There’s a photoshop app for the iphone and guess what?! It’s freeeeeee!!!!

photoooo

I’ve never been good at tinkering around with it on my macbook and it pretty much confused the heck out of me. But the app is simple and fun to use.

Two of my friends have started new blogs. They aren’t new to the blogging world, they’ve just started new blogs. Check them out!

Roxy Monoxide’s blog on being single and living in Memphis.

We didn’t get picked!!!!

I’m really nervous about today. I could have a really stressful day or a relaxed day. Department of Human Services is coming to assess my preschool. Out of all of the classes in the preschool they draw out of a hat 4 names of classrooms that they will assess. They will he shadows in those classrooms. Following your every step, making sure you follow every rule in the book. NO One follows every rule in the book. Some of the rules are just plain ridiculous. But today we will. We will wash both our hands and the child’s hands before and after we wipe their nose, we will disinfect any toy or item that gets sneezed on or licked-immediately, we will place mats at least 4 inches away from other mats, we will not tell the kids to do anything, but suggest it just like the book says and tons of other stuff we never do.

I hope my class doesn’t get picked. I don’t work well under pressure and I’m sure I’ll forget to do something “by the book” with people observing me.

Devynn showed me this awhile back and I loved it. Still do, so I’m sharing it with you.

Brrr! It’s getting chilly out! It’s about 50 degrees in the morning, which makes walking Peanut a drag. I’ve gotten to the point where I just send him outside and call him in 10 minutes later. Luckily, it doesn’t stay chilly all day. The high for today is 72 degrees. Perfect weather, in my opinion!

So I just got back from a trip to visit the boyface. I flew in last Wednesday and flew out on Sunday. Too short, in my opinion, but I had a lovely time. We spent a lot of time in his apartment getting to know each other. We know each other fairly well emotionally since the majority of our relationship is phone calls and skype calls. So, it was just getting to know each other physically. I’m not talking about sexy time ( though there was plenty of that!), but learning each others mannerisms, seeing how the other reacts to things, habits, stuff you can’t see on skype. We watched movies, i showed him episodes of my favorite shows, introduced him to my music!, played video games, carved pumpkins together, cooked together- we were one of those couples that I ususually make me gag when I hear about the stuff they do.

we carved tall-nut from Plants V zombies!

I know it doesn’t sound like it, but we did manage to leave the apartment. He took me on a tour of his town(it’s so teeny), went shopping, went out, OH! and I met his parents. Yup! I met the parentals. I was really nervous about meeting them. I had my preconceptions about an older white couple living in a rural town. I was convinced they wouldn’t accept me or would be rude. I was so wrong. They were friendly, happy for both of us and just good people. We spent a little while hanging out with them and his Dad gave me a tour of their farm. (Lol yes! A farm) I had a great visit and as you can guess a terrible time saying goodbye. I fell more for him and he fell more for me. We’re seeing each other in a couple of weeks. And then a couple of weeks after that! and then again a couple of weeks after that! and *gasp* he asked me to (if everything continues to go well) move in with him in January! Crazy right? Even crazier is I’m considering it. :)

The Swede sent me this picture taken when Oprah/The Obamas were in Copenhagen. He sent it because he swears I was there. He thinks the girl that he (badly) circled looks just like me. Thoughts?

for the first time ever in a relationship, I feel vulnerable

I DONT LIKE IT!

A part of me is saying, “back off while you can! before you get hurt!”

but another side is saying, “don’t even worry about the outcome. Just go with it-let yourself go and enjoy it”

arghh!!!!!!! I just want things to work out

…but there were a few things that made it better ^_^
