Oy!

This goes for everything....

This week has been super slow. Boo. I'm not a fan. Clearly last week was awesome because it's so far behind me now. This week is old and lame. Time to move on. At least I now have a good idea of how to plan my classes. In fact that's what I'm avoiding right now! Funny how that works. (I disdain lesson planning)

My neck is crunchy. Yes, crunchy. I was in J. Crew yesterday and I must have adored a short with too much enthusiasm because I strained a neck muscle and now it's CRUNCHY. Whoa. And now I can't throw my head wildly in laughter for fear of the pain. Terrible, I know.

Katie and Travis get married Saturday! That is v. exciting for them and I can't believe it's already 7.7.07. I wish them great luck, joy, and many blessings. What fun kids!

Saturday I went to the pool. Then a kid pooped in it and that was the end of my day at the pool.

Still v. unemployed. T-minus 28 days and neither of us are gainfully employed. YIKES!!!! does not even begin to cover it. I do have an interview on Monday. Here's the catch: It's a position at a BED elementary school. Specifically BED + elementary could = mad craziness. Plus it's only one day a week. Complete bummer there. Though, I'm still checking it out and trying to keep positive. Sadly, every time I talk on the phone about not having a job I cry like a baby (but hide it well enough). We'll see where this goes.

My fan makes my ears do strange things. I don't know if this has happened to you, but every once in a while the air pressure in my room changes so much that it creates a back and forth sensation in my ears. Sort of like the vibraphone things. Is that correct? It goes back and forth, making it difficult to hear- it's like going deaf for a few seconds. V. strange indeed.

I just finished The Devil in the White City. If you have not read this book go out right now (and I mean right now) and purchase a copy. It is the best written historical book I've ever read. I'm sure some History snobs would have something to say about that, but I've read a ton of historical books and none compare. This was such an in depth and exciting book. It really drew me in and I could hardly wait to get back to it every night. Honestly it reads like a novel, but it's a historical book. Ooh, it's about the 1893 Columbian Exposistion held in Chicago. V. interesting. Not to spoil the book but Erik Larson reminds us of the things we take for granted today that were only introduced that year- and some of the connections and stories are top notch. Really a top book. Everyone should read!

T-minus 28 days!!!!!!! I am really, really, really ready to marry that Michael kid. Luckily I have the distractions of this five week course. While it lends to active work and not too much slack time I still have to finish up wedding things AND find a job all at the same time. Everyone in class thinks I'm crazy but super organized. I just nod in agreement. Some other wedding blips:
- Still is back in the Best Man shoes (yay!)
- I pick up my gown soon!
- I have been obsessing lately about whether this is going to turn out nice in the end or not. (Not sure where it's all coming from though)
- My daddy rented his tux. Talking to my pastor about my dad giving me away made me cry a little. I won't lie :)
- I've lost 30 lbs. I'm awesome.
- You do NOT want to see the list of things I have to get done in the next three weeks. YIKES again!!!
- I'm just getting anxious now and realizing I'll be Mrs. Michael Lyle v. soon. I can not wait to see my love (only two and half weeks until he gets here.)


Ok, I have much more to write about- but in another entry soon my friends. soon.
