Man, take a day off of work because of stomach stress, and the week just flies by.  I think it also flew by because I was actually doing fun things after work.  I think that has been one great new years resolution.
Today, my fun thing was watching Mr. Bean.  I used to watch that show every Saturday when I lived in the dorms at Utah State.  Those were the days.  If you are reading this and you are a college student, Cherish. Every. Moment.  College was a luxurious dream state.  Life was so easy back then.  Anyway.  Mr. Bean arrived on DVD in the mail today and I was very excited to watch while I pedaled the exercise bike.  Too bad I got so distracted by laughing that I would stop pedaling and actually lost a bit of motivation while I "rested."  Not too much of an intense workout today.  Oh well.  
Here are some good quotes from school today that totally made me happy:
1.  One of my students always calls me "Joe."  I always call her "Bob."  It brings happiness to my soul!
2.  Me:  "Do any of you have Jim as a teacher?"
       
      A student raises her hand 
      
      Me:   "Oh you do have Jim as a teacher? Where is he having Parent-Teacher Conferences tonight?"
      Student:  "Oh, no I don't have Jim.  I thought you asked if I had you for a gym teacher."
      I thought that was funny because why would I have to ask her if I had her as a student...wouldn't I know?  Funny.
So, today was much better than yesterday.  I think Alice can get back to her normal self quickly.  Maybe she wasn't that into that silly boy anyway!
