I couldn't think of a title for this post so I looked up at my bookshelf and saw the package of tootsie rolls left over from my trip to Washington DC. We stopped the second day we were there to get some more ice for the cooler and I saw a small bag of tootsie rolls that for some insane reason I was really craving right at that moment. So I bought it and immediately devoured half of the tootsie rolls in there and I finished the rest for breakfast. I'm not even sure how you classify tootsie rolls. What kind of candy are they anyway? You can't describe them! I just may have to do some research on this. (Note: upon further research I discovered that Modern Marvels describes them as "not quite caramels, not quite fudge, but something like both". Makes sense to me!) I think one of the reasons that I like tootsie rolls is almost completely sentimental. My Grandmother Brown used to take me to a candy shop when I was a little girl and she would buy me a couple of these little brown candy bears which, incidentally, tasted a lot like tootsie rolls. So every time I bite into a tootsie roll, I remember walking out of that sweet shop with my grandmother many many moons ago.
In other news, things with Ben are going really well. We have both fallen very deeply for one another, despite the fact that it has only been a month. I am SOOOOO glad I finally decided to give him a try.
We had a really fun time last Saturday. We went and saw ironman in the afternoon and then we went over to Stone Mountain at around 7 and started hiking around the mountain. Well, I did not realize that when Ben said we were going to "walk" around the mountain, that we were really going to HIKE around the mountain. So here I am thinking 5 miles, 2 hours, no problem. Well, we got about 1/2 of the way and it was already 9 o'clock and dark. We made it to the laser show around 9:30, watched that until 10, and then took the road instead of the trail back to the car. It was really fun but we were tired by the end of that. Sunday was a good time too. We are just loving all this time we get to spend together. There never seems to be enough time to be together!
I'm also working, hooray! My long-term for subbing was up on May 6th, and the very next day I started a new job working with my roommate as her assistant director up at Legacy Academy which is a preschool/daycare. It's been pretty fun so far. It's not full-time, but I've been enjoying it nonetheless. Some days are full-time, others are not. It just depends on how many teachers are out, etc. Anyway, I can't complain. Life is very, very, very good!
