it's monday ...

and i overslept. and was out the door within 15 minutes, because for once my hair did not stick up in all directions. boring admin stuff most of the morning. yawwwwwn.

met my friend birgit for much-needed girl talk and just-as-much-needed ice cream. :)
yesterday, much-needed and long-awaited girl talk with my friend sabine. exchanging dating stories is actually quite fun.

men are weird. unreliable, too. cowards. and did i mention, weird? yes. well. but someone told me yesterday that he's been stood up by girls a few times lately, so it must be the fashion.

this - the sun, the moon - was something i enjoyed in the company of a reliable and just-the-right-kind-of-weird man last wednesday (click to enlarge):












no poetry. but one acceptance from a zine i had long given up on.

and hey, the sun is shining, and my hair is newly hennaed.

ps: gooooood news re work yesterday! i will be teaching english at least 21 hours per week most of the year, at the place where i am working now. (same company i used to teach computer classes for from early 2004 to end of 2006. and yes, they pay.) one weight off my shoulders. i will also be teaching two MS word classes on two march/april weekends for the adult education centre where i teach my thursday evening english class; could have had more classes, but it would all have been too much. february will be crazy, teaching between 34.5 and 42.5 hours per week! and then there's prep work, too ... but i will manage. and i may not be young, but i still need the money! :)
