More kid quotes.

"We should wear armor when we play dodgeball"

"We should have a class pet. It would be good for our reality show!"

The girls are being just as funny today as they were the other day!

New Hair!

My friend, Kerri, treated me to a haircut and style at a real salon. It was quite cool and I think I have been converted from the el cheapo cuts I usually get. It looks nice and my hair is so silky smooth. It was actually quite funny because the hairstylist loved my hair. She thought it was so pretty and felt so soft. She actually played with it for a long time and lost track of the time while doing so. I found it hilarious.

I have been stressed and feel haggard and old. Enjoy the pic of the new hair. I think I look tired. It is late and I should be sleeping.

First hour PE was the highlight of my day. Here are a few quotes that were awesome from that class:

1. One of the students asked me what it would be like if our class was a reality TV show. I asked her what we would call it. She thought for a minute and said: "Alice and the Class" to the tune of Benny and the Jets.
2. Same student, who isn't very coordinated but today played really hard said this after scoring in Ultimate Frisbee: "Do you want some ice with that burn?!"
3. As we were cleaning up the same student said: "Hey guys...that was totally ULTIMATE!" Like the pun?
4. Same student also said: "Alice, have fun with your non-favorite classes the rest of the day!" I had told them they were my favorite class earlier because they play so hard. Silly girl!

Well, besides that I feel tired and worn out and it is almost midnight and I am not asleep. I am not smart either! Cheers!

A little better...

I am having less of a panic attack than I was the other day. That is progress, no?

How about these tulips? I love them. They are in front of my old house and I actually planted them. I figure that gives me the right to take pictures and cut a few of them off and keep them in a vase in my house. It makes me pretty much happy!

I still feel a little overwhelmed this week but that is okay. I need to just make time for the things that I have to get done before leaving in a few weeks.

I just almost typed that I didn't have anything else to say but then I thought about a few things. Everyday, I am very excited because my towel fits around me so well(after showering) these days. Funny how as you lose weight, little things like that can make you smile. I also have noticed how it is pretty light in the morning when I get up now. The other day I almost freaked out because I thought I was an hour late! Funny. Another funny thing is that every other day I drink a smoothie for breakfast. It always makes me really cold. I have been cold lately. Mostly it is because this spring is insane and their always seems to be a threat of snow and because I have 30 pounds less of insulation, so it makes me chilly sometimes! Fun.

Is it possible to be absentee from your own life?

The past two weeks have pretty much been a blur. I really have no clue what I have been doing. It is crazy.

I guess I have been super busy or something.

Today I was trying to catch up on grading and couldn't find a whole class worth of papers. Weird. I do know they are on bright green paper, but I have no clue where they are. Crazy.

I also feel like I have a lot to do before I can leave in 25 days. That is pretty crazy too. There is a house to clean and a tornado seems to have gone through my office. I am glad I was not there when it went through, that would be scary.

I am in charge of planning the Senior Banquet at our school and I am feeling a little overwhelmed about it. It is not fun.

Today in a meeting at work, I felt like I was picked on a little bit. I really didn't want my opinion to be heard because I wasn't really too bent out of shape over the issue but then a co-worker thought my voice really needed to be heard. It was ugly. I really hate confrontation and really didn't need it today. Oh well.

What else is crazy? I am tired all the time. That means I should cut this short and get my little hiney to bed(and yes it is completely fun to think of my hiney as little!)

My knee hurts causing me to not run this week. That makes me sad...but I need to make sure I can continue to run and not hurt. Sometimes doing that is hard but I think overall it will be better!

Well, done with the ramblings. Check out the weight loss blog for some recent pics of me in new clothes.
