the best

so i was on the schedule on wednesday for 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then i had to teach ballet from 5:15 to 9 p.m. i knew it was going to be a rough day, especially since wednesday is my most difficult day of teaching. also because i'm just beginning to adjust to early mornings. (it takes a half hour to get to starbucks for work.) so i let daniel know in advance that i was going to need extra support from him on wednesday. he was amazing.

first of all, on tuesday night, when i was closing, i asked ashley if i could come in later so that i could get a little more sleep, and she changed my hours to 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. hooray! BUT then i woke up at 5:40 to pee and i couldn't fall back asleep! i tossing and turning until my alarm went off at 7. i was SOOO grumpy! i hate when that happens, don't you? so i told daniel, and he rolled over and rubbed my back for ten minutes, till the snooze went off. THEN he got up and put jeans on when i had to get up, so it would be easier for me to get out of bed! =) how sweet. he talked to me on the phone for a bit as i drove, and assured me that even though my gas light had come on, i would make it to work just fine.

as if that we're enough, he drove up and had lunch with me. when he left, he filled up my car with gas!! wow! so then, i had one of my classes cancelled at ballet, because they needed to rehearse for their competition this weekend, so i came home in between classes to have dinner with daniel, and he had grilled cheese and chicken noodle soup ready for us when i got home =D

how wonderful. he's the best. i am so thankful for him.

also, he's lots of fun. =P

newsweek

i love it.

i am also very, very behind. haha! they are piling up on our coffee table. but in the past week, i have plowed through 3 more issues - thank you very much - and so i'm getting closer and closer to catching up.

how did i get so behind??


well, when obama won the election, they put out the coolest issue ever. back in 2006 they assigned a few journalists to follow around a few of the most promising candidates (clinton, mccain, and obama) through the whole entire campaign, including the primaries. the issue is one huge, long article, chronicling the different events that factored into the outcome of the elections.

it. was. fascinting.

there was no skimming or skipping a paragraph here and a page there, as i sometimes do with newsweek issues. i read every word of every page. i was glued. it's interesting to see what made a successful campaign team, what what actions and personalities hampered the other campaigns. you can probably find a copy at the library. it's worth checking out, whether your a fan of obama or not.
