I’ll skip the apology about not having written in so long, and just jump right into the good stuff.
- A (belated) WHOOT for last Tuesday! It’s exciting enough that Obama won, but the icing……my county is a BLUE DOT in a sea of Texas red. That’s right. Harris went for Obama. SWEET.
- Thanks to lots of walking, nightly meditation, and the no complaint thing I’m trying (with some struggles, admittedly), a healthier peacegrrl is emerging. Yes, I have PMS and I’m bitchy this week. Yes, I have an addiction to the “texas cinnamon rolls” in the vending maching in the teacher’s lounge (and judging by how fast those suckers sold out yesterday, I’m not the ONLY one…). However, I really do come home each day a little less exhausted and beaten than the day before. And it’s kind of nice that all of my clothes are fitting a little baggier these days.
- My sister is graduating from junior college tonight!!!! I’m so proud of her. She’s struggled through a lot in the past decade–getting sick, having to leave high school, busting her ass to whip through the GED exam, dating a scumbag, and finding and marrying the love of her life. Then she had a baby, and two months later decided to go back to school AND work. And now she’s putting on a cap and gown for the first time. She’ll never admit how excited she is, but she’s glowing…and rightly so. Way to go sista!!!
- I might have a date this weekend. I having the feeling it’s Mr. Right Now as opposed to Mr. Right, but I’m psyched to be getting back out there. Wish me luck!
That’s about all I’ve got for now. I hope everyone who’s still reading this is well and happy!
