Because I haven't embarrassed myself enough on this blog.

A recent tweet from the lovely Metalia said this: You know what’s depressing? Walking into a salon, and employee is all, “eyebrow?” and you’re thinking, “no, bitch, pedicure! PEDICURE!”

This totally made me laugh out loud, because I had a similar experience, which was incredibly horrifying and I believe it deserves a mention here, since hey, I like to humiliate myself.

Andrew and I went for a mani-pedi. OK, he

I've been ASSESSED..again.

Well, today was my second assessment for my gym. As I mentioned earlier this week, it’s been a crappy week where I’ve seen few results, thanks to the joys of being a girl and the shitty knee injury. I was really, really discouraged last night by the fact that I feel like I’ve seen such few results on the scale as of late.

Anyways, I refuse to post what I

Crank That Stanky Jerk Legg

Today was the last day of school, and it was awesome. My students came all dressed up and looked absolutely darling…so grown up! Honestly, there are no words I can say for how much I adored my kids this year. Saying goodbye nearly shattered me and there were lots of tears on both sides. I was so honored and touched by what students had to say. I felt so loved

Everybody Hurts

Before I met Andrew, I was quite a serial dater. I had been in two serious relationships close to one another, so I was ready for some fun, silly dates. The truth is, I could write an entire blog based on my horrid dates and the losers I encountered, many specifically thanks to one friend who shall remain nameless who was always introducing me to “someone she knows would be

Determi-KNEE-tion

Haha. That title is super lame, I know. But, since I got 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night and have the world’s most raging headache right now, I really don’t care.

Anyways, how’s your week going? I’ve been lost in a blur of end of the year work, yearbooks, lesson planning, summer planning and writing 103 notes to my precious students, which makes me cry and feel all sad

Why you so wish you were my boyfriend…

Andrew:

Andrew: you’re fun

me: also, this girl never wears pants. i think i’m going to stop wearing jeans.

103 Goodbyes

I’ve been in the worst mood the past few days, feeling really sad and alone and out of sorts. The same thing struck me last year at about this time, and thankfully I can be a little bit more aware of what it is. I really think that most people picture teachers celebrating at the end of the school year, completely delighted to be free of the classroom. And while

Things I Can't Live Without…

After last weeks list of things I don’t understand and having seen lots of Do or Die list posts and other 10 Essentials type posts, I thought I’d let all you dear readers know the things that really, truly make me tick and feel really, really happy.

1. Coffee. Yep. It’s a daily thing. A need. I have a french press at home and a small coffee pot in my

My newly-discovered talent

This week has been kinda craptastic for a few reasons, namely work stress and my own weird bout of grumpiness for seemingly no reason at all. It’s been a real struggle to get myself to the gym, because when I get home, I’d much rather just lay on the couch in a pool of nothingness. I’m slowly learning that the gym really makes me feel a lot better, mentally and

Non-sequiturs

A few unrelated bits of news:

—The good: I’m down 5 lbs. since my weigh-in last Tuesday. I only have 7 more days in the classroom. It’s Wednesday, which means I’m halfway through this dreadful week. I made a workout mix that I really love.

—The bad: My students are turning in research papers tomorrow, which means grading up the wazoo. It’s only Wednesday. I’m super sore.

—The ugly: A
