Still just as sleepy as ever
I think maybe my school makes me sleepy...just being within a quarter of a mile I start to get drowsy. :)
Work was fantastic today! Everyday that I go there I am reminded of how good I have it this year: I have the best class, I have the best parrents, I have the best coworkers, I have a new room, I have already taught this curriculum once so I have some
general idea of where I want to go with it, and I just love my job. Life is just going so smoothly thus far and I am so thankful.
I feel like I should be overflowing with "stuff" to write about because I am so happy. But in actuality I am findinf it much more difficult to write anything, because I am happy. I think that I have developed some sort of connection between writing and emotional therapy or something. That and the fact that I am discouraged that I have lost all of my recent works due to my computer eating it! Stupid computer! Anyhow know that all is well and that I should continue to type loads of mumble jumble even if I have nothing to say.
Wandering
I like to wander from blog to blog. Mostly from friends' blogs to "their" friends' blogs. Today, my roommate mentioned that she got an e-mail from one of her "back-home-friends" who said that she enjoyed my blog. *shock* you mean people read this thing!?! ;) What I enjoyed most about that mentioning is that I have been reading her blog too...and quite enjoying getting to know her and her brand new little angel. So we are "blog buddies" that share a real-in-the-flesh-friend...its cool. Just thought it was worth blogging about. Because it meant something to me to know that I am not the only one that gets surprises in life. And I am not the only one that hopes and dreams. Thanks blog buddy! I pray for you.
New Class
The new school year has started. I love my new class. They are just simply awesome! I swear that someone hand picked this class just for me. I am crazy about them. They are so funny, and enthusiastic, they are storrytellers, and dreamers, and they love to ask questions...I love it. I can't wait to get to know them better. Stay tuned...
i am what i am
You're Mexico!
While some people think you're poor and maybe a little corrupt, you
know where it's at, enjoying good food and nice beaches. You like to take things a
little slower than those around you, and you really wish the air were cleaner, but sometimes
compromises must be made. For some reason, Chevrolet keeps trying to sell you Novas
as well, even though they don't really go.

I laughed...i cried..it moved me Bob! See i do still post
IF singing is a cintrivical factor in allowing the plot to procced than I am hooked. Case in point is Moulin Rouge.
I have just watched this for the very first time...which I now find almost impossible to believe. How is it that all of my dear friends who have seen this movie have not
INSISTED until this very moment that I sit down and enjoy? I find it unfathomable that I have gone this long without someone saying... "Trisha, you are going to love this movie!" It is so steryotypically "my" type of movie. It centers on characters that waver repeatedly on their belief of love. Can it get any more "me" than this? I don't think so. So I would just like to heartily thank Lauren for allowing me the privelege of finally seeing what is now one of my all-time favorite movies.
Plus they sing. They sing great songs that I already know and love...does it get any better than this? By and large it reminded me a great deal of my most positive experience of seening Mama Mia featuring songs of Abba...only this is "better" (so hard to compare live performances to movies....) because there were many more medlies...it was beautiful.
It was made by the same people that made Romeo + Juliet that should have been my first clue that I was going to love it...but at times I can be a little slow. ;)
The movie that started this craze was Phantom of the Opera. Another fantastic musical that shouldn't be missed. I really want to see a live performance of this one sometime in the future, I think that it would be a very memorable experience. Until then I am going to have to settle for watching this vesion repeatedly...that is until we have to return the DVD to Lauren's mom :( that will be a sad, sad day indeed.
I intend to watch more quality musicals in the very near future...I plan on revisiting Evita soon...I haven't seen that since we played the score in band...eons and eons ago. I am going to need to think up some more or maybe it is good that I can't think of many more since school is starting every so quickly...I cannot wait! :D
On an entirely different note I think I killed my spell checker thingy so this is just how I typed it...of course I am sure that you will find many errors (since the spell check usually does and it is taking today off) so enjoy them and feel free to jibe about how today's educational system is going down the drain because 5th grade teachers can't spell. I will continue to smile and say, "That, my dear friends is why God intended for us all to have wroking PCs with spell check that cannot refuse to work!" ;)
Missing Wes
A friendly cat stopped by our place tonight. And this visit reminded me that I miss my Westley. I feel like a bad mother that has abandoned her child because he was bad. But that isn't why I gave him away....I gave him away because I can't afford him :( I miss my buddy.
Live Long and Prosper
Dan got a new motercycle this weekend and it is quite impressive. I was a little nervous but forgetting my past motorcycle "experiences" I jumped on the back and it was so much fun. And I, Miss Mock-Everyone-You-See-On-Anything-Bigger-Than-A-Tricycle-Who-Doesn't-Wear-Helmets-And-Full-Leather-Protective-Clothing, without any consideration went zooming down the highway with no protective headgear dressed in a whispy shorts and a tank top...so much for my high standards. ;) I think that everyone should get their own motorcycle. I know that I want one now. Thanks, Dan! 
Maybe it can be a new tradition that we go out on the bike on Mondays...I would happily clear my schedule ;) If you haven't been out on a bike this summer
do it! You won't regret it. And if you are one of those people fortunate enough to own a motorcycle I hope that you ride it at every available opportunity. May you all live long and prosper.
We are the Conquerors
We have defied physics. We scoff in the face of gravity. My closet stands!
I would like to thank the guy that fixed it over and over again... It seems to be fixed
fantastically this time. Also, thanks for very neatly piling all of my clothes (that I had hurled in frustration into the horrid, wretched closet in a heaping mass of chaos) ever so exactly on my bed. I won't let my fits of frustration get in the path of your productivity again. Thank you for making this moment possible.
