Did I Mention The Drunk Athlete?

No, I did not.

I had an interview LATE the other nite. Well after 10pm which I never do but agreed because this dude was three hours behind. So in that case, cater cater cater. I was exhausted & seriously didn't know how I was going to stay awake.  Then I finally answered the phone & was on my tues quickly cause dude, he was a slirrin'! 

AND.

He called via Skype & explained one of the wires in his mic was whacked so it was a BAD connection- all crackly & stuff.

Slurring & static.

Not so nice when I realized I was going to have to spend longer than usual trying to translate this mess in order to transcribe it! Funny story to tell & imitate, not so funny to put on paper & turn into anything viable. I wondered if he was too trashed to know that we spoke. Ya know, could I request ANOTHER interview  ;)

In Mr. DJ VS Mr. Vodka news...

I was chatting with DJ last night & something he said made it kinda clear my situation with Vodka is a situation he is in with someone else right now. So I spilled & told him about Mr Vodka. You know, looking for guy advice plus I figured he might tell me about HER a bit.  Cause I'm curious.

So, he basically says Vodka looks like he is interested in more & is attached then everything shifted.

TEXTBOOK MAN ALERT.

Now, now he suggested we go for drinks or just hang out, you know spend real time together. Now he wants a real conversation rather than constant messages & chats at night. NOW he asked about my texting, do I have unlimited texting? Oh good so we can text a lot when I finally give up my number.

Seriously?

Seriously.

I agreed to go out with him. Because he IS hilarious & at the very least I think he's make a great real life friend. He has sports stuff all weekend so I told him we can talk Monday, I'll give him my number then. Don't want texting to interfere with his hockey/football-a-pa-looza.  A girl has to maintain some control of the situation ya know?

It is 3 degrees out this morning which inspires me to want to stay in & clean. It is 3 degrees out this morning which makes me want to run to the store to grab stuff so I can bake.

Typical huh?

But don't red velvet cupcakes sound good?????

My Life Without A Notebook Is Like Hockey Without The Brawls

You think I'm joking?  I'm totally not.  I have been twitching all evening because I need new notebooks. 3 to be exact.  I feel like I discombobulated wreck heading into this week & I have 3 different types of work going on at once here. I don't want to write things in the wrong places so I'm holding off until morning. (This is where I'm having an internal erruption like a volcano, any volcano- pick one!) Besides this is how I can justify an early after school drop off run to Borders, no?? I mean notebook, jumbo day planner & coffee all right there. I can stop twitching & make a few lists then & there.

I'll blame my weirdness on the notebook situation or it COULD be because I've just spent an ENTIRE holiday break with kids & on the really good days, their friends too!

**Twitch**

They return to school tomorrow & not a second to soon. They behaved pretty well but in the end they had the rare luxury of whining that they were bored! My response?  "Enjoy it because starting Monday you're busy until EASTER."

That means so am I.

**Twitch**

Uniforms are pressed, snacks are in lunch bags, backpacks are packed, we are ready. I just need for no new second graders to have moved into the boundary & we'll be fine.

If you remember overcrowding caused them to try & bump B out to another school last fall. Nitemare. Nitemare. Nitemare.

They did inform me after a 2 week legal battle that included the DA's office & a judge, that she is the first to go if someone new comes. I'm afraid to look at my caller ID this week for fear I get THAT call again.  And not halfway thru the year when she was already disrupted once & still managed to settle back in & pull A's.

**TWITCH!!**

Yeah, uh-huh... it's all about the notebooks. They are easy to deal with & easier to remedy.

Weekends Remind Me Of...

...when I was a kid every weekend we took a trip into town and there was a bakery that I loved. You know, you walk thru the door and just get hit with the smell of everything they have been baking since 4am.  It was a little hole in the wall and the walls were pretty empty but it was my favorite part of the day.
