So Danny is gone for another 4 weeks, just about. I have kept really busy, taking the dog places, working late, trying to hang with friends. But I miss him, and I am sad. I could technically go hang with friends now, but I am pooped. But sort of lonely too. I’ve been taking care of his plants and I think I’ve done pretty well. I picked a large red tomato today. The band did ask if he would be free in August, not sure how long the tour will be, but…meh.
I should paint right now, but I am tired, long day at work and then I met up with Fred and took Nacho to the dog park.

Do you ever want to just move away, make a new life in a whole new country? Like see if you can make it in Ireland, or Buenos Aires, Spain, or Mathis? (I’m just kidding about the last one). I wonder at times what it would be like to live like others do. Like having to wear a scarf and mitts all the time, or being in a jungle. Not forever of course, but just to see and learn about the lives of others. I realize that since I don’t have children, I have the world at my fingertips (reminding myself that it takes cash too), but I should technically go enjoy the world or what I can of it before I get tied down with family. Not that you can’t enjoy it with family, but lets just say Danny and I aren’t in careers where money will be rolling in later. I don’t know, I am rambling now. Just wondering what I should be doing…you know?

I have to learn JavaScript for Monday’s class. Not all of it of course, but just enough to get student’s feet wet and get them coding cool stuff. At times I feel like such a failure to my students, at others I feel wonderful, I know with experience it will get better and my rough days will be less and less. I do enjoy my job and the people I work with though, I am learning so much and well, love it.

Just saw this video by Regina Spektor. I really like her music (another girl and a piano, go figure)  and I saw this video and gave a holla to my fellow curly girl. Okay, so in this video her curls are formed to look a little more like “Annie” (the orphan) rather than like a mermaid. But still…when they stand together it made me smile.

I really like this song too…I need to bring my piano up from Portland
