just for amy…..

Well its a rainy, cold night here at home and so I decided that I was bored at this moment and thought I’d blog. I’ve been watching episodes of Six Feet Under and on Season 4 now…

My job has had its ups and downs… the mostly downs are from others and not the kids so it makes it tolerable.  I had a great day and fun day at work. I was the mystery reader for the kids and they had to guess who was coming to class.  I got to read them a story and they got to ask me questions when I was done, mostly “whats your favorite color” and “whats your favorite animal”, etc.  The best part.  They “thanked” me for reading to them.  They make their hands in a T and then make their hands like a firecracker and shoot up to the sky and make firecracker noises.  It was really a day i’d remember working there.  I decided that if I wanted to be a teacher, I’d definately teach 2nd grade. I think that would be the most fun!!! 3 and 4 are taking MEAP right now which is so much pressure on those kids these days!

oh! For those of you  who don’t know, I’m not working at an elementary school in Saline, MI as an Admin. Asst.  I really love my job and dont’ even mind when sundays come along and I have to work the next day!!!!!

I also got a “family membership” for F and I at the rec center yesterday.  A perk, a wonderful discount… only $14.00 a month to work out there… guilt free for me if I don’t go every single day :) and the fun part of adding F, to my account. weird.  I”m so used to typing BF that its weird to drop the B now. huh,

Anyway, so as my mother has put it, I’m now starting to become a kid all over again.  I broke down and bought some crocs to wear to school and they are VERY comfy I must admit. I bought the brown mary jane’s, and got a few jibbitz, a turtle and a kitty print.  Haven’t seen them? go to www.jibbitz.com and check it out!!!

I also have been introduced to webkinz.  I checked that out online tonight too…and bought my princess fiona outfit for halloween.  Oh, I can’t wait.  I’ve had three girls give me hugs everyday on their way into class and the boys constantly comment on my star wars potato heads.  I recently added “trick or tator” and he is the CUTEST thing ever as a little ghost!!!

Other than that, I’m spending my days working on the website and getting back into my html coding for it… other than that there isn’t much to report.  We are now starting to talk about where we’d like to get married, but trying to figure out HOW is the question. We are looking at Italy, but apparently it is against the law to get married in Italy outdoors??? Still looking into that. It looks like he can get the month of July off so we are hoping to travel the entire time wherever we end up going… early to mid August is now floating around for a reception, and the odds are we’ll have one in saginaw….i think it’ll work out the best having it there. Does anyone out there have any ideas for reception halls??  Besides the big ones that will cost a lot of dough.. especially since there is no help of funds coming from anywhere :)

The good news is that my mom is finally talking to me about getting married, as two weeks ago she was unable to even do that. She is very unhappy because my Dad isn’t around and has been making life very difficult on me.    We are arguing of course, which is nothing new because she has no money and likes to bring it up about every 5 minutes!!! 

 I also have been researching some healthy foods online and debating on joining weight watchers just for some recipe ideas to try and get in tip top form for next year and starting now!! Mindy gave me some great ideas for new work out info/magazines so it got me pumped up too! 

F is in the other room putting up a bookshelf we got from Grandma so I can try to free up some room for more shelving space for clothes…. =)  I’m looking forward to the cooler weather… the summer gets SOOOOOOO busy that once its cold, I live for the “do nothing “weekends of vegging and doing puzzles and watching movies… especially since we got to start spending a lot less to afford to go somewhere next summer!!

Well thats it… nothing else to report.
