we had fun camping.

of course we left about 1.5 hours later then planned on Friday...decided to take the Mapquest directions (over AAA) and go all the way to 476 only to have all the lanes closed due to an accident. then by the time we got back to Philly (1 hour detour + some) we realized it would be sheer luck if we made it to the campground (4.5 hours away in upstate NY) in time before they closed. so we postponed until 7 am Friday and spent the evening hiding upstairs in the AC and napping. i love napping..did you know that?

anyway...the next few days were spent relaxing, eating, fishing ( a little..the fishing wasn't very good..we didn't see anyone catch more then a minnow the entire time), eating more, and goofing off. it was very pretty and even tho it rained a bit it wasn't too nasty or to hot ever.

now i'm back at work. work is work.

i started smoking again. not too bad..but a few here and a few there. i'm not really disappointed in myself or anything....i enjoy it so fuck it, i'll smoke when i want.

i got dressed up today before work...put on a cute little skirt and shoes and makeup and everything. sometimes its really great to feel like a girl...especially after a long weekend camping and being smelly from dirt and campfires.

i feel so lucky these days. my life is going where i want it. even when i get in a funk its short lived. when mark and i argue (what i consider really arguing anyway..which is really rare) its generally over fast and then we can joke about it later. i feel so lucky to have him in my life....even if i am "task master " tina. ha ha. this weekend when we were bouncing around in this stream and he was wearing all this camo and looked absolutely rediculous i said to him "you are my dream man". at the time i just blurted it out...but its nice cause its true..even if i don't say it enough.........

ok enough sappy crap!

did anyone know i decided not to be a teacher after taking that class at Temple this past semester? well i did. now i am pursuing the MOT (Masters of Occupational Therapy) and am very fucking excited about it. fuck the politics in teaching...i can have a job that pays twice as much (or more) and work with a wide range of people (kids, adults, ederly), disabled temp, or permanently, and in many different settings.

i don't really talk alot about myself here..just superficial crap...but for some reason i wanted to post a bit more. but thats all yer gonna get suckerssssssssssssss....maybe i'll update with some pics of our camping trip soon...maybe not.

have a great week kiddaroos.
