Just a few thoughts

Okay so I'm at the library this afternoon, so I thought I'd do a little blogging. I'm a bit tired today, the CEO is throwing off my sleep schedule like you wouldn't believe! That's a story for a different day I suppose though. But yes, today the CEO and I were talking about iPods and playlists, etc and he was basically saying that my shuffle sucks. But thats only because he can't fully appreciate the beauty of a playlist that goes from Gin and Juice to Hit Me Baby One More Time to Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair. Hmph! I think my iPod plays that way because it reflects my randomness, like it knows me. My good friend Fanny Pack seems to think her iPod has its own personality as well, her name is Tina. Actually speaking of Fanny Pack, you should check out her blog, its pretty awesome and puts my crappy little ramblings to shame, but I love her so I will show her love. Anyway, I was thinking about iPods knowing you and such and when I was at the CEO's house this morning, his was on a heavy rotation of Snoop (yes, my lover) and Chrisette Michelle. Interesting mix right? And then he comments, I guess my iPod must know you're here :) I heart him just a little, can you tell? Anyway, all this has a point, I promise. So I've been thinking about music lately and what some of my favorites are. Now, I'm no hardcore thug, but from time to time, I enjoy a good street anthem. Those of you who know me well, know that I frequently wake up blaring I'm So Hood. My new current favorite is Put On by Jeezy and Kanye. How can you not love that song?? It makes me feel all hype and hard like I'm really cool and from the streets. And when it gets to Kanye's verse I rap along as if my oh so sheltered Orange County life truly parallelled his. Does that make me some kind of fake thug? I hope not...For your listening enjoyment, I will have that song on my page for a while. Crap, I actually want to write more, but I have to babysit tonight. Oh well. Be back eventually!!

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.

Grrr

I'm feeling very grumpy right now! I'm not sure why. I'm probably just really tired. I went out last night and clearly stayed out too late. And then woke up way too early. And now its 10 pm and I'm grumpy beyond words. I had a fabulous evening though. We got free drinks the entire night at Tom Tom which is always a plus. Then total icing on the cake, The CEO and his friends ended up coming to Adams Morgan so we got to hang out. LoL too bad I was so drunk I don't remember most of it, but the parts I do remember were very good. He's super nice. :) His friends were enamored with Brittani, but as usual, she wasn't feeling them. She was mad because Pete had on a white tee. Really? Who gives a crap, but whatevs. I was so tired when I got up this morning and my neck was hurting really bad. I suppose I was doing that damned head swinging dance. Even at this late hour my head still hurts. I don't even know why I started writing this entry. I'm too tired to finish with anything worth while. Blah. I shall write again later. :(

Just a quickie

So I've thieved another internet connection for a bit today. The little girl I babysit is sleeping so I am now free to get my internet doings done. I had 73 emails today. Even after I deleted all the crap, I still had 40ish that actually needed to be read. Blah. I'm having terrible allergies today. Today was a GREAT day because I didn't have to work at the preschool. The air conditioning was broken, thus no school. Hooray! I should have exercised this morning, but instead I didn't even really get out of bed until 10 something. Then I cleaned my closet today. That made me quite happy. It also reminded me that I reallllly need to go shopping. I need to pack away my winter clothes. With it being 99 degrees, I don't think its necessary for me to still have sweaters hanging in the closet. I have a decent sized bag of stuff to donate to Goodwill too. So, today is day 3 of not talking to the Designer. I think he's gotten the hint. I'm quite glad of that so I don't have to tell him to sod off myself. Sod off? I think it was that book I was reading...I keep having these British phrases in my head. Whatev. Soooo...the CEO and I have both confessed that we like each other. Like I think we both literally said, "I like you, I like you too." Apparently we are both in sixth grade. Its nice to like someone who likes you too. And not to feel any pressure about anything. I haven't felt that in a long time. Maybe never. There was pressure with Kevin, there was pressure with Charles, with the Designer...I don't think there was pressure actually, I think that he was just filling a need that I had at the time. I don't know. But even if I think hard about it, I can't think of anything thats comparable to this. And even if it becomes nothing, I totally love whats happening now. Plus it gives me hope that not every relationship or dating situation or whatever has to suck. Okay, I'd love to keep blathering on about my crushing, or the inner workings of my life, but I gotta get some stuff done before the clock strikes 8:30 and *poof* I'm turned back into an internet-less loser.

I'm baaaaaack...For today at least

Yikes! I haven't written in a looooong time. That could be due to a few things; one, I work like a slave. Two, I no longer have internet access in my house :( Being an adult is the pits! Oh well, eventually I'll turn it back on, but referring back to number one, my slave like work conditions allow me very little time to watch tv or play on the internet anyway. Just sucks because I can't update my blog at work. That would be a little awkward. So anywho, I'm at the library today, soaking up their free wireless connection which is pretty freaking sweet. On a very odd side note, there is this old Asian man in the library that keeps farting. Yes, farting! Like its nothing. Literally walking about the quiet library pooting away like its no big thing. I hope I don't do things like that when I get old. Today I was supposed to go to the museum. I still have time, but I think I'd rather get a pedicure. My mom randomly sent me $20 in the mail so I have some money to get one. The Designer gets off work at 3 (supposedly) today and wants to hang out. I'd really rather not, but because I'm so stupidly nice sometimes, of course I said yes. We'll see how that pans out. I would much rather be with the CEO. Not just today, but any day. I'm lame, but I really think I'm starting to like him. He's just a really great guy. We're into a lot of the same stuff. He has his life very much together, which totally motivates me work harder too. And we make jokes about fannypacks, so what's not to love? LoL Hopefully I'll get a chance to travel to Timbuktu where he lives and hang out with him today. Maybe not. Who knows? Methinks I will blow with the wind today. I am STARVING right now, which may be why my thoughts are becoming so staccato. Hmmm...Maybe I should eat before my pedi. Okay I will not bore the masses with a crappy blog post, so I shall end this. I'll write some more when I can get on the internet again. The masses? Who am I kidding? Nobody reads this freaking thing. LoL I'm such a loser

A little early

I really wish I'd never lost my ability to sleep in. I mean, if I stay out all night, until 4 or 5 am then I have no problem sleeping until 12. But last night was a relatively early night so I've been up since 8:30ish. I called my dad to say happy birthday. I wanted to be the first person to call (I'm oddly competitive about things like that) so I called at like 6 their time. And I was first! Go me! My dad is so adorably simple. I asked him what he was going to do today and he says "oh just sit around here and drink some iced tea." Really dad? LoL I'll be glad when I'm old enough that a glass of iced tea will be all I need for my birthday. Until then though, I don't see my birthday antics subsiding any time soon.
I have no idea what I'm going to do today. Maybe catch up on my tv shows. I watched Ugly Betty when got home last night. I was SO good. OMG I love that show. I missed it on Thursday because of the party. I so much fun that night. I love being around all my friends. They ate all my lasagna which made me feel good. I realized that I really enjoy cooking for people. As long as I don't have to do it day in, day out. It makes me feel good. And I think the ice cream sundae thing went over well. Too bad I have that huge bucket of ice cream in the freezer. And its really yummy ice cream too. I'd better be running a lot this week to make up for the ice cream that I know I'll be eating. I love how we impromptu decided to go to Tom Tom even though I clearly had to work the next day. Oh well. Great fun was had by all. I have pictures to prove it!

Yes we were doing the Cupid Shuffle in my bedroom. LoL

Awww me and Johnson. Good times at Tom Tom
I guess I could post more pictures but I don't really feel like it. Maybe another day. I guess I should go rummage around and see if I can get some breakfast. I'm pretty hungry. If anything happens on this quiet Saturday, I'll be sure to write. Although it seems to be shaping up as a tv watching, book reading, hair washing day. But who knows?
