Practically Friday.

Whew...it has been a long week. We only had kids at school four days this week but it has felt much longer. I am very excited to have a weekend. I think the burnout continues. :)

I had dinner last night with some real good friends. My friend Joanna is moving to Denmark at the end of the week. That is kinda sad to me but happy for her because she married a Danish man. I think I am going to have to find me some European man so I can move over there! Maybe the men in other countries are much less annoying and frustrating.

Well, I think that is it. Later.

BYE BYE CREDIT CARD DEBT

HI. I just got back from watching Macbeth at BYU. It was weird. They set it in Book of Mormon times and in South America. Weird. They also changed the names of the characters. Weird. BYU....sheesh.

I just wanted to announce that I am officially credit card debt free. That is a pretty big thing. It makes me happy inside. In a few months I will also be car debt free. Much more happiness.

There is the news for today.

Goodbye!

Yada Yada Shish Boom Bada.


Now that is an excited person on their way to work!

Yesterday was okay. I went to work and had meetings in the morning and then I got my grades finished and cleaned off one of my desks (I have three). It is exciting to be in term four. I woke up today and said to myself, "Summer cannot come soon enough." I think I have reached the March burnout that often happens. Tired. Tired. Tired.

That is okay in about three weeks I will be heading to Vegas for Spring Break. That will be good.

Last night I watched 24 with Janette and then watched Chuck. Real exciting, eh? I did also go shopping and got stuff to make a present for Janette's birthday. I am not going to tell you much about it because, even though it is a small chance she comes on here to read this, I would be sad if the surprise is ruined. It is going to be crafty I will tell you that, though!

Well, off to the excitement of my work life. That was sarcasm for all of you that couldn't hear it in my typing. Have a great day!

Steak, Eggs, Mini-Eggs, and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies.


For lack of exciting subjects to put on this post, I just put a list of the things I ate yesterday. I have always picked on my mom and older people about this because often times their conversations seem to be about what or where they ate. Funny. I had some great fried eggs for breakfast yesterday. I didn't eat lunch, or maybe I did but I can't remember. Then for dinner I grilled some steak for my librarian friend. It was sure good. Throughout the day, I had Cadbury Mini-Eggs as well and at about eight p.m. I decided to bake pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They are fantastic. Thanks to Anne for giving me her wonderful recipe.

Have you ever noticed that recipe is a funny word? I just tried to type it with two Es at the end but that is wrong even though when you say the word it sounds correct to spell it with two Es. This could become a random post, if you haven't noticed already. I really don't have much to tell you. The weather is changing though. It is supposed to rain here the next few days. I think a few of my friends are worried that it is going to snow, but I have heard it is only supposed to rain. I am okay with rain. I like it. It reminds me of home. It also brings pretty flowers. My little crocuses have started to bloom. I guess it is truly spring. I love those flowers. They are kind of metaphoric, seeing they blossom where my dirty neighbors live. It is as if they spring up through the trash that surrounds them. I guess this can happen for people too, if they decided to change their situation. I think trashy behavior breeds trashy behavior and if people don't realize that the way they were raised is not quite normal they too will just be the same. But if they decided to rise above their circumstances, they can bloom through the trash. Nice huh?

I am almost to the point of being tired of Kelly Clarkson's new CD. I love this CD, by the way. If you want to have a good CD, buy it. I think I will review it on here one day. I listen to it all the time: in my car, on walks, while cooking, and while cleaning. It is good for all things! :)

Ok. I will quit the randomness. Have a great day. Bloom where you are planted.

Happy Friday!



Well, I have made it to another Friday. I like Fridays. Today is the end of the term. I was at school until after seven last night trying to get caught up. Go me! I figured if I got caught up, finalizing grades would go a bit faster on Monday!

We don't have kids on Monday either so that always makes it feel like a three-day weekend. Meetings aren't my favorite but at least I don't have to be prepared for teaching!

Not much else has been going on. The weather has been great. I have gotten out and played catch a few times. I look forward to some fun weekend walks as well!

Enjoy the Friday; I know I will!

I hope you like the pic too. Some of my co-workers put that together for my birthday. I always thought I would be a professional basketball player! :)
