Friday and Such!

About to head to Park City to see if I can see a film at The Sundance Film Festival. You know that big movie thing! Should be an adventure.

I hate brussel sprouts...just saying. There is not enough olive oil and spices to make it okay. GROSS. And yes dad, I tried it twice and figured it out!

Yesterday we had some fun with Matt, our Special Education Leader, at lunch. Doesn't it just look fun?

Last night was burger night. I LOVE burger night. I love the petite burgers. I think I mentioned that before! It was blast. We also hit a dollar movie afterward. Very fun. See ya in the future. I am outta here!

Laffy Taffy Jokes

These just made me smile, so I am sharing:

"WHAT'S GREEN AND SINGS?"

Elvis Parsley

"WHAT HAS 10 LETTERS AND STARTS WITH GAS?"

An Automobile

Brilliant, no?

A Real Good Day!

Included a pic of my Leadership class. They were real good and fun today. I am still not sure how some days they can be AMAZING ROCKSTARS, and then the next complete dweebs. Crazy. We had a good talk about attitude and how our choice to be either positive or negative can make or break our lives. Very good and interesting. The pic is from an activity they did using washers on a string. Basically, I got them to move the washer back and forth without thinking about it. Their mind truly had control over their body. Cool how our minds are so powerful!

The other pic is from the weekend in Vegas. Isn't that one cleaver fan. Take an old and stupid Favre jersey and make it into a Starks jersey. Talk about making a negative a positive, right? So coo. What a small world to find a guy in Vegas who went to college 45 minutes away from where I grew up. Totally cool.

Well, it's getting late. I was going to watch some TV but I better just sleep for my students' sakes tomorrow. I did some things I love today:
1. Taught cool kids. Played badminton against my favorite competition.
2. Laughed and laughed at lunch
3. Went to a Weight Watchers Meeting
4. Picked on my leader! Read about it HERE
5. Went to dinner with my friend, Jane. Applebees' steak is so yummy. My lack of gallbladder did not like it but I did. Good talks with Jane as always.

Here's to another good day tomorrow.

Tuesday that felt like Monday!

Today would have been Movie day, if it weren't for the whole grades being due today thing. I am still having a hard time grasping the fact that the school year is already half way over. That is just plain nuts. And plain exciting. Oh summer, I await thy arrival!

Today was a good day. The thing I did that I love is have lunch from Gandolfo's with my friends, Kristi and Jackie. We have now dubbed Tuesday as lunch together day. They both have second lunch. I technically do not, but because I have prep hour during fifth hour, I can take second lunch if I prep during my regular lunch. It is totally fun to get out at the middle of the day and see the sun shine. It is also way nice to talk with Kristi and Jackie. They are two of my favorite people.

The other thing I did that I love is run outside. It was warm enough today and the snow is suposed to come tomorrow, so I totally took advantage of it. I love running. Have I mentioned that ever? If you ever want to read about my runs, I do have a running blog here. I also wore two different colored socks while I ran. I am pretty awesome. It does nothing to help people see you any better, in case you were wondering. I totally had to be very aware of my surroundings because two people cut me off. Jerk faces. Good run though. I am way lucky!

Good day and tomorrow is already midweek. How cool is that?

Vegas Baby!!!

The weekend went very fast but it also feels like I have been in Las Vegas for a while. That is a nice feeling for a weekend. Don't you think weekends should be five days long and workweeks only two?

Anyway, it was a blast to be here for my cousin Chris' wedding celebration. I was able to spend time with cousins, aunts, and uncles from my dad's side of the family. They know how to party! Friday I landed and hung out with them for a while. It was funny that my cousin, Ann, came up and said: "I know this is silly, but are you Alice?". We hadn't seen each other in 20 years.

Saturday, I was able to go to lunch with my friend, Alyssa, and her daughter. Raising Cane chicken is amazing. We then headed to the strip and saw the fountains at Bellagio. Later, I watched the Packer game with the family back at the hotel. Crazy that they are one game away from the Superbowl! I am dang proud of my Packers!!! We also celebrated Chris and Yvonne's wedding with a fabulous cake. Yum!!

Yesterday, we did a bit of hanging at our hotel, The Orleans. Then my Aunt Judy and I went down to the strip and walked around. It was nice to get out in the warmth and sun!! Then we later watched a movie at the theatre in the hotel. It was nice to be low key and have times inbetween activities to rest. I took some good naps inbetween reading on my new Nook in my room. Thanks mom for the room. It was great!

Today, Alyssa took me to breakfast and then dropped me off at the airport. I am now awaiting my flight back to Salt Lake. It's sad to leave but it was a nice little relaxing weekend. I am glad I decided to come!
