Things could be a lot worse

Hmmmm...nothing much is happening. I'm trying to stick with the changes I have planned for myself. I'm focusing on work and actually feeling competent, exercising and enjoying it, taking a break from the lying liars and the lies they tell (Al Franken's line, not mine) and really really enjoying it. I'm reading a funny book, listening to great music, what more can you do to keep on keepin' on when you're feeling blue?

I saw a sucky movie today...Casanova. Ugh. All I wanted was a few light-hearted laughs. Now I know I should've seen Munich, Good Night and Good Luck, or even Nine Lives. All got great reviews but they're so serious. Casanova was boring, predictable, and uninteresting. Boo!

*My 15-year-old sister called me yesterday to tell me she has a boyfriend.
*I'm going to Dallas next weekend to see my pregnant good friend and my pregnant cousin.
*I haven't met a guy I would even consider talking to for 5 minutes let alone kiss in who knows how long.
*One of my best friends appears to be in some sort of a relationship with someone I know yet he can't seem to tell me about it and, in fact, can't seem to tell me anything resembling truth.
*My students are talking talking talking and it is incredible to see them form comprehensive thoughts and verbalize them in order to get their wants and needs met.
*I FINALLY figured out how to type acentos on my computer keyboard (I've been working on this since the summer).
*My son's dad told me I was being a bitch in front of him (not ok). Later he apologized. I did too (I was). We're making progress?
*UT classes start in a week and a half...what in the world will I do to keep myself preoccupied when I graduate, again?
*One of my friends is separated from her husband, my sister is unhappily married, my mom is unhappily married, and yet I complain.
*Things have been a lot worse. I'm happy, I enjoy where I live, I respect my friends, I love my family, I adore my son, I like my job. Things could be a lot worse.
