Summer of the Socialite

I feel like all my good blog material comes at the most inopportune times. I am spending a momentous amount of time at the gym..ask me if I have lost a pound (no, really don't) because apparently in this "Summer of the Socialite" I am eating like there may not be a next meal. I guess at least with the gym I can eat whatever I want and maintain so I shouldn't complain. I go every weekday and I can't believe how much I love the classes. I could get used to this life. Hanging out with my dad in the morning, gym in the late morning, come home and eat lunch, look for some jobs, watch something wonderful (and terrible at the same time) on the dvr, meet up with someone for dinner or drinks and then go to bed and do it all over again. Of course summer can't last forever....


In other news, I have discovered I have a serious problem with letting people get under my skin. I think T and I both have this problem. Even the littlest things can really drive me batty. There are very few days at Zumba (the most fun dance class!) that I don't find myself annoyed with another participant. It is super crowded so generally someone is always in your space, doesn't wear enough deodorant or just does something annoying. Yesterday it was just because someone looked like someone that I don't like that I was annoyed by her. That is scary. It really isn't good and I am at least aware of it so I am trying to get over it but my mind can be very powerful sometimes.

The job hunt is really not progressing as planned. I am getting nervous about the time clock ticking and seeing a one way ticket to substitute teaching (or Boston) looming. The master plan is just one year of teaching ... just one school year here and then I will be open to moving to Boston for a short time if necessary. All of my plans require me saving some money this year, and so far that isn't happening. I know that I just need to let things happen and fall where they may.

Off to Boston this weekend and then Charlotte next weekend to see the Ferreira's. Looking forward to some fun weekends and hopeful that in a few weeks I might be preparing for the school year.

Off to bed...to prepare for another day in the life,
