T is for Tuesday and sometimes Terrible Mornings.


I woke up to a horrible belly ache. So I quickly got myself to work where I got my sub plan ready. I think it is a bad thing that I am now really good at writing sub plans. I eventually felt better but was very tired all day. Good thing naps are a available when having a sick day.

March Madness began tonight. That makes me happy. It also makes me happy that there is wonderful technology that allows me to watch games while also watching good TV. I discovered two very good shows today. Arrested Development is hilarious and Lost Room is creepy and interesting.

I will be glad to go back to work tomorrow. I don't like being sick. It gets boring and annoying very quickly.

M is for Monday. That is almost good enough for me!


Mondays are hard. Tuesdays are hard too, but you at least have one day in(Can you hear the need for Spring Break in my tone?)! The bubbler made me happy today(and btw, in Wisconsin a bubbler is a drinking fountain. I call this thing a bubbler because it makes the coolest bubbles. Some people would call it a water cooler but how boring is that?), so I took a picture. Other things that made me happy were listening to Levi, who is nearly five months old, laugh. (I should take more pictures of that cutie.) I also enjoyed talking with his parents and eating dinner and later ice cream with them. We attempted for the second time to bowl on a Monday night but there were no open lanes. We need to go earlier. One day we will go. Too bad Isaac will be off training to be a nice military guy. I will miss him. I guess Erin and I are now on our own for our traditional family home evening. What will I do when Erin also leaves to be with Isaac and the other option is FHE with the silly ward? SIGH!

Well, off to bed. It is much to late to be awake on a work night!

Saturdays are super!


I decided to make the weekly pilgrimage to Layton on Saturday instead of Sunday this week. I do this sometimes because then I can spend more time with the wee nephews. They go to bed at like seven and by the time I get up there after church and all, it is after five.

They were silly in their Speedracer and Wolverine costumes. And Oliver with his little piano skills was much too cute.

Morgan and I went shoe shopping after lunch. I have a very hard time picking out shoes sometimes. Make the whole trip about getting flats for church because a cute boy there is shorter than me and goodness it is even harder. It was nice to be shorter and talk with him though!

Dinner from Jimmy John's subs was fantastic. I was also very impressed with the signs. So very cool.

The weekends seem to go much too fast but they are majorly enjoyed by me!

P.S. I really wish you could have read this before I edited it because it was drunk funny! I think it is probably time for bed!

Fridays are Funtastic!


Fridays really are funtastic when you work with somebody who dresses up as the mascot and poses. He also played dodgeball with the head on. Fabulous. I also work with nice people who like to eat hamburgers after work on Fridays. That makes Friday funtastic as well! And Fuddruckers is yummy to boot!

How did the work week still feel long even though I only worked for three days? Weird!

Turning 34 Tuesday


Today was a wonderful day. I was able to sleep in past nine and then I ventured to the temple and did a bit of worshipping there! I also went and visited my friend, Shule, and her cute little baby, Elia. I always enjoy spending time with those two sweet girls. Shule had her birthday on Saturday, so I brought a little cake and ice cream and we celebrated together. It was a surprise and I enjoyed it totally! I wish I would have taken a few pics. Shucks.

I then came home and ran. It was a nice afternoon for a run. Chilly but nice!

Then I went out to dinner with my friend, Kerri. That burger sure was tasty. The celebration week of Alice has now finished.

It is Fat Tuesday. Lent starts tomorrow. Here are the things I am giving up:
1. Caffeine
2. Cadbury Mini Eggs
3. Swearing

My friend, Jane, suggested that I don't only give up some not so healthy behaviors in my life during Lent, but that I should also add a few healthy behaviors. So here is what I will add:
1. Weight Training(at least twice a week)
2. Reading More
3. Eating more veggies

So there you have it. I hope all of you have a very nice 40 days until Easter. If you dare, give up something. It feels good to be able to stick with it the whole time!
