Signs of Aging

I never thought this day would come. But sadly it did. My friends, whom I've known since elementary/middle school days, and I were talking story. Just like old times. Except the topic was far from the carefree topics of... well God knows who even remembers what we talked about back then. But I know what we talked about today. INVESTMENTS! Freakin' investments. I felt like I was in a sitcom.. the kind I watched when I was younger, getting an "insight" into adult lift. Now this is my reality check. Wake up, Faye! You are an adult! There's no more "when I grow up I wanna..." moments. This is it. This is your life. What are you gonna do with it?


Hmm.. this situation reminds me of a Switchfoot song. Funny that they pop out during my pensive-about-life moments...

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Angel Hair

My sister came up with this nickname one weekend upon seeing a guy with the prettiest blond curls ever. However, I had to give this name to someone else. And he is so adorable that he deserves an entire blog about him. No, it's not a new hot guy I'm seeing. (Damn it lol). JK! Actually, it's a student in my class. And no it's not like that creepy way you're probably thinking. Oh great Faye, you work with kids long enough..... ermm.. yea, no.

Anyway, I'm usually not one to have favorites. At least I try very very hard not to. But this kid. Man, he wormed his way into my soft spot with his red chubby cheeks and curly brown hair. He cries and it breaks my heart. I'm like.. Faye, be objective. You can't just give in to what he wants because he's too cute for his own good. Or can I? I rule my class right? Wait, no! That would be counter productive!

So anyway... how was your day?

gardens and circus and vampires oh my

This whole week could be summarized by those three things.


Firstly, I discovered the world of Twilight last Thursday and in 5 days managed to finish all 4 books in the series. I was lucky the last book came out Saturday. Talk about perfect timing. Since then, I can't seem to get the world out of my mind. It's as if it's real but also in knowing that it isn't past of me sort of longs for that make believe to be real. Anyway, yea... I'm sure once the movie comes out I'll be rid of this slight obsession. ;) after all, the guy who plays the "hero" in the book is younger than me, so you can't quite fall for that :-P



Aside from obsessing over a story (it's been a while so cut me some slack lol), I've gotten back into fixing my garden since I want to make it beautiful for my pool party next week. More on that here: http://serendipity-garden.blogspot.com/
this is a picture of the flower i added today, not from my actual garden


And last night I got to see Cirque du Soleil with my sister. It was Saltimbanco. Considering the slightly mystical stories I've been reading, the world of Saltimbanco fit right in with the theme of the week. It's bright colors, quirky characters, and heart-stopping feats were entertaining. I can't believe at one point the trapeze artists were not even harnessed! The clowns were also the best. They interacted with the audience in the beginning and one guy got his shirt taken off. lol it was funny. i'm glad he was a good sport about it.


okay, that's it. gotta go. :) have a good weekend.
