One eternity later...

9:04 PM

My dear friends,

I sincerely apologize to anyone who has been waiting anxiously for a post. I have honestly been super busy to the point where I can purchase a planner and actually USE it.

I survived an entire week at my new job, which wasn't a breeze. But I did it! I truly enjoy it and my kiddos have enjoyed Spanish class as well. I know because they actually tell me. I mean, it's been the same thing all last week... lesson plans, songs about colors and days of the week, yadda yadda.

Last Friday I celebrated a three birthdays with three special ladies! Last Tuesday we celebrated Crissy&Chrissy's birthday at Eno's Pizza Tavern in Bishops Arts District and boy was is delicious. Had a splendid time and if you ever get a chance to try that place out PLEASE try the Pig Smiley. It has ham, spicy sausage, pepperoni, OH AND LOCAL FREAKIN' HONEY. Yes, you read right... honey. Trust me. It is amazing.
Second birthday celebration was for the lovely Mariah! Possibly the sweetest girl I know. She (finally) went to the Truck Yard since you know it's all I talk about and boy was it a good time! Had a Trashcan Punch and it was tasty and did its job. But, I sure did look like a fool that night! Ha. No, I was NOT wasted. So... let me share with you why. I was going to take a seat, if you've been there you know there are some seats that don't look very safe. To make the story short, I sat on a cheap lawn chair, it was broken, I busted my butt, and cut the back of my leg with the metal legs on the chair. Yikes! Glad i've had my tetanus shot. 
Last, but NOT LEAST YOU. I attended the One Direction concert. Yes, you read it right. One Direction. I have a weak spot for boy bands ok... and I also have a favorite. Harry Styles. Something about that messy hair of his and not to mention he's like super goofy. I don't know why they make a girl feel beautiful... OHHHH OH OH... that's what makes them beautiful! That was a bit cheesy. I never thought I would listen to another boy band because the Jonas Brothers were my everything, but those british boys sure make my heart melt. (I still love you Nick.) But honestly, I truly had a blast! Thanks so much Vanessa for dragging me along.
My friends, I will TRY really HARD to keep up with it, okay? I start classes this week at UNT and trust me I am not looking forward to it. Especially the drive to Denton. Have y'all driven down 35?! Your girly needs prayers, I would appreciate every single one you send my way.

xoxo

Tomorrow is Monday.

Boy, I had a wonderful weekend. I apologize. I know y'all have been anticipating my next post.


But with all honesty, a lot went down this weekend. I finally saw my little classroom. For those of you who don't know or those of you who haven't read my ABOUT ME section, I am now a Spanish teacher at a little private school. Woot! I feel absolutely blessed to have come across this opportunity. I lived through an entire summer without a job which was terrible. I planned to hunt for a job with flexible hours and decent pay. How very picky of me, but hey... after working for a road side assistant call center who never ever gave me weekends off (I went 9 months without a weekend, ok.) I think I deserve a job where I felt a bit more appreciated. I mean, honestly, would you want an adult yell obscene words at you on the phone when all you're trying to do it help?! I really shouldn't be complaining because that job payed the bills and put bread on the table. So even though I had a job I did not "enjoy" I was still blessed to have it, but I sure have rights on complaining, right? OK, lets get to the good stuff.
How stinkin' cute is this? Obviously there is not much I have to do to the room because there is PLENTY going on in there.

So I dropped some of my classroom material Friday morning and then I went home and did a little resting. Then I got a phone call. My sister was in need of a drink and I kind of rightfully earned a night out. So I called my cousin, asked her if she was dressed, and gave her 10 minutes to be ready.
I tried a new place out that I've been dying to try. The Rustic Resturant which is located in Uptown was a good time! Not only do that have wholesome, organic, savory, farm-fresh ingredients with your meals that you can wash down with a (or some) local beer, spirits, and wine... BUT you'll also have a side of local live music! I had the opportunity to listen to the Dallas local band The O's. Absolutely brought out the atmosphere with their harmonica and banjo. You honestly forget your in the middle of all the buildings with their country/folky music. Ugh... but to be honest. I am still thinking about that mimosarita though. It's definitely a go-to place. (Oh... just a heads up. Plan on breaking the bank)
Saturday night was a good time since we hit up my favorite spot, The Truck Yard. Food trucks, junkyard decor, and booze? Nothing beats that.
Ok, so Saturday and Sunday morning/afternoon, Shane and I did a little shopping which was a pain since there was a stampede of high school students getting on those back-to-school sales. Regardless, we saved a buck or two which is always nice.

I am starting working tomorrow, but a weekend like this sure calms my nerves. 

xoxo Liz
