At this moment

so.  i work a lot.  it seems like all i do is work or prepare for work.  i keep trying to decide if next year will be easier.  i wont be faculty rep.  i'll be used to the "beginning."  but there are bound to be new problems, right?  i had decided to not pursue the ph.d. option.  now i'm thinking about it again.  what do i want?????  i have no idea.  right now, at this moment, it's 8:30pm and i'm ready for bed.  i'm happy with the idea of being in bed before 9pm.  i crave that moment of wriggling between the sheets.  warm, cozy, tucked away from the fan drafts.  ah.  sleep.  one phone call and i'm giving in for another day.

Starting another week at work

What to say?  I stayed at work until 5:30 when I try to leave by 4...  It's begun again!  So much work and so little time.  I have to give a presentation about the library 5 times in a row tomorrow.  Do we remember anything about me and public speaking?  Strangely enough, I feel vaguely comfortable.  Is that the weirdest part or what?

I don't like to blog about things that really bother me, but then again, I can't say I'm hugely bothered by this.  Again, what happened to my personality?  Where have I gone and when will I return?  lol.  I heard today that the guy I was soooo hung up on got married and moved to another state.  I ask myself, short and to the point, "What the hell were you thinking?  Why did you fall for him?"  I don't think those are questions I will ever be able to answer.  I don't know why I fell for him.  I can honestly say I've never truly fallen for anyone else ever.  Wow, that makes me, like, the coldest fish ever!!  I've spent too much of my life maintaining distance and it's hard to see my actions/reactions and change them.  In retrospect, I wouldn't change it.  He was definitely an interesting character.  And, obviously, God has something else in mind.    Something cute, Godly, intelligent, fascinating, adventuresome, kind, strong, and dear.  He'll be worth the wait, you'll see.

In other news, work is fun and interesting.  I like being the faculty rep.  I like that I'm the junior representative in charge of junior prom (in essence, I hold the reins and the cattle prod for the junior class prom).  Life is good.

work tomorrow

Tomorrow is my first day back at work.  A whole summer of freedom is over and gone.  We have a new crop of teachers...new faces to recogize and new personalities to learn.  We'll have a new crop of students to enjoy...

All of that means I should definitely be asleep right now!!  But, I lost my keys.  yes, all of the keys I'm supposed to have for work.  The only place I haven't looked yet, besides where they are, of course, is in my truck, where I definitely remember seeing them.  My truck is in Port Aransas.  I'm not.  So.  I am so going to say I left my keys on the counter at home until I can ascertain if anyone in my family has seen the pile!!  And there are so many keys to lose.  I had about 7 or 8 keys on a lanyard with a set of winnie-the-pooh characters.  I don't want to admit to the new keeper of the keys that the former keeper of the keys let me have keys which I promptly lost.  argh.  lol.

Wish me luck!!

Tag!

The rules are: People who are tagged start by thinking about 7 random facts/habits about themselves. Each player then must write about those seven things on their blog, as well as include these rules. Players then need to choose 7 people to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave each person a comment telling them they’ve been tagged.

I choose not to tag anyone, because I can't retag everyone!  :)

Little Known Facts:

1.  I miss being in school and learning.  I am frightened about applying to UT, because I want it.  I hate putting myself out there like that.  What if they say no?  Ah well, you know I'm applying and I'll be morose and silent until they respond. lol.

2.  I'm planning on going to China next year.  Some friends just moved there and I intend to visit.  I used to think that if I just went somewhere, anywhere, I'd be cured of this raging ache to see everything.  Didn't happen.  I want to go to China so bad!!  I'm excited already.

3.  If you had asked me 10 years ago if I'd be 28 and childless, I would have thought you were crazy.  But, I am and that's that.

4.  I've discovered an odd addiction to vampire novels.  I started reading them to check up on the kids and make sure they weren't reading anything bad.  Now I catch myself staying up til 3am, because I can't put the dratted thing down!!

5.  I feel better when I eat right.  Right as in organic, non-high fructose corn syrup, cooked veggies, very little meat... So, I'm going to jump on the wagon again and see if I can do it. :)  Clean food is hard to find.  Bad food is easy to find.

6.  I'm really poor at sewing, but I'm going to try to make a dress and re-cover a chair this summer.  You should always expand your knowledge base.

7.  The only science that has ever interested me is Alton Brown's Good Eats.  Why wasn't I taught science through the art of cooking?  I would have gotten it!!  :)

Hope I did well and you learned something you didn't want to know about me.  hahaha.

Yeah.
