well folks. i dyed my hair.
it was supposed to be dark brown.
i left it on too long.
my hair is black.
i kinda like it.
but kinda don't like it.

the job is going well.
it can be exhausting.
some days i do energy work with the massage, those are the most tiring.
i did three that way today.
two of them were 80 min.

this is the most boring post i have ever made.

lets liven things up a bit.

it was an average day in the sunny town of Scottsdale Arizona. There was a slight breeze.....

SO I PULLED OUT MY GUUUUUN!....
( that was for Em.)

bla bla blaaaa.

So I'm not moving away. Yet.
My life here in the U.S. will continue but I am curious as to what is next.

moving on...

I learned a new modality of massage today. (hot stone)
I'm excited to practice and do it at work.

I am in the process of reading a book. And now thanks to Jay I have like 12 books I want to read.

I just hung new posters in my room. Yes they are anatomy charts and my room now looks like half office half sleeping, tv watching, dressing, grooming place. But hey... I can hang.

I got new shoes today and I'm looking forward to wearing them a lot. Mostly cause there are 4 new pairs!

Even though I had to work today I still got time by the pool so all is well.

I'm making good tips in the new job and money matters seem to be falling into place.

I did drop my phone today and broke it. But it's all good cause I'm due for an upgrade!

It's all good, yo!

modern livin

I'M MOVING A W A Y ! ! !
I've had it with gas prices!
I've had it with needing things that I don't want for myself!
I've had it with living just to pay bills to people I don't know, care for, or respect!
I've had it with living a life that means someone else can live off my money!
I've had it with Uncle Sam taking his cut before I'm allowed to get paid!
I've had it with being given my measly portion every OTHER Friday!

I want to move to a far away place. Live in a hut. Maybe become a fisherman. I hate fish but maybe I could work something out with one of the other locals, a trade of some kind.

I just don't want this. This being here to pay "The Man"...........



THAT'S WHAT IT IS! ! ! !
I HATE THE MAN!!!!
Stupid Man!

Stupid stupid man!

I want a more perfect place.
I want a world were no one needs gas.
I want a world were there is no "man" only just men.
I want a world were things are simple and not so complex.
I want a world were freedom means actual freedom.
I want a world were play is still innocent.
I want a world were popcorn doesn't burn......
(okay strike the popcorn thing)

Can I find such a place. I don't need Wonderland. I need vacation. I need away.
I need....a second job. stupid man.

What I don't understand is how Paris Hilton has a career? Or how she is viewed as a "roll model?" Who are these self loathing young people who say to them selves......"ya that Paris Hilton. That's what I wanna be."
It's like those old commercials for a drug free America.
You know the one....
"No one ever says. I wanna be a junkie when I grow up."
Why Paris?
Why have you brought yourself out and about. Why do I have to know who you are?
Money sucking. Porno making. Self destructive. Angry. Lonely. Misplaced little doll.
Why can't you take those billions of dollars to a good shrink or a "Life Coach" and learn how to be a human being, not a star.
Be your own star little buddy.
Just keep scrapin' along.
Call me. Maybe I can talk ya down from that ledge of disarray.

Poor Paris.

Poor us.

Tuesday Off

I hate Tuesday's! I always have. I understand that most of the world has this strong aversion to Monday. But I can handle a Monday. Getting up, being busy all day, ending the day tired because i worked at a disappointing job all day...I can handle that. But doing it all again the next day, now THAT pisses me off!
I have a new job working at a spa in Scottsdale...and guess what?
I HAVE TUESDAYS OFF! ! ! !
Yes world you can't bring me down. Throw at me what you will. It will be to no avail. Ya see I have a secret. I have some thing special in my heart. Something that you can't take away from me.
I.
Have Tuesday's off!
I'm going to the Zoo today...Not what I did yesterday. I worked yesterday.
Today the Zoo.
And I will work tomorrow.
But today is here, and it begins with freedom. (begin whistling "glory glory hallelujah now)
Freedom from work.
Freedom from care.
Freedom from responsibility.
Freedom from.......what every the %@$# I say!

Tuesday off.
You should try this.

What happened to the dream?

I'm at a lose my friends. I want so much to pursue the dream but I am feeling a bit discouraged. Everything in my life seems to be to "work for the bills." I hate this feeling. I want to act. I want to do more then have the everyday life.
Stupid being a grown up!
What does a girl do when the reality of life is fighting for the lead roll. I don't want to play the roll of everyday. I want to do more. I want to BE more.
But everything is money. And I don't have any. All I have is talent and that at best is getting rusty. And that wont buy plane tickets or pay an agent or afford classes.
They say if you have something to fall back on you will.
This bites! HARD!
Is there a time in life when one is really supposed to "give up" on dreams? I don't want that to be true. We are dreamers. We are players. I am more then everyday Jane American Billpayer.
Have you ever had a dream?
Are you fulfilling yours?
Do you like what you are doing with your life now?
Do you feel there is more to life then what you are doing?

Next Up...

The Next thing I"m going to learn to do is put pictures on my blog and on face book. Oh the times they are aheadin ' well ahead . And it's time to get ahead. Yea Me!
I'm getting ahead.

IM BACK!!!!

Bless You Jay! I am back to the land of blog! I was out of it. I couldn't get back into my blog. And now here I am one year later through the assistance of my dear good buddy Jay! Bless that man!

Well reader so much has happened in the year plus that I feel it necessary to skip past all of it and forge on ahead.

I currently live in Chandler Arizona. It is always warm. And that keeps me happy. I love it here. I live with my best friend. Which has its highs and lows. (we all know how girls get when the estrogen syncs up) I'm positive that I am the Crazy room mate. And I wear it with pride.

There will be more to attest to in the coming days. But for now I must go watch Wayne's World with Jay. The Beloved.

I'm Back! hehe

GRADUATION

This week will be filled with finals and finishing all the odds and ends. And ten my friends, on to victory.
Question...does anyone know where Victory lives? We have some things to discuss in the next couple of weeks.

Derek....new and improved

Picture it, a warm Feb. afternoon. The kids are leaving school for the day. Some are on the playground others are just wanting to get home.
And then there was one. Derek. He stands far away from the crowd. He is a loud boy. There is a wind on. The boy faces into the wind and shouts. No Porpose, no frustration. Not a scream, but a boyish hollar. Fullfilling a need to just make noise. He doesn't know I am watching him from were I sit. He yells with all he has. I am so much more then entertained!!!! I laugh out loud at the sight of this kid just a hollarin' to the wind. Only because I understand that need!

confession....

#1) I have never seen any of the Rocky films. (Sorry Kat)

#2) When you are sad....I am sad. (what's that about)

#3) I like it better when my brother is in jail.(I worry less)

#4) I prefer people who are Quarkie. (business is boring)

#5) I want to audition for American Idol. (Don't say "do it")

#6) I have absolutley NO desire to EVER be married.

#7) I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener

The End

A great new look

Reyna wore a new hat today.
It looked like unto a jesture hat. On the ends it has little pom poms.
Eleni walks up, gives the ends a light tug so that the top is flat, and say "there. Now you look like a pinata."

THE END

It starts...

Cold and flu season has begun. I was down four kids yesterday and the ones that were there were having a "cough Olympics." Beware gang the stories are about to get better.
Think of it 15 kids. 1 class room. 2 teachers. the possiblities are endless.

A Horse Of A Different Color

Saturday I was at the mall with my bosses kids. (she was out of town and I stayed with her kids.) And were playing with those grab machines trying to win a toy from the game. ( I never win these things.) And that's what I thought in my head. "I Never Win These Things."
Suddenly there was a voice in my head. It wasn't mine. It was Meggie's! (one of my massage instructors.)
It was the old "Possitive Affermation. Will it to happen" lecture. (Yea, loud and clear!)

So I tried it. An "experiment on the word" if you will.

I said. "I'm going to win this." (it was a Care Bear) So I thought "I'll give it to Meggie to give to Maddie after I win it." (Maddie is her daughter.)

I Got it in one shot.

It was so COOL!

THEN...

I told Shannon "Dude you have to try this." I gave her two quarters and SHE GOT IT.

I thought "This is Amazing!!!"

"Matt. Come 'ere. Take these two quarters and try to get something from the grab machine. Believe you'll get it. Don't doubt it." HE GOT IT!

It was the coolest thing ever!

From there the day just kept getting better. Mostly durring my clinic shift. I had 5 AMAZING Bodywork sessions. And I got Fab. evaluations from all of my clients. One of them a staff member who gets worked on allthe time. And another who has been coming to the clinc for the past 10 years and said that in "about 250 Massages" i was among his top five.
It was s o cool cause all of my clients were like "Dude you are going to be able to work anywhere you want. Your amazing"
I could go into way more detail but its too long.
Totally a Supper Awesome Amazing Day!!!!!

I LOVE BODY WORK! ! ! !

Your mom Called.....

It's Halloween. I'm fat. and I'm comin' ta get ya.

the kids speaks out

This week one of my kids ran up to me and gave me a hug then she said "Teacher Lisa your skinny.....Kinda"

Little....

Kids

Arora: Teacher Lisa I'm fast!

Me: Who said you could be so fast?

Arora: My dad.

Me: Is your dad fast?

Arora: No. He's fat.

I challenge Anyone to beat that. She's only four. And she's already getting the hang of slammin' her parents. It was a proud day for me.

Siblings

Why is is that these people are so capable of bringing you to the brink of your sanity? Truely we care for them. Only those we let in are capable of this drive. We were raised together (to a point) and we feel we know them. Sometimes it's easier to be disapointed in them because we expect more from them. They should "know better" or something like that. We see what they CAN be. And we want that for them. And when they fall short of that, are we not more disapointed then we would be if it were just another somebody?
I'm not saying we are the perfect siblings either. We must be disapointing to them too. Otherwise they would call more. Or something. Rihgt?

Cute little guy

JACOB(4 yrs old.): Teacher Kerri you look pretty today. You look like Lisa, but your Kerri.

He is of course my new best friend!

Dog eat dog world

No for real gang do we really need to have people in this world who dress up thier dogs? Does the dog really need that experience? Come on folks! What are we doing?
