I had an interview on Friday morning for my traineeship that starts in the fall..Hopefully, i get it...It's in a good location, and the hours are flexible so I won't have to cut back on my work hours so much...We'll see...
Freaks and Geeks is coming out on DVD in April!!! The whole series!! I pre-ordered it on Amazon....
I made a pitcher of Cherry Kool-Aid and have drunk almost all of it....
I saw a bunch of vanity plates over the last week..One said SKYRAQT...at first, I thought it said SKYRAQI (rhyming with Iraqui) and thought "that's weird"...then another one said something-IDIOT)..there was another one too...but I don't remember....
Is tomorrow already Monday?? Crap...Well, at least next weekend is a three-dayer.....

soo....tired....
I'm sorry I haven't been here a lot..Been busy with traineeship planning and wedding planning...Jonathan and I go meet the reverand tomorrow who'll be perfoming the ceremony....
Last night I had ALL the classic nightmares rolled into one...
I dreamt I was late to a class (that I forgot to do homeowork for)
..then when I got there, there was a TEST!
Then, I realized I was naked.
THEN Freddy Kruger was chasing after me...
...then I woke up to go pee....
Then, I went back to sleep, dreamt that I had to take all the kids on a field trip BY MYSELF..AT NIGHT! ...then one of the kids was sick and I tried calling their parents and they wouldn't come...
::sigh::
no wonder i'm tired...
and i still have to make dinner...and dessert (I'm making Tiramisu! (with coffee, not rum)....
Work was ok (for a monday)...at least this weekend is a three-dayer....

[04 January 2004|12:22am] |
Jonathan and I saw Big Fish tonight. It was a good movie. Not "Tim Burton" good, but a good movie. We saw previews for 50 First Dates (the new Adam Sandler movie); SpiderMan 2; Ladykillers (a really dumb-looking Tom Hanks movie...I do believe he has "jumped the shark" with this one); Along Came Polly (the ads are on tv now); some movie with Ray Romano in it; and another movie by the guy who wrote "out of sight" a few years ago...anyways.
sleeeeeepy....

My LJ is three years old now! I kept a journal at diaryland for a few weeks, but it sucked ass, so I switched over here (I transferred those entries here, so I DO have posts that are dated before the 28th, but I didn't actually start using LJ until Dec..anyways).........
Anways, I'm really glad I found Livejournal and that I have "met" all of you.

Work was ok today. Until the girls' toilet overflowed..and I didn't notice for about ten minutes..There was literally a lake in the bathroom...It flowed under the door and into the staff bathroom. It took FOREVER to clean...Even the mop was no help...I had to use a broom to sweep it all out....Thank goodness that the bathrooms are right by the front door ::sigh:: I have blisters on my hands from the broom. One of the kids helped me though, which was nice.
Well, the wedding is set for May 22nd. (That's a Saturday). I know that's kinda soon, but it's going to be small so there isn't much to arrange.. More info when I have it.

Wel, I know we've been talking about it for awhile....But now......I am offically....
ENGAGED!!!!!
Jonathan proposed tonight and I said yes. He first gave me a gift box..I opened it..it had a sheet of paper in it that said "Will you Marry Me?"...and then he pulled out the ring and got down on one knee and everything and asked me again.......
He came over this afternoon while I was at work and asked my parents for their blessing....
No official date set...but we're looking at the last weekend in May (maybe)...He'll be able to take vacation time by then, and I'll have a break inbetween classes then too...

Today was ok. One of the kids at work threw a monster temper tantrum. He locked himself in the bathroom and kicked the trash can around for ten minutes. Then he started talking about himself in the third person, saying screaming "Cory's going to have a happy day!!", punctuated with a whump when he kicked the trash can (or wall, I wasn't in the bathroom with him)... ::sigh:: All because his older brother told him to wash his face.
Anyways.
New Candy Alert! There's this new candy called Swoops, and it's kinda like the a candy bar in Pringles form. They have Almond Joy flavor, Reeses Peanut Butter flavor, plain Hershey's Chocolate, and York Peppermint Patty. It's good.

Another Safety Point Fwd: Crying Baby
Someone just told me that her
friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she
called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The
police told her "Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door." The lady then
said
that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was
worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The
policeman
said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open
the
door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry
recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that
someone
dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had
several
calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors
when
they're home alone at night. Please pass this on! and DO NOT open the
door
for a crying baby. This e-mail should probably be taken seriously
because
the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past
Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.

If you haven't tried (or even noticed) the "rich text" option on your update page, do try it... It makes putting text in bold and italics and all the other effects SOOO much easier...no need to type the html code anymore! Whoohoo!

I'm very busy with schoolwork right now. I'm doing Genograms and Ecomaps for myself at ages 6, 17, and now (25)...It's a pain in the ass doing it with MS Word. I have the charts done though. Now I just need to embellish them. ::Sigh:: What a pain in the ass.
I need chocolate.
I have to finish my laundry and take a shower first though. I have to get up early and open at work tomorrow. ::ugh:: A trip to Starbucks is very in order. Although that DOES mean I'll have to get up that extra 15 minutes earlier so I'll have time to go...Hmm..maybe I'll just sleep those extra minutes.....What to do, what to do......

Jonathan and I went to the mall tonight and got some stuff for the Wish Tree. It was fun. I hope whoever gets the stuff we got likes what we picked out...
The kids at work were really bratty today. ::sigh:: And it's only Monday!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone;
I posted this in my journal two years ago. I thought I'd post it again..
I AM THANKFUL FOR:
The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed.
The clothes that fit a little too snug because it
means I have enough to eat.
A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.
The space I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
My huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.
The piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.
Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.
The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive

I'm really tired. Mom and I went to the grocery store this morning at 8am for last-minute thanksgiving stuff. To avoid the crowds and all.
Today at work , one of the kids got in trouble at school. He's on crutches right now, and he hit the principal with his crutch. Then when he came over to us, he knew he was in trouble and he locked himself in the bathroom. Then he tried to climb out of the window. Fun times.

Anywho..I'm seriously debating if I should bother buying the new Tori Amos album..It's a "greatest hits" cd...meaning I already have all the songs...But they're supposedly remastered and re-recorded, so they'd SOUND different...Hmm..I'll see if I can get a copy for a decent price. Anyways.

My birthday was pretty good this year.
The kids at work made me a giant card, and they all signed it...It was sweet.
The day started out a little stressful. I had to handle the kindergardeners by myself, because my supervisor called in sick. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get off when I was supposed to. But it all turned out ok.
Then Jonathan took me to dinner. The waiter ended up giving us our slice of cheesecake for free (he didn't even know it was my birthday) over this really tiny error he made.
Mom gave me some birthday money, so I bought DVD's. I did pretty good; I got all of this for less than a hundred dollars:
The Little Princess (Shirley Temple version)
The Crow (2-disc special edition)
Drop Dead Gorgeous
Snow White: A Tale of Terror
Little Women (1994 version)
Simpsons Treehouse of Terror
Stand and Deliver
I bought The Crow used for fourteen, the rest were really cheap at Fry's; The Little Princess was five dollars, Drop Dead Gorgeous was six, the rest were nine apiece...

The big 2-5. As one of my classmates said on Wednesday night, "Rebecca, that's a milestone birthday!".. I don't feel 25. I don't feel like it's really my birthday. Oh well.
For my birthday tonight, I'm going out to dinner. I don't know where yet. Have not opened any presents yet. I didn't really ask for anything though. Just stuff I need.My dad bought me next quarter's textbooks, which was nice. Now I don't have to worry about books until May. Anywho.
At work on Tuesday, I saw a very disturbing sight. An 8-year old girl doing a dance number to "Dirrrty"...AND mouthing the words. ::sigh::
I'll update on the festivities later tonight.

I had a wicked nightmare last night that I "forgot" that I was taking a distance-learning class at a community college and that I hadn't done any of the work.. So I decided to go to the actual class to talk to the professor..But then I couldn't find my car...So I asked my stepdad to take me...But then I couldn't find my shoes..But we left anyways..So then I was outside, in a field with all these bookbags on the ground..Then i realized I FORGOT my bookbag...I looked at all the ones on the ground, but none were mine.....Then it started to rain..Then I was standing in the rain, with no umbrella, and NO shoes.....A general theme of un-preparedness..Wonder what that's supposed to mean...Anyways, the dream ended with me calling Jonathan to come rescue me. He's good at that :)
Had some good pasta tonight...Then Jonathan and I went to Baskin-Robbins..I got a scoop of cookies n cream, and a scoop of Jamoca Almond Fudge..It was goooood...Now I have a nice big cup of tea...

I ...am ...tired..
Yesterday, I was up at 8:00..went to a study gruop from 10-12. Then I went to the pharmacy to pick up my refill. Then I went to the library...Then I got gas. Then I went to the grocery store. Then I went home and studied for two hours, and THEN I cooked dinner. I am still tired....
FYI, anyone remember that kids' book The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly? Well, they rewrote it as The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Pie...And she no longer swallows a spider (to catch the fly), she swallows some cider,. How stupid is that?
I need something caffinated badly. Or maybe I should just go to bed...

I bought this tonight. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend..I don't know.
Tomorrow's a long day. I need to figure out what I'm going to take for the dinner break tomorrow..or if I should just walk down to quizno's..I don't really feel like quizno's...too expensive..Though they DO have Vanilla Coke on tap.....
Oh! Yesterday, I saw a (homeless?) guy standing by the stoplight holding a sign...nothing terribly unusual about that..... But..He had his arm pulled inside of his shirt, with the sleeve rolled and pinned shut (so it looked like he was missing that arm)..His sign read "I'M SO HUNGRY I WOULD EAT MY OTHER ARM".....Different, yes...albeit a little tacky....
I'm not terribly tired...but maybe I'll just go lie down....

I had craploads of bad dreams last night. Well, not "bad" in the nightmare sense, just....unpleasant. Hm.
This week is going to be very, very long. Parent-teacher conferences are this week, so the kids are getting out at 12:30 instead of 2:05. So there's an extra hour and a half of care that we are providing. It may not seem like much, but it really is a lot. Oh well.
My new class (Counseling Across Cultures) starts Wednesday night. I'm looking forward to it.

had my final in my first grad school class last night. I feel pretty good about it, but we had three more hours of lecture after the test was over. I hardly saw the point, because the class was OVER and we aren't going to have that professor again until January. ah well.
Then, this am I had to go to the dentist :( Actually, it wasn't that bad.
And! I had my annual review at work today, and got a raise! whoohoo!
