Today

I walked into the office with my diet coke and proceeded to drop it on the floor. Sigh. At least it didn't get on me.

The best thing about spring? Cute boys start riding their bikes to work and I get to see them on the bike path next to one of the roads I drive to work.

For those of you that asked the clothing swap was hosted by a friend of a friend. There were maybe 8 girls there and they all brought the clothing they didn't want anymore. I brought two bags of stuff. Then a free for all of trying clothing on happened (lots of half naked girls for the guys to think about right now) and people took what they wanted. I came out of it with a bag of stuff for myself and a few items for my mom (she loves the cargo pants, lisianthia). The rest of the stuff was packed up to be donated. It was a fun time and I am wearing a pair of jeans I got there that I really like.

I had another dream about killing someone and then hiding from the police a couple nights ago. I have a feeling that this is replacing the "you didn't go to any of the classes and now you have to pass the class" dream.

Jens really wants a job in the Minneapolis Public school system and it seems like it is impossible to get a job there. You have to be part of the union before you are able to apply for anything but you can't join the union until you have a job. Seriously, Jens is one of those people that you want teaching in an inner city school. Sigh.

So, Saturday I am thinking about walking around Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles and Lake Harriet starting about 9am if it isn't raining. Any one want to join me for all or part of it? All of them combined is 10.5 miles.

I wonder what weight I should be? According to the BMI thing I hover between being "normal" and "overweight" depending on how bloated I am. However, I am still slowly losing weight at the rate of a pound a month and I just wonder when this will end.

Tonight gwangi and I are going to the Twins game. I am pretty excited about this.

What does Jens teach, and at what grade level? I know some people who know some people at MPS, as well as a bunch of other metro districts.

Best bet if he's looking for a job in the metro: print out the map of metro are public school districts (PDF) and use it as a guideline for making sure he checks all the districts. There are a ton; it's hard to do from memory.

He teaches elementary school. Right now he is a long call sub for a kindergarten class. I think he is trying to focus on Minneapolis pretty closely because but I'll send him that map, it is pretty cool.

I think he went through the program that you work for, I am remembering where you work at the U. This is profile site:

What time is the game tonight? If work is slow enough, I might get out early! Are you sitting in the cheap seats or do you have good seats? :P

I have to get Tiff up on Saturday morning, but I'm planning on doing the OMGWTFBBQ thing on Saturday...I'd love to join up with you if you're still walking around 11:30!

My hope is to be done about noon so I can go home, shower and get to the OMGWTFBBQ at 1ish. However, just call.

We are going to try for good seats (Home Run Porch are half price on Tuesday) but we will go to the cheap seats if they are sold out.

I'm really glad your mom likes the pants. They are so cute, but I never wore them. I wore the shirt I got at the clothing swap to my interview today and I got the job!

I'm up for walking/running the lakes. I think the weather is supposed to be good.

I love this icon.

I have been wearing a lot of the clothes from the swap. I wore the dress yesterday and it was super cute. Yay for new clothes and yay for new jobs!

I don't think I'll be running. I need to break in my hiking boots more and if I am going to do that hike I should be able to walk 15 miles in low-altitude with no incline to start with. At somepoint I am going to have to start walking it with a pack.

It's my creepiest icon. I'm fine with walking it.

I'd argue that getting diet coke on the floor is healthier than drinking it!

You're going to a baseball game on purpose?...
