NoJoMo twentythree

So Saturday I hung out with Lindsay most of the day. She needed shoes for an upcoming holiday party, so we went to shoe carnival. I had no intention of buying anything, because of my lack of money situation. I was still trying stuff on to entertain myself, and found these super comfy shoes. I was in love. And they were clearance and only $10. I was asking Lindsay if it was justified to spend ten dollars, because I do need professional looking shoes for school. I mean I'm sure I can wear sneakers and flip-flops. It probably wouldn't be an issue, but I'm still new and like to make an impression. So after a bit, I decided to be good and not get them. This lady who was shopping near us handed me a ten dollar off coupon. So Lindz added the shoes to her tab, and I basically got a free pair of new shoes. So thank you, lady. Seriously, I'm sending you good karma vibes.

Afterwards, we stopped at Ale House to munch on some loaded fries. I drank Coke, because for some reason I was really craving soda. I don't drink soda very often. It's usually water, coffee, and tea. I consider soda like a piece of cake. You have a slice every once and a while, but not multiple times a day. It took me a long time to get to that state of mind, becaus I was a huge soda drinker for the longest time. I'm still craving it now for some reason. These last couple days, I've just really wanted sugar. Anywho, there was football on, so we were watching some games. My Noles won. woot woot! And we were talking about life and Lindz' relationship with Cameron. Oh! My 31 year old virgin is no longer virtuous. I'm so proud! Now of course, she can't get enough of it. But their relationship seems to be going great. She's really in love with him, which is awesome. It still weirds me out just a little bit, because Cam is one of Russ' best friends. And for the longest time, it was usually the three of us hanging out, or me hanging out with Russ and the rest of the boys, Dennis and Charles (twins). Now Lindsay, who's been one of my best friends since sophmore year in high school has joined the crew. Like my two worlds have combined. I mean every once in a while their paths have crossed with nights out and what not. The two of them were both in our wedding party. Cameron's like my brother, and Lindsay's like my sister. So it seems almost incestuous. lol But I cannot be more happy for both of them. They both are amazing people and deserve one another.

Saturday night, we continued Pandemic Legacy with Lindz and Cam at Cam's place.

Sunday, I didn't really do anything all day. Originally we were going to head up to PSL (Port St. Lucie, a town about an hour away) to hang out at Dennis and Carolina's (Dennis' wife who's awesome and I love her) for football with Dennis, Carolina, Charles, Cam, Lindz, Russ, and I. But then Russ had to work. Then come Sunday into the day, Russ realized he didn't have to work. I wanted to head to Panera Bread to meet with my Nano people, but eventually decided not to. I just felt like being somewhat lazy.

Today at school, we went down the street to the park for about an hour. That was fun. I'm really really loving my job right now, and I'm so scared to express this kind of optimism. I wish I could get more hours eventually. I'm only there 9 to 1:30 every day. Which is super fun for my stress level, but come paycheck time, I'd wish for more work. But right now, I love working with the kids I do. Tomorrow morning at 8:15, I have a meeting with the assistant director of the school to go over some of the computer programs and what-not for scheduling and grading. I met her briefly on Friday, and she seems really nice.

So yeh, I'm pretty hungry. I think I am going to go make some rice. Hunger wins!

Peace!
