Still nervous & Ramblings

I was downstairs doing our puzzle of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and well it is much harder than I thought. It is 1000 pieces and of course the picture on the box does no justice and the fact that I need 2 sets of reading glasses to look at the damn thing b/c the picture is so small. I had to bust out the book that I bought at the Vatican to get a closer look at what the hell we were doing. I give up easily so I decided to come up and write. Tim says to me, you are giving up so soon. Who is going to miss you if you don't write in your blog. I said I don't know, someone might and then I come and see the comment from KA. It made me feel good that someone reads what I write. It is also good for me so that I can remember some of the shit that I do or have done. So thanks KA, I'm glad that I started the blog as well. I feel like there is no excuse for people not knowing what is going on in my life now. I have a blog and I have a website. I think people get to know the more day to day stuff in the blog and the highlights on the website.

Anyways, my last couple of days have been pretty routine. I started teaching on Monday and my evaluation is TOMORROW!! I'm kinda nervous, I just really pray for good weather so that we can go outside. Knowing my luck my evaluator is going to come to school in 3 inch heels and a mid-thigh skirt and is going to freeze when we go out. It isn't that it is cold here, the weather has been pretty nice for England. It was in the high 60s with the sun out. Yes I know 60s is usually cold for me but well, I've been in England for 2 years and I'm going to take what I can get. I'm sure when I make it back to the states one of these days I'm going to die of a heat stroke b/c I won't be use to the weather. Anyways, I did the lesson plan for the lady so that she can have an idea of what I'm going to be doing. I did an inside and outside schedule just to be on the safe side. She is only going to be there for one period and I'm sure that she isn't going to stay for the whole thing or at least I hope not. Anyways, enough worrying, I'll do that later. Oh yeah, by the way, I got an A in my last class. One more and I'm DONE!!

So I was reading a couple of people's blogs this morning before I went to school and I wish I knew who half the people were that I read. I just go to a blog that I know and then look at their "Daily Dose of Blogs" or whatever it says. (I haven't figured out how to do that yet) There are some people that must do nothing but read all day. There was this one that I looked at and it had to have had about 20 different blogs that she read every day. I mean I'm all about keeping up with the people that I know but let's be real please. There has to be a line or it could be that I'm slightly jealous that I don't keep up as well as I use to with my old friends. I know that I need to email LO and CH and JP for that matter as well. I'm sure that none of them do this, well I could see CH doing it but not keeping up with it. Tim was making fun of me for doing a blog but he signed up with the rest of the world to MySpace. I have yet to do that, not sure that I'm going to either. I think if I did that everyone would find me and I would feel really guilty for not getting back to them when they contact me. I check email everyday but I'm not sure that I would check MySpace everyday. I guess the people that matter know how to get a hold of me and I'm sure that if anyone wanted to find me they could it isn't like I'm hiding or anything. Okay, I'm rambling now, need to stop these random thoughts that come to my mind. I wrote a lot of papers this way and I now I realize why I didn't get a great grade on them.

I painted the molding that needs to go back into the hallway. I have decided to paint the hallway as well. It is going to be cappacino. I don't want to put the molding back on cause it is going to be easier to paint when it is off. No edging and/or taping. I hate painting but always like the end result. Well really I don't mind painting as long as the wall is big and I only have to paint the middle. I don't know how some people could paint for a living, how boring, but I guess that is why people pay them to paint, it is boring.

Mom is doing well, she had surgery on Monday. She had a tummy tuck and lipo. I called her yesterday and thought she would sound drugged and groggy but she sounded like she always did. She said she was feeling no pain and she wasn't taking any of the pain meds that the doctor gave her. She said that her back hurt more than anything as she thinks that she threw it out or something when she went and opened up my Nana's summer house. They were some what upset that she wasn't coming out to stay with them right away but what are they going to do. I think she said that she is going out there next week after she is healed up some more.

Dad called today and I'm glad about that, I was getting kinda worried that I hadn't heard from him a while. He is doing well, he is driving "important" people back and forth from the airport to the compound. He doesn't like it. Dad is or has become a very social person and has to have human interaction if even for a couple hours a day. He is ready to go back to driving a truck, although this is safer for him I don't think it is healthy for him. This detail is only another week or so and I'm sure that he is ready to get back to his truck. He has some great stories, I think that is where I got my story telling ability from. He tells them so well too. There is one that I know I have heard about 10 times but I still laugh at it everytime. I miss my dad. It is always refreshing when he comes. Three more months and he and my sister will be here. I'm looking forward to it. Anyways, enough from me I'm running out of things to talk about.
