Well, i'm here. I'm on my lunch break at work. I'm not hungry at all, so i decided to come to the library. It's not the most quiet of places b/c kids are constantly walking in and out, but oh well - it works. I was up pretty late last night - wasn't able to fall asleep (which is to be expected after 32oz of caffine between the hours of 6pm-11pm). However, this morning I woke up pretty early and I wasn't able to fall back asleep, so i just layed in bed for a while before kicking off the covers. I hit up DB and 'Bou before I came to work. I wanted a latte from DB and i talked to my coworker and she wanted a pumpkin latte (which are only good at 'bou), so i went to both coffee shops this morning. Unfortunatly they are out of pumpkin flavoring syrup, but told me that they could make a hoho mocha!! I got that for her instead. Those are amazing. I forgot that today is now November, which means that Christmas music can be played in the classroom. I banned Stasha from playing it before November 1st. It is now November 2nd - aka - xmas music is okay. Don't get me wrong... i LOVE christmas music - i just don't want to get sick of it too soon this year. Last year i think we started listening to it in the middle of October. Anyway, i don't have much planned for tonight. I was invited to go square dancing which i think would be a blast, but i don't know if i'll be able to make it. My plans after work are to head straight to DB to get more wedding finished. Hopefully this time i'll be able to get a table. The coffee shop was so full last night that i had to make a make-shift table out of a chair and my lap for a good 2 hours. It wasn't a big deal, but I wasn't sad once a table opened up :). Know that feeling when you just want a hug from someone?? That is me right now. A big squeeze!! Haha - one of the guy teachers at our school just came up behind me and yanked on my hair as I typed that - not exactly what i was going for, but ok... Well, my latte is cold. I believe that I should go heat it up. I will most likely write more later when i need a break from editing, so bye for now!

I write this sitting at where else… you guessed it, DB – the one and only. My eyes are bugging out of my head, so I’m taking a break. I’m currently working on my never ending project titled: “Michelle and Chris’s Wedding Video.” Omg – I honestly feel like this is NEVER going to be finished. I have spent 5 months working on the same 30 minutes!!! This is all the preliminary, getting ready footage, but seriously it is taking me an eternity to do. Typically I’m able to do an entire wedding, beginning to end, in 10 hours. I’m being beyond perfectionist on this one though. It takes me 3 hours just to get 20 seconds completed. Kinda ridiculous I know. I hope it’s worth the long wait for Michelle and Chris. AHHHHHHH!!

So this weekend has been busy. Doesn’t really feel like there was much of one. Friday, right after work I flew down to Northfield to help Carisa teach. Then it was off to Jessie and TJ’s for a Halloween party. After I left, I went back to Carisa and Jay’s where we stayed up chatting till 4am. I actually fell asleep before Jay. Let’s just say for the record, I have NEVER fallen asleep before him – EVER! The next morning I got up, went home, and got ready for ballet and then rehearsal.

Ballet was amazing as usual!! It was just Carisa, Austen, and I, but we had a great time!! I have missed Tina’s classes TERRIBLY!! I haven’t been able to go the past two weekends due to Jessie’s bachelorette party and then wedding. Tina gave Carisa and I jam that she made from grapes in her yard. I tried some last night – it was delicious!!

After ballet, Carisa and I took off and got some food before we went back for rehearsal. I didn’t have rehearsal for myself specifically, but instead for understudying Carisa as Mary Poppins. I am honestly not a fan of the first couple rehearsals of our shows. I never have been. The reason I don’t like them is because you still are unsure of who your character is exactly. You’re just figuring out who they are, as is everyone else. It’s difficult to play off of the other people b/c no one really knows what they’re doing. Once you’re about a month or two into rehearsals, then it’s a lot of fun. That’s because you really get to play off of your character, and the other people dancing around you!!

Once rehearsal was over I went to DB and worked late into the night on Michelle’s wedding. I’ve got to get this thing finished. AHHH!

Anyway – so again, had rehearsal today. Once that was finished, I went over to Carisa and Jay’s and saw Carisa’s bday present from Jay – a new kitty!!! They got him from the humane society today. He is absolutely adorable. Miltion wasn’t too thrilled, but hopefully he’ll get over it. After helping Carisa upload some video footage onto her computer, I came back to DB. It’s a bit of a drive to get to the one in St Paul, but they’re the only one open late on Sunday (11pm!!), and I may stop at dance afterward to work on my solo. I drank a 16oz. mocha at Carisa’s, and I’m drinking a latte right now. I most likely will not be sleeping tonight.

Okay back to work. I seriously want to crawl out of my skin right now. I’ve got a lot on my mind. Editing is keeping me distracted, but the caffeine isn’t helping – just keeping me awake. AHHHHHHHH. Okay – bye for now.
