Saturday IS a special day!

Hi all. I should have amazing pictures of the first Burger Friday of the school year to post but I did not bring my camera or even think to take pictures of the first ever Monthly Guitar Hero Party. Sad. I had about six people over after Red Robin to play and it really was a blast. We even got people who refused to sing at the beginning to eventually serenade us! :)

I really do have great friends, don't I?

Not much else to tell you today. I have been pretty much the laziest person on the planet today. I woke up late and then watched our flag football team (Independence High) get beat in overtime. I then came home and played Guitar Hero and watched some of my DVRed shows from the week. I am about to go and take a walk and then I am going to hit the grocery store. I figure I will go shopping while all the silly people are at the stadium watching the BYU football game. The city is crazy on game day! I may bake some cookies tonight. I was going to for the party last night but never got the motivation or time.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

I think I am going to start writing a social skills blog....

Post #1: Do not spit gum on sidewalks or floors. When in the tragic dilemma of having yucky gum in your mouth look all around. In most places, you will be less than fifty feet from a garbage can. Walk to garbage can and spit your gum out into it.

It does not make anybody happy to have gum on their shoe, even if it smells minty fresh!

There is the social skill that I taught my boys PE class today. I found fresh gum on the floor after the janitor had just washed it about an hour before. It got on my shoe and I was pissed!

I really get to teach such valuable lessons!

Hiking in Rock Canyon

Today was long at school. From a possible broken tailbone(student not me) to an almost fight in Boys' PE to a kid hacking all over the place, it just seemed long. It did go fast in some ways, which is good.

I went hiking with Kirsten (a new teacher at our school). She is pretty darn cool because she is pretty much my twin. We are very similar in personality and have a great time together. We hiked Rock Canyon and then picked up pizza and played Guitar Hero. It was way fun. We even convinced Janette to come and play with us on a school night! Crazy!

That is pretty much it. I truly love hiking in the fall. The colors are starting to change up there. It did make me sad the other day when I thought that winter is just behind fall but I have since reminded myself to live in the moment and enjoy the colors and fall in general.

Almost Midweek

Today went fast. I should be sleeping but I am not. I did a lot of cleaning tonight. People are coming over for Guitar Hero on Friday night after Burgers. We got paid today. I was excited but I am also not excited to see what I owe for my surgery.

I think this will be short. I am going hiking tomorrow so I think there will be pictures to add tomorrow. Look forward to that.

Just a note. I had a Kelly Clarkson free week. I thought I was getting a little obsessed. It was good. I was reminded that I have a ton of good music. I think my other music had gotten jealous. I am looking forward to listening to Kelly again tomorrow though. lol!

New Vinyl Sign

I just hung this sign over my front door. I love that quote because it reminds me of all the lessons I have learned from Challenge Day and Next Step. (learn more at challengeday.org) Each day I will be reminded that I am in control of my story! :) This is one of the two new signs I bought at the scrapbook expo. They were cheap!

The Packers came back from behind and beat the Bears tonight. It was pretty loud with my screaming in my living room. I was very happy.

Not much else. Had a good weekend. They do go much too fast, though. SIGH!
