2 Days 15 Hours and 8 Min

Three days of work. I can make it, right?

The kids raised over one hundred dollars for Sub for Santa and one of
the things they wanted to earn was me wearing a dress. Silly kids.
So, on Wednesday, I will be wearing one of the bridesmaid's dresses I
wore a few years ago (Morgan, I knew there was a reason I kept it!).
It should be interesting. I also am playing in basketball games
against the students that day and the games will be a good excuse to
not wear the dress too long! You all know how much I love dresses!
What happened to the girl who was supposed to be sugar and spice and
everything nice? (BTW there are some gingerbread man cookies that I
bought last week that have that saying on the bag, it makes me laugh
every time I reach into the bag to indulge.

Yesterday was a busy day full of yelling wraths about my mac not
allowing me to download video to my mp3 player and shopping. I
really need to quit buying myself Christmas presents. Oh well. My
friend Moo was in town and as I have said we are dang good with the
shopping. We even managed to squeeze quite a bit of shopping in even
when we had lots of things going on. It was our church Christmas
party last night. Good, free food and good company. Also, hilarious
talents. After the party we went to a pie party that a fellow
teacher and his wife put on. It was good times. I like having like
12 different pies to pick from. I had coconut cream and a bit of
turtle pie. Mmmm!

Then we stayed up far to late trying out my new 40 dollar surround
sound speakers. I just couldn't pass them up. Now, I truly will
never leave my apartment. TV is so good with good sound! I am sure
the neighbors are thrilled too! :)

Well, I really should already be in bed. I had great plans of going
into work early to get my test ready for tomorrow's Health class. Oh
well.

Have a great night.
2 days 15 hours and 8 min until I get on that plane home! :) Who's
counting, again?

I Made it to the weekend!

Another day has come and gone quickly. Only three days left of
school. I am going home very soon. That is a nice thought.

Today was Burger Friday. We celebrate our payday by going to Red
Robin for burgers. Man, I love a good burger. After the burgers, a
friend and I went to Salt Lake to see the lights. Even going to see
the lights didn't make it seem like it was time to have Christmas. It
really has sneaked up on me. I love the lights on Temple Square. My
friend and her daughter had a good time too. I sure do like making
new friends and getting to know people. I always am blessed with great
friends. I am lucky.

Not much planned this weekend. My friend, Moo, will be visiting and
what we do best is shop, so we plan on doing a bit of that.

I should be sleeping ,but it is the weekend, I don't want to go to bed yet!

I hope all your December dreams are coming true. Until later, A

Quite Frequently!

These pictures were not taken at 11pm. I think I look better in them
than the ones from yesterday. You also get to see a piece of my life
because that is what I look like while being on my computer at
school.(I may not make those faces very frequently but you get the
idea).

Good day. Fast day. Only two more days until the last weekend before
break! Yipee.

I played racquetball today. I wish I would have been able to video
it. It is very humorous when I play. I run into the walls quite
frequently.

I went to the library tonight. I got seven books. Hopefully, one of
them will be worthy of reading.

No broken bones at school today. Good thing!

6 days 14 hours 51 mins till the home flying.

Words of the day: frequently, quite.

Pictures at 11 pm are not flattering!

I shouldn't be up at 11pm. You would think that I would have figured
that out by now, but I just am not getting wise in my old age. And
really, I should take pictures of myself much earlier in the day. So
not wise. Oh well.

Well, today was eventful at school. One of my sweet students hurt
himself in the weight room. He put his finger where it wasn't
supposed to be and it got crushed by the machine. I felt pretty bad
for him and myself really because I had to clean up all the blood and
use my mad first aid skills. I totally only thought of his finger
being sliced and just stopping the blood, so I had him apply pressure
to the finger and keep his had over his heart. Later on, I found out
that he had actually broken the finger. Then it clicked in my head
why he kept complaining that it hurt so bad when he applied pressure.
I felt pretty stupid and bad for him. Dang it, Alice! Oh well,
again.

I went to the boys basketball game for our school tonight. They won
41-27. Good game. I like getting to see the kids other than in
school.

Not much else going on here. 7 days 15 hours and 4 min until I fly
home. Yipee.

Sleep well so you don't get those black marks under your eyes like me!
Until later!

Christmas untraditions!

Happy Monday. Today flew by; seems to be a tradition in my life lately. It was a good day. I give it five stars (sorry about the star reference. In my mp3 player you can rate songs and then listen to your highly starred music. Five is the best a song can get).

I almost was unable to load my pictures onto the site today. That would have been a tragedy. (Btw: I am trying to get tragedy into the vocabulary of one of the two-year-olds in my life, I think all kids that age should know and use that word). I finally figured I could email my post, which has proven to be so very handy. I suggest blogger to anybody who wants to make an impact in the world. Even if that impact is only to be a time filler for people who are bored at work. You all know who you are!

I thought I would write about a few of the untraditions in my life these days. Okay, so I guess if I am doing things they really aren't untraditions. In fact, they could even become traditions if I am not careful. Actually, I may only have one untradition to talk about and it is the tradition of making gingerbread houses. I have helped make two of them in the past three days. I have never made a gingerbread house in my life up to this point. See, thirty years of untradition. I thought that the house I made today was definitely blog worthy. I like to call it my gingerbread trailer. I find it appalling that only nice homes are used as models for most gingerbread creations. I like that mine looks more like something out of the trailer park. Now, don't get me wrong I am not passing judgment on people who actually live in such parks. I am just saying most people don't grow up and say: “Man, I am looking forward to the time when I can move into the trailer park.” I think that when we are taking part in some of our "traditions" we should really step back and think to ourselves just how crazy these traditions can me. I would like to have been around when somebody was bored enough around the holidays to decide to make a house or winter scene out of edible delights. Maybe it is because they did not have DVR like I do and didn't have so much TV to catch up on. I think that is about all I will write about gingerbread houses. I may not be very good at making them, but I can appreciate other people making them. My family never got together and created these. We probably were too busy watching A Charlie Brown Christmas or something.

Maybe one day I will write all about my real traditions. I am too tired to do so now and must go watch Journeyman.
Later Dudes!
