Today marked two homecomings of sorts for Willow Wonder. First, I visited my new school and was introduced to the classroom that will be mine in the fall. How do you do? It’s pretty nice, despite the fluorescent lights and crappy sponge-paint job. It’s in a weird garden level basement, and shares the floor with only one other classroom- coincidentally the soon-to-be classroom of another 1st year 1st Grade teacher from my graduating class. She’s named Hannah and she is nice. So we’ll be able to bumble around down there with no reproving eyes or tsking tongues. God, why do I assume that more experienced teachers would tsk me? I am still such a teenager in so many ways. Anyway, there is a little greenhouse right outside my classroom door, so now I’m dreaming of all kinds of cool growing projects for little kids. It would be great to grow vegetables and then have a 1st grade feast! (Not a feast of first graders, mind you.)
Then this afternoon I SIGNED THE LEASE for my new apartment! Yea! I move in a week from Saturday, and if you are strong and want to help me I will buy you pizza. I will also buy you pizza if you are weak and want to help me. You can carry the empty boxes back down the stairs or something. Man, I had to write a REALLY big check for this place, but it covered 1st and last months rent and a deposit and a prorate something or other for moving in a week early. But it will be so worth it in a 2 weeks when I am eating pizza on my new floor with my cool helpful friends surrounded by all of my boxed-up junk. I have never been so excited about moving. Every other move involved some apprehension about roommates or funky fixtures, or in the case of NYC and Dublin, not actually having a place to live before moving there. This time it’s just me and my high ceilings and big windows. And my new turquoise couch. Oh man. I will definitely have people over soon.

Congradulations! We should go to breakfast at Gravy next Sunday to celebrate,now that you can beat all those yuppies to the few coveted tables
i think the growing project is a great idea. i’m just now planting vegetables for the first time in my life, and if i had been introduced to it earlier, i wouldn’t feel so intimidated.
are you saying June 24th is the date? if the public transit will get me there, i can probably lend a hand. PIZZA!
Oh, moving into a new, great place is so exciting! As my nephew says, gradulations! (It’s an amalgam of “congratulations” and “graduation.” It covers a lot of bases.)
And usually I’m not so keen on people hooking back up with their exes, cause, you know, there’s a reason you broke up, you know? But now you have provided me with a new anecdote titled “when it’s good to get back together with exes” in my brain for further reference. I will draw upon it when dishing out advice in the future!
Willow, It sounds like your life is really coming together! Congrats.
Yea! Can’t wait to see it :-)
willow things sound great for you at the moment!

Oh Piu Piu!
I hope everything is okay… Let me know when you’re new URL is up- I hope it’s soon! :-)
Congrats to you too on your new beginnings! Thanks for the sweet note! And do tell Steve that if he loved Sephora, he’ll do back flips over PICK ME UP.
Actually, the novel isn’t as girly as my blog–almost no mention of beauty products! I so hope you enjoy it!
