The Couch of Wonder

Happy end of the week to you. Happy three-day weekend, as well. I am pretty excited to have three days to relax. Well, kinda relax that is. I will be busy, busy, busy!

I love my new couch. I have already had two nice naps on it. Wonderful. Too bad I now don't have enough room in my apartment. I think something is going to have to go and it might be the beloved bean bag chair. I figure I am 31 and it might just be time to be over the whole bean bag thing! I think the money would definitely go to the Wii fund!

I really am enjoying my students. It is so very weird how a good attitude really can change the whole experience of anything. I really am trying to stay positive and actually get to know each student more. That makes a big difference. My Leadership class pretty much thinks I am crazy, but I really feel we are closer than we have been. They are big Juniors this year. I really want to help them get their acts together in order to graduate next year. Too bad the reality is that about half of them will not make it to their Senior year. That really makes me sad and I hope we can change that.

I have been filled with a little rage the past few days. Last night at softball I called one of the players on the other team a butt and then a horse's patoot. (I really did use those very words!) Today, I lost patience with a few of my students. Poor things. They really can't do anything about me and my rage when it comes. I did cool down eventually and had a pretty good afternoon.

Tonight, Janette and I got dinner and then watched The Office. We are catching her up for when the new season starts in a few weeks. I am excited to have another friend to watch with each Thursday. It is even an added bonus that she has an awesome huge flat screen. And no, I am not her friend just for her TV.

Up for the weekend: 1. Harvesting corn down in Delta 2. Laugh show of Timpanogos Storytelling Festival 3. Visit Morgan who is up from Vegas 4. Sheepdog championships in Midway. I am a little busy, like I said.

Tired

I am just partying too much at night.  This is how I party:  I sit in front of the TV and watch What I Like About You until 11:30.  Then I sleep at 11:45.  Not enough sleep.  Dragging already today.  I am excited for the long weekend except for the fact that I have booked myself.  I am doing something pretty much every minute of the weekend.  Sad day for me and resting and cleaning. :(

I had a crazy dream about aliens.  You should ask me about it sometime.  It was crazy.

Well, off to make yet another PowerPoint for my Health class.  Thrilling!

Fun Pics!

I was tagged today by Morgan and the tag meant that I needed to add some pics to the blog.

The pictures are pretty self-explanatory but my spouse is Jim Helpert. Hello The Office! I also put stuffed animals as our kids. I feel much better about not having a spouse or children; thank you very much!

I am back into the full swing of school and being tired and busy and can't get my dishes done ever. I have no spoons left right now. Sigh.

Tomorrow I will get a new couch. Erin and Isaac, I am excited to have your couch. It is staying in the family! :)

I will have to post a picture of the couch tomorrow.

I really don't have much else. I am so tired. Why am I up after eleven again?

Taco Tuesday!

Okay, maybe not Taco Tuesday. More like Grilled Cheese Tuesday, but whatev. I thought I would do a week of what I eat for dinner. There is tonight's masterpiece. Funny thing is that lately I have been craving fake cheese. Kraft singles just tickle my pallet lately. It is weird seeing I am the Wisconsin girl and all. I love those little slices of magic!

Today went fast. My students are fun so it seems to fly. Only one class had a problem and that was because of the projector not working while I was trying to give a PowerPoint Presentation. Frustrating. It is a projector from the 1960s so that is probably why it was having problems. Okay, maybe it is a projector from the early 2000s but it is still ancient in technology terms.

Went for a bike ride with a friend today in the dark. It was an adventure. It was nice to ride while it was cool but I did not like the bugs in my face! Yuck.

Well, that sums it up in a nutshell today. May your Wednesday be filled with pork chops like mine will! :)

Manic Monday? Maybe not!

Hi. It is 11:07 and I should be in bed. I think I really just need to leave the school earlier than after six in order to have some me time!

Tonight I played softball on a team that struggles to get girls to play. It was fun even though the team lost. I really do just like playing.

I then took a wonderful walk through the streets of Provo. Good times as always. I cannot believe it is almost the end of August. My friend mentioned that it was getting darker sooner and that summer was over and that winter was here. How depressing. Unfortunately, winter is getting pretty close! :(

Not much else today. Not even very many funny things that students have said or done. Just a day I guess. Days are good! I am sure I will have one tomorrow too. I hope yours is good.
