Hello everyone....well it's been a long time since last I wrote.  I'm not feeling so well.  I've been sneezing for like 3 straight days.  I've been sleeping all day...and that's always fun, but I feel kind of lazy. 

So we only have one more week off until we start teaching.  I'm really nervous.  I feel like all my training taught me nothing.  I have to go to the doctor today to get my physical for work and for him to check on my cold and the lump on my face.  Hopefully this time the doctor will actually feel the lump on my face. 

i also have get something notorized.  and later on today I find out if I passed my certification tests...I'm pretty nervous...

My house has been somewhat of a battle zone lately.  It's calmed down in the last two days, but all I  can think about is when I'm going to have enough money to get the hell out of here. 

i had a softball game last night, and we got killed.  There's only two more games left.  i wish I could play more often.  I was thinking about joining a fall league, but with starting a new job I don't know if that's such a good idea.  Although it may relieve stress.  hitting a ball as hard as you can is good for reducing stress.

I bought the Moulin Rouge CD a couple of days ago...I love Ewan....

One day i'll fly away

Leave all this to yesterday

Why live life from dream to dream

And dread the day when dreaming ends?

Good afternoon everyone!

It's 12:15 and I ot up half an hour ago....It felt so nice to sleep late....Mike had to leave for work at 3:30 this morning so I've had the bed to myself since then.....It was soo nice....but of course I love when Mike is here with me also. 

Last night I had a wonderful night with Greg.  We spent so long sitting at the piano singing....It was so much fun....its so nice to have someone who appreciates music like that.  He even taugt me a little piece of a song....i'm going to practice later.  Then we went to the Outback for a late dinner/snack and saw Shane....they weren't having the best of nghts at the Outback since someone walked out, but I think it helped that Greg came to see him...so that was nice. 

Later on today I'm going to play board games at Lou's house.  I'm so jeaslous that he has a house, and it's so damn cute.  It will be even better when he puts up the moldings...

After that I have a softball game, let's hope we can win two in a row!  We're so much better than we've been playing....

I'm watching the Poker World Championship....it's very interesting...I'm terrible at poker because I have no poker face at all....I don't hide my emotions well...

I'm going to go now....have a great day!

Hello everyone!

Well I spent my third day off working for my mom from 8-6.  Her secretary is on vacation and I'm filling in.  It kind of sucks. I have to do it tomorrow and Friday, but I can always use the money...I just wish I didn't have to do the filing that's gone to hell since I stopped doing it to join the fellows...

This woman who works with my mom was invited to a Yankee celebrity golf outing.  Security Dodge, where my mom is the Service manager, has electric cars that look remarkably like golf carts.  So they send these cars and drivers to celebrity golf outings.  This woman Kim knows what a big fan I am so asks me if I want to some along....OF COURSE I DO.  At the last one Yogi, Phil Rizzuto, Don Mattingly, Joe Torre, Mel Stottlemeyer, Lee Mazzilli, Jason Giambi, Andy Pettite, and Derek Jeter plus others were there.  SO I would be able to meet all these people and drive them around in electric cars...EXCEPT the tournament is on August 18, and of course I'll be taking a child abuse seminar instead!  DOESN'T THAT SUCK?????  I was thoroughly depressed for the rest of the day.

Good News:  We won our softball game last night.  It was first time in a while that we actually had 10 players, we usually have to play with nine, which sucks....but last night we played good...we won 13-4 and nothing hit me in the face, so that's always a plus.

I'm going to cook dinner, it's my dad's birthday!
THis is for GREG:

Your love
is better than ice cream.
Better than anything else that I've tried
and your love
is better than ice cream
everyone here knows how to cry

and it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way
down to the place where we started from.

Hello everyone,

Well this week just flew by.  It was a great week.....We finished our training....and now we geta much needed break!

I have to go into Manhattan tomorrow to take a test that I probably already passed....but i guess it won't kill me to go...

Wednesday was the best day.....It was Greg's birthday....I baked him a cake that everyone said was great....even if it had the Grand Canyon in the middle of it.  We got to leave summer school early to go to a picnic, which was awesome.  The weather was perfect, and we all just relaxed.  I'm still a little sore from 10 games of volleball.

Afterwards we went to Happy Hour, and Kesha came, I love this girl.....she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Then I went to a very nice Chinese restaurant with Mike, Greg, Lou, Shane, and Carolyn.  It was so nice that it went so well.  I was glad that Mike got along good with everyone.  I think that Shane is so funny....and so perceptive.  I'm a rather picky eater, and everyone always gives me a slightly hard time about it, but the waiter was great, and I was so  proud of myself when I tried duck!  That was a very big deal for me.....Maybe lobster will be next.

We went to the closing ceremonies today for the fellows program.....not much of a ceremony though.....all we did was pick up our checks.....but we did get to eat lunch with a group of us....We went to a Turkish Restaurant.  I wasn't feeling very adventurous today,so I went down the street and got ziti....

Then on the way to Penn, we got caught in a thunderstorm....it was a lot of fun, i felt like I was in a movie.  The rainwas dripping off my face.  The train ride home was rather cold though...

The only bad thing that happened this week was when I got hit in the face with a softball so hard that the imprintofthe laces is still there three days later.  It's starting to turn green now....I guess it's a battle scar! 

It's going to be weird to not see the fellows for a month....we're so used to being together....I'm sure that I'll see Lou and Greg though....I'd better.....otherwise I'll kick their butts.....

I'm going to leave everyone with some lyrics from RENT...

Let's make a resolution

I'll drink to that

Let's always stay friends

Though we may have our disputes

This family tree's got deep roots

Friendship is thicker than blood

That depends

Depends on trust

Depends on true devotion

Depends on love

Depends on not denying emotion

Perhaps, It's gonna be a Happy New Year...

Hello all.....It's been a couple of busy days since I last wrote.

I've finished my workfolio for Kesha, which is wonderful!!  There's really only one thing left to do and that's my presentation tomorrow for Dr. Sobol.  I've just spent a rather long time cutting out triangles and squares.   I think that this lesson will be fun tomorrow. 

All  we have to do on Wednesday is go to a BBQ and eat Greg's cake that I plan on making wonderfully tomorrow night.  I hope that it comes out good.  I'm still a little skeptical about bananas and chocolate together in a cake, but he likes it and it's his birthday!

I did a lesson in Kesha's class today. I thought it went well, but Lou was right that I did spend too much time with my back to the class, and Greg was right that I do write too small.  That is really something that i'm going to have to work on.  I worry too much about my handwriting being neat. 

I'm still really worried about the LAST...it's even worse because I can't take it again.  I'm registered for the Math CST again on 8/2, but I haven't decided whether I'm going to take it or not.  I guess that I will, just in case. 

Lou and Greg came to my house this weekend to make our posters.  I was glad that they felt comfortable here.  My house is a little strange to say the least.  Sooner or later I will make Greg love my puppies.  How can you not love them?  They are so cute.

Just something I saw on TV that really bugged me....Toni Braxton is now playing AIDA on broadway...and they hd to change the songs because they were  too high.  I hate when they take unqualified people and put them on broadway....the worst one ever was the NSYNC guy who was in RENT....what's the matter with this picture?
