Sundance


I finally got the opportunity to go to The Sundance Film Festival today. It was a way cool experience, even if the movie Jane and I saw was a little on the weird side. We had been shopping at the outlets and our timing to get to The Eqyptian Theater was perfect because there was a man selling tickets just when we were about to go do something different. We only stood in line for about ten minutes until they started bring the line inside. It was fun to just be a part of the whole experience and the theater was way cool.

When we were walking away from the movie, somebody kept yelling "Oprah Winfrey." We almost didn't turn around and check things out, but we were glad that we did, because we totally saw Oprah. She was at an art gallery just up Main Street from the theater. I wish my phone would be better at quick shots, but it isn't. The woman in the gallery is Oprah. Then you can also see her in the middle of the crowd in the other picture. Her friend Gale is just behind her. It was quite a sight the mob that had gathered outside the gallery to get a look. It was an adventure. I am very glad we decided to go today. It was a blast.

We also had some fabulous pizza at Main Street Pizza and Noodle. It was very very yummy! We then wandered up and down Main Street a little trying to see some more celebrities, but we didn't find anymore. It was a very fun day. And I even got new clothes, including jeans, which I desperately needed. Very satisfied with today! :)

Friday and Such!



About to head to Park City to see if I can see a film at The Sundance Film Festival. You know that big movie thing! Should be an adventure.

I hate brussel sprouts...just saying. There is not enough olive oil and spices to make it okay. GROSS. And yes dad, I tried it twice and figured it out!

Yesterday we had some fun with Matt, our Special Education Leader, at lunch. Doesn't it just look fun?

Last night was burger night. I LOVE burger night. I love the petite burgers. I think I mentioned that before! It was blast. We also hit a dollar movie afterward. Very fun. See ya in the future. I am outta here!

A Real Good Day!



Included a pic of my Leadership class. They were real good and fun today. I am still not sure how some days they can be AMAZING ROCKSTARS, and then the next complete dweebs. Crazy. We had a good talk about attitude and how our choice to be either positive or negative can make or break our lives. Very good and interesting. The pic is from an activity they did using washers on a string. Basically, I got them to move the washer back and forth without thinking about it. Their mind truly had control over their body. Cool how our minds are so powerful!

The other pic is from the weekend in Vegas. Isn't that one cleaver fan. Take an old and stupid Favre jersey and make it into a Starks jersey. Talk about making a negative a positive, right? So coo. What a small world to find a guy in Vegas who went to college 45 minutes away from where I grew up. Totally cool.

Well, it's getting late. I was going to watch some TV but I better just sleep for my students' sakes tomorrow. I did some things I love today:
1. Taught cool kids. Played badminton against my favorite competition.
2. Laughed and laughed at lunch
3. Went to a Weight Watchers Meeting
4. Picked on my leader! Read about it HERE
5. Went to dinner with my friend, Jane. Applebees' steak is so yummy. My lack of gallbladder did not like it but I did. Good talks with Jane as always.

Here's to another good day tomorrow.

Tuesday that felt like Monday!



Today would have been Movie day, if it weren't for the whole grades being due today thing. I am still having a hard time grasping the fact that the school year is already half way over. That is just plain nuts. And plain exciting. Oh summer, I await thy arrival!

Today was a good day. The thing I did that I love is have lunch from Gandolfo's with my friends, Kristi and Jackie. We have now dubbed Tuesday as lunch together day. They both have second lunch. I technically do not, but because I have prep hour during fifth hour, I can take second lunch if I prep during my regular lunch. It is totally fun to get out at the middle of the day and see the sun shine. It is also way nice to talk with Kristi and Jackie. They are two of my favorite people.

The other thing I did that I love is run outside. It was warm enough today and the snow is suposed to come tomorrow, so I totally took advantage of it. I love running. Have I mentioned that ever? If you ever want to read about my runs, I do have a running blog here. I also wore two different colored socks while I ran. I am pretty awesome. It does nothing to help people see you any better, in case you were wondering. I totally had to be very aware of my surroundings because two people cut me off. Jerk faces. Good run though. I am way lucky!

Good day and tomorrow is already midweek. How cool is that?
