ruthie14 · 07-24-2012, 02:25 PM

Saw 3 different movies the last 2 weekends during Qfest... 1 I saw twice because it was so damn good! So funny!! That one is called Cloudburst and it stars Olympia Decakus (sp?). She is awesome in it!!!! Also saw Molly's Girl and A happy Ending. Both very good and there was a Q & A after each of the last 2 with some of the actors, directors and producers. I am hooked! I will HAVE to go next year! Have a great week lofters!

Welcome Kiwi

Sweet_Amor_Taino · 07-25-2012, 10:33 AM

Good morning to everyone
I guess I will join you all,I am 59. I am ageing gracefully and for that I am grateful. I am enjoying my life more each day and being true to myself and creating beautiful memories with he ones I love.
This is very impost to me.

Enjoy today as it were your last

ruthie14 · 07-26-2012, 03:23 PM

Having a bad day. Started out wrong and just continued. Because of my wrist/elbow and back injuries I need to move to an older classroom. The one that I wanted will not have enough kids in it to function. The only room I could take is working with a woman who is difficult to work with. I'm hoping that somehow she and I will click. I have to leave my current coteacher behind so I am NOT at all happy about that. We are going to try it for a week (next week) to see how it goes. We shall see how it goes. It just makes for more stress and right now, I DO NOT NEED ANY MORE STRESS!

I do, however, need a new job!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I am going to try my very best to have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

What do you mean by an old classroom Ruthie?

There are vacancies in my company if you fancy Malaysia!

ruthie14 · 07-26-2012, 05:24 PM

Hey Kiwi.

Older kids.. right now i am teaching 18 month to 2 year olds...they are going to put me in a class of 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 year olds. I actually wanted the 3 1/2 to 4 year olds...but that is the class that they think they will not have enough kids for.

Malyasia huh... I thnk my elderly mother would have a few things to say about that! lololol A little more of a commute than I would like! lololololol

morningstar55 · 07-28-2012, 12:18 PM

Hey lofters.... hows everyone sat.?? Mine is so so... hanging here in Morris IL. Till 2morrow afternoon thn headng 2 ..... West Lake, ohiya

ruthie14 · 07-28-2012, 12:51 PM

Hello Lofters!

Morning Morningstar... Hope you are finding something fun to do while you hang out in Ill.

I went to the er yesterday with another migraine. Took a day off work and since mom is away, had to ask a friend to take me. The wonderful Wendy was right there to be my shero! lol Anyway, new migraine med did NOT work so hence the er visit. I am NOT a fan! Love the relief, but not the bills. sigh.. Back to the dr I go to try a new one. I need to stop lifting things ... I hate that I have the muscle to do this stuff and my neck doesn't like it!! Very frustrating. Lifted a box earlier this week (should not have I know), nailed 2 shelves.. also a no no, will have to get someone to finish that for me, and I dared to clean out my bedroom closet... apparently now THAT is a no no.. I am going to have to change how I do some things. Spread them out more and ask for help. I HATE asking for help.. sigh.. but I hate the bills more! I wish I had the cash to pay someone to do some of this stuff. I hate having to ask friends. My mom does things, but she is 72, I don't like asking her either. I need a new body.

Anyway, relaxing and watching some of the beautiful women who are playing in the Olympics. Watched the end of the Columbia vs US womens soccor game.. great game... we won. at 3 I'm watching beach volley ball... love that.

Trying to take care of some stuff around the house SLOWLY! A little laundry... .. ice and relax.. a little put this or that a way.. ice and relax... I have a date tomorrow. Going to the beach with this really wonderful butch I have been dating recently. She doesn't want a commitment so it is sexless fun for now. lolol It is fun getting to know her though. I just can't do the sex without commitment thing. Don't have to be living together or have a ring on my finger... but have to be committed and not dating anyone else. We shall see. Having fun for now... dating other ppl as well. Nice to have some choices.

ttyl,
Ruthie

morningstar55 · 07-28-2012, 04:02 PM
