The New Black

Me too. I'm also the person who can not find a parking spot close to my destination. Then as soon as I get out of my car and begin walking toward the building (or wherever), I see a car pulling out only steps from the door. Happens all the time.

I know!! I know I will think that tube of gel I have not used in a year would fix everything tomorrow. I hope I do not resort to trash diving.

HEHE.... My Hungarian grandmother (who struggled with English, let alone knowing any Spanish) was always watching spanish tv.

When I go to the laundry, the Filipino couple are always tied to the novellas.

So I feel like spilling a few things here from the fun chaos that is my life:

I start practising law on Monday - crim defense in a private boutique firm. I am so excited. I think this will be fun for me and I can't wait to get back to court and seeing clients after a summer off. BUT... part of me is torn about having less time with my kids. I wish I could clone myself - one me to work, one me to be with the kids. I don't think I could be a stay at home parent permanently, and I do love to work, but I also so love being with the kids all day. I expect I will always feel torn this way now.

*********************************************

Did an audition yesterday for the first time in ages. Also felt good to be getting back in the saddle, BUT I forgot how much I HATE auditions and that feeling that everything about me - my height, my body, my weight, my skin colour, my hair, my clothes, my voice, is being displayed and scrutinized. Yuck.

*********************************************

Son told me yesterday that a kid in his class made fun of his skin colour and his hair. He did the right thing, though. He told the kid "I like my hair and my skin. They're good." Then he told the teacher and that kid got sent to the office for a time-out. But I'm sad that this crap STILL happens. Son asked me if we can live in a country where everyone is brown. I wish we could... but I also know that won't really solve anything as colonialism will still have messed with peoples' self esteem. Son also said he was tempted to do karate on the kid, but he didn't. I'm proud of him.

I also just found out that I got "elected" by the other parents as the room rep for his classroom. He is at a UNESCO school. You better believe I'm going to make sure anti-racism is discussed this year!

Amneris, congrats on all the good news! I'm excited for you!
Your son is a smart kid. And that whole experience just shows that people who preach color-blindness as a solution are deluding themselves.

Amneris, glad great things are happening for you.

I really need to do some continued professional development courses. Maybe I'll start the 9 week mental health uni course tomorrow.

I also need to get some vitamin c powder so my whole wheat bread will rise properly in my bread maker. Annoyingly this will mean having to explain its for bread making and not heroin cockling.

I can't believe it!

I've signed up for my 401k!

Who do I think I am?!?!? Someone who will have some sort of plan for the future?!?!?!?




I think I need to lie down. Recover from this shock.

I'm not sure why, but when I do economics, I only understand it in short bursts. As such, when answering homework problems, I have to hurry up and answer them while I still understand what I'm reading.

Sad, right?

Sitting at work, on overtime, waiting to be told if our plant is going to shut down.

I love this place. These are good people, and this whole mess is not even our fault.

Something very strange happened to me today:

-Got a close parking spot at Target.
-Our Target has a Starbucks and they have these little cupholders that clip onto the carts, but they never seem to have any available any more (are people stealing them? Read below for more on that) and I hate having to juggle my drink so I don't spill it while I'm shopping. Today the cart I got because I let a lady go in front of me HAD THE HOLDER IN IT! #miraclesyall
-I got in line and was the very next person and it didn't take long.
-I didn't catch not one red light on the way home. Not one!

Walking out to the car I seriously thought about putting that damn cup holder in my car to keep on hand for future shopping trips so I have a place to put my drink. I didn't because that's stealing, but I really wanted to.

I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.
