im totally falling...timberrrrrrr

music, dancing, french humor and pop culture references?

could ANYTHING get better than that?

i submit that it can not!

tonight my dear friend amy and i went to see dirty rotten scoundrels at hale center theater. um...i freaking LOVED IT! i had heard a lot about it, but had not heard many of the songs, and i think its safe to say that i have a new favorite show. oh it was glorious. i was laughing so hard, i was crying...no joke. also, i may have sort of...okay....totally fallen in love with the guy who played freddy. (yes mother, i fell in love with another actor, and no i did not meet him in person...story of my life) he was great. fantastic. simply charming. im making kym go with me again in a couple weeks....maybe then i can meet freddy in real life...cha ching!

watch the promotional video, just ignore the commentary. thats not important. the SHOW is whats important! yes!

 

now excuse me while i go find a way to download the soundtrack...

and watch more videos on youtube.

ahhh i love the theater. cant wait to get season tickets!

p.s. happy birthday mr a-z. i bought an avocado in celebration!

the transformation of thoughts

"Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true."

premiums. deductables. and a bunch of mumbo-jumbo

YESTERDAY i got a job. a REAL teaching job! 4th grade baby! i jumped for joy! yelped a little bit and got super duperly over excited!

seriously, great news eh?

i feel pretty honored that out of all the applicants and interviewees, they picked me.

a freshly graduated 1st year teacher. wow-ee.

i celebrated with kym most of the day. we hit up the dollar movie (yummm. love me some chris pine). got some yummy lunch. then rented and watched what is quite possibly my new 3rd favorite movie. (i say that a lot dont i?) needless to say, it was a fabulous day, topped off with a silly fhe, and making a fool out of myself playing volleyball. awesome.

then at about 1:00 am. after i had been asleep for a good 45 minutes.

it hit me.

i have this huge responsibility now. this so called "adult" job.

eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

i suddenly  got extremely anxious and started mind-planning things. why? i dont know. its not like i have been given curriculum maps or guidlines, or a run down of what these kids have covered already, or anything for that matter yet, but all these ideas kept flooding through. and there was no way to stop them. i kinda freaked myself out. wondering if i have things that i will need in my classroom, or if the kids will be naughty. or what if they are weird. and blah blah blah.

finally i calmed down.

and fell asleep

. 

only to have psycho dreams of about 100 4th graders asking me question after question after question, about things i had no clue about. the 4th graders kept getting bigger and bigger and there were more and and more of them, and i kept shrinking. hum freaky much?

then i woke up and substituted in 6th grade.

and remembered that i really really really love teaching. and having my own classroom will be FABULOUS and i will be just fine.

and i got SUPER excited again. and all the teachers were SO excited for me 

and it was just great and dandy.

then i went to the district office and i signed about 13,325,324 papers.

and they handed me a ginourmous packet of insurance and benefits papers to fill out and return in 30 days.

and i looked at them funny.

and asked if i could call my mommy.

so i came home and watched ramona and beezus. ate a salad. and decided i would be an adult tomorrow when it was extremely necessary.

yay for LIFE!! love it! hahahaha

very VERY happy in the morning?

i wanted to blog about a particular dream i had last week...but didnt because it was a little silly. but once this dream came around AGAIN the other night, i knew it was blog worthy. so here you go...dont judge me

in my dream i was starting my level 3 practicum class. i walked in to a big room and was handed a piece of paper of where my assignment was. the paper said 2nd grade, teacher: WS so i went to this classroom and walked in and saw none other than Matthew Morrison (aka Mr. Shuester from Glee) now in my dream, he was just a regular teacher that was extremely delicious. and i heard triumphant love music just like in the movies. i went up to him to introduce myself and he grabbed me and gave me a big hug and kissed my forehead. i melted. then he began to call all the kids over and we went on a "magic carpet" ride where we sang songs and i got to meet all the kids. the last thing i remember was helping the kids do an activity with the giant parachute, and when we went under the parachute, he winked at me....

i was then awoken by my mom. i immediately texted kym and told her that i had never woken up that happy in my whole life.
im assuming she just laughed at me.
but i was indeed very happy

or so i thought

a few days later, i was even HAPPIER
apparently i really really like dreaming about matthew morrison and being a teacher, because the same thing happened again.

this time i was the student teacher and they were 5th grade students. i was teaching a science lesson on the solar system and one kid was telling me how his dad thinks there is an extra planet named pluto and he doesnt understand what he is talking about. so i begin explaining, and i look to the back of the room and there is matthew morrison looking at me and smiling at me. once again, i melt. i become very distracted and the kids start getting rowdy, but matthew morrison and i are still gazing into eachothers eyes... (i know, cheezy yes. can i help it, no)...then all of a sudden some kid throws an eraser and it hits me in the eye. i freak out and matthew morrison comes running over to help me. he tells me where the nearest bathroom is, and the next thing i know, im driving to a bathroom not being able to see with my eye gushing tears. eventually as im rinsing my eye out, he shows up and asks if im okay. i say yes, and he asks if he can look at my eye, as he grabs my face, he kisses my eye. i start laughing and then i realize that he is married to emma pillsbury (character on glee) and walk away from him. and he then laughs and says only on tv. he then grabs my hand. and we walk to his red jeep. no joke.
and that was the day i woke up extremely happy

p.s. season 1 volume 1 came today. i screamed and probably would have hugged the ups man if i would have seen him. but instead i just frightened my mom and sister.

you cant judge a person based on their dreams

dreams are weird.
sometimes you wake up completely freaked out
and just want your mommy.
sometimes you dont remember your dream at all.
sometimes you wake up laughing your bum off.
and wonder where on earth that came from.
last week i had one of those dreams.
i literally woke up,
turned off my alarm,
and broke into absolute laughter.
kym told me to blog about it...
so here i go

i was standing in this empty field of golden grass all alone. i decided to dance, because no one was there to see me. then all of a sudden, im flying through the air, superman style. im up in the clouds just flying through the sky, when i realize there are hundreds of other people flying too, but they are all on broomsticks. they are shocked that i don't have a broom, so they bombard me with questions as to how i do it, and just how magnificent it is.
next thing i know, im at hogwarts.
im walking through the halls of the castle when around the corner comes ron weasley and hermoine granger holding hands. they come up and give me a big high-five, and tell me how cool i am. then i turn and i see harry. (dont worry... he was a much cuter harry that daniel radcliffe is)
oh harry. it was just like in the movies, where the orchestra started playing and the scene got brighter.
pretty sure it was love at first sight.
we talked and he invited me out on his next mission. yes...his mission to try and destroy voldemort...again.
so i went.
there were dragons.
and there was a little old woman trapped on a bridge.
we saved her.
then voldemort ran away.
and i made-out with harry himself.
it was epic....and there were ACTUAL fireworks.

I woke up after this...the fireworks in my dream turned out to be the rain outside my window.
and so i laughed.
a lot.
