I am so so so so so so so OVER the busy work.  December.....December...DECEMBER!!


I also have not heard back from the TEFL program to teach in Argentina, what's with that?  I guess I am going to have to pick up the phone.  I would like to know what I am doing with my life in January.

Allison is coming this Friday, I am so excited.  I want to go to Sedona, hike Pinnacle Peak and Camelback, shop for some outfits for my upcoming Boston trip, and have movie nights.  It'll be so nice to have her here---it's like Jamie and I were saying the other night, real friends are hard to come by.

Off to the adventures of babysitting.... happy Sunday :)

To me, you are beautiful.

Never be afraid to sit awhile and think. 

When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death - ourselves. 

You're never alone. 

Procrastinating....

Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.
