I new job opportunity has arisen and it will more then likely change my career as I know it.  I am applying for a program manager job with the alternative certification program that I currently work for.  If I get the job, I will have to leave my full time job which is teaching 5th grade.  It will be the end of my teaching career - or at least ( Read more... )

 What really pisses you off?

1. people that dont use their turn signal - or use it too late
2.  bad spelling
3.  ice chewing (in my ear)
4. when you cant find the pair to something - a shoe, a sock, an earring ...
5.  cheating (on a test, on a partner)

feel free to vent and add your own! - Come on - It's FRIDAY!

Last night I was watching Step up and Dance.  I really like this show.  The genre for last night's show was hip hop and they were having a street battle.  These dancers really need to be trainined in a varitey of dance as the genre changes every episode.

You know what really bugs me ... When I am watching a show like this and they are right about to ( Read more... )

More ink - I sat for a couple of hours on Friday night to add to my back piece.  We ended up getting the peony filled in and finished off the rest of the cherry blossoms.  I have a total of 21 hours in and Danny says that I will need about 15 more (a lot less than I thought).  I still have not started the outline on my ass and or my shoulders.  My ( Read more... )

Although I am totally in ( Read more... )

Ray finally arrived to the desert that is El Paso on Saturday.  It didn't take long to continue our relationship where we left off a month ago in San Diego.  We stopped by my parent's house so that Ray could meet my dad again.  He met him when we dated in high school about 13 years ago.  He had already met my mom during his last visit in December ( Read more... )

I am having a horrible day and I just need to get it out in writing, so bear with me...

Today, I had another teacher come in and tell me how disrespectful my class was being during library time.  They wouldn't line up and wouldn't listen to her directions.  Several boys were talking while the librarian was giving a presentation.  They were clearly ( Read more... )

As you know, I was in sexy San Diego this weekend, visiting my amazing boyfriend.  Just wanted to update you on what we did and how it went.

Friday - I arrived early and was so excited to give Ray his Valentine's Day gift - a red camera - how fitting!  He immediately started taking pictures of me, which got me very embarassed.  We ate Panda - which ( Read more... )

Just wanted to thank the amazingly sweet Ray, always beautiful Kels and her hilarious hubby Steve, dashing Erika and the rest for joining me for a little sushi and great conversation last night.  I am really glad to see you guys and it is awesome that I am cared for and loved by so many.

As for my wonderful Ray - we still have the weekend to enjoy ( Read more... )
