I apologize upfront to any men who read my blog. Today's entry won't make a lot of sense (well at least this first part anyway).
So I have this job interview tomorrow and as per usual, I like to make sure that my fingernails look appropriate. I know that some of you think that I think about the weirdest things sometimes but I wouldn't want to hire someone to work with my children who had dirty unkempt fingernails.
Anyway.
I am happy to report that my fingernails are about 3/4 of the way to being all natural again. (This is the part that won't make sense to men.) I had the acryllics removed back in May or April, I don't remember and they are in the process of growing out again. I can see that last little ridge in them that tells me where the last time I had them filled was.
Now watch and I will get a call from Naomi and we will go to our favorite stalker nail dude and get them done all over again. Maybe I will just get my toes done. The little jewels on my toes from the last pedicure, along with the nail design, need to be updated. Although I have to confess that I love the color.
In other news...
Lukin is staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house tonight. I have that interview in the morning and we were all out tonight together at a Farmer's Market so he just went home with them. It made me a little bit sad because he has been with me every night since school got out and so it was a little weird to let him stay there. I felt like I was abandoning my child, even though he loves Grandma and Grandpa and they love him. I wonder how Sonny feels when Lukin and I go to North Dakota for a week at a time?
I better go. I need some sleep. I am still exhausted from staying up late last night trying to get caught up with reading all my email and updating my blog. Now I need to find time to reply to some real emails (and not just forwards) and stuff. Yeah. I'll get right on that.

Plethora
It was brought to my attention last week that my sister is tired of reading the same blog title and the same entry. She wants me to write a new one for her to read. So my mind is spinning, I haven't written in here since like the 6th and so much has happened that I don't know where to start. (Don't get me wrong, you will all live without the details) but Stacie wants something new to read...and whatever Stacie wants...baahhhh-ha-ha-ha-haaa! Sorry Stacie, couldn't even do that for ya without laughing...
Well, school got out. The next week consisted of 2 interviews, one Tastefully Simple Party, one dental appointment, one spa appointment, one eye appointment, and lunch with Marisa (yay Marisa you made the blog!)
On Friday the 15th, after the second interview, we finished packing before taking the 2:30 or so flight to GF. We got some stuff at Target for L-train and then headed up to big Cav. Sonny went home on Sunday because he had/has to work every day until July 7th. On Wednesday, Stacie, Mom, Lukin and I went to Grand Forks. It was a long day of shopping but eventually we finished and I picked up keys from Amanda and headed over there. Unfortunately, the pack and play and I exchanged some unpleasant words and I ended up holding Lukin until Amanda got home from work. Lukin felt it was important for everyone to wake up at 4:30 am, even if only to let us know that he was there.
Thursday, the boy and I went to Hillsboro to see Teresa and the girls. We were there for 3 hours or so and I was so tired when we left. Maybe it was because we got up so early or maybe it was from trying to keep up with Lukin and her two girls (ages 3 and 5). Either way, it was fun to see my 'nieces' and get updated pictures of them.
Friday and Saturday we all hung out at home. Stacie apparently did not have hopping things to do uptown. I was kind of half expecting her to ask me to uptown with her on Saturday since Mom and Dad were home to watch the boy, but she didn't and that's okay.
Sunday we came home and Monday I had a physical and today we just lounged. There we are all up to speed on my life.
Misc. details:
**For Stacie: Remember how Kim did my hair straight and sassy? Well, it's curly and I don't have time for straight sassiness. But I have to say, it's pretty damn cute anyway.
**For Stacie (again): The title for this blog is dedicated to your vocab class you took in college. Yay, your class!
**Still looking for a job. Have another interview set up for this week. I don't understand this profession, but I swear that if there is such a shortage of speech people, that you wouldn't cut someone's job to .2 and then expect them to happily stay. But whatever.
**Doesn't get much more MISC. than this...I don't like comedians that are cowboys. There's just something wrong about it. Amanda is probably chuckling thinking about me trying to watch comedians who are cowboys. Maybe that is why I don't like them. I don't really know.
That's about it for tonight. I am tired but still have to compose an entertaining email. I should just send a link to this entry. I do want to talk about the concept of psychology (as if it's a concept), but I will save that for another day.

Summer and still tired
Well, we are officially on day 2 of summer break. I am tired today. It could be due to a number of reasons: 1) I had a busy day yesterday. 2) I stayed up late watching a movie when I should have just gone to bed. 3) I have my period and that always makes me tired.
Nevertheless, regardless of how tired I am, I am trying to squeeze as many appointments as I can into this week. I believe we are leaving on Friday to head to Cavalier for a week (L-train and I will be staying a week, Daddy is just helping us get there then he has to come back and work).
However, I have been able to get myself a hair appointment, a massage appointment, and an eyebrow appointment all scheduled for today and tomorrow, so that is pretty cool. I still need to make one more appointment to see a doctor so that I can get a prescription refilled. I should really do that instead of dinking around on the computer.
Well, I do have a couple things I need to accomplish before my dental appointment this afternoon anyway. Better get to them.

Bittersweet...more sweet than bitter, bitter than sweet.
So today is my last official day at Dakota Ridge. I have spent the day trying to get everything cleaned out and up. I have rearranged an entire bookshelf and cleaned out cupboards full of materials and condensed them down into three shelf units. I know that the person who works here next year will never know all the organizational things I did here to make their job easier. But whatever.
I want to work another hour or so but I needed a break from all the cleaning. I actually have had breaks every two hours or so. One to go to my other school, the next to have lunch that one student's parent brought, the next to meet with the principal, and then now. I am trying to get all my computer stuff taken care of. After I write this, that should wrap it up. I have cleaned the whole computer out.
Better go. Hope you enjoyed the last entry from Dakota Ridge School.

Oh yeah, my weekend.
I don't know if I remembered to talk about my weekend. We went to San Francisco for the Twins game. I can't believe how cold it was. I have always had this apprehension about going to California because I didn't want to be that hot. Quite the contrary! I was quite cold the whole time. I wore a tank top under a shirt with 3/4 sleeves, then I brought my jean jacket and had to buy a fleece jacket to wear too!! I can't even know how Sonny got through the whole day in shorts. Brrrrr...
There was a lot of walking involved. Mostly, the walking all happened in regards to getting lunch. It was so freaking far to walk to get to lunch. Sonny didn't think we would have to walk as far as we did. I was so frustrated that I was a real joy to be around.
That's all I have to say about that. There was a bit of walking involved with going to the game but of course the outside of a baseball/football field is going to be rather large. That wouldn't have been so bad if we wouldn't have walked so much just to have lunch.
Contrary to what Sonny thinks, I did have a good time on our whirlwind trip.

A baby, a cough, and a mortar board
Last entry's song title: Good Things by The Bodeans (One of Sonny's favorite songs)
So I found out that my ex-fiance had a baby. Okay, he didn't have the baby, his wife did. And you know something, I don't really care. I mean, Congratulations on having a baby, but whatever. I remember when I found out that he got married. I was taken aback a little because I didn't know how he could get married first, but I wasn't jealous. I'm not jealous that he (his wife) had a kid either.
When school gets out, I need to get myself to a doctor. I need to get a referal to an ENT, among some other things. The point of this paragraph, however, is that while I am there, I should see if they can figure out what is up with me coughing all the time. I don't feel sick, so why do I always cough? They may not know the answer. In fact, that may be a reason to see an ENT on it's own, aside from the ear issues I have been having my whole life.
What else? Today was graduation here at Dakota Ridge. I saw a couple people arrive all dressed up (must have been some parents) and I almost got teary-eyed. What a great day for those people, even though I didn't know who they were, to have their child graduate. I'm getting sentimental in my old age, or maybe it's just parenthood.
