Remembering.

I found this picture on my blog from march of 2008. I had looked back because one of the aides that works with me during one of my PE classes couldn't imagine me with a little more padding. So I pulled this up for her:


Sharri is with me in the picture. When I showed it to her she said: "Man, we were fat!"

I decided we should take a similar picture with what we look like today. Here it is:



Just a bit of a difference, eh? I needed to see this today because I have been self loathing this week because I have been a few pounds heavier thanks to my partying on break. Luckily, I only have gained a pound since my last weigh in.

Here is my fortune today:



It made me laugh because dessert has gotten me in trouble lately. I did have some frozen yogurt with fruit in top of it. It was good and I felt good about not putting candy on it!

So 1/3 of the fortunes have come true so far!

Cheers!

It's midnight. I should be sleeping.

Well, short post tonight. I had a great time with two of my roommates from long ago at Utah State. It was fun to catch up with Liz and Amy.

Here is today's fortune:



I hope this means all the work I have done...oh wait...I haven't worked hard lately. What is up with these things?

Please Excuse some of the content of this post.

Today was hard. I did not sleep enough thanks to getting back late last night and going back to work after a week of bliss is always a challenge. I have decided that I will post a picture of my fortune from my fortune cookie that I will enjoy at lunch each day for the next while. I bought a whole bag of them at the fortune cookie factory in San Fran. So here is today's fortune:



I listened all day and didn't get any needed information. Maybe tomorrow. Here are two funny things I said in class to help my students remember certain things about reproduction. They listened intently. (This is the part you can choose to ignore. Some people are soft when it comes to talking about this stuff. I find it highly entertaining.)

I told them that the uterus is kinda like a fancy hotel for the fetus. It is made up all nice and comfortably with tissue and nourishment. Just like luxury hotels are comfy and nice.

I also told them that the epididymis is like college for sperm. In fact, we could call it Epididymis University or EU. This is where the sperm grow up and learn how to be adult sperm. Say epididymis university a few times. We decided in my 7th hour that it actually sounds like a legit university. I know...you are in awe of my brilliance. Or maybe you are just scared of it. Either way, I hope this made you smile a bit!!!

Cheers. Only 27 school days left. But who is counting!

I miss the beach.

All safe in Provo, UT again. I don't have to be happy about it though, right?

Here are the last few wonderful beach pics:






Last sunset.



Packing up.




Sad to leave.



One last pastry



Next time I will bring somebody to kiss at the bakery and take advantage of this!



Driving home



About to sleep. Here is to this week being good!

Janette's Birthday.

It would have been my last day on the beach but Jane and I decided to stay one more day.

We celebrated Janette's birthday in style. We snuck out and bought a cake from Gayle's Bakery. It is an amazing bakery. I think I mentioned earlier that it is also evil. The cake was amazing. I ran on the beach in the afternoon. It was a perfect day for it. So pretty. Jane and I enjoyed the last bonfire with s'mores.

We surprised Janette. (trick candles and all!) The cake was fabulous and I hope Janette enjoyed her birthday as much as I did surprising her!!!
