binghamton...you've been good to us.

so my boy is here for his last visit in binghamton...ever. so strange that it's the last one before i graduate which is just two weekends away now (omg). he's sound asleep after a very long day and big med school exam. also, in honor of movember he has shaved his god awful mustache (sayonara!).

anyways, binghamton you've been so good to us during my time here. you've certainly taught us what a real winter is like, what "upstate NY" living was like, and you've brought us together in ways i never thought i could be close to someone. i really can't believe all the times we've spent here...good and bad i love them all.

never thought i'd say this.. but we promise to visit. how could we not? thank you, for everything binghamton.

can't sleep

so i can't sleep...what's new? really. i actually tried to sleep early today! was all snuggled by 12:43 am. I counted my sheep and pretended my boy was cuddling me but it's never quite the same. i ended up falling asleep eventually but was then awoken by my grumbly tumbly (heh winnie the pooh) i gave in only because i'm not sure when i'll have time to eat properly tomorrow..it's my first day of substitute teaching at the JCC! i sure am excited but also nervous. all of the usual thoughts: will i fit in? will the kids like me? will i be...good? it'll be my first time holding a class on my own and my very first day is with kids in prekindergarten. my favorite age. but if i'm going to do this, i really need to sleep. these kids will suck all of the energy out of me and i'll have all of the fun in the world but MUST SLEEP. c'mon body just let me do it. if my boy sees i'm blogging this late i may get another little scolding (this happens a little too often i realize) so i'll try again. wish me luck! xxoo--lobstress.

how cute are these little guys?! i need a pet.
