No Rumination

I noticed that a lot of my friends have intelligent posts where they ruminate on something and give their smart person take. My entries are not like that at all! I guess I can never really think of anything to talk about that is intelligent. So, if you have any ideas, then give me suggestions and I'll see how well I can measure up.
But, on to my normal entry. I have had a great time the past week or so. First, I got to go to New York City for the weekend, which was fantastic. I do hate flying by myself, and it was not fun to have to drive to and from the airport in Norfolk or ride by myself to and from LaGuardia. I guess I just wish for some of those moments in Love Actually where there is hugging and excitement. Some of the magic is lost, for example, when you come back home and instead of running into your loved one's arm, you push past them so you can put down your bulky suitcase and you really just feel the need to shower or brush your teeth or find some way to feel human. This feeling is magnified, by the way, if you are coming home and surviving your first hangover. Oh well. NYC was great, I pretended ot be a real New Yorker. I went to a museum, and road in fancy taxis (they have tv screens and credit card scanners in the back!) and went to three clubs. Oh, and got drunk for the first, and hopefully ever time in my life. I also saw a famous person, Vincent D'ofrino. I steathly took a picture. It was great, and I loved spending some real time with my friend, a chance I haven't gotten in a long time.
Upon my return, I got to spend a week without work, doing nothing except some housework to feel like I wasn't completely useful. It was fantastic. This past weekend, I got to see most of my friends from college at a wedding, which was great. It was also great to see two people who truly love each other tie the knot and start their official married life together. Now, I have to go work and then get back to work. Oh well. Freedom was good while it lasted.

Why is my life so busy?

I am really baffled about how my life became so full, especially on the weekends. For example, the last weekend in March involved a 9 hour training on Saturday, which is actually not too fun. Then, this past weekend, we had to go to the mall to get a dress for me (I tried to get Austin to get one, but...) and we also had our engagement photo session. Next weekend I am going to visit my friend in NYC, and Austin is going to torture Hammy by taking him to the vet's for four shots. I am glad I"m missing that one. The weekend after that we have a wedding to go to, and Austin's birthday. Then, the weekend after that, Austin has to travel to North Carolina for a training. During all of this, I have to make sure I start sending out resumes and cover letters and somehow find contacts in the school districts. Do I think I will get a job next year teaching? No. But I have to try. Thank you, economy! Anyway, apart from that, there isn't much going on in my life. I am still working at my part-time job, and for the most part it's fun. Some of the kids are not so good, but that's life, I guess. One of my co-workers who I really like is leaving, which is sad. Even worse, we really cannot operate with only three people, which is what we'll be down to for two days out of the week. The site leader got an acting job, and I don't know if she is leaving or not. So, that's what's going on. Feel free to send money!
