Out with the old....

This is the excitement of the day. I bought a new straightener because mine died. It actually quit functioning on picture day at school. Good thing I had the help of my girls' PE class to straighten my hair because it turned out to be an awesome picture!

I will have my gallbladder removed next Wednesday for those that were curious! Good times. You can all send me love and stuff Wednesday.

I also went to the movie Knight and Day tonight. It is majorly funny and I would recommend it. It wad fun to go out on a weekday. Yep, I live on the edge sometimes!

Well, better sleep. Hope your day was full of cotton candy and rainbows. It rained today and it was awesome. It sounded so cool on the roof of the gym. Especially when it was hailing! The crickets are happy right now. I love this time of year!

Gallbladders and stuff.

Tell me about your experiences with gallbladder removal. According to my HIDA scan, my gallbladder is only emptying at 9%. To me that means there is something wrong with it. Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday and I want to know what to expect and if any of you may have opted not to have surgery and what you did to not have to deal with contant pain, gas, etc. People giving me advice this far has been mixed. Let the comments rip!

A fun weekend.

I went to Heber City on Friday night and stayed with my friend, Kristi and her husband. We watched a movie and stayed up late talking. Then Saturday, Kristi and I went four wheeling near her family's cabin. It was a blast. We took the shortcut and enjoyed the fall colors. It was gorgeous. Have I ever mentioned how much I love fall? Well, I do.

I loved watching Kristi be a farmer out back of her house. Her chickens are pretty darn cool. Curt, her husband, made a pretty cool chicken coop for the chickens. He is nice. They both treated me well and it was like I went to a hotel for the weekend. It was a very relaxing and fun time. The weekend was awesome.

Last night I was up at the Bills. They are good to me too. Great food and even greater company as always.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the surgeon. I guess I will have news about when my gallbladder will meet its fate!

I am tired and off to bed. Thanks for reading.

A good night for a ball game!

Good times on Friday playing softball after burger friday at Red Robin. We lost the first game but came from behind to win the second. Fun!

Right Here! Right Now!

That is a picture of me in my office. I like my office. That is where I am right now and what I am doing is blogging because I am ready for class and not wanting to grade the assignments that are piling up on my desk.

Tonight is Parent-Teacher Conferences. It will be fun. At least, I am deciding that it will be. Even if nobody comes, I have a great book I am reading. Read The Hunger Games. Great book...I am addicted lately.

I found out yesterday that my gallbladder hates me and must be removed. I will be having to have another surgery. I figure after two surgeries in two years, I will be covered for a while when it comes to illness. I also am hoping my gallbladder weighs ten pounds and then I will be at my goal weight.

I have had a busy week, but if you asked me what I have been up to, I wouldn't have an answer. It is a blur. I have enjoyed sitting on my couch and watching TV at night and catching up with a few friends.

It has been a great week. I did think to myself this week that I actually get paid to do this job. It is a blast and really I should have to pay admission or something.

Here are some funnies from class this week. I was playing AC/DC's song Thunderstruckand one of my students kept singing: "Sundance" whenever "Thunderstuck" was being sung. It was hilarious. This same students always says "QUE?"(Spanish for WHAT?) when he thinks something is weird or funny and I have been saying it a lot these days too...but of course it is in a funny high pitched voice.

Well, better get back to work. Cheers!
