a fresh start to smell the roses

Today...I traveled long and far to the good Ole City of San Diego to start my Montessori teacher training...with my 18 month younger brother Jay in Tow- driving me actually, we started our am very tired and a little irritated with the fact that we both were up super late due to some unforeseen drama but none the less this is my life...when would I really expect to have a calm, prepared trip, packed and ready to go with a great night of sleep before hand. That is all I wanted but didn't really get...I should have known better. It's not the calm, it's the calm before the STORM. None the less we got on our way- with no tickets from the PO PO...( knock on wood) I could really go with out seeing them again for a long time!

Then we got here! On my first real drive on the 5? I almost side swiped a car...really though they were following to close in the lane next to me...AND with the Garmin GPS thing yelling at me it was only fitting. I sort of felt like the scene in Clueless when D got on the freeway...screaming! Just imagine that coming out of Jays mouth. His neurotics made me laugh the whole day today!

Tomorrow I will start my lonely (hopefully not) stay at USD. The campus is so freaking pretty. I really think I was born to marry a hot Latino man who can build me an old rustic Hispanic home just like USD because seriously the architecture is for me!

A mom at the school told me to take a journal and write 5 things that I am grateful for. I will start my list here. Today I am grateful for a few things:

1. Jay is neurotic...it makes me laugh! BUT I better not get what he has or I will beat hi s neurotic ass...I'm feeling a little queezy now so i better go to bed.
2. GPS. Even though she screamed at me today I know she will save my butt this summer
3. the weather is beautiful...it is nice to be a little chilly and not sweat every waking moment of the day!
4. The worker at the gift shop. She let me know that the USD campus is VERY liberal and to keep my conservative thoughts to myself. Even though she agrees with ME!
5. This opportunity to get away and learn. Even though I have a degree and went through college, I never went away for school, I never lived in the dorms, or spent enough time on campus to enjoy it. I also never stopped to smell the flowers in college. I just did the work and did it well. but now I will get too- what an experience.
6. For Ms. Gigi....it is great to have a friend who thinks I am hilarious and vise versa, who helps me confirm my backbone, and supports me. just nice!
Tomorrow I am sure there will be more but today I just hope I didn't get the BUG!

Oh and that TARGETS are universal...gotta love a good Target trip even when you are rushed through with your brother...not such a fun trip but none the less I got the low down of my new favorite target.
