Looks like they're working the kinks out one by one. Kudos to you tv.com

Now, what to blog about...life, work, politics, movies, books...hmmm...so much going on I suppose

Work has surprisingly been stressful. It took me until about a couple weeks ago to finally feel settled into the school year. Before that, I struggled to adjust to the learning level of my new students and remembing names of the 230 exploratory kids I see...yeah righ! But things are settling in and year two is feeling much better. I can breathe again. I wasn't dealing with the stress in the best manner either. I was working out but avoiding my gym (b/c of my new later schedule) and I was frustrated by the financial waste. So, I'm getting back in the gym routine as well. Phew...it is my drug of choice, exercise, and without it I can get pretty irritable.

As for life, all is well. Operation Cindy, meaning forcing myself out, was well-intentioned and I have had a good time spending my weekends camping, seeing shows in New York, and dancing in Boston, but it's also getting a big overwhelming. It feels like a 7 day work week b/c I don't sleep well in strange places and am desperate for some me time. So, despite the upcoming weekends continuing the busy trend, I see a clear horizon for some of November and I can't wait to enjoy empty movie weekend alone! Ahhhh...can't wait...

Books...;(...I've been on temporary hiatus, reading maybe a couple pages a day. Currently, I'm finishing Aristophanes, The Birds, readying myself up for part two of my double feature show weekend. Saturday I see Sweeney Todd matinee and then The Birds, a modernized political version, at night.

Movies...given my intense crush on Gerard Butler (like many other women I know), I've been watching Butler films. My Blockbuster queue was sending me Ireland themed films and now Butler featured films and I'm enjoying that.

Politics...no energy to go there...another more purposeful blog

Sorry that this was just blather but I felt like I had to post something!

If you're looking for a new book, might I recommend either A Tree Grows In Brooklyn (my personal favorite book of all time) or Three Cups Of Tea(an absolutely amazing true story that is able to change your thinking about the Middle East). Have a nice and peaceful weekend!

Hi, it's funny how much your life resembles mine two months ago. All my weekends were filled with fun activities but it did feel a bit overwhelming and I was also desperate for some "me" time. So I've spent the last two weekends like a recluse, not going out and just hanging around with myself. I hope it does you as much good as it did me!
