2001
OF COURSE I feel guilty for sitting at my desk at work having done exactly seven minutes of work today and now looking forward to the 45 minutes to go before I grab a galactic starburst out of this reality and into another reality. Today, I'm going on my first college field trip. Our field trip is to Barnes and Nobles. We're supposedly going to find out the rich wealth of teacher resources this stellar franchise has to offer. My thoughts? Not that I am DYING to be a teacher this very instant, but often I'm like "ah this is bullshit. Push it real good." Not that you would care. How many people would honestly care about a stranger who is in the first semester of pursuing her teaching degree?
Meine Herr is out of town this evening and next. He's got another job that will eek us out for another month or two. Ahhhh. I'm very into this time change and relish the sense of "more time" it gives me. I'm ready to turn off that bright bulb of fun and personality I've been projecting. I'm ready to hibernate, eat, and think about harkening Christmas.
I'll be really 30 on november 20th . It's always a bit "there" when you're rounding into the month you were born.
As you may ascertain, I'm a bit out of sorts as per usual for mundy. I've nothing much to say. I wish I were in my cozy home listening to music and cooking some savory lentil-based stew on the stove, but I'm not and we all must deal with it.
I went to a wedding this weekend. I was probably only there because my husband is good friends with the groom. I wore the wackiest "dressed up" outfit I've ever worn (a goodwill black sleevless dress with a pleated skirt, a nyc yardsale b&w patterned blouse and a red feather off my cat's toy pinned in my hair). It made me laugh, so that's what I wore. It was a very strange invite, and I don't really know the couple that well, so I felt a bit out of place. I sort of hung out with the people I knew and just drank free drinks and felt confused. For the occasion, I chose tequila sunrises. No one got toooo crazy. The partying seemed over by 9:30. Of course there could have been a million associated events to which I wasn't invited. I just donna know. Usually wedding receptions are my very favorite events. I love the happy love vibes, food, the drinks, the dressing up and the dancing to stupid music. I will say that this wedding was the best reception food I've EVER HAD (and the wedding cake was the best I've ever had).
I felt a bit more boring with Mark than usual. Not that he or I care. It was just a sedate, sit around weekend (and those always have a tinge of "you could be studying and finishing your school projects, kristen") God, I would really like to be at the wedding reception right now: those crab cakes! Today, I just brought a bag of homeade cookies from last night. So all I've had from dawn until now is chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. It sounds great until you've had ten in a row.
