Donald Duck In Mathmagic Land ( Part 1 of 3)

I first heard the term "mathmagic" uttered by my department head (a great guy and mentor). The conversation was about the creative things our students do that have no logical basis; instead of mathematics they use "mathmagic". I'm sure he had seen this before but am I glad Youtube seems to have almost every video you can ask for.

Check out the other parts after watching this clip.

2011 Goals

In no particular order:

• Auxiliary pioneer at least one month
• Pay off my one remaining credit card balance
• Meet the man Jah has for me and at least get engaged (engaged? - yes because there's no point in setting my goals low. Also let's be specific: must love Jah more than me and encourage me to do likewise, makes more $ than me (I'm just saying this guy is older than me so there's no reason he shouldn't make at least 40K a year - that's not greedy/materialistic!)
• Stick to my weekly home upkeep routine (it's gotta be nice to rent out once I get engaged and start moving out, lol)
• Look like "that chick" everyday (get back to taking care of me like I want to: monthly facials, mani & pedi on the regular, and the hair we can't forget about the hair, lol)
• Improve the quality of service I provide my customers
• Renew my cosmetology license
• Start working towards National Board Certification as a teacher
• Write - I must write whether it be on either of my blogs, poetry, songs, a novel or short story...I have to write
• Make sure I study with the asp regularly (this is a really hard one!)
• Create a circle of true friends, people who I can count on to be there for me because they know I'm there for them and ditch the faux friends be they on FB or in real life who do nothing but the occasional "Hi, how are you?" and then ignore you and show so much interest in someone else while still in your company (or worse yet riding in your car...yes I'm talking about an actual incident)
• Avoid letting my depression immobilize me
• etc...

New Beginnings

Odd that my last post was about *him* and that my next post should be on the 1 year anniversary of the last day I saw and :x *him*. At any rate, he's moved on and so have I...although truthfully and with no envy, he can do better than the girl he's with now (at least from a purely physical point of view based on a headshot alone).

I am fully committed to my ministry; this month I'm attempting to get 50 hours to prove to myself that I can auxiliary pioneer this summer during my time off. It's been going well although I haven't done a count to see how far I have to go.

Although this entry is entitled "New Beginnings" it's also a re-visiting of old friends. I am sincerely going to try to reconnect and stay connected with the people I've known, tolerated/liked (lol), and occasionally even trusted in the past. First up I'm going skiing with some old friends. There might be a proposal (of course not to me) so I hope I don't get too upset due to any jealous feelings. Hopefully I won't as I'm currently entertaining prospects from about three different countries.

Speaking of jealousy, I think yesterday or perhaps Wednesday I thought of calling up my ex and telling him off. Wouldn't you know he called this morning (how odd he finds the number on the eve of this pagan holiday) and I got the chance. I didn't go full force although I did mention *him* and how we were together and that I should've dumped my ex when I first met *him* thus avoiding the unwanted pregnancy and subsequent life ruination that followed. Evidently I can still trigger his (my ex's) jealousy button as he said he was now going to get a drink, something he claims to have not done in one year and six months. LOL!!! Falling off the wagon, huh? Don't end up back in prison by falling too hard!
