New Post!

I'm writing a new post for two reasons:
1) I don't want to work. I'm at school. I should work. But instead I'll blog.
2) I want to depart from the vein that my previous post's comments were going. Not that it wasn't exciting and all.

Today was the Renaissance assembly, and I'm glad it's over. We watched "Ratatouille." You might think that running a movie assembly isn't a big deal . . . think again. I had to arrange chaperones and clean-up and cookie-hander-outers and door checkers . . . I'm just glad it's done.

Yesterday was a bizarre day, and I was in tears by the time 7pm rolled around. Allan is so good, though, and just held me until I was okay. He's the best!

Anybody up for a President's Day excursion to somewhere warm?

There are days when I am on top of my game . . .

. . . and there are days when I am not. But, thankfully, today I was superbly on top of my game. I arrived at school to find out I had no power in my lab benches. I quickly contacted a custodian, but then my mind whizzed as I made plans B and C. Plan A was to do a microscope lab, which obviously can't be done without power for the microscope lights to work on. Thankfully, the power was restored five minutes into the period, and I didn't have to resort to plan B or C. I felt good, however, knowing that I still can quickly make up plans B, C, D, etc., and that I haven't quite lost my touch.

I also feel quite accomplished in the fact that I have been engaged for 11 days and the Temple, reception hall, and photographer are scheduled. I know what invitations I want--I just need to order them. (You can go to http://www.jaffaprinting.com/invitations/contemporary2/tiffanytwotone/tiffanytwotone.htm to check them out!) I'm going to a florist on Thursday. I have my premarital exam (eek!) scheduled, a dentist appointment scheduled, a day to go dress shopping . . . I'm feeling pretty on top of it right now.

It's just nice to know I haven't lost my school touch either. =)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's official! I'm engaged!

And I couldn't be happier! =)

New Post?

In the comments of my last post, Alisyn cried out for a new one. But I really do not know what to write. In fact, nothing eventful has happened as of late. So, I will try to ramble about something and see if anything interesting appears.

Al referred to my bridal shower in her past comments and what I'd like. I really don't know. It would be exciting to have a bed and bath theme because, truthfully, I'm kind of stocked with regards to my kitchen needs. In fact, Allan and I have decided that we can register for fun stuff instead of just the normal stuff because we have a lot of the normal stuff. So, I'm thinking we'll register at Bed, Bath, and Beyond (or maybe Target) and then maybe Best Buy or some place like that. But, with a bed and bath shower, I realize items are more expensive and/or need to cater to my particular taste . . . I'm undecided as to what would be exciting, easy, and helpful. Maybe you girls have some good ideas?

The New Year's Eve party was a blast. I sometimes forget how much fun we have when we're all together. And as for dragging your significant others around, don't they do the same with you? I'm more than happy to be with Allan and his friends, and I'm also glad that he is happy with reciprocating.

It is my prep hour right now, and I should be doing work. But I don't really feel like it. I feel like taking a nap or continuing to write for a little bit.

There are only 10 more school days until Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Yes, I'm counting down to every holiday because it gives me something to shoot for. It looks as if March will be the month from the abyss because there are no holidays, it is still dark and cold, and it feels like spring break will never arrive. I'm just glad I don't live in Alaska. Or Antarctica for that matter.

I did the spider mating dance for my zoo/bot kids today, and I think it went over well. At first the kids didn't know whether they should laugh or not, but by the end they were enjoying my humiliation. I even got some applause. I told the kids they should try some of the moves on a date to see if things like appendage waving or presenting a dead insect really helps attract a mate.

If you haven't been to Roberts lately, you really should go. They have extremely cute Valentine's Day decorations out. I'm tempted to go buy some, but my budget is really tight this month, and so I'll have to wait until February to make my purchases.

Is that enough of a post? I really just rambled, but this is Haylee's Random Rambling after all. Some of it was quite stream of consciousness.

Have a fantastic weekend! I'm now going to look for bed linens on-line! :)
