This has been a great week! My life is really rolling along and I'm becoming much better at simultaneously going with the flow as well as working towards goals. I've alway been good at the goal part, but letting things happen has been much more difficult. The last several months have been riddled with indecision, self-doubt, and anxiety. But, ( Read more... )

I found this perfect soy ice cream. I've always disliked soy ice cream because I can't stand the soy aftertaste. When I taste something soy for the first time, I'm very cautious and I get nervous that it'll have that aftertaste. For someone who has a milk allergy, I'm not a great fan of soy products. Don't like soy cheese, yuck. Don't really ( Read more... )

I still don't know about grad school and I'm starting to go bonkers.  I am having a difficult time restraining myself from calling up the school and asking again.  But, I know that that won't be terribly helpful.  I'm sure I'll know soon.

Babysitting is so much fun. Today we played at the park and out in the backyard.  Olivia is over her ( Read more... )

Why is it, that when I have lots of time, I do nothing. My shuttle kids are playing on Singer Island in Florida for Spring Break, so I'm not tied to stopping my activities from 3-5 4 days a week to drive them around. So, I had from 11 on and really, truly have not gotten much done. I've gone grocery shopping and to Target. But, I haven't done ( Read more... )

So, I'm enrolled in an online history course through Berkely. The hardest part of the course is the lack of deadlines. But, now, I have to have EVERYTHING done by April 7! Which means that I'm under pressure. So, I just finished the research paper and sent it in. Yay! Research paper done, although, in order to make it short enough, I had to 1.5 ( Read more... )

I am unemployed, as you know. Laid off from my social justice org...I am in the midst of the second week of freedom from work responsiblities. I have a babysitting offer that will employ me 12 hours a week, if I want it. But, I'm interviewing for a better one tomorrow. I'm interviewing to be an ACT tutor on Friday. And, this afternoon, I'm going ( Read more... )

Some kid with a bb gun shot my back driverside door window (the little one). Now, I'm going to have to pay for it ( Read more... )

Super Bowl bowling was so much fun! I love our silly traditions. It'll be so sad when everyone leaves me this year ( Read more... )

But I went through them already. I really want to borrow Marley and Me from one of the Smithies that lives 4 blocks away. Hopefully she's done and I can convince her to bring it with us when we go bowling on Sunday. Yes! We have a newly minted tradition from last year of going bowling during the super bowl. It's fun and we can watch the ( Read more... )

My life is more stable now, for those that knew that it was unstable...everything will be a ok ( Read more... )
