First off, the people at our table for the wedding consisted of me and Nancy for about an hour and a half till the librarian and her husband showed. The nurse and her husband never came and neither did the Alicia Jimenez family. As you can see, t...

Revision: I wrote the bottom part of this post about 20 minutes before the other teacher, aka the only other person on my team, called me to tell me she was quitting. I don't know what this means for me. The job that she and I do is enough work f...

The Michael Jackson I will remember made music for the world to enjoy. His work has always been timeless and it's a legacy that will live on forever. He is the only artist that everyone in our family liked. We dedicated a whole Christmas program...

being the "other woman" again

2009-06-14T22:24:38Z

Phil and I had our first real (aka minus his gf) hangout yesterday. And we went ring shopping. So I got asked if I was the lucky girl or who's this for or when are you getting married at least ten times yesterday. Mostly I said, "I'm just helping...

the grass is greener

2009-06-10T15:08:04Z

The days where I wish I lived in San Diego are coming more often now. Yesterday was one cousin's 21st birthday and they all threw her a surprise party. Today is another's high school graduation. Last week, I really wanted to be there for Missy in...
