vacation, job update and i have a date!

oh yeah, baby. i am finally on my first official FAT vacation. i have the next 2 weeks off and what more is there to say?


i CAN'T believe that christmas break is finally here. it has been a grueling/gnarly/hilarious/tense few months as a first year teacher. i have been on the job now since september 6th and wow. i had zero idea how much work is involved. my heart my mind and my soul is here today to applaud all those who do a job that requires so much behind the scenes activity.


another teacher asked me th'other day how it was going and maybe cuz i was on vacation i smiled and said "great!"


there's so much truth to initial responses...no time for guile! (and that's a good thing)

and it's true. it has been great. i'm so glad to be able to say that!


p.s. i plan on squeezing out every bit of good time from this 15 days that i possibly can. wish me luck :)

rad hike with rad friends th'other day!

magnolia (not the white-girl) took me and krystal on this hike around thanksgiving....it followed a creek bed and wound its way up into the cahuilla lake mountains....we found a shimmering waterfall at the end and then went on to discover an oasis...we saw NO ONE, not even an animal...only skins of snakes long slithered away...and did i mention that it was amazing? thanks, mag.

been gone

yah, been gone for awhile...in a galaxy far, far away? no doubt. and here i am, it's saturday night...was supposed to get together with a friend and she stood me up! what's a girl to do?
this living alone thing is not working out the way i had planned...hopefully, either i'll get used to it OR i'll figure out a way to get people over. maybe i should sell lemonade. or churros.
i dunno.
sigh.
it's saturday night and i have simple desires. would like to be curling up in my bed next to my lover and watching a movie. or watching him breathe. either one would really be heavenly.
