Half Way and Okay!

I was just reflecting on my job and really I do have a great job.  I guess having a week away from my students has made me appreciate them more.  We are already half way through our first day back.  I love lunch.  I think I can make it through the next six weeks! :) Later!

Lists?

For some reason, it seems that writing lists instead of blogging are more appealing to me lately. Today was just another Sunday. I am not excited about going to work but I think if I were to vacation anymore I would become bored, so maybe it is good to be back.

I am sitting here wondering what list I should make. Should it be all the interesting places I have been, should it be a list of all my favorite movies, should it be a list of all things on my floor? What should it be. I think I am just going to make a list of all the movies I own, well at least the first shelf on my DVD storage place:

1. 13 Going on 30-I love this movie. It is chickflickishous! Imagine being able to have visited yourself as a 30 year old when you were just 13!
2. A League of Their Own-Any woman baseball fan would have this movie in her collection. What a fabulous array of famous actors. I wish I could have lived during this time and been a professional baseball player.
3. As Good as it Gets-I love Helen Hunt and in this movie she is superb. Seeing the transformation of Jack Nicholson's character from a bitter, mean, OCD patient to a nice, loving man was awesome.
4. Aspen Extreme-This isn't the best movie in the world but I watched General Hospital religiously at one time and Finola Hughes was on there so I had to check out the movie she was in.
5. The Bachelor-Great movie. Renee Zellweger is one of my favorite actresses and Chris O'Donnell is quite handsome. It is also a great movie about either getting married or stopping a relationship because there is just nowhere else to go.
6. Bewitched-I love Will Ferrell, he is just hilarious in any movie he is in. This one is a cute story of a clueless witch finding love and really it is based on the TV series so it has to be good!
7. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen-I like teeny boppy movies and I really like Lindsay Lohan in these types of movies. I really have no clue why!
8. Dan in Real Life- One of the best movies to come out this past year. It has everything: humor, love, heartbreak, and my favorite talent: "Murderer of Love."
9. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood-Just a heartwarming story of growing up and having great friends to share memories with.
10. Electra-Jennifer Garner as an assassin, need I say more?
11. Elizabethtown-Such a good romance story. I wish it were as easy as it was in this movie. Just give me a map to my husband would you?
12. Enchanted-Even though my friend, Moo, hates this film, I love how Disney allowed a movie to pretty much make fun of all the Disney princess movies. I love how well Amy Adams played a clueless princess who truly finds reality and grows into a pretty amazing real person. LOVED IT!
13. Fever Pitch-Hello, the perfect combination of baseball and romance. I watch this at the beginning of every baseball season!
14. Finding Forrester-Haven't watched this movie in a very long time. Its draw comes from the whole I love writing business. I should watch it again one of these days.

Well there is a glimpse of my video collection. Maybe I will continue this tomorrow. We will have to see how exciting the day is. Notice that my movie are in alphabetical order, one of my few OCD tendacies.

Memoir

She Wore Many Hats and Lived.

Pretty much I don't have much today. One of my friend's tagged me, so I had to write my own six word memoir.

I always have a hat on my head. I also do many different things in my life, so I thought that was a pretty appropriate dual meaning quote. I think it is important to live. This doesn't just mean breathing, it means actually enjoying the journey of life, which I try to do.

A list of the hats I wear:

1. Daughter
2. Friend
3. Teacher
4. Listener
5. Writer
6. Poet
7. First-Base Player
8. Advice Giver
9. Good Driver
10. Dreamer
11. Realist
12. DVR Watcher
13. Movie Connoisseur
14. Blog Writer
15. Diamondback Mountain Bike Rider
16. Scoreboard Operator
17. Slob
18. Green Bay Packers
19. LA Dodgers
20. Utah State Rugby
21. IHS
22. John Deere
23. NY Mets
24. Rhinelander Hodags
25. Funny Quote T-Shirt Wearer
26. Converse All-Star Wearer

That is good for now. Have a great day!!

Fun Friday!

Besides being relaxing, today was a real fun day. I got to sleep in. (LOVE SPRING BREAK) I then went for a bike ride in Provo Canyon. It was the first such ride this year. I think that the canyon is one of my favorite places in Provo. The trail was great and it was even warm so I was out with just a t-shirt and shorts. GLORIOUS. I think I even got sun burned. Anyway, it was a wonderful experience to be back out there again. The picture is from a part of the trail that still had some snow thanks to a little avalanche. It was an adventure to hike over it dragging my bike along side me.

After riding, I went up to Draper to IKEA. I got a new coffee table and a new desk. I figure I can now purchase some cool coffee table type books. I also am excited to have the little desk that I plan on using solely for the purpose of writing. I need to do that more.

I went to Red Robin with a few friends in honor of Burger Friday. And then I played softball. We lost again, but really it was only by three runs and really I only play to wear socks as a wise friend said to me. I wore my new pink socks that go up to my knees. Man, softball really is an excuse to wear fun socks.

Well, that is all I got. I am having a better attitude about being back in Provo. :)

Thursday....cold Thursday!

I didn't think being back in Provo would be that hard for me. BUT it is! It is so cold here. A drop in thirty degrees in a big thing. Maybe I will relocate to Vegas. Maybe not because I would then always be complaining about how hot it is.

Today I have been absolutely good for nothing. I got up at 10:30 and then sat around watching movies on Lifetime for about four hours. I should have been cleaning or grading papers but no I just sat in front of the TV. What a loser. Oh well, it is my break and I can do whatever I want except for looting banks and burning down houses, I guess.

So, really there is no news. I think my Spring Break has plateaued and that makes me sad. Seriously, I don't want to depress you all; it is just hard to come back from vacation.

Tonight I will watch The Office. That is a good thing! Later!

And I do have my new Elvis clock to stare at...that also is happy!
