Holy crap. I just used this: http://www.paulmitchell.com/Products/TeaTree/LavenderMint/Pages/LavenderMintMoisturizingBodyWash.aspx
and it is amazing. It's Paul Mitchell's TeaTree lavender mint product... I used the conditioner, but I will be going back asap to get the body wash, too. OH MY GOD!!! SO AMAZING!!! It smells so good. I never realized the huge difference that good product makes, and I splurged on the conditioner and also a CostCutters bottle of clarifying shampoo, and I have never felt so clean on my head in my life. Wow. I fully intend on making this my scent. Not even kidding. If I can't get a hold of Kate, I'll be back in Rice Lake tomorrow to make a very important purchase of that body wash and perhaps the shampoo. I'll give the Suave I am suffering with to Mom. Seriously. Omg. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. I might pee my pants. I love that scent. It almost smells like Aveda. Only better. Omg. omgomgomgomgomgomgomg.

11 January 2009
Jeepers, I only have two weeks left of student teaching!! I graduated on December 20th from college with my degree in music education, and am starting to wind down as far as classes and stuff go. My cooperating teacher and I are trading off in 7th grade band, so that we can prepare them for their upcoming contest, but it is also serving as a great way to kind of phase me out of there and give Kim her band back. I told the 7th graders on Friday that myself and the other student teacher are done on January 23rd... the reaction was not too happy. They were so confused as to why we had to go; couldn't we just stay? "Mrs. Bryan, you already have an office! Just stay here and be our teacher!" It was adorable, and also very sad. I'm going to miss those kids. One of the bass clarinets had tears in her eyes when I looked over there, and it made me feel loved, but very sorry that I'm going to have to leave those kids to start my own life.
Just finished watching the Golden Globes, and was very happy to see that Heath Ledger received the Posthumous award for his role as the Joker. Seriously, that role made the whole movie. It was AWESOME!! I couldn't believe that he was the same guy from Ten Things I Hate About You.
I've started collected books on military separation, as Max is leaving 2 months from today. I have already read one really great one, and have ordered four more from MilitaryOneSource.com, in addition to the one that Mom ordered from Amazon tonight. I didn't realize how much better I would feel reading about other women's experiences going through deployment, and it just made me want to find more books so that I am that much more prepared. We had kind of a "coming out" discussion last weekend, and talked about how we're feeling and what we need and what we hope for the future, etc. We're buying out his sister's half of the house, which is AWESOME, because I am so sick of being financially connected to her. We'll buy her out this one time, and when she blows all of that cash on video games, it won't be our problem. Sweet.
I babysat my aunt Jane's dog last weekend, Shawna, and she is SO CUTE. 8 week old mini dachsund, and I was in love. Of course, she screamed all the time and pooped 4 or 5 times, but it was so great to have a dog in the house. Sounds like we might get one when Max returns, but that is still under discussion.
We got a week and a half together over Christmas, and let me tell you, it was amazing. Finally, we were living together and being a real married couple! It was the best week and a half I think I have ever had. We had so much fun, and I can't wait until 2010 when he is back and here 24/7. That must be so fun, to have a husband that comes home every night and is there with you. I know sometimes people complain about stupid things that men do, but really, they are so lucky to be able to complain. I would much rather be irritated that there are dirty dishes in the living room than sit around wondering what to do with my spare time. Family helps a lot, though; my family Christmas was the happiest I have been in a very long time. Max was there, which was great, and I was surrounded by the people in this world that mean the most to me. It was most excellent. Very busy, but I LOVE IT. I have loved it since the first time I can remember, and can't imagine having any other family. (Max has 15-18 in his family. Including extended. That's it, 15 people. How weird is that??? That's like... my immediate family and my aunt Jackie's family. Not including the other 5 brothers and sisters and all of their families.)
I start working with my cousin Tara at the Shell Lake Arts Center this spring, as soon as my student teaching finishes. I'm basically going to be a mini-Tara, helping her with everything that she needs me to do. I have worked there every summer (but one) during college, so I know the place inside and out. It's a part time gig, so I'm going to work three days a week and substitute on Mondays and Fridays for 4 or 5 districts in the area. If I don't get a gig... oooooh, so sad, a four day weekend!! I'm going to hold off on most of the subbing until after March, so that I can spend those long weekends with Max in MN, but if I can't make it there, or if we decide on every other weekend, then I'll teach.
Well, I better go. Laundry calls.
