I'm trying to get back to posting my Bristol adventures. So I'm attempting to pick up where I left off.

Saturday, July 20, Day 5
• Went to the Duck for a muffin where I saw the Dracos & reminded Zula of our talk from Sunday night’s dinner.  She sent over the lead Draco and when I told him, he looked like Christmas and his birthday came early• I ( Read more... )

Yesterday while filling my parents' stockings, I noticed a familiar sized package in my stocking. It was the size of a small envelope, the kind you put play tickets in. I stood there for a long moment, wracking my brain as to what play we would possibly be going to. Off hand there was nothing that I really, really wanted to see, so what on earth ( Read more... )

Out of pure curiosity, I checked out www.noradsanta.org and it's pretty cool. It updates every five minutes with where Santa is. When I checked ten minutes ago, he was in Enderby Land, Antartic. Now, he's in Mahajanga, Madagascar. And there are little videos of where Santa's been, including the International Space Station. That made me ( Read more... )

Today's been so irritating. I spent all day trying to make these Christmas tree shaped cupcakes from one of Martha Stewart's magazines. For a day's worth of work I've got eight cupcakes. Only eight. And they're small, pathetic looking, and generally unappealing looking. I know that when they're covered with icing they wouldn't look so bad, but ( Read more... )

I just had the worst cookie making session I've ever had. I really wanted to make Russian Tea Balls. So Mom and I did. Making the cookies was fine. But rolling them in the powdered sugar proved to be quite dangerous. I burned my arm on the cookie sheet, hit my head on the range hood, then choked on my sample cookie and burned my throat on it ( Read more... )

Enchanted was fantastic! I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at a movie. One of my favorite lines was about Giselle trying to find a place to sleep. She said, "Perhaps with some dwarves, they tend to be very hospitible." Mom and I started laughing so hard it started to hurt. The whole story was something I so wish I had written. ( Read more... )

Honestly, today sucked, a lot. Basically, the great job that I'd be getting full pay for is not going to happen as I thought it would. The government got involved and I'm "not qualified" for the job because though it's a drama position, it's labeled with the government as a reading position and I am not certified to teach reading. So I have to ( Read more... )

Mom and I went to the zoo today and we had a blast. There was a black leopard that kept following me back and forth across it's cage. It was really kind of creepy. I got video of it following me and if I can find out how, I'll put up video here, but right now I've no idea how to do so. So Mom and I stayed there, watching it watch me for almost ( Read more... )

It's been a good day. Aside from Dad finding my dowels, I got a job. I'll be teaching at a public school during a woman's maternity leave. I laugh because I vowed never to set foot inside a public school if I was teaching ever again. And yet, my first sort of real teaching job is in a public school. Ironic. But in all honesty, I am so happy ( Read more... )
