Resistance is futile

or so i hear.

I'm trying out Vox once again to see how I like it. I do have a regular LJ but I haven't been updated there like I used to. Do people miss me rambling about my life? Probably not, but everything just feels off to me now over there. So it's time for a fresh start!

What I liked about yesterday was that I was able to go on a field trip with my kids from work. We went to a local nature center and the kids learned a bit about creepy crawlies. Jeremiah, the guy who was putting on le presentation, showed us a hissing Madagascan cockroach and a tarantula. The kids gave it mixed reviews. Some were very interested and excited to see one up close and some were freaked out and started crying. Mind you I work with little five and six year old children and had to reassure them that everything was okay and that nothing was going to harm them.

8/365: Tarantula

This photo was as close as I was getting to that tarantula. This photo is also apart of my 365 days project.

Alice Crocs

To continue on with my day after work I went home with my mom to the mall. My birthday is this month and she wanted to buy me an outfit or something. I browsed through the COACH section, because i'm COACH obsessed, and then through the clothes and shoes. I tried on various dresses even though i'm not a dress type of girl because I do have my cousin's wedding to attend in October but I didn't find anything that I particularly liked so I passed on getting an outfit.

In the shoe department of Dillard's I found some Croc mary jane alice shoes and some super comfortable Reef sandals. The teacher I work with always has the most comfortable looking shoes and being that i'm on my feet with kids all day I really do need more comfortable shoes. When I found these I had to buy them and they ARE comfortable and cuter looking than regular Crocs which I would not own.

While out we stopped at a few other places. I ended up picking out two nice shirts for Joseph, my fiancé, and a pair of nice dark blue slacks. When I presented it to him he wished I hadn't spent money on him as it IS my birthday soon and he should be spending on me.. but I couldn't help myself. I like him to look nice and it's not like it was a big splurge. I like to do nice thing's for my man.

Anyhow we did the usual.. watch CSI episodes on cable, went out to eat, and then we came back to my place where I looked at houses online. My goal in the next two to three years is to buy our first house. I enjoy looking at pictures of houses for sale online or watching the real estate channel on TV and thinking about the future.
