This is a belated Merry Christmas for those of you who didn't get my hilarious Christmas cards this year (peeps you know what I'm talking about hee hee hee-ok well I found them laugh out loud funny) and an early New Years! I am headed to Houston, TX tomorrow to see a little ISU football and well it's handy that my honey is there too. He's been home now for about a week.
The holidays were exhausting for me cooking two Christmas dinner's is a bit much...I thought the barrage of dishes, cleaning, and cooking would never end. It did however end and I got just about everything I wanted for Christmas which was great. I am still trying to recover though - I am very tired and I've caught some sort of cold, sinus, headache thing. I have been struggling with an annoying headache for about 5 days now, but its not near as bad as day two when it was at about a migraine status - also Day 2 of Christmas - coincidence? I think not...
Those of you that know me well understand that I find New Years a disappointment every year and that I usually don't make New Years resolutions. The only goals I have for this year are to stop smoking (doing ok on this one the cutting back is no problem) and to keep my finances at bay until I start teaching - while keeping my sanity. I think I can...I think I can...oh wait maybe I've already lost my sanity what am I doing...I just finished packing up my desk at work. It's weird I thought it would make me sad, but I don't really feel anything except that it is going to be a pain to figure out where to put all this crap at home. I guess maybe I'll feel differently next week. Only three days at work left. Then I will be unemployed, paying to student teach, and one year older before the week up.I've been thinking about change - for obvious reasons. It's crazy that no matter how much planning, thinking, and stressing a person does change always happens in an instant. For example I have been planning to quit here for a while now, but until I walk out the door the last time nothing will change. Anyway that is my deep thought for the day..."change is instantaneous".I wish everyone a SAFE and Happy New Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just a quick update! I had a great time at the concert the show was awesome and I loved it! I'm pretty sure J had a great time too...he yelled and jumped up and down a lot!I have won 4 tickets for the Coheed and Cambria show in Kansas City for Monday 19th. As soon as I get them I am selling two of them because well isn't it obvious - I only need two, so if anyone is interested please leave a comment with your email address. Otherwise I will be posting them on eBay asap.
I have been reading my favorite blogs today and there seems to be an overall theme...Winter blues, Christmas blues, cold blues. Everyone is struggling with life right now. What has happened to Christmas and life where we dread every day...going into work, driving in the snow, and the list continues. What can we really do to overcome the stress of the holidays and the hum drum world of everyday life? I can honestly say I don't have the winter blues just yet, but I have also been spending a lot of time with my new man and he makes me laugh, so until he goes home to Texas I think that I will be pretty safe. However, I believe that I will fall into the pit that is Iowa and Nebraska SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) soon after he leaves. He keeps reminding me that it is warm and happy in Texas. I met my student teachers last night - actually one of my good friends knows both of them and I have been reassured that my instincts were correct and all will go well! I am scared and excited to start. It is going to be a massive amount of work and I already feel tired all the time. I think I'm becoming lazier each year that I am alive. I feel less like changing the world and more like making my way through the isles of Wal-Mart is a major accomplishment. Lastly, J and I had "the talk" about our plans after he leaves. He wants me to move to TX and I want him to come here. It's a tough thing that I am in no way making a decision about any time soon. I'm a pretty big sissy about these things, so I am not sure I could bring myself to walk away from everything for someone I've only known for a few months. I am taking this decision one day at a time as it seems to be my decision to make because he doesn't really have the option to transfer to Omaha. I figure I have at least 4+ months to figure this out (enter procastination of all things) because I have to complete my student teaching. Anyway I post this because I wonder if anyone has ever made a stupid decision like that and was happy that they did? GRRRR! The Universe is cruel!P.S.
I have been getting a lot of slack lately about not writing in my blog. I have to say that I'm not the only one who has been a slacker...there are others...
