Best friends

I am lucky enough to have a couple best friends of my own, but have also shared in many of these friendships!

I've seen every episode of almost every one of these shows. They've been good to me along the way--this was a fun little walk down memory lane!

poor planning

Well, my classroom is on its way to being packed. (I'm moving rooms next year and our carpet is getting replaced.) However, I had grand plans of packing/organizing/weeding through as I went, and at this point I am throwing random things in giant boxes. Since the school is getting carpet we can't be in the building until sometime towards the end of July. I was not supposed to have to babysit until August 1st, but now since my principal is leaving for a new district I have to start July 18th. All of this would be well and good, except I am going on a float trip the last weekend in July and going to North Carolina the first weekend in August! Those probably should've been the weekends I should've been putting my classroom together.......oh well. Surely it will get done somehow!?

endings.........

Wow-this week sucks! I feel down in the dumps right now! My beloved teammate/mentor is leaving--we only have a couple more days with her. It was the end of like all my shows--and no more Jillian on Biggest Loser, and no more Oprah! That was enough sadness (yes, I'm over attached to tv personalities). Then of course today comes, and my boss tells us she is leaving. This was horrible news to receive. I have a hard time picturing our school without her. She's the only principal I've ever worked for, and we have a great relationship. Combine that with the teammate leaving, that is like 2 of the 5 most important people at work! It is going to be a tough transition.

In the good news department, I was feeling kinda depressed and spontaneously booked a trip to North Carolina to visit a friend. I haven't seen the beach in way too long...it will be good for the soul.

Fun in the Closet

I often look longingly at The Container Store website. I think-if only I had those things, I'm sure I'd be organized. I've never actually ordered anything. Awhile ago I signed up for their teacher program--15% discount! So I get their emails. I got one today about their spring sale and decided to look. Oops. Almost $100 later, I'm sure my closet will be a bit more organized soon! I also bought some cool bookshelf things that make your books look like they're magically stuck to the wall. I have a lot of books, so this is a good thing. Here are a couple of my fun buys. :) Oh, and one more sad but true thing ;)

a few fun things

Phone Love

I have had a yucky boring phone forever--even though my last phone "had internet" it was pretty ridiculous and not worth doing much with unless I was really bored at the DMV or something. Well, enter iphone. I just love love love it. I feel like I bought a new computer! I have only spent $2.99 on apps (one particular game I wanted), and I won't be spending more--anything you could ever want is free! It's just so fun, I've played with it for hours on end. Very very happy with it. Hooray!

On another note, I ate pizza today!! I am starting to be like a bit of a normal person. :)

Normal?

I am on my 11th day post op, tomorrow will be day 12. I thought by day 10 I'd be feeling back to normal--WRONG! This has been the most terrible, horrible, awful thing I have ever endured. I ate my first "meal" last night--a baked potato. Today I had 1/2 and order of cheese quesadillas from Taco Bell. My energy is shot, my throat is still killing me (worse than any strep throat I've ever had), and any time I try to eat the food gets stuck in the giant hole in my throat. I feel hopeless and depressed. I have no idea when I'll be able to go back to work, eat normally without having to gargle forever afterwards, and not be in constant pain. I JUST WANT TO BE NORMAL AGAIN!!!!
