camp this weekend
lets pray it doesn't rain

I haven't thought about what I'm doing for lent
but I know I'm not going to do the whole
"i give up myspace/facebook/drinking/gambling/X-type of food/" deal
I want it to be more meaningful. more spiritual.
I want it to be something I can do, not just for lent, but throughout my journey.
I'll pray about it.


When you start to worry, pray about it.

hugs

me: What are you doing?
lily: I'm hugging you
me: why?
lily: because i love you

sometimes, it's the simple things that bring the greatest joys.

To find joy in simple things is something we so often lose as we get older. That's why I enjoy working with children. They find happiness in the simplest things. And I guess along the way, they remind me to appreciate the little things. So I guess that's my goal for this year. To appreciate what I have, especially the little things.

cough

there's an ant in my throat.



that is all.


I am determined to get up tomorrow to finish my work. But if, for whatever reason, I don't get up, you have permission to kick my butt.

halfway through the week

press on world, press on.

go away tom

Andrew's doing some school work, so instead of laying around and bumming while Hefty is working hard, I figured I could get some more work done. So I decided to do some edel reading/hw. I'm almost done. But I'm tired. So I'm going to head off to bed.

Last Friday, Andrew and I met up with Henry at Boiling Crab. My crawfish craving needed to be satisfied. And since it is, I won't be back for another year or two or three.

Andrew wasted a lot of ketchup.

I don't remember what happened Saturday. I had the kids make Valentines day cards for their parents. After mass, Andrew picked me up to go eat dinner. We wanted Carolinas, but it was crowded. DUH. So we went down to another Italian place on Chapman and something. haha. I don't remember what it was called. But it was good :)

Sunday, ugghhhh, Sunday. Let's just say I owe Andrew a fancy dinner. haha. I had to buy and new battery for my car, so there goes 80something friggin dollars. Andrew took like an hour and a half taking out my starter only to find out that it works perfectly fine. Thank you andrew :) I'm still not exactly sure what the problem was, but Andrew and his dad sure did save me a lot of money.

I made it to life night. Took pictures (I have become the unofficial photographer with my canon sd 850is hahaha). Some crazy asian lady stole theresa's phone. She came in asking where the bathroom was, came into the kitchen asking what we were doing, asked if she could have a cookie, took a cookie, left and came back again. UGH. crazy asian lady. Sean called her a "crazy vietnamese lady" , but I got defensive because she didn't look or sound vietnamese. hahaha. Anyways, we went back to the life house, and started to dig around. Apparently the lady used it to call and talk to somebody for 3 minutes. We called the number and he got really defensive. He said it was a home number and that he would ask around the house to see if anybody knew anything. He, of course, did not call back, so we called him, and of course the mother aasdfas didn't pick up. what has the world come to.

Anyways. Monday I did hw. played with lily and ben. took a few naps.

And today I did the same thing.

the end. good night. sorry for the typos.

OH OH OH!!

There's a CORE bbq at 2. Apparently, rain isn't going to stop us. I'm going to take a break from hw and eat if that's ok :) I need to go pick up some drinks.

my mom's making pho. It's been simmering since yesterday :) It's the perfect weather for pho.

I have much to blog about. But in the mean time, stay safe and warm.

thank you

Andrew :)

"Happy Unimaginative, Consumerist-Oriented, and Entirely Arbitrary, Manipulative and Shallow Interpretation of Romance Day!"

But I guess with the economy these day, Valentines day isnt so bad. So go ahead. spend some money! 

I use to love love love valentines day as a kid. (Not that I HATE valetines day now. I guess there's a history behind it that I do not remember and do not want to read about right now) I loved picking out the perfect valentines day card for my class. Making sure my friends get the prettier ones. Decorating our valetines day boxes in class. I remember I couldn't wait to get home to read the cards and eat the  massive amount of candy. And then jr.high and high school came. And that ended. haha. That's why I want to teach elementary. It's just more fun. Plus I'd rather work with the little kids than big kids I guess. But everyone's different. I know a couple of people who are terrified of kids and would rather work with the older ones. But in the end, all you need is patience and understanding when it comes to working with children. big or small. what the heck was i talking. valentines day. yes. Sorry. happy valetines day. Go spend some money. help our economy. haha. 

I have the symtoms of a cold. or the flu. But don't worry, I'm not sick :)

I've been drinking plenty of fluids, mainly warm lemonade-ish water. Because it helps with my throat. Plus its too cold for regular water. 

I'm watching dirty jobs. I should be preparing for my lesson though. I'm just waiting for this headache to go away. No ones home. i hope they dont get in n out for lunch again. I'm a little tired of burgers. haha. 

OK. i'm done. sorry for the bad grammar and puctuation. The bright screen is not helping with the headache. Stay warm! 

rain

I'm glad it's raining and all.
but does it have to be this weekend?

Stay safe and warm :)

sweet potato fries. yum.

I can't resist a mirror picture :) this particular one was at Laser Quest.

I'm trying to remember what happened last week. But nothing comes to mind. This past weekend went by too quick.

Gosh, it's already February.

I remember now.

Last Friday after school, I met up with Shilpa, Ricardo, and Jessica at Guppies. I was just craving the toast. But, like last time, I had to finish up the strawberries because no one wanted to finish it. I didnt want to waste strawberries :)


On Sunday, Bao, Huy, Ashley, my dad, and I went to Brandon&Tylers birthday party at Kaleidoscope. It was at the same place as last year; Laser Quest. two-story laser tagging. . .place. I SUCK. died every other 5 seconds. but whatever, it was fun.

Schools been easy breezy so far. I have my Tuesdays and Thursdays off again, which is nice.

I tried the sweet potato fries at school. It was goooood :) Not something I would eat everyday, but every once in a while would be nice. I hate spending money at school. I hate spending money on books. argg.

There's a confirmation 2 retreat this weekend. I'm more prepared this time around. . . I think.

I'm tired. good night.
