School + Autumn = Mixed Feelings

You know how I get right? About autumn? You know I have major autumnal-compulsive-disorder?

I've been showing restraint through. My house is still in summer mode and I am still planning summer activities for the near future. But once school starts, IT'S ON.

The girl and I drove by the ol' church the other day. Remember how I was all "Yay! Let's be religious!" last year? I kinda gave up on it after like 5 months...okay 3 months...1 month? It's possible we attended more than two times. Anyway, she asked me if she could go back. For real. What's in it for me? I get to shop for communion dresses...

Also, girl scouts. She's a brownie now. Plus Kumon school...it's a reading and math program. Plus regular school work....second grade is bound to be more difficult than first. It's sucking all the fun out of autumn to think about these things. All the homework! Back to school clothes and supplies are purchased...let the count down begin.

Work is going really well. I get lots of compliments, and who doesn't appreciate a compliment? My bosses are cool for the most part. One came out yesterday, said, "Good job!" and then proceeded to extend his fist out to me. For what? A pound? For you non-natives, the urban dictionary defines a pound as the knocking of fists as a form of greeting, departure, or respect. I am lily white. That's two steps away from translucent. As for my boss? Short of a shaved head he might as well be nicknamed Powder. My genetic makeup so fiercely rejected that pound I couldn't muster up so much as a high five...fail.

Went to see the man last night. I had to run out though because I felt the rage building. It was like I saw a full moon and was about to become a werewolf but still had enough humanity left in me to get the hell outa there before I hurt someone. Looked at my little period calendar the second I got in the car and sure enough, she is on her way...
