Not Dead

Don't worry, I'm not dead.  I've realized recently that I need a secret blog.  There have been quite a few occurrences that I've wanted to blog about, but then I realize that my blog could be frequented by a few people that should not hear what I want to say.  They're not necessarily bad things, but also not things I want mere acquaintances to know.

I have had more things happen to me in the last month that are so "secretive" but they've kept me busy enough to not have time to blog as much.

1. Car shopping--It's atrocious.  It took me a couple of weeks to figure out what I wanted to buy.  I drove many cars and visited too many dealerships.  I finally chose the Hyundai Elantra the only problem is that they are so popular that they can't keep them on the lot.  I've been waiting two or three weeks now (I don't even remember anymore) for mine to come in.  In the mean time, I hope and pray that my Jetta behaves so I don't have to put any more money into it.

2. School--I have a good class this year.  They are fun and I don't feel as though I have to get after them nearly as much as last year's class.

3. First school dream--I finally had my first school dream of the year just last week.  It was weird but also "scary".  In real life, I have crossing guard duty after school once a week.  In my dream, I was going out to perform my weekly duty when I realized I was late.  I grabbed my stop sign, but not my fashionable orange vest.  As I'm running out of the school, I notice a group of 20 to 30 unfamiliar 6th graders with their two teachers/advisors/whatever-adults and they're just standing in the middle of the crosswalk mostly blocking traffic.  As cars are whizzing past them I run up and ask what they are thinking.  Apparently, this was the group we had been waiting for for an assembly and they weren't sure where they should go to wait for the assembly to start whether they should wait across the street or actually come into the school so they decided to just wait in the middle of the street.  I started yelling at them to get out of the road and go into the school as I was desperately trying to get cars to stop, the group was hesitant and wouldn't move.  Drivers decided to ignore me and wouldn't listen or even notice me waving the stop sign in their faces.  It was very frustrating and bugged me to no end that no one was listening to me.  The worst part was that it caused so much anxiety that it woke me up at 4:30 am and then I couldn't get back to sleep.

4. I'm sure there is more, but nothing is really coming to mind.  I guess I should just get back to blogging more often.
