hello

so this thing still exists. who knows if any of you lovelies still read it, lord knows i wouldn't. but in case you do, here's a mini update on the life of me.

work - only four days of children left. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. i love my babies but i am very ready for a break from them. i have had my fill of drama and fights and disrespect for now at least. i do have a funny quote from a child though. he was working on a character analysis assignment and he was getting stuck. sooo, i told him that we'd channel the character, edward, together. before i could do that, i had to deal with some other child issues and he began to get tired of waiting. he came up to me and said, "miss, when are we going to go to the edward channel?" it made my heart warm and i laughed in his face. don't worry, he's 12, he wasn't offended.

not work - there's stuff happening in my social life, but i don't want to jinx it so i will only say that it is fabulously wonderful.

i'm getting the traveling bug. my father said he would give my sister and i each $400 to go to either paris or rome. we vote rome, but it's probably a very long way away because i have to save the other $405,366 it costs to travel abroad. ALSO, this summer i'm supposed to go to ecuador with the lovely roommate. this will also be expensive seeing that we want to go to galapagos and swim with the turtles. it makes me giddy just thinking about it. AND, before then i want to go somewhere fun for spring break. like chicago or seattle or portland or san francisco. this also costs money, so we shall see. perhaps i need to check in to getting a patron to fun all of my travel dreams.

i head back to the lbk on friday and i'm very ready to see the family. oklahoma and a wine exchange are in the cards. keeping my fingers crossed for a white christmas. hope you all get goodness from santa.
