Don't tell anyone I said this until it's confirmed BUT I think it's a date! :-) He asked me if I wanted him to pick me up or meet there [date]. Even though it's totally out of the way I think he should pick me up. ;-)
I'm excited! I thought I would add I forgot how much fun I have talking to him.

Date or non-date?
Is it a date or a non-date? I really have no idea. Ok, so you may be wondering what I am talking about. About a year and a half ago I went on two dates with this guy who I was really excited about. But, he is super busy and was leaving that year to spend a year in a different state for his job. He is back and we got in touch again over facebook. We have been catching up and talking. It's been great. He asked me if I wanted to go to dinner and a movie. [Date] It's this Thursday. Which I'm pretty sure is a [non-date] night. I know his work schedule is crazy and he's always working or on call. I have decided I am not going to dwell on my date or non-date. I am just going to go and have fun and enjoy his company.
funkybrownchick.com "Coffee is the non-date date drink of choice. Asking someone to go for drinks, dinner and/or a movie with you clearly constitutes a “date”. Asking someone for coffee, on the other hand, doesn’t. Splitting the bill. That’s another non-date date activity. Allowing a guy to pay for the whole evening, on the other hand, sends the signal that you’re on a real date."
EEEEKKKKKKK I'm going on a date!!!! This will be my first date since Kevin (did I blog about that? We broke up in April. note to self: remove his pictures from the blog!) I will take cash just in case.

Irritated
I went to check my e-mail and this article caught my attention: Mom Dies at 69, Twins Orphaned.
She had her twins when she was 66 with the help of a fertility clinic. Of course they claim to not have known how old she was. But, I don't know if I buy it. Isn't the main motive of 'most' fertility clinics $$$. It makes me sad when I see or hear of people that are misusing fertility. I understand that for some women they have no desire to adopt. Although I don't really agree with it. We have stricter laws on getting and keeping your drivers licence than we do with using a fertility clinic. Why is it okay for me to go out and have 5 or 6 kids at the same time? Why is it okay to have children after retirement age? I just don't get it.

Official x 4
Some of this is old infomation. I am officially:
It's all kind of surreal. I am anxious and excited to be a teacher. At the beginning of this year I was only going to work in a certain school district/or city and for a certain grade. After all I had my other job so I wasn't going to switch jobs unless it was exactly what I wanted.
However, yesterday I gave my 2-week notice. I have been there for almost 11 years. I think applying for the position that I did not get was what really opened my eyes up to the idea of "what am I doing at this place?". I earned my degree and they didn't want to promote me. I dont want to waste anymore time applying for things and "hope" that something works out. So times are a changing. Now I'm going to be working for a school in a city I had never heard of in a grade that I had no 0 experience with.
Depending on how my school year goes will depend on what I will do in the future. Your first few years are a big deal. They make or break you. A lot of teachers only last a few years. If it does not work out (which i think it will) but if i doesn't....than I have looked into getting another bachelors degree in accounting or finance. Or maybe I could be a massage therapists. On TV they say I can make the same money in 3 days that there friends make in 5!!!! I'd sure love to rub my hands on some pimply fat rolls or see an old wrinkly man bum.
Kevin and I broke up. I think after your a certain age you don't put up with things. Did we have fun together? Of course he cracks me up. But I felt like our relationship would never move past where it was. We still talk. And I think I'm done with the 40+ men. I think my age range should always remain 25-37 (even when I'm 50). ;-)
My sister Heather comes back home next week from Germany. I have not seen her since she left a year ago. It will be so good to see her!
- Going to be a 1st grade teacher!
- Single!
- Gave my 2-week notice at my job!
- Going to see my sister next week!

Any ideas?
Today I found out that I will be a 1st grader teacher (I was hoping for 3rd since that is where I have the most experience). I have no experience with first graders (the only grade I don't have some kind of experience teaching).
I am really excited and a little overwhelmed with being a teacher all on my own, it was easy when I had my mentor teacher.
I now need to come up with a lot of different ideas and things that are age appropriate. I am scouring the Internet. Have you seen or heard anything cute/fun that 1st graders have done?

It's getting hot in here
but don't worry I'm not taking off my clothes...
This past weekend I went camping with some friends. We went up to Woods Canyon Lake. It was a lot of fun and I was COLD a lot! Now I am back home and the weather seems hotter than ever.
Only 3 more days of this weather on Thursday I am leaving to visit Michelle in lovely Portland. I cannot wait to go see her.

I've been waiting for this
Holy crap I am tired. I did want to get up early today so I can stop staying up till 3 am. I got super amazing news today. They place I interviewed with last week wants to hire me!!!! They are sending me a letter of intent. I just have to wait until June 29th for their board meeting to become "official". My first teaching job! The people at the school are very nice. It's a small farming community outside of of Maricopa (So i'll probably end up moving there) or the commute would be an hour each way (which really isn't bad when I'm driving 50 miles). :-)
