  In deep like :)
So, after last night, I am in deep like with Chris. I am just going to hope and pray to God that things work out, and that Chris is included in his plan for my life. We had the best time hanging out yesterday watching movies and then last night at the concert. He is sooo affectionate, caring, thoughtful, funny, attentive, and so far everything I seem to need. Last night he even offered to go to church with me today. LOVE IT! He said alot of sweet things that I think I'll keep private and between us...I need to take that approach more with this relationship (along with not overanalyzing things), and I am going to try HARD. I am just going to pray and pray, and let God take charge of the relationship. Keep checking back for updates! He said last night that he wanted me to come up this week a couple of times because he is going to be in Miami this coming weekend so I am sure there will be lots more to tell.....
Have a great week!

  Next, please!
So, as you can probably tell, I have a new flava of the month LOL. His name is Chris, and he lives north of me by about 30-45 minutes. Anyway, we've been chatting on and off since November, and finally had our first date this past Saturday.
When he came to get me he brought me the prettiest yellow rose, which I was quite impressed with. Once we left, we went to an improv comedy theatre (which was SOOO funny) and then to eat at this cool tapas place a few blocks over. We discovered over the course of the night that we have stuff in common...country music, kenny chesney concerts, religion, similar backgrounds....just felt comfortable with him, too. As he was dropping me off at my place he asked me out for this coming Saturday, which I accepted. He said cool and that we'd talk later.
Well, the next day he sent me a text message saying he had a great time hanging out with me the night before, that it was fun. SO SWEET! Anyway, when I talked to him later he asked me out for one night through the week. I accepted and suggested Tuesday, which he agreed to. So last night I made Stouffers lasagna (making = I had the SOOO hard task of turning the oven on, taking the lasagna out of the box, and putting in the oven he he), and we watched American Idol. When he showed up last night he brought a movie that we had planned on watching ,and me an apple he he. HOW CUTE IS THAT?! We had a great time just eating, hanging out, and watchinig the Idol premiere. As he was getting ready to leave, he said he was just going to leave the movie he brought here for the next time he came over, that maybe we could watch it then. He also asked me out for Friday if my friend and I weren't getting together. See, I had told him earlier that I needed to hang out with City Penguin this week sometime since we had wanted to last week, but it was just so hectic. Well, today he asked me about Friday again, and I told him CP and I had plans already. He was like that's cool. He told me that if I wanted to I could come up early on Saturday before we go to the place in M. that we are going to (it's like 5 minutes from his house). He even volunteered to come and get me!!! He was going to drive all the way down here just to pick me up and turn right around to go back to his place. SWEETHEART! He really is. Every day I get a text message or call...the text messages say things like have a great day or hope you are having a great day. Little yet sweet things like that mean alot, ya know? Just like the rose and apple :)
So I am sure you're curious as to what happened to A. Well, I went over there Sunday night and watched him drink and get STONED. Yes, I said STONED. Nice huh? At least I got warmed up leftovers to eat huh? I mean, if you do that sorta stuff, fine. It's not my place to judge. However, I can choose not to date someone that does that stuff. I want a good, clean guy that will go to church with me, help keep me a good and moral person... So, yeah, no more A. He is even outta the phone...he he We KNOW that is a big deal coming from bellsouth here LOL
Oh, and I saw Ch Sunday for lunch. As we were leaving, he said it was good to see me and that if I was in town this weekend to call him. I am glad I saw him...It made me realize that I was over him, us :)
So I can't WAIT for the weekend...get to see my BFF and Chris...GOOD TIMES!!! :)

  RE: goin' out..on a school night!
Okay, so let me set ya straight first on a few things LOL...I am a blonde, I am NOT usually good with directions, and can be absent-minded. So....with all those things coming into play , I couldn't find where A. was playing last night!!! ARGH!!! LOL Kinda funny, too.
I was on the right road, but couldn't find the bar. FRUSTRATING! After a while I gave up...I said to myself " I was out the effort to drive up here, I can't find it, I am going home..." I figured that he had given bad directions or whatever. WELL, at work my friend E. told me that she thinks if I had kept going down from where I was I would've seen it. Then we got to thinking that maybe I should've taken a left, not a right, off the exit like A. told me to. Either way all I remembered him saying was the name of the road, take a right off the exit, and that it was in a Kroger shopping center. I found a Kroger, but no bar. So as my friend E and I were discussing this this morning, she mentioned the name of another bar that is by where I was looking for, and I was like"man! now I remember him mentioning that place!" LOL I SHOULD'VE remembered that, and HAD I, I would've found him.
I ended up leaving him a voicemail saying I saw all these other places besides the one where he was at, that I was going home, and to call me. Should make for an interesting call LOL


On another note, I HATE LESSON PLANS!!! I HATE WHEN NOT GIVEN A MODEL TO GO BY FOR SOMETHING!!! I HATE HOW INADEQUATE MY BOSS CAN MAKE FEEL SOMETIMES!!! ARGH!!! I had my lesson plans for last week and felt good about them. I didn't write some things down that we do every day (all year) down this one week (mountain math and character ed, which is morning work) ,and I get my lesson plans checked. CRAP!!! Today she sent me an email about them. When I went to see her she was like "I know you teach more than that, gotta write everything you do down. .." CRAP! Never mind that I had GREAT concept maps for my lessons, or used some good lessons from my learning focused books (tweaked a little bit). She also was like "you have to be detailed" Well, you should see the model she FINALLY gave me to go by. 7 PAGES WORTH TYPED FOR ONE WEEK!!! CRAP!!!!!!!! Plus, I left off what I was doing for small group. Well, me knowing my students, I knew I needed to do timed drills. Their accuracy is great, they read slowly though. So I remember thinking that I would add a quick sentence to my plans that said "...timed drills with story___________...." I forgot in the craziness of the holidays. I showed her them though...heck we were DOING them when she came into my classroom to check my plans.
Am I mad for no good reason, or is she being a little picky? Why can my leaving 2 little things off get that email + my plans for this weekcheked, yet co-workers that can't have STATE LAW, MANDATED MEETINGS ON THEIR STUDENTS WITHOUT HER GETTING ON THEM AND GIVING THEM A DEALINE barely get anything said or done. She doesn't stay on them with stuff like that, yet sometimes I feel like she does me. Why me? RARELY does she have to correct me...I can think of 2 little things over the years. I am always up and teaching, unlike some teachers she is always alluding to in an email to everyone. I have my state mandated meetings on my students. I have my grades posted on time (unlike some). Again I ask...why me?
Oh, and did I mention that I was one of the FEW that had their plans ready and available when she checked last week?
Okay, needed to vent there. THANKS!!!!!!

  Goin' out..on a school night!
Yeah, I'll be regretting it in the morning probably, but A. called me up and wants me to come hear his band play up north of here, and I said ok. I am not doing anything, I can tape desperate housewives and grey's anatomy, and I wanna hear them play (and see him of course!) I can't BELIEVE I am about to go by MYSELF!! AHHH! Am I crazy fellow bloggers? My classy dame test did say I was a fruitcake...LOL
More later on my adventure tonight....

  New Flava' of the month...
So, his name is A., and I think I may have a new boy toy LOL KIDDING! A guy to date? possibly.We went out to eat last night at this mexican place and then saw the movie Dick and Jane. From there we went to this pub place in old town c, which was a kinda cool little place. Then we went back to his place and watched 13 going on 30 (very cool he wanted to watch this with me) and some other movie.
Anyway, he is not a perv like the other guy *big smile* and he was an absolute gentleman. We cuddled on the couch and everything, and he behaved himself. When I left he said to call him today, so I guess I will and we'll see what happens :)
Some little things I noticed about A.: 1. he LOVES to cuddle (yay!) 2. He is quite chivalrous...he even got on to me for getting out of the truck without waiting on him to open the door for me (that's a 1st! Usually they open the door to let ya in and never think about opening it to let you out). 3. He is pretty easy-going. 4. He is very sweet. 5. He has an adorable look about him. 6. He is quite funny. 7. He keeps a clean house.
I will keep you awesome bloggers posted. Until the next segment of the soap opera called my life (he he)...

  Suspense over....
Well, I heard back from Ch the other night....just hadn't gotten to post yet. So, nothing has changed, and won't ever. He wants that special woman, etc. but not right now. He is not ready and can't handle it. I told him that he had too much going on right now and that he wasn't "the one" after his email. And I mean that...he isn't...I realize that now. So oh well. I told him I just wanted him to know. We are still friends, and that's fine, great even. He genuinely does care so that never hurts ya know? So...next flava of the month step right up! LOL J/K.
I have a date tonight with a guy I had mentioned earlier. Not sure about the details, yet. Kinda looking forward to it...very funny and sweet guy :)
Work should be easy today-YAY!!!!!!!!!! We have a 1/2 day planning this momrning. WOO HOO :)
Ok, breakfast is done...more later.

  Easygoing I am not...
Right now anyway....not after the email I just sent Ch.
He had posted a blog on another website about how he just wants a great group of friends and great woman to follow him and trust him...well he KNOWS that basically I am the only that pays attention to his page and adds comments, etc. So I did it...I emailed him and laifd it all out there for him. AGHH! What the h*** did I just do?! Ruin a somewhat friendship or rekindle something great? THE SUSPENSE KILLS ME!!
When I say I laid it all out for him, I mean I told him I realized I loved him (and when I realized this fact), how he had that great woman that would've done whatever for him and trusted him, how I would have moved to the Windy City with him had he asked seriously and not just non-chalantly, how I only ended things becuse I felt there was no hope for a relationship based on things he had said (b/c he was moving), and the fact that self-respect got me a little bit, too. I couldn't continue to love him and let things continue to grow when he was just going to leave. He has flat out said no long distance, no my moving for him, not wanting anythinig serious...what the heck was I supposed to do? Continue to sleep over there, yet it was just going to abruptly end (according to him) when he leaves. No thank you...I have more self-respect than that.
He doesn't want me once he leaves (if he does leave and according to what he wants), yet he couldn't let me go while down here. I wanted something meaningful and wanted to try whatever to make us work, even if he did leave...I wanted him to realize that I was so special he couldn't let me go and for him to do whatever was necessary (whether he was here or the Windy City). The two DID NOT mix, ya know?
This has been him the whole relationship...doing and saying 2 totally different things. One minute he was out $120for me to go visit my family during a family emergency...then he said he just wanted someone to have fun with while here. ARGH!!! Remember when I said hated dating? See why? LOL
Oh me....I will DEFINITELY keep you posted!! Keep your fingers crossed!
Any wise words or anything else kindly appreciated! he he

  Random thoughts
So...back to the grind tomorrow with my lovely group of 2nd graders. Part of me wants to yell"yay!" since I will get to see my kids and get back into a routine. The other part of me that is saying"darn it! I gotta go back..." is worried about getting ready for the standarized test we take in April, and all the craziness that is going to become a part of my life again after a short vacation. The craziness being from controlling my ever smart yet energetic group, plus the fact that work is going to be busy and we will be swamped ! Oh, the joys of teaching he he :) Seriously I do love my job...venting is just theraputic he he.
As for the update on my soap opera-esque love life...well I went out with the guy I had a lot in common with and was excited about last night. I learned REAL quick that as nice as he is, he is not only thinking with his head but another part of himself, if you get my drift. WHY ME?! lol I blew the partier off last night for dinner...Oh, and Ch and I talked tonight. He is really struggling with whether or not to stay here in the peach state (this is why I broke up with him). We had a good talk, ending with him saying he would keep me updated in what's going on. Lots more too...not gonna bore you...
Should I want CH to stay after the way he treated me after my uncles's funeral? I have feelings both ways...But some other opinions actually help me think things through. I hope I don't run you all off though!!! LOL Everyone else is married it seems, minus me. I will admit..never been much with romantic relationships, so I am learning now ...
Alright, well I think I will call it a night.
Have a great day tomorrow everyone!
