After saying I wasn't going to go to Starbucks again until Monday, I went this morning. The scones were calling my name! I saw some cute things at Pier One, but didn't buy anything. Annual Satuday jaunt to Target, where I got a string of beaded garland. I wasn't able to put it up in my kitchen window as planned, so it's on my bookshelves instead. I want to go back and get the box of small ornaments and hang those from the grate-shelf in the kitchen window. I also put a string of lights in the window next to my desk, so those make me happy.
I should be grading papers, but instead I'm doing laundry, playing on the computer, and eating ice cream. Grading makes me sad. I try to remind myself that not all the kids do bad, some are really successful, but even those kids are kind of slacking off. Alas, I don't want this to become yet another depressing teacher post. Mmmmm, ice cream!
My apartment is a mess, and it is starting to drive me nuts. I pick things up here and there, but I need to do some deep cleaning. Ok, I'm looking around and it's not THAT bad. It's just when all my school work is spread out on the floor that it looks messy. Really, that area is organized. I just have to keep plowing through the piles I make.
I wish I had a church to attend. I have tried a few since I've been here, and nothing that I loved. Maybe I'm looking too hard for a group like I had back in CA. Yet, it was knowing people my age who were in the same life situation that made me keep going. I go to churches to check them out, and I sit, not talking to anyone. There's usually nothing wrong with the church itself, but if I'm going to go there and be alone week after week, I don't last long.
I wish I wasn't single. I wish for something else that I'm not going to get into at the moment.
Anyone else want some peanut butter cup ice cream? I have chocolate syrup too!
