The Office Goodies!

Some people may think I am weird; that is okay with me.  Last night, I drove up to Salt Lake in order to check out the dollar bins at Target because they had the chance of having The Office goodies.  I had checked the Target in Orem, Utah and they did not have any of said goodies.  This explains the rash trip to Salt Lake, where they actually have five Targets.  My friend and I set off after having wonderful Indian food(you may here about this in the next post).   We decided to hit the one that I figured I could get us to the most easily.  In happened to also be the closest to Provo as well, the Sandy Target.  I was actually quite surprised to find out that the first store we stopped at had a plethora of Office stuff!  I was like a kid in a candy store and got about 20 dollars worth of dollar goods.  I, at first, had gone overboard and had over thirty dollars worth of stuff in my cart, but my friend helped me narrow down my finds. 

 

This story is great and all but really it made me so happy to find these cheap treasures.  It was like an adrenaline rush.  Crazy!  Don't worry the things are not only for me.  I do plan on giving most of it away(In fact, I have made three co-workers days by giving them presents!). I am excited to have my own sticky notes and notepads.  Great stuff.  So happy. 

 

Those are the highlights of Tuesday 

Spiders!

I hate spiders.  Just thought you should know.  I have been killing at least one per day lately and I am sick of it.  I have heard about these electric repellant things and have thought about getting them.  Anybody every use these?  If so, did they work?  What kind works better?  I seriously need to get some.  Any help would be appreciated!

I hope you are all having wonderful weeks.  So far, so good here!  No exciting stories, yet.  

Later.

I felt like chicken last night...

I haven't blogged lately. I apologize to all of you that have been waiting on pins and needles to hear what happened in my meeting on Friday. Well, here is what happened. I came, I saw, and I kicked some butt. It went well. My mother was right; I always get nervous and think I will do horrible and don't plan until the night before and then do fabulously by flying by the seat of my pants. I am just glad for it to be over.

I hope you are loving the picture of the chicken. I grilled that all for myself. I was thinking about that earlier and I kinda felt lame because that is a lot of chicken and I should have found somebody to share it with! I didn't do much interacting with people yesterday, although I did spend an hour with my friend Mel, her husband and her baby. That was nice. The rest of the day was spent in front of my TV either napping or watching football or silly movies. That was kinda weird seeing it was a nice day. I should have gotten out and done something. I was really tired though for some reason. I think it might have had to do with not sleeping much Thursday night. Catch up maybe?

I feel kinda bored lately too. Why is that? When I don't have school, I just don't know what to do with myself. Weird. Silly thing about this boredness is that when I am busy and have a lot to do, I just want to be at my apartment doing nothing. Funny.

That was good chicken by the way. Yummy. I had corn and rice with it. Fabulous.

I really don't have much to type about so I feel like I am rambling. I think I do that a lot so it probably seems normal to you. I did get my windshield replaced yesterday. No big crack on the windshield now. It is weird to drive it and not have the crack. Weird.

I got my plane ticket to travel home for Christmas. That makes me happy inside. I cannot believe that is only about three months away. Time goes fast. It is already the middle of September. Weird.

Okay, friends. I am out. I am thinking of writing an article to replace the one that is on Sports Illustrated this week. Brett Farve was on the cover. Funny thing was that there was absolutely no mention of Aaron Rodgers and his fabulous game in the entire magazine. It kinda made me mad. Weird. Anyway, if I get the energy to write it, I will post it on here! Hasta.

Hi.

Guess what?  I am writing this right from my desk at my office at 7:30 in the morning.  I have been up for an hour and a half already.  I have been waking up going to bed early.  It actually has made a difference in my life.  I feel more awake during the day and can remember things easier.  Weird.  I also have been more hungry which means my metabolism is working better.  I like that. 

I am the world's biggest procrastinator.  I have to present at a meeting tomorrow morning and I really have no clue what I am doing.  Why do I wait until the last minute?  My mother told me yesterday that it is just how I work.  She remembers me always writing term papers really late while in college the night before they were due and they always turned out well.  She also said that the knows I am the kind of person that just has to jump into things and kind of wing it.  I guess she is right and yipee for moms, but I really get nervous because of the way I am!  Don't tell my boss.  :)

Well, I am off to work.  I hiked Rock Canyon again last night and it was so gorgeous to see the sun setting from up there last night.  I wish I had had my camera because the camera on my phone did the sunset no justice.  In your mind, imagine pinks, purples and oranges mixed together on a canvas of fluffy clouds above the mountains to the West and above Utah Lake.  Ah.  It was fabulous!

Tired Tuesday.

Well, Tuesday wasn't that tired, I am just tired now. I have gotten up at 6 a.m. the past two days on purpose. Sure, most people really do wake up at 6, but for me that is early. I usually sleep until about 6:50. It has been hard but worth it. It seems like I am actually a little more awake during the day. I have learned though that I am pretty much non-coherent the first half hour I am awake. It is werid.

I am dreading Friday. I have to present in our Teacher Quality(TQ) day. We are reading a book about Professional Learning Communities and I get to present the second chapter. I have a hard time with "education" books. They are boring and not fun. It is going to be hard to come up with 60 minutes worth of stuff to talk about. I think I can do it though! (Or my usual philosophy, "fake it 'til you make it!")

I got a package from my softball coach this week and I thought I would share a bit of it with you. First, a team photo, then a few pictures of our 2nd place trophy. It was funny when I opened the package during lunch yesterday and as I pulled out the trophy, someone in the room said: "Is that a man on your trophy?" It is not a man but I figure it is just going along the stereotype that all women who play softball are homosexuals. I also was not impressed by the size of the hips because they looked a little big to me. It is another stereotype, all girls who play softball are also fat!




Funny.

Well, that is it for me. Off to sleepiness. Record I know: in bed by ten...weird.
