I never knew I could feel that much, and that's the way I loved you.

This was written yesterday, but my blog wasn't working so I couldn't post it...


1.  I made dough for pizza today! It was kind of an ordeal, to be honest.  I waited until Alice had eaten most of her quesadilla, then I started getting the ingredients together.  I couldn’t get the sea salt lid off, so I had to just grind it in my hand and put it in the teaspoon holder...it took forever and I got salf all over everything.  The bread flour exploded all over the floor, so I had to use a baby wipe to clean it up.  Alice pooped while I was in the middle of getting the ingredients together in the bread pan.  Then I pushed the wrong button the bread machine and it wouldn’t work.  :( I break machines.  It’s bad.  So I just had to knead the bread myself-which I have never done before.  Alice was upset about this, because Kelly left her to study and I couldn’t pick her up.  Wow.

2. Kelly made the pizza though.  It was delicious! She added garlic to it, and we had barbeque and alfredo pizza.  :) I had about 5 pieces (they were small though...smaller than CiCi’s slices) they were so yummy. I told her if she ever drops out of med school, she can open up a pizza shop.  I’d eat there lots.  

3. I realized today I’m a very paranoid person.  I’m planning a bachelorette party for Amanda, and I decided to get a hotel room...well I was planning on getting 2 because we have 6 girls coming.  She was like “Just get one, they won’t even know...” but I told her I was scared.  I don’t want to get caught or yelled at! It’s a fear of mine.  Butttt I’m going to just bite the bullet and get one room.  Also, Kelly asked if I had prime shipping for Amazon since I have a student email.  I told her I was going to do it, but since I’m not a student anymore I felt guilty signing up.  I’m also terrified I’d get caught for fraud.  Does anyone else think like this? I’m paranoid.  Note: I did sign up today for Prime shipping.  It’s awesome.  I’m researching Alice books to buy at this moment, and I have a surprise for my mom (for mother’s day, i’m a bad daughter) in my cart. :)

4. It’s my niece’s birthday tomorrow! She’ll be 2.  I bought her a card today! Of course I will post a tribute on here tomorrow. :)

5. Alice and I have been on a 1.25 mile walk 3 days this week! Even though it’s abnormally hot and humid, I still managed.  I went around 9:15 this morning, before it became unbearable.  Ugh.  It was still sticky and muggy, but it wasn’t terrible.  

6. I’m off for 2 weeks starting tomorrow afternoon! This is exciting because I REALLY need to get job stuff done, and I have the bachelorette party and wedding to attend.  Plus I miss my friends and Rachel will be back in town. 

7. Saturday I’m going to graduation with Savannah.  Kelliott and Alice will be there as well.  Amanda and Ron are graduating! I love graduations...even though they are long and sometimes boring.  I love getting dressed up too, unless I feel really fat.

8. I’ve been nostalgic about how I haven’t taught in almost 5 months.  :( I miss my students.  I am a teacher at heart, and I need to be teaching children. I love watching Alice and taking care of a little one, but I know that I’m meant to be teaching children.  It’s what I’m passionate about, I love spending time planning activities that I think they will love, I can’t wait until I have my own group of students to work with daily or an entire classroom of my own students and I will worry about them, encourage them, tell them they are wonderful, teach them manners and facts and observations and how to be a good citizen, and they will then leave me to go on to have a bright future.  Ugh, I want to be in a school so badly.

9. The store where I worked for FIVE YEARS is closing.  It might already be closed, I’m not sure.  :( It is so depressing.  I had great coworkers who are know my friends (Sweaty Todd and Cory, and Maddie and Parker even though I was friends with them before DZ), I had awful coworkers who I gossiped about, and I had many good moments while there.  I also had BAD moments with customers, times where I couldn’t unload merchandise, times where I really just wanted to quit, but I loved it too.  I loved inside jokes with my coworkers, how JD hated glitter and we’d buy him cards and put glitter inside, the pimp canes we always got in, the ridiculous merchandise that no one in their right mind would buy and we’d giggled when someone DID buy it, the weird Tong Dance that Parker did to Gettin’ Jiggy With It, and how every time it would storm Cory and I would be working and the lights would go out.  I had crushes, I worried that others had crushes on me (not recipracated), and I grew up a lot there.  It was my first real job, because babysitting is a job but wasn’t regular.  It was a great experience, overall.  I will always miss that place.  The people were interesting, and hilarious, and some of them were awesome.




Today:


I had a nice visit with Rachel this morning :) I got exciting news that I'll share later...I'm very happy about it.


I used my mom's Zumba Wii game this evening....about 30 minutes on the beginner level. :) It was TOUGH.  It was also fun, and I think I'm gonna be VERY sore tomorrow.  I plan on doing it at least 20 minutes a day...it should be a good workout and I just want to get a bit fitter.  It is almost bathing suit season, and the wedding is so soon!


I booked the hotel room for next Friday! I am getting pretty pumped about next weekend...I am still nervous about the speech though.  Eeeeek.
