What I Really Want

I leave for Seattle tomorrow. Way early. Early as in my flight leaves at 6:50am kind of early. Tomorrow I'll look at a district I might work at next school year. I don't know if I want to work there. I probably won't know still even after I look at the school and meet people. Because I never know what I want. For example, what do I want to wear tomorrow for the big day? I don't know. I just don't know...

Me, Me, Me

Happy Holi

I went to the Krishna Temple last night to celebrate Holi. Here are some pictures from the event. We threw color on each other, danced around a huge bon fire, chanted and danced. I think I love it.

Ma

I called my mom tonight.

She made me listen to her dog snore.

It's Over!

We're through! Utah and I are done! We're breaking up! My eyes are puffy. I didn't sleep because apparantly I'm sick. And I'm grouchy. And all crampy. And I fell asleep with wet hair so my hair's all big and frumpy. And I had to wear my glasses today because my contacts couldn't squeeze between my puffy eyes. I'm ugly frump girl who may or may not stink because my nose is too stuffed to smell.

And THEN do you know what happened? I walked outside. Comforting, warm, lovely, healing Spring is just around the corner but it was SNOWING! And not just a little bit. A LOT! A LOT! A LOT!! And so Utah and I are THROUGH! THROUGH! THROUGH!! I've had it! We're done!! Adios! Take your promises of hot summers, your uncannily large population of single men and your cheap rent and GO!

Moonlighting

Last night I dreamed that I was a waitress. A brand new to the job sort of waitress. I had no idea what was on the menu, what drinks we offered or where the kitchen was.

I came in and was directed to serve a table by the wall. There was a young couple there. I asked them if I could get them something to drink. The guy started to talk and ordered what sounded like five drinks, although he got frustrated when I didn't know when the name of one drink ended and another started. I decided to just write it down and ask a kitchen staff person once I found it.

I turned to find the kitchen, turned back to the table for just a moment and realized that four more people were there. I decided to take their drinks down so I could get them all at once. Got the orders, turned for a moment and five more people were there.

By the end of the dream, the table was as long as a banquet hall and it was filled with angry customers. I couldn't get the orders down right, I kept losing the little slips of paper which would fall to the floor and then disappear, people at one end of the table would take forever deciding while people on the opposite end grew restless.

I didn't fill a single order all night and I'll bet that if I had stayed around long enough my tip would have been a bucket of tar and feathers.

I'm not a great dream analyzer. But I don't think I need to be. The message of this dream is clear.

I should never be a waitress.
