Not Your Average Jane

Today for the first time I heard a reference to Tigger in one of my classes... I've been in education classes for like 2 years and my declared major until last semester was elementary education and it took this long to get a Tigger reference? Damn skippy, talk about your running behind... It was in my 10 oclock class this morning talking about unorganized classrooms and the professor made a comment about kids bouncing off walls like they were Tigger... Cute huh? :0) Also in class today, I started thinking about where I'm going to live after graduation next May... Sure with mom in Houston for a bit while I interview for jobs and get certified and stuff... But after that, where do I want to live and work? Up til this last summer I would have said New Braunfels, hands down.... Now its a toss up between Austin , San Antonio, San Marcos and New Braunfels.. Austin, I like but I don't know if I'd like living there... San Antonio, its a city in south central Texas, close to the hill country and the beach and New Braunfels, as much as I've come to adore it, is a bit of a tourist trap... So yeah, decisions, decisions and stuff... Which brings me (kind of) to the subjects of blind dates... I have to decide whether or not to to go home and once I decide THAT I have to decide if I should let a friend of mine set me up or not... He made me promise to at least consider it, and what can I say he caught me at a weak moment (8 am he called and I was still asleep, unable to form any sort of coherent thought...) and now I'm beating myself up over it... I adore this guy, he's one of my really good friends, but there are very few people I trust to set me up and none of them are straight guys. (as this particular friend trying to set me up is.) I don't trust blind dates, I've seen too many end... on less than friendly terms, shall we say... The only time I've been set up (wasn't actually a formal 'set-up' more like matchmaking) was my best friend Natalie with one of her now husband then boyfriend's Marine buddies... It might have worked out too, had he not gone AWOL and schizo... He was a really good guy, just my type, but it just wasn't going to work since he came back paranoid about 'the man' getting him... So yeah there ended my brief foray into blind dating... Speaking of dating... I've been thinking about soulmates lately... Yeah I believe that everyone has a soulmate somewhere and when you meet them you just somehow know, you know? But I just got to thinking, what would happen if we didn't recognize our soulmates? Pass them on the street or in traffic,and don't even give them a second glance because we don't recognize them... Kind of a scary thought.... But on a brighter note, I'm more and more sure I'm going home on Thursday for the weekend! I miss my house and my town and my Firehouse and my Galleria and my Central Market.... (ok so maybe I don't own them, but I should at least have stock in them I go there so often...) And both my sisters will be in town, how sweet is that? All 3 Fritz girls loose in the city... *evil laugh* :0) Anyway its time for lil ol me to hit the hay hay hay... I'm still exsausted from yesterday... Anyway, laters....
