My day went like this: Got up and went to the gym. Why did I go to the gym? Because I spent a lot of years being the chubby friend, and all those Halloween inspired snacks are threatening to send me back into fatty town. When discussing what Star Wars character each of the people in the room would be, one of the kids I work with said that I would be C3PO because (and I quote) "You're mad tall and skinny" (Translation for those of you who don't speak inner city adolescent dialect; mad may be translated as extremely) I don't think I have been described as extremely skinny ever before in my entire life. It was hilarious to me. I was beaming.
Then I went and helped my aunt plant and move monstrously large trees. She has a small landscaping business and I help out when she needs the assistance as I could always use the extra money. We spent our time together yanking and pulling trees around that were too big for us to move. But...seeing as we are two pig headed women, neither of us was willing to admit aloud that some large muscles (ahem, like maybe those of an, ahem, man) would be helpful. So we tugged and pulled and I got a bloody nose from a wayward stick up the nostril (hilarity ensued because truly, who else does that sort of thing happen to?) Then it was time for me to head to my full time job.
So...next I traveled to my full time art therapy job and spent the day forcing art therapy down the throats of uninterested adolescents.
Now I'm home, I've had a beer, I've eaten dinner, my body and mind are exhausted...yet I can't sleep. What kind of utter nonsense is that?! And I'm doing it all over again tomorrow! I guess tomorrow will be a large coffee day. (Yes I take cream and sugar, what of it? I like it that way!)

You could also be considered C3PO because you translate the slang of today's adolescents :-)
Passionista-Hey! I didn't think of that, good point! Do you know the translation of 'tight' in today's inner city adolescent dialect? I means 'angry'. As in "Tia was tight after she saw her therapist today." I had to ask for the translation on that one. Coudn't figure it out.
so you're saying a mad large tree stuck its business in your nose? Of all the nerve....
JK-Actually, it was more of a twig, it was stealthy and small...sharp enough at the top to break internal nostril skin but the wound was very minor. Mad funny though.
