Moonlit Jazz

love to let the doggies roam the backyard…

It almost felt like just another day. But it wasn’t. First off, it was Wednesday, which meant a short day for the kids. Second, it was my last day at YVHS. When I had time to think about it, I felt sad. But I didn’t have much time for that.

I did my best to clean up, but there is so much work still. A bunch of stuff is in the basket and I never got a chance to explain it to anyone. I left without faxing back a transcript request. I didn’t turn in my parking pass. Or my ID. But oh well, eh?

A lot of people didn’t know that it was my last day. I suppose I should have told the teachers, but I didn’t. Everyone was so nice though. They had some really nice things to say and I am touched, so touched. Truly. I got a card from the office staff and a tealight holder. So pretty! One of the subs brought me a bag of goodies and a card. So sweet! 🙂

And I got one last chat with a very lovely senior (hi V!) who might get to interview someone I’d like to just say my name. Thanks for the chocolate, m’ dear! It helped me along with my day.

My last half hour slowed down a bit and I made my rounds and said goodbye to everyone. Gosh, I am going to miss everyone!!! I hope we all keep in touch because I really liked a lot of the folks there. They made my days there a most wonderful experience. I’m especially going to miss the Mr. VP (he’s the only “he” of the bunch) and She Who Will Hopefully Save My Girl Scout cookies. 🙂 And I will also miss my lunchtime mates.

Alas.

The last person I saw was the principal. She was so sweet. She said I was perfect and thanked me for the job that I did. She’s wonderful!

And I walked out as if it were just another day. I didn’t even look back. Maybe that’s best…

we will meet again someday
perhaps a time not so faraway
I will always wish the best for you
for all your days, in all you do
we might not share the everydays
the laughter and the woes
but we can share the stories
the adventures as we go
we will meet again someday
we’ll take the time and find a way
until then, here’s to you
and the wonderful things you do…

I like taking pictures of Holli. She’s just so funny sometimes. 😉

This was on the way to work at the beginning of Marsh Creek. You can see Mt. Diablo in the distance. The white stuff is SNOW! It’s really an amazing sight. 🙂

Go and rent this!!! Ryan was fantastic in it!!! 🙂 (I don’t have to rent it because I’m a total fangirl and bought the dvd. LOL!)

We dropped by Blockbuster to rent some movies. 🙂

Now I’m nervous about tomorrow. Aaack!

the day is near
a certain end
am I ready to say
farewell to friends
so it was work
but it was fun
sharing the hours
laughs with some
I hope they know
how good they are
how easy time flew
when the end seemed far
and I will remember
this time with all of them
with a happy heart
and a tinge of regret

Tomorrow is my last day at YVHS. I have too much to do. And too little time. I hope I don’t forget anything! Alas.

WOW!

That sounds weird…

I almost cried at the end. I never thought Claire’s dad was all bad and after that ep, I realize that he did what he thought was best for his family. I knew he loved Claire. He loved her enough to let her go in every way. What a sacrifice. 🙁 So sad!

So even though there was no Nathan (I love his eyes) or Peter (which way is he going?) or even Sylar (evil man!!!), I thought it was a great episode. And next week’s rocks!

Oh, loved the little Hiro with his Gameboy. Classic. LOL!

do you like
the way you stop
with merely your name
falling soft from my lips
not giving way
not even a hint
the delicious heat
coursing inside
oh I like
the fierce fire in your eyes
knowing it’s mine
with just a smile
innocence clashing
wickedness flashing
still not a hint
the naughty thoughts inside
so we like
this little game
this sweet prelude
to something beyond the wild
to something behind the dreams
to something like the torture of the tease

she’s so serious sometimes

A rainy Monday. It came down so hard at times. I was glad I was inside.

I had to leave work early today. Sorry to any of the kids who needed something from me after school. Ooops! 😛

Or so they say. 😛

I was really really hoping Ryan would win. And until they announced Forest Whitaker’s name, I thought Ryan would win. Total fangirl, eh?

Mandi, Ryan, Donna

A long time ago, Donna Gosling emailed me. Isn’t that cool? And tonight she got to sit in the front row of the Academy Awards with her Oscar-nominated son. Wow! 😀

there they are again…

As for the rest of the show, it was too long and just a little boring. I liked the first musical number (Will Ferrell, Jack Black, John C. Reilly) and actually liked the Dreamgirls bit too. Heck, even Celine Dion was cool. 😛 But I didn’t really care too much about the rest of the show. Ellen was fun.

And that’s my inexpert opinion about the whole thing.

believe the hints of whispers
nearly undetectable
hiding and flying with the wind
moving far, so far from here
listen close to the silence
surrounding like a darkness
shining so bright, too bright
deceiving the addled senses

I’m cheering for Ryan Gosling to win tonight. I don’t care about the other nominees. 😛 He won last night at the Spirit Awards. He brought his mom and sister. Awwwww! And he did so tonight too. I got to see his bit on the red carpet. Lucky me. 🙂

Congrats to my friend and her husband as they welcomed Miss Brooke Ashley into the world! Congrats M & S!!! I hope she gets to watch the Oscars as she is also a Ryan fan. 🙂

We watched The Prestige today. Good movie! 😀

I’m excited for the Oscars. Mostly for Ryan. 😉 Let’s go Ryan!!!
