i had an AMAZING weekend

but i still hate my job.

more fun things to come...

if there was an emoticon for shamed

i would put it right here: ___________

dear friends, i am sorry for my absence. i was working hard to put up that post about how my life at work is, but its like they sensed it and dumped a shit ton more work onto me. but the jokes on them, because now i have more fodder for my post! hahaha!

here's some things that have been happening.

1. i got a wicked eye infection
2. my insurance through michael is pretty great
3. our dog is getting big and really very sassy. the vet says, "oh yeah, it'll get worse before it gets better". very helpful, lady.
4. i have been eating starburst everyday since halloween
5. for 2 weekends in a row, i have had a mini drinking club with my friend from work, C. she is great (coincidence that her name begins with Ch, just like another awesome friend i know? probably)
6. i made raggedy robins
7. michael is getting a facebook!
8. we began watching Dexter. it is weird. weirdly fascinating.

so, in conclusion, not much has been going on. well, i did go through a major guilt shame-spiral that lasted several weeks and culminated in an explosion of tears and incoherent babbling last sunday. but since then, things have been much better. today, for instance, i found out all the crazy shit they are testing my students on in 4 weeks. there is no way in hell my kids are going to do well on those tests. so i say, "fuck it. let's just eat cookies and play puzzles for the next month! the test is shit anyway." so cookies and puzzles it is. HURRAY



p.s. did you know starbucks has its peppermint mocha back on the menu. go GET IT

pps. caton, to reward you for noticing my disappearance, i have comment-bombed your blog. enjoy!
