Hey everyone! I feel like absolutely no time has passed since Tuesday, but here we are. Obviously everyone has shut down because of this nor'easter, so I'm once again stuck inside. Although it sucks that my interview and open house today had to be rescheduled for next week, I'm glad I don't have an excuse to go outside in this weather. I'm better off going into hermit mode for a day.
As many of you may be aware, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Most people deem this to be an unnecessary Hallmark holiday in which men buy pointless gifts for the women in their lives. I'd like to think of it as more of a tradition passed down through generations of stupid people, but I'm not en expert. Obviously I love chocolate; I am a female after all. I also love flowers, possibly more than chocolate, (but really, who am I kidding?) These would both be nice every once in awhile, but I don't think we need a day devoted to them, or him for that matter. I see him every day!
I've cooked a nice dinner for my husband every Valentine's Day for the last four years and it's my favorite part of the holiday. Going out to dinner is overrated; I'd much rather make him something from scratch than wait around and make reservations to spend more money we don't have. I make him the same thing every year, but he loves it, so it's totally worth it. Plus, it's delicious because I'm an awesome cook:) All I want to do tomorrow is cook sauce and drink wine with my mother, make a fabulous dinner for my husband and spend some alone time together. If I can get him to sit next to me on the couch, I've succeeded in my efforts.

Speaking of "love," I got caught up in The Bachelor, so get ready for some spoilers if you haven't seen it already! I still hate Claire and think that she's crazy. I also still think my top three are Renee, Andi and Nikki, but you can never tell with this show. My favorite part, by far, was the group date dinner at Hobbiton. I can't even tell you how much I was fangirling at that moment. I think it's safe to say that was the best group date so far in the shows history. Although I also feel that anyone who would truly appreciate that set wouldn't be caught dead watching The Bachelor, but to each his own. If you want to read a recap of this episode or any other, check out this blog called Mel Got Served. She does various recaps of TV shows and they are most humorous. Check her out for a good laugh!
Unfortunately none of my other shows were on this week due to the Olympics. I can't even comment on them either because I don't have cable and therefore can't watch them until Sunday:( I will say that 15-year-old Russian girl, Yulia, who claimed the gold in the women's figure skating last weekend, was amazing! I've never seen anyone do anything like that before in that event, let alone a teenager. To think of my students pulling off something like that...it makes me cringe just thinking about how uncoordinated they'd be on ice. The laughs I would have! Note to self: arrange field trip to the skating rink asap.
Well, that's about it I'm afraid. I'll be spending the day getting caught up on some reading and some TMNT. I'll also still be having class via Google Hangout, which should be interesting to say the least. I may or may not have a new "Open Letter" up soon. I at least want to get one up by the end of the month. This weekend I'll be pretty busy: Valentine's Day cooking all day tomorrow, my mom's 50th birthday party Saturday and my dad's birthday Sunday, (yeah, I know, I couldn't have planned that any better myself). It's great that I don't have to work, otherwise I would probably be screwed. Here's to the minimal benefits of being unemployed! Until next time, I remain your faithful correspondent.
*I'd also like to say that I'm super excited that Camp Takota comes out tomorrow as well! You can pre-order the movie here. Watch the extended trailer! Congrats to Grace, Mamrie and Hannah on your success!
Hello again, and welcome to my terrific Tuesday post! (alliteration is key) As you might've guessed, not a whole lot has happened since last week. I saw my nephew again this past Saturday and he's still ADORABLE. Unfortunately that might be the only good thing to happen within the last two weeks.
(Which one is cuter?)
Although I do still feel indifferent over the whole unemployment thing, I'm starting to get antsy, sitting at home all day either reading for class, typing up assignments or looking for jobs. I feel like I started in a good place and now I'm back in a meh state of mind where I definitely don't want to stay. I have a promising interview a week from Thursday, so we'll see how that goes. Right now, that's my only promising lead, having been dropped from the contenders list of the first job I applied for already. Fingers crossed for some good news! Luckily I got called to substitute next week so, baring the inescapable weather conditions, I could be bringing home some bacon, (if only that were really true...)
Speaking of jobs, I had my secondary education intern orientation this afternoon and I feel really good about all the prospective intern sites at my disposal. Number one being my alma mater middle school, with two in close proximity to where I live being close second and third. All of the schools have a lot to offer, and right now I'm thinking I might want to give high school a second go, but for now all I can do is wait and see what happens at the open houses next week, (again, weather permitting). I swear to God, if these blizzards all pile on top of each other the ONE WEEK I have significant life decisions to make about my future, there will be HELL to pay.
In YouTube news, video footage released on the first of this month by Shay Carl Butler and Corey Vidal announced some new information regarding the popular and much-anticipated documentary feature Vlogumentary, which will hopefully be in theaters this coming summer. Obviously they couldn't say too much without giving stuff away, but we shall see the final product soon, which is more than we could say about a year ago when all this started. To say that I'm excited about this would be a severe understatement. You can view the two video announcements here:
Well that's about it. I'm pretty sure I had more to offer you today, but sadly I left my blogging planner at home and have since forgotten what I had originally planned to do for today. More to add to next week! Thursday I will be talking about the various things that happened in TV this week as well as other stuff, (probably). How's that for a vague description? I will also hopefully be starting observation work in addition to my open houses next week or this week, so stay tuned for more on that! Until next time, I remain your faithful correspondent.
PS: THIS JUST IN! SNOW DAY TOMORROW!! HUMP DAAAYYEEEEE YEEEAHH:)
