Fall is my favorite!

The temperatures have gone down and that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Wait...maybe the temp. being lower makes me chilly and fuzzy inside. Yeah, that is better. I really am a cool weather type of girl. I think the weather being rainy and chilly this weekend made for a turn around in my attitude. I never claimed to be normal...and that isn't the norm. Most people get excited about Mr. Sun. I like him and all, but he burns me sometimes. And seriously...I like when Ms. Rain makes her appearance. So, needless to say, Alice has been one happy camper the past few days.

Yesterday, I think I had diarrhea of the mouth. I think it is called logorrhea. Or something, I love to learn new words too.(I learned that word at faculty meeting today!) Anyway...I just couldn't stop talking. I really think I have hit a turning point. I think it could also be because I stopped listening to Kelly Clarkson's new CD. I decided to give it a rest...and bam...better mood. Weird huh?

I got to play tennis yesterday. My friend, Bingo, almost decided for us not to go because she is a pansy and didn't think it was warm enough to play. Luckily, we went anyway. It was pretty hilarious to see her all bundled up in a beanie and long sleeves and pants. So funny. It wasn't that cold when you were moving. We decided to end on a tie at 5 games a piece because it reminded us of our childhood when it was the best to end on a tie. No fights, no feelings hurt. Very good all around! Man, I have missed playing tennis. We also went for slurpees afterward which is also a happy maker for me!

Tonight, we play softball again. It is our second game in the tournament. If we lose, we will be done for the season, which would make me pretty sad, but as I age losing isn't as hard as it once was. I am just glad to play and have a good time.

I am horrible at keeping caught up with my grading. My poor little students hate that about me...but they just have to deal with it because it is out of their control and mine really. I did spend two hours grading today after school. It was much needed. Unfortunately, there is still a bit more to grade. Bummer. Too bad I have no motivation ever! Maybe tomorrow! :) Procrastinators Unite Tomorrow!

The pictures are to show why I love this time of year. The trees on the mountains are a changin'. Love it. Man, I love fall. I got to wear pants to school yesterday. It is very cold in the mornings. I love these new Adidas pants...they have a great pajama-like feel! Love it. And the Packers are 3-0...what fan would complain about that? Love it. I love to be able to see highlights on ESPN as well. Love my DVR. I tape Sportscenter every morning and watch it as I eat breakfast. So very nice.

Well, must get ready for softball...wish me luck!

Living in a college town isn't all it is cracked up to be!

Today is a home football game for Brigham Young University. That is great and all, except if you actually live here and have no passion for BYU football. Then it is just an annoyance. I was reminded of how much I hate to drive in Provo during such events as I came back from my bike ride today. So much traffic and bad driving. I had to take the secret slow way to keep my sanity!

I did enjoy the ride in the canyon though. The fall colors are starting to pop. I wish I would have had my camera, but no such luck. Maybe next time.

I think I have adult onset ADHD. I have just been wanting to crawl out of my skin lately. That is weird for me seeing I am usually a pretty calm individual. Maybe it is because I watch too much TV. Maybe I should be a part of a new study to see if TV can also affect adults and make them also get ADHD.

Maybe these ADHD moments come from the socially akward situations that I am placed in. Last night was another birthday party and I really didn't want to go to it. Why do people have to have birthdays all the time? I was at another one last weekend. Then today I have to go to a bridal shower and I really hate bridal showers. I thought I would be done with bridal showers by now seeing so many people in my sphere get married all the time. At 24, I thought I was done. I guess that is not true. Maybe I should just start hanging out with only married people. Then there will be no showers and no receptions to have to live through! SIGH.

Well, I think that is it. Remember to say Yes! It is the theme of the month!

Just some more pics!

The librarians will be kicking me out in like two minutes. Must only post the pics and write more tomorrow. I was not happy to have to dress up for Enritchment tonight. I did love frisbee golf last night. Until later...later gators!

Okay so they finally uploaded!

Enjoy my new mums at my house and my new brewers shrine. The hand is some writing my crazy student did...she was so sad I didn't still have it on this morning at school. I told her that hygene is very important to me.

Pictureless

blog blog blog. Well, here I am again after spending a half an hour trying to post pictures to this post. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I hate wasted time. That really browns my biscuits. Whatever that means.

Today I wanted to murder my students. I do not know where all this rage is coming from. Maybe I was not held enough as a child. Just kidding, Mom!

I was just talking to Ms. Potato Head, our school counselor, today about the very subject of not having any patience for the students. I told her that it is way too early in the school year to be burnt out. We were very glad that we are not the only ones who are sick of kids already! Her potatoes were really baked!

I had a very good weekend. I actually tidied up the place. I wish you could see it but there are no pictures on this blog. Just envision vacuumed floors and sparkling white toilets. Well, only imagine one toilet because I only have one.

I decided today that I want to marry a Tongan. I think only a Pacific Islander could appreciate all I have to offer. Like my wide hips. A friend(who I refer to as Ice, and who does not want to be named) told me she would go to a Polynesian Ward as long as I could find a British Ward for her to attend. Very funny. I still am very bitter about the lack of normal men around the globe. (Or even in this small valley)

I really wish I had something profound to say today but my brain feels like mush. Actually, I don't really know how my brain would feel but I just know my neurons are not working properly.

Take your vitamins and have a great day!
