Can I say I strongly loathe my sister? Ugh. She drives me crazy. She is so naive.
So um. We're at dinner tonight as a family, and the conversation was all about sister know it all.
So let me update you on sis, since I know its been months. She had dropped out of her masters program because she didn't want to write a thesis, but reenrolled because she was bored. She got her masters in like May or something.
So... um... just because she got a piece of paper she's still as stupid as before, and that's pretty stupid.
So... she got 2 dogs a few months ago, there was a whole runaway incident and only 1 came back, so she adopted a new one. So... um... the reason the little one was lost, and this was the cute one, was because sis didn't believe in putting a block in the fence so it could avoid getting out.
Um... the dumb one, the big one, Josefina, wtf type of name is that btw? Josepfina is allowed in the house, and no other dog has been before. Josefina climbs on everything - furniture, couch, and on people. My sister claims it is just the way dogs act. Um. I'm sorry, dumb shit, no they don't. Dogs need to be trained. She claims they don't because they're a part of nature.
So dumb shit sister was mad at me a few weeks back because I was home visiting my parents when Josefina climbs up on me while I'm laying on the couch. She nearly lands on my laptop computer. I slap the dog and pick it up by its collar, then throw her outside in the yard. My sister came in the room at the time I was throwing the dog out, and yelled at me because I wouldn't want to be treated the way I just treated the dog, then slugged me as hard as she could in the back. I was about to slap back, but my sister probably would have called the cops.
So time for Christmas, she got mad at me because I bought her dog training courses. She was in tears because I bought her such a bad gift, it wasn't a gift for her, it was for the dog. Also, it was wrong because dogs are a part of nature and should not be trained. Why did i only buy the trainings for 1 dog? She said the dog listens to her, you just have to know how to talk to it.
So... we will fast forward to her school stuff now.
So... she got hired teaching at the local community college... what? Why did I not get hired? She is only teaching 1 class, a basic intro class into speech. She claims she has the highest ratings of any professor ever. She said that she had high reviews from students and her faculty reviewer. Um. I doubt that. Everything on ratemyprofessor.com says otherwise.
She talks about the kids tell her how hot she is - my sister is far from it- and everyone I talk to, friends and family included tell me she's not hot. She dresses like a preteen, wears sweatsuits, has unnaturally straight hair that she straights with the dumb iron, and is all acne-eed out.
So... she talks nonstop about how great the kids think she is, and how considerate she is.
She talks about how my parents and I don't know how to teach because we're only secondary teachers. She talks about how she has only good kids. Um. Doubtful.
So... her class is also the most popular because she has a wait list. I informed her it is probably because it is a required class that kids have to take to transfer to a CSU school. She said its not true and kids are talking to her to teach more classes. Um. Doubtful.
So now I've got my frustrations out...

Ringing in the New Year - NYC for NYE
Christmas was pretty good - Christmas Eve I ran errands, cleaned up around the place, then headed to my parents. We had steak and opened gifts. It was tasty. Got most everything I asked for from my parents like slippers and a few pairs of shoes. There were a few weird gifts like my mom always buys, and it is like why? I got a car blanket for my trunk, a horrid looking pocket watch with some hunting scene on it... wtf am I 70? Who uses pocket watches? Socks that don't fit.
Christmas Day was spent making some spinach dip, then going to my aunt's house. Great fun hanging with the family. I wanted one of those little flying helicopters like they have in the malls etc. that you can buy, and had my hands on that during the gift exchange/stealing game thing, and it was stolen by my aunt. I had my hands on an Atari game set, which was also stolen, then ended up with a color changing shower head that apparently won't fit any of my shower heads.
Day after I jetted off in first class to NYC. Matt Damon was on my flight with his familia. He is HAWT.
Spent the next day with Mike's family. We went out shopping with his mom. The following day was pretty much like that, we also met his cousin who lived in the area devastated by Sandy.
Made our way to the city the following day to hang with his friend K, O and P. We went to dinner at several small plate places in the west village. Browsed real estate too in the area. Found a place for $299 that was probably really scary, or had some insane HOA. Found a cute $459k place on 25th that was also vetoed. Enjoyed our Times Square hotel btw.
Went to the transit museum, and shopped our favorite NYC stores. Best store ever is Lord & Taylor. LOVE THAT STORE. Great shoes, clothes, etc. Uniqlo was insane. Too crowded to buy anything.
Met up with my friend D who just got back from Albania and is teaching in the Bronx. Mike didn't really like him. hahaha. He was a bit obnoxious he thought. That's his personality. Haha.
NYE was spent shopping at the stores mentioned above, then we had our own party up in our hotel looking down onto the stage. Melissa Ethridge took the stage about 6, then there were a few performances every now and then. I thought the entertainment would be constant. Could not fathom standing on the street for hours and not being entertained continuously. We watched simultaneously down below, could open our window and hear it, then watched on TV. Went down to dinner about 10:30 at a Thai restaurant, were back up in our room to see the ball drop and make out session, before heading down on the street to see the aftermath. It clears out fast. The amount of trash and pizza boxes and confetti is amazing.
Up at 8 the next morning for brunch with K, O, and P. Mike made eggs, potatoes, and a few other goodies. Lots of champagne too. We left K to nap while we made our way to Union Square for Nordstrom Rack. Found nothing. Headed up 5th Avenue to the flatiron district for our favorite stores. Met K a few hours later for a shopping adventure. Thought about DaninOKC as we found some really cool stores. Our favorite we had been to before was Fishs Eddy, found some awesome plates and gifts. Then we found a few new stores that are new favorites - ABC Home. Dan, that's a store I think you would really enjoy that is a mix of furniture, design, and more. Walked all over town up to nearly 23rd and then down to West Village again where we found cute places for dinner. Went into the hidden Speakeasy Employees Only. AMAZING MANHATTAN. Love me my Manhattan. Said goodbye later to K, which was sad.
The next day was spent traveling home - made it out before the blizzard. It was a feel like 12 degrees, but really 22 when we left. I loved the cold weather. I loved the calm. I loved being all bundled up. Rode home in first class. Only way to go.
Yesterday was my cousin's wedding, and it was so amazing. I nearly lost it. She was so beautiful. Had an awesome Oscar De La Renta dress. Had such a fun time with family too.
Craziest story. I kept seeing a girl at the wedding and kept turning around to look at her. Stalkerish, well, I knew her. I kept trying after the wedding to talk to her, but she disappeared. I finally asked my cousin's now husband if the girl was, and the name of my student. He said he had no idea. I finally saw her again, and approached her, and found out there's a weird family relation - very distant. My cousin's now husband's sister's husband's sister is my student. What would that make her? LOL. I think she was as surprised as I was. She's a good girl. She's got like a 98% in my class. Always challenges everything that I say in a good way - a discussion type of way - she's very vocal. What are the chances of this meeting? So weird. My cousin married into this Mexican family, and my school is in an all Mexican area. 92% hispanic. Her husband went to my school when he was in middle school. My cousin does live in the area I work, so I guess there's always that chance.

Partying it up
Spent the better part of the month partying when I wasn't working.
Well, when I was working I was dealing with a bunch of crazy stuff. I had the Dept. of Corrections test this past weekend to be a corrections officer.
Also signed up to teach in the prisons.
And applying at local colleges.
My cousin's wedding shower was last weekend too. It was great seeing all the family. Great food, and some bonding time with my cousins who live nearby. Mike and I are making plans to get together with them.
The weekend before we did a massive housecleaning for all my teacher friends to come over. It was only going to be just English teachers, but ended up inviting a few others. Wish I had invited M and B. Next time. We had such a blast. Started off the night with a cheese plate, jalapeño poppers, then had chili, bread, and all sorts of cookies for desserts. Wine and cheese was wonderful. Had such a blast.
Going to a drag Christmas party at The Guy's tomorrow. Trying to plan a weekend trip with him and Rob.
Going to the work Christmas party too tomorrow.
We went to happy hour yesterday after work to celebrate the kids being gone - today was a teacher work day. OMG. So fun. M and I sang Christmas carols. My sissy was there too- first happy hour she went to this year. We celebrated our favorite lesbian getting engaged. Everyone thinks it is beyond time for Mike and I to tie the knot, and they all want to have a party for us.
We had our first pep rally at school this past week. Was soooo fun. I was in 2 scenes - teachers performed to Beyonce's Single Ladies and Can't Touch This with B. B is my favorite guy. He seriously is so fun. He's a former police guy, great rapport with the kids, big supporter of me and my sexuality (his dad is gay).
That's what's going on in my world. What's going on in yours?

Cooking
Decided to do a cooking survey...
1. How good of a cook are you?
I'm a good cook. My food turns out edible. I have realized after watching all of these "Top Chef" shows, and my BF, that my cooking needs to be more adventurous, and I should not be scared to try new things.
2. Who taught you how to cook?
My mother, when I was 4 years old.
3. Who does the cooking in your home?
My BF usually most nights because he thinks his cooking is superior to mine... he thinks everything he does is superior to me.
4. Do you cook more or eat out more?
We only eat out 2 or so nights a week, sometimes more if it is just one of those days we need to get out.
5. Are you more of a cook or dessert maker?
Cook... I can do a nice fudge and brownie, though.
6. What was your worst/funniest cooking moment?
When my BF gave me non gluten shit to cook and make some cake, and didn't have half the ingredients, then wonders why it doesn't turn out.
Funniest would be when I was about 5 making breakfast for my parents.
7. What's your best dish?
My grandma's pork chops, my pork chop, anything with chicken... hmmm. Oh, I have a great enchilada recipe. I like to cook Mexican food.
8. Is revenge a dish best served cold?
Yes... sometimes it just makes you feel better.
9. Is the best way to a man's heart truly through his stomach?
Yep... just look at my waist.
BONUS
Have you made whoopee in the kitchen? Which foods have you used to spice up your love life?
Nope... and there aren't any foods to spice up my love life.

My thoughts and likes and recent travels
Need to get back into the blogging habit. I find it so therapeutic.
2 weeks ago we spent a great weekend in San Clemente, which is a newfound love. Great food and Fun people. Spent about 4 hours in a bar with a sassy latina bartender. Viva Columbia. Good wine too.
Last weekend we hung out with J&B at a fish restaurant we like. Caught up on family and happenings in our lives. Fun times. Went to a brewery attached to a pizza place after.
Spent this past week in NY - my first Thaksgiving away from my family. I missed seeing them since I haven't seen the majority of them since Easter, but it was good. Here's how the week unfolded:
- Spent Sunday night in LAX hotel with crunchy sheets. Got no sleep.
- Monday morning we had a nice 1st class flight to ORD and then onto Philly. Took forever to deice plane. Wanted to go see Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, as well as Poe's house, but didn't get the chance. Went to Atlantic City instead where I wasn't paying attention and was making $10 bets on video blackjack, and made over $100. Yay.
- Tuesday we visited Mike's family. Went to dinner with his parents at a Chinese restaurant where I had the most amazing grand mariner shrimp.
- Wednesday we went to NYC where we hung out with K, Mike's friend from Kindergarten on. We checked out her new studio apt and then went bar hopping in her neighborhood. We happened upon the most amazing restaurant there with shoestring fries and fish and good mashed potatoes. We will go there again. Also went to the Stonewall Bar where we found some really friendly people. Also met a hairstylist who was giving everyone pointers. Good times. Went and saw the balloons too. Stayed at Hilton in Fashion District.
- Thursday we got up about 7:15 and dressed. We got dressed and met up with K again. Drove uptown to a parking garage to go to our caviar restaurant/benedict restaurant. After, we went and watched the parade. Saw the pikachu, doughboy, and buzz lightyear balloons before heading out. So fun. Drove to Jersey and chatted with Mike's bros and parents as Thanksgiving dinner was being prepared. Did a little browsing online too. Watched TV and the games on.
- Friday we were up early. We were upgraded to 1st class again for our jaunt to LA.
- Weather throughout the trip was nice - cold, windy, and in the 30s. Wish it were a little colder. Snow would be nice too.
We are going back to NY next month, and I can't wait.
Christmas season is here. I have a strange obsession recently with my last name - those of you who know understand - it is unique, and well, I'm on a search for anything related to my last name. Have come across some good knick knacks for my classroom and for Christmas related to it.
My other big Christmas wants this year include a massage, pedicure, any Vans casuals shoes size 12, a small brown leather jacket that is collarless, a pair of any color of Nike Airs in size 13.
I'm thinking I want to propose to my man near the end of this year.
Work has been ok - we will talk about that later.
Anyone tried vaping? That seems to be the new thing, and well, for shits and giggles I tried it. It's so so.
My parents have 2 new dogs. 1 of them got lost and they got a replacement. Both are interesting. Both are house dogs now, but need to go out.

Weekend getaways
Nearly every weekend between the past 3 and Christmas is booked. So thrilled. Loving it. It is really what is keeping me sane, besides a partner who will listen to me bitch about work, and everything else
Weekend before last was Laguna, which we had mussels at one of our favorite restaurants, then enjoyed wine and a fire in our hotel suite.
Saturday morning we ventured to Phoenix/Tempe/Tucson. Good times. We had nothing but amazing food all weekend. It was relaxing. Was great weather too. Bought lots of good stuff. Making fun of the BF and him making fun of me. Good times.
Next weekend is the all night Knotts Field Trip, and the beach again.
The following weekend we are hanging with our friends J&B, and the weekend after that is a shopping weekend.
Hopefully going to hang out with The Guy Friday. I need to see a friend. Hanging out with my former boss Thursday. Can't wait for either.
Bought a Macbook Air the other day. I had a very old 2007 Mac that I traded in. So far it is hard to get used to the small keyboard.
Songs I am listening to, and you should be too:
Need a massage badly ASAP. My hands have been knotting up lately, and it is hard to make a fist. I got a massage last month, and the therapist only focused on my hands, and it took like an hour to get the knots out. I got a massage last Wednesday, and same situation, she spent the majority of the time on my hands. I have no clue what's going on - i am not really doing anything different, or using my hands in new ways. Therapist on Wednesday said it is possibly knots in my tendons in my elbow, which I never heard of such a thing. Oh well... massage ASAP.
Disappointed I don't have tickets to see George Strait's farewell tour.
Wanting something fun to do for my birthday coming up.

Work……………………...
Hi guys…
Stream of thoughts… here we go…
Work sucks. I'm tired of being cussed out on a daily basis. Fuck you, stupid ass idiot, whatever, why the fuck can I not send the kids out on a referral? Why am I supposed to take that? Why when I send them out for that, you tell me I don't have control?
Why, when 80% of my kids have a D or F in 1 class it is my fault? I am teaching at grade level. I have a bunch of lazy kids, and I'm supposed to pass them? Laziness is not getting the kids anywhere. They need to see they're going to flunk, and hopefully be held back like the principal says. I can't in good conscience pass the kids for doing nothing. We hear it nonstop from the high school that the kids wonder why they can't succeed in high school when middle school they didn't have to do anything. My kids are going to work their little selves to get the grades they deserve. I don't baby.
Why do I have to have such crazy kids? No joke. I have 1 kid who has called in threats about the school, another who has been suspended 30 days this year, another who cusses me out, and then goes and punches the wall, one who thinks he is a dog and crawls on the floor and tries to pee act like he is peeing like a male dog, and barks randomly in class, or the kid who steals and doesn't know he is doing it (forget the name for that). All of these kids have been suspended at least 15 days, and due to district bureaucracy get to stay in the class and disrupt others. Kids like these need to be in a more restrained environment where they can't hurt 30 other students.
I did have a pretty good evaluation last week despite most of those crazies I mentioned above being present in class. The other 20 kids did a pretty good job ignoring them.
The students like A, K, R, M, and a few others do remind me that I am there to teach, and make my day better.
I've been so busy at work I haven't seen family.
I have had 2 great weekends, and am looking great to another. Spent last weekend along the beach, and the weekend before that in wine country with my man.
Took the test to be able to teach Espanol, and think I aced it. Hopefully it increases my chances of getting to high school….

I have had 2 great weekends, and am looking great to another. Spent last weekend along the beach, and the weekend before that in wine country with my man.
Took the test to be able to teach Espanol, and think I aced it. Hopefully it increases my chances of getting to high school….
