Snowed in, no reason to go out this weekend. Not with my driving skills. Games canceled, empty house, slowly driving myself crazy. I did clean out my closet, found lots of things to donate to Goodwill. That makes me feel better. Started a new book, haven't read fiction in awhile. That's a joy I have missed.

Thinking of my friends Sunny and Kim, missing them. Need. Human. Interaction. Or dog, if I can get it. Luckily, Sammy and Tommy come tonight. Whew!

Waiting for things to happen. Waiting for words from everywhere. Waiting for my brother and Sammy to come home for Spring Semester. I get too lonely in this big house alone. Grocery shopping for one is depressing.

I'm about to start a new semester and meet a new group of kids. It's unfortunate that my class is only a semester long. I could really get into some good stuff if I had longer. I got to teach them social responsibility through sexuality education, and that's really the #1 most important message I could translate to them. I wish I could teach every sophomore in that school about healthy reproductive decisions. Alas, there are no funds and this state still isn't crazy about comprehensive sexuality education. It's dangerous not to get this information to teenagers. And quite frankly, I get really fired up about it.

I have a lot more waiting to do, as peers do adult things like marry and buy houses and have children (not necessarily in that order). They do their thing, and I enjoy being glad to take things slower. I've got a plan, made an investment, and I feel good about it. I just have to wait a little longer.

New brown hair (to appear older) and grill alignment progress. 8 months left! (Allegedly.)

This is a new post. With updates.

I still love my job, but have been questioning how much. My brother and I acquired a Golden Retriever puppy due to a friend of a friend getting a foreclosure. We named her Sammy, and discovered later that Sammy is a combination of Sally and Tommy. My braces are still on, still annoying, but my teeth are looking much better.

I work all the time, but I also have no friends that live in this corner of the state. So, I need a hobby. I feel like I have a ton of interests, but no real proof of it. I feel boring. My boyfriend's sister made me a scarf for Christmas, and it made me realize I want to have something like that. Something that I say I do in my spare time besides read, watch documentaries, and check things obsessively on the internet. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

I am going to try to update more because I think I can get more traffic through twitter.
