Tough Titles

So just now, I realized that I'd spent 20 minutes just thinking while staring at the screen. First I was trying to decide on a title. Then who knows where all my mind went... It went from possible titles, to noticing that our heater is working again (yay!), to "where would i be if...", and so many more places. But anyways, I suppose I'm back from that far off place, and back into the world of blogging.

Today, was a very different, yet interesting day. It started off a bit sad, just cause I had to say goodbye to Matt. He'll be in Mesa for the break.... All 3 Weeks! :o) I was realizing that is just one week less than a month.... and about the same amount of time he was gone in the summer! That felt like forever!!! Whoa, when I think of it that way, it's just even more depressing. But yet, I know it'll be a great time. He'll be with his family, oh, and he's going to Six Flags near L.A., plus christmas, and all that jazz. I don't mean to be so negative, and selfish by singley thinking "Oh, Matt's leaving me." I guess I just mean that I'll miss him like mad while he's gone.

Then off to work at Gold's Gym I went. It was pretty fun. This cute little girl named Asia kept tagging along with me where ever I went throughout the gym. She had me read her a book while she sat in my lap, and she's pretty much adorable. Then, Nikole, of age 10, came in and we played with these top spinny things while she told me about school, and her family, and random things that were so fascinating to her. Then eventually this boy, David, who was probably about Six, was playing football with me. He was remarkable. I'm tellin' ya , the kid has talent. He had the spiral down and everything. I was amazed. And last, by certainly not least, Sebastian stuck out to me as well today. Sebastian has somewhat shaggy brown hair, big brown eyes, he has somewhat tanned skin, and he's always wearing these cute preppy little outfits. Today while David and I were playing catch, Sebastian would decide to join, so he'd tackle me - which I of course defended myself by tickling him (it seems like the best thing to do). His adorable little smile and laugh melted my heart. I'm a sucker for cute little kids, but I don't know who isn't.
One thing that happens a lot throughout the hours of work there, the kids don't know what to call you besides "Teacher." It makes me feel a little special, but I usually try to teach them my name. "Teri" doesn't seem too difficult, and it'd be cool if one day, one of these kids actually remembers my name. So Sebastian is a defiant character, as are most 2 year olds or 3 year olds. So I said "Sebastian, will you say my name? Can you say "Teri"?" and he was certaintly not going to say it. I'd never really believed in reverse psychology, but I thought, "hey, I might as well experiment... see if it works." Sure enough, it was the easiest thing ever. I said " Sebastiiiian, Don't Say My Name! Don't Do It!... Don't say Teri! Whatever you do, don't say Teri!" Then within 30 seconds, he yelled with a snickering face, "Teri!" It was awesome! Because not only did this reverse thing work, but then later on he was actually calling me by my first name, instead of Teacher! I'm sorry, but I truely felt accomplished, and a little more personal to the kids that I was watching. I don't know why some days I find these kids to be extraordinary, and then others I don't think any thing of it. But, they truely are amazing. Sometimes I'm baffled at how quickly they pick things up. And their personalities seem to shine, leaving me to imagine how they'll grow up. It's quite exciting.

Well, That was work. Then I went on home... I ate some food, took a nap... then when i awoke, Kimi and I decided who'd she'd married. Somehow we figured we could be related... but ya know, I'm not really sure how I didn't notice I wasn't thinking logically. I suppose not blood relatives, but... close enough. Anyways, no one probably has a clue what the heck i'm talking about, but that's alright. I do.

Then I was off to Trade Secret... that other place that I work. It was pretty laid back, I brought in the book "the Giver" because I can't for the life of my remember any detailsof it, except for the kids name is Jonas. I remember that I loved the book, but what happened? Don't know. But I had this book with me, and it was amazing the comments that I got on it. People would come in and ask, "Hey, are you reading this?" and we'd have this conversation about how wonderful the book was, and I'd tell them I can't remember any of it, and blah blah blah....... It was just one of those dumb things you find amusing at work because you have nothing else to amuse you. Well, that was the fun part, but Closing was a bugger. I don't know how to close! I have only closed by myself once, and I was $1.50 off in the till because I'm just special I guess. But this time was worse. I seem to confuse myself quite often. I just need a strategy, a system that works. But I had no check list, there was no stylist there, and they left me to just come up with the answer to this closing dealio. So... it ended up that I had to call a stylist, she tried to walk me through it, but the computer shut off because I took so long! Haha, the impatient little thing. Grr.. but that then kept me from staying any longer I suppose, which wouldn't have been any more "fun".

And, now I'm here, typing this boring detailed blog about my boringly detailed day. Okay, so it wasn't that boring to me, since it was in fact My day. I wonder what it'd be like to have a day of someone else's life. Hmm.. yes, I'm sure we've all wondered that once in our life.

I'm so incredably tired. I think that I'm on this no sleep high, cause I just keep typing and yet I really have nothing to say. It's quite strange. and my eyes are nowwww shutting...............zzzzzzz
