Flashback Saturday...

I really want to start a weekly tradition of having a flashback day. Basically, that means just putting an old photo on the page and talking about it. This picture is from Spring Break like two years ago. We stopped in Cedar City and hung out with the Bills as they were also going south during that time. It was around Josh's birthday and look how tiny he looks. This was one of many fun nights spent with The Bills! Lots of memories have been made with them.

Today has been one of the laziest days I have had in a long time. I didn't do a whole lot except sit around and watch TV. I did wash some dishes and clean my bathroom but besides that just lounging. I did leave the house once but it was only to go to the grocery store to buy some chocolate. I went in my pajamas that I have been in for more than 24 hours. What a life huh?

I think winter is officially here and that causes some laziness. I need to break out of the bonds of winter one of these days...maybe tomorrow! :)

Bad Blogger

I apologize for being a bad blogger. Bad Alice!

The week has flown by just as time is lately. Not much to report.

Here are things that make me happy right now:
1. Christmas Lights
2. Timer for Christmas lights. I was very glad to have my lights greeting me the other night because I had not seen daylight that day(that is one of many things I hate about winter....the long nights.)
3. Playing Madden 07 while pedaling my exercise bike. It is like I am not even exercising.

I was at a conference today for school. It is a way cool program that I hope to implement in my Leadership Classes. I get to go again tomorrow. It was nice of my principal to send me there, even if on short notice. I have liked not being at class. Don't tell anybody, it is a secret.

I must go sleep. It is much too late.

Thanksgiving was good....now looking forward to Christmas!

I love this time of year. I really love Thanksgiving and I feel it is a very important holiday that sometimes gets lost because of the greatness of Christmas. Do not get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas, but I also think Thanksgiving gets a bad break, so I always wait until the day after Thanksgiving to get excited about Christmas. No Christmas decor or music until the day after Thanksgiving. I am very excited about holiday music and decor now, though. Only 20 days until I get on a plane to fly home and really that is what is going to keep me going the next three weeks. I am so excited to see my mother and family and to just chill with them. Mom, be prepared to watch some movies and play some trivia.

The holiday was good. I was able to see The Utah Jazz lose in basketball, but still I was at a pro game, right? That is all that matters. I was able to babysit a very cute baby on Wednesday. Thursday, I was able to both watch the Packers play and peel potatoes...all at the same time. I also was able to eat some wonderful food and spend time with my other family. I sure do love them. Friday, I got to see New Moon and spend even more time with the fam. Saturday, I went up and was able to attend a temple session with The Bills as Caleb received his endowments for the first time. We then went to Red Robin afterward. Yummy!

Today was a chill day as I just want to church. I actually was only out of my pajamas for those three hours today. That is my kind of day! I have been busy tonight watching football and writing my novel. Good times!

So, there you have it. You are officially updated.

Hmmmm......TURKEYS

I like that tomorrow is the last day that I have to teach this week. It is going to be very, very, very nice to have a few days off. I plan on doing some major sleeping and eating. That is what Thanksgiving is all about right? I told my students today that I would not miss them because hanging out with a turkey would pretty much be like hanging out with them, the turkeys that they are!

Life is good. Gave a good lesson on Sunday. It is actually nice to be done with it. I hate the whole being nervous in preparing. The talk was by President Monson and it is spectacular. Click on Monson(it will be in green) to read the talk. You will enjoy it. Mom....read it!

What else. Hmmm. It snowed yesterday. It was pretty coming down but then I started to think about how I don't really like snow and winter. I think I need to buy some full spectrum light bulbs this winter!

I have been eating a lot of chocolate lately. I like it. I had some nice pizza tonight from Papa John's. YUMMY. I am going to have In-N-Out burger for lunch tomorrow. One of the teachers at school has prep the hour before lunch and he was totally okay with going to get it for us tomorrow. That makes me excited. Funny how food really makes me happy these days!

Here are a few things that I am thankful for today:
1. Friends who are so supportive of me.
2. Good talks with co-workers after school.
3. Visiting Teachers who come and visit me and who are hilarious.
4. Pizza and Fresca
5. Music
6. Sleep. (I better go get some!)

I remembered

A student reminded me of the second funny that happened in Health yesterday. While I was talking to the students, one said: "hey, did you know if you tilt your head to the side it makes the room bigger?" That as funny all by itself but to see the whole class then proceed to put their heads sideways was priceless!
