i am really slackin on the photo ops here. i have plenty of photos i want to upload, so i will work on getting that done soon. i know you’re thrilled. it’s like the one thing you never knew you always wanted. isn’t it? isn’t it?? eh?? (and lap, i will totally post the shirley jones dress, though i’m not sure i have a full body shot, which is just plain shameful, i know.)
ah, monday mornings. you’ve got to love them. except the opposite.
i enjoyed riding to work in the rain this morning. i’m not sure why. i didn’t, however, enjoy running downstairs to my car at 6:45 this morning to roll up my windows to shut out the freaking downpour. my poor car is still soaked. in a bit, i’ll run outside and mop up the inside of the doors, at least. i forgot to bring down a towel with me when i left the apartment to head to work, and i got downstairs and realized that without something between my ass and the seat, i was going to have some very wet pants at work today. luckily there was a hoodie in the trunk, so i sat on that instead of having to hike back up 3 flights of damn stairs for a towel.
that was the long version of that story. heh.
i like the Eagles. this morning on the way to work, i was listening to the Ticket radio (1310 AM in Dallas), and the commercials were getting to me, so i switched it over to FM, and “Take it Easy” was playing. yay. yay Eagles! i don’t really care for the radio much, but i’ve been listening to it a little more lately. i stopped listening altogether for a while. i guess it was at the point when i realized that “top 40″ meant stations literally played the top 40 songs on repeat. ugh. so anyway, i’ve been more into talk radio lately.
my back is killing me lately.
this weekend was a whirlwind, over before i knew it. yesterday was nice and relaxing, but going to bed at 3:00 am on friday night only to have to endure a wedding, reception, AND baby shower on saturday: not cool. oh well. it was really ok considering i didn’t know the people getting married. though i did meet the groom on friday. ha. her dress was GORGEOUS, though, that’s for sure. serious wow factor. i’ve also decided that if/when i get married, i ALMOST definitely do NOT want to do it in a church. phew. man, i just don’t think that’s what i want. just sayin’.
hmm…i’m trying to think if i have anything else to say, and i can’t think of anything right now…
rehearsals for Oklahoma! start tomorrow (i’m in the ensemble, and it’s going to be very, very, boring). oh, and i have to go to the gyno tomorrow, too. YUCK. man, do i hate the gyno.
ah well.
oh yeah, thursday i’m taking off work to go observe classes at my sister’s school. (the one she teaches at, not goes to.) i hope this teaching thing looks like something i can do. heh. people who know me (family, friends, etc.–not colleagues, since they don’t know my plan yet–since i haven’t given my notice yet) seem to think i would be good at it. i hope that’s the case. we’ll see! time is tickin’ away, though. i’ve been ordering transcripts. the next thing i need to decide is if i want to do alternative certification or just go ahead and get my masters. hard to say.
well, i guess that’ll do it for now.
happy monday to all! may it pass quickly and with few casualties of war. oh, and a big congratulations to DIESEL and her new FIANCE’! i’m so happy for you guys!
peace out, mofos.
ok, later addition: you need to look at jessica simpson and her boobs, it is vital to your existence: crazy-ass boobs. ok, that is all. for now.

I, for one, definately want to see pictures. I’m glad you had fun this weekend, though, seriously, how did you do it?
As for the whole Masters/ Creditial thing, at least how it works in CA is you get a significantly higher salary if you have your Masters. All of my friends who are teachers tell me they wish they had just gotten that instead of only a credential because all three of them are now trying to get their degrees while teaching so they can get the pay increase. It is just crazy to try to do that. TX may be different, so don’t quote me there, but that’s just the stuff I’ve heard.

hi lume!
you know, i actually think it depends on the district here. my sister says that the difference in pay where she teaches isn’t that much. but i think it would depend, since i’m not necessarily going to end up teaching in the same city as she is. having a masters could never hurt, though, could it?

Hee, that’s what I keep telling myself when I contemplate Grad School. “It could never hurt to have it!”
