• my mind is pinging all over the place so you're going to get all the stray thoughts that are tumbling out
• the kids are calling one another stupid head. rock on.
• i just stepped in cream of wheat.
• last night's dinner rocked, my favorite go-to-vegetarian staple: carmalized onions, garlic, and zuchinni over spaghetti; side of steamed carrots.
• i hurt my neck 2 weeks ago and decided to cash in on my recently purchased groupons for a massage place i hadn't previously tried.  so last week i went in at 9 am for a massage and my therapist reeked of alcohol and wanted to talk. i tried to skirt conversation and focus on the music but even that started to get weird when satanic chants started over the drumming. no really, a man was chanting: satan, scorcery, bow to me.  good times, people, good times.  on the plus side, i think the therapist was able to talk out some good ideas for her dream tattoo/massage parlor.
• with one more massage previously paid for from this place, i decided to give the place a second chance.  today i went in and had a different therapist that wasn't even drunk!  good news.  the bad news is that it was the softest, roughest massage i've ever had.  she was slapping and shaking me around, but no deep tissue at all.  i knew that if i asked her to push harder that i was only gonna get more roughed up. this time there wasn't any chanting, just bagpipes and ambulances. i was doing ok despite all of this until she rubbed my feet, by placing my foot on her bosom while rubbing my toes.  clearly, i had to be mistaken... but alas, when i left she had a giant lotion stain on her bosom. *sigh*  this place is not the place for me.  i left way more tense and stressed out than when i got there.
• on monday i'll be teaching art in E's 3rd grade class.  i'm so excited.  i've spent today cutting out no less than 500 hearts for a valentine's project.   i'm also planning to talk a little about love, the difference between conditional and unconditional
• i've been sleeping so well lately.  and waking with actual energy.  life is amazing when sleep is in order
• i've been spending less and less time online, and more and more time living my life.  this means dishes and laundry too. 
• i am really loving volunteering at the kids' school.  copying, laminating, reading... paid in hugs and compliments.  that's some good stuff there.
