dear watch: i love you

so i was going to go to the bar to watch the world cup game, but it was rainy and cold, and even through the rain cleared up, i realized i had no desire to go to that bar. so here i am drinking some tea and waiting for my podcast to download! and you know what? i am more than happy doing that tonight. that girl that i met here in eyguieres who is near my age....i see her all the time, but we make eye contact and i smile, yet she looks away. i think i've realized that the people taht are my age in this town really don't have much in common with me besides the fact that they live in the same little place. a lot of people i've met or have made impressions on me are super happy to settle here with people they've known for a while and not venture outside of that, while me, i'm happy to be here, but i know there's a lot more out there.

tomorrow, i think i'm going to an art exhibit in aix which makes me happy because i knew i wanted to return to look at the art there. there are so many museums! and my french lesson friend may come with me too!

today was great. again i felt like a car had rolled over me 5000 times, but i didn't have a fever. i think i'm just tired. the kids were good. we timed ourselves home and made it in 11 minutes from the park. they LOVE the timer on my watch. it works miracles for me: i use it to time table setting, teeth brushing, shoe putting-on, park biking....everything. amazing. also, the kids love to choose cds to put in the stereo whcih makes me happy because i think i'm having a positive influence on their music taste.

another breakthrough is i feel like me and the kids are a clan, and that's cool because they're my little groupies. i think i'm more stable for them than their parents because my only job is them, and they're beginning to appreciate that presence. oooh me and the girlie clipped pictures from a magazine and decoupaged them, and i love what she did. i hope she becomes a little artist because of me!

bye. thanks for caring. i'd love some comments if you're reading. :)
