In addition, happy (belated) April Fools' Day. As an April Fools' joke, certain people filled my umbrella with "confetti" so that when I started to open it up last night, I was greeted with a nice surprise. I'm pretty sure I screamed loud enough for all of Boston to hear.
Maybe it's because spring is in the air, but the number of people I know who have gotten engaged lately has been an awful lot. Seriously, people are dropping like flies everywhere I turn! In fact, I took a Facebook hiatus for a little while, and when I came back, I discovered that FOUR people had gotten newly engaged while I was gone. And one had gotten married. And those are just the ones I've noticed. When did I become old enough to be friends with engaged / married people anyway?
In other news, I have never fancied myself as a girl who would like the South. Or who would enjoy the drawl of a Southern accent. (Except maybe when walking around the Atlanta and Memphis airports talking in my own wonderfully authentic Southern accent. When in Rome, ya know?) But I have discovered recently there are many different varieties of the "Southern accent." And it just so happens that I really like the variety from the Carolinas. Alabama accents? Not so much. Texas? No way. But I might just consider becoming a Carolina girl in order to hear these people talk.
So I have a hot yoga date today. And you have to read that as "hot yoga" date. Hot yoga is basically doing yoga in a sauna. You sweat out all of the negativity in your life while becoming happier and more flexible and more in tune with the universe. Cool, huh? (That might be kind of a skewed description, though. For a more accurate one, you would probably have to look it up.)
And next week I am going to be a teacher. Sort of. I'm going to teach part of a training to a group in Texas (where there will inevitably be no good accents). Could this be practice for my future career as Professor Nicole...? Hmm.
That may have been more than a couple things, though. Happy April.

Woo baseball! The Giants are off to a bad start though. They only won 1 out of 4 to the Dodgers and then just lost to the Padres last night.
Tejada is on the Giants now. The A's haven't been interesting to watch since those Tejada-Chavez days.
Game today at 3:30 PST against the Padres again. The Giants better get it together.
If you were a teacher you would be a Mrs. Burgess.
Eric Chavez is on the YANKEES now!!!! :( Lame.
Definitely not Mrs. Burgess. I would be cool like Mr. Olsen. Although I want to teach at the college level. My second graders DID love me, but if I had to deal with that every day, I might go clinically insane.
Did mom tell you she gave her high school students the "I have too much on my plate" speech...?
