Busy Busy
We went up to DC, Union Station to be exact, to meet with Greg's Aunt who was flying in for work but her plane was rerouted to Pennsylvania for some reason. I had called Dan to see if we could stop over but low and behold, it started pouring! Sorry Dan, we'll have to come up another time. You sounded excited to see us and I felt bad but we didn't have a car. Can we meet up with you and Matt sometime soon?
I started a class that Greg signed up for but couldn't go to. Its a Ceramic Tiling Workshop and I thought I'd hate it. I love it! We demolished these old cubby holes that we're going to use to put up drywall on the walls and plywood on the floor to retile. We had to take out the old plywood (with the tile attached) using a crowbar and hammer. Then we had to take out screws and the drywall on the walls. Needless to say, I came home a mess. Tonight we're probably going to delve right into the prep work. We would like to eventually tile the kitchen and bath in the middle level so I think this will really help.
I was very very excited about a program at FCPS in association with Hood College to become a teacher. It would only have required 4 days off work and two tests before I could begin teaching with the program. There is (or was) a teacher shortage in Business areas for high school students and that would have been a perfect "in" but it didn't happen. I'm too late for this school year and they are now saying criteria is changing. My whole problem with not being able to teach in Montgomery county is the time off needed to intern and student teach with no pay. I just can't do it with a mortgage. Greg keeps saying I'll figure something out but it is frustrating and brings me down when things like that happen after I was so excited about it thinking, "This is it! This is my in!"
The weight thing has been put on hold only for this week. We haven't been eating the best and the weather has been bad for biking and I have been so busy with this new class. I'm still at 227 in the morning though meaning, I need to get back on track before it increases!
Now onto another day here at the government!

Sorry, you missed your chance. You're no longer allowed to visit.
As if!
Anyway, another time, but you should have seen the sky when I was on the phone with you -- it looked like the apocolypse.
Go, Ceramic Tiling Workshop! That sounds great! A change to get out some agression, do something creative, and learn a new skill all at once!

Hahaha, I know I was like, "What rain?"
We were thinking Bethesda to visit? BD Mongolian Grill? Possibly?
Tiling is fun. I coulda used the beating walls to the ground part yesterday when I was angry with work. *Bang* Take that everyone who yells at me for not getting them what they want yesterday! Pfft...scientists are pretty bossy.
