I am an extremely poor tease attempt...
Wow, it's been a while...well, I've been on vacation, and it always takes a little time for me to readjust and get back into the normality of things. Since I've been back, work's been a little hectic and I just had a lot of things to do, so I haven't had time to write...well, here I go again...
NYC pics are finally up! I love nanya!!! It was a great trip; got to do a lot of the touristy stuff I barely ever get to do while I'm out in the NY because I'm never there long enough. Some places we ended up staying far longer than expected, which led to us not getting to do everything we wanted, but that's okay. That's what future trips will be for. New York minutes man, they sure do go quick! But even being out there for 5 days, it still wasn't long enough. But I definitely have a ton of funny stories to tell - it'll be hard to tell them w/o Mina, but I'll try to do the stories justice, he he he. That's how vacations are though, always too short, he he he.
So like I said, it's taking me a while to get my groove back. The past couple days, I've been feelin somewhat loopy. I'm not sure...but it's like back in the day when I was off of school for the summer - probably moreso in college than in high school and before...but anyway, vacation is over and school starts...all over again - and I don't want to go back. There's a certain reluctance to be back in class...I'm just zoned out and would rather be doing something else. Well, that's how it's been lately. Don't get me wrong, there's a ton of work to do, it's actually kept me busier than I've been, but I'm still wishing I was elsewhere. It's only been about a week since I've been back, and it was a long weekend, so maybe I need to be back a full week before I can fully readjust. I probably need to get back into the "routine." That sounds so monotonous though. There has to be a better word...
Coincidentally, kids started up school again today. All my teacher friends are off summer break, and even London...well, today, she started the 3rd grade. THIRD GRADE!!!! Wow. My gosh time flies. I was just talking this weekend about when she was still a little baby, and how I used to get so hurt when she would cry when I would hold her. That was 7 years ago. SEVEN. SEVEN. SEVEN!!!! (seven). Anyway...craaaaaazy. In 5 years, she'll be a teenager...a teenager. Man oh man.
55 small things you can always do
27. Look a homeless person in the eyes and say hello with a smile.
This one seems a little strange to me...because it feels a little awkward, but maybe that's just me. I guess it has to do w/ the whole thing that they're homeless and I'm not. But that shouldn't stop me from being nice and friendly to them. Just like smiling at your coworkers or strangers, you just never know how your smile might affect them. So show those pearly whites...
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
