Long time no write...

I can't believe I haven't updated since July 3rd. Lots of things have been going on I suppose. Preschool is done for the summer! Yay! I was so ready for a break. So now I'm back to nannying 700 hours a day. But I like the money so I can't complain. Latrice and I went to New York this past weekend. It was so much fun. We were only there for about 36 hours, but we packed a lot into those few hours. Photo evidence as follows...

My new tattoo! I love it!

So all in all I feel it was a pretty good trip. A little lunching, a little partying, and getting slightly more tatted up are all the makings for a damn good weekend.

Let's see...in my real life, not just my weekend party life, things are going pretty well too. Work is going well, I'm getting paid A LOT more right now. I'm going to California in a few weeks to finally see my family again. That should be good, I actually miss them a bit right now. The CEO and I are doing very well :) I really like him a lot. He just seems like a really good guy and when we're together things are just always laid back and fun. Hopefully I'll be seeing more of him in the future. We're supposed to be going shopping soon so I can help him pick some new stuff for his house. His house is nice, but the floral stuff has to go. That would be like me keeping black leather furniture around. Yuck! On the hair front, I'm totally in love with my hair now. I don't love that it takes me over an hour to twist it, but the end result just keeps getting cuter! I'm excited to have my mommy straighten it and see how long its gotten. Going natural has seriously been the best thing for me. Now that I've been weave free for a while, I can whole heartedly admit that it was some tacky looking security blanket I was wearing on my head for no good reason. I look way better with my hair like this. It also probably does hurt that when I'm laying down watching tv or talking with the CEO he likes to play with it :) Perhaps another day I shall devote a whole post to my hair feelings, but right now I need lunch. Gotta go. Be back when I jack some more internet!

Heyyyy

So as usual I'm at the library using the internet. Will I ever get mine turned back on?!? One day I suppose. I'm feeling a little tired right now. I had to come here to print out my ticket to Philly for tomorrow. Latrice and I are going to see Tyria. It should be a fun weekend, a little impromptu trip seems to be just what I need. I've been a little scattered lately and working on this new enrichment class thing has got my mind reeling pretty much 24/7. And then I keep thinking about NEA stuff too. There's just so much stuff that I'd like to do, but I feel like just need to sit down, take a moment, and then get started. I think that is my one downfall. I want to do so many things, good things, things that would really make a difference, but I get too caught up in the ideas and forget to lay a really good foundation sometimes. Good example. HU SEA. Blah, don't even want to talk about that. I mean the freaking SLC was in DC this year and did we have any representation? NO. Way to drop the ball Ash. Hopefully the stuff I give to Dr. Bond will help out though. I really wish I hadn't watched that documentary about that Baltimore high school. I'm starting to feel like I have the bug again. LoL not that bug...like AIDS. Not that AIDS is funny, I just mean the high school teaching bug. Okay really, I need to get a grip. But yeah, then I was reading about Ron Clark and got all inspired. I'm feeling a little Michelle Pfieffer-ish now. I don't know what I'm going to do. But I'd better figure it out soon. Well I gotta go do a little more research and then head home to pack. I'll update soon.
