Happy April Fools!

Truth be told.  I really dislike this day.  I am not one who likes jokes, nor do I like jokes to be played on me.  I find then awkward, and I hate feeling awkward.  Seriously though, I hope you're having a wonderful day--free of mean jokes.

I am going to go to a meeting after work, and then (hopefully) will go to the gym I joined.  It's their opening day, so hopefully it won't be too crowded.  No, I'm not kidding.  I. Joined. A. Gym.  Actually, I'm not sure how long I can afford to go because my car insurance premiums have just gone up, but that's a whole other story.  I think the real question is, can I afford not too?  Hopefully it will not be crowded and I'll be able to get a workout in before I head home to the second job.  I'll keep you posted.

Have a great Monday!

Happy Monday!

I know, I know...happy and Monday do not belong in the same sentence let alone the title for a posting.  In any case, here's a wonderful video I found on YouTube by Beckah Shae.  It deals with a dream she had, and since I've had some pretty bizarre dreams lately, I figured this was a good one to post.

Monday, Monday...

Yep--only this week, I'm off of work! (Yippee!) Okay, so I'm supposed to be paying homage to the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., however, I spent the day goofing off, just because. :) It's also my grandma's birthday--although we'll probably celebrate this coming weekend since this month has just flown by. That way we can celebrate my grandpa's birthday (which was at the beginning of the month) too. Happy Birthday Nanny!!!

I have only spent two days at my new work location and I LOVE my job again! It's like sunshine and roses--which is quite a difference from the other place. I feel bad for the two women I'm working with because I'm more like a deer caught in headlights right now rather than an actual contributing member of our team. However, I'm giving my self another week to acclimate before I buckle down and get some things truly accomplished. After all, this school is double the size of my other school, AND I actually get to be a librarian rather than a secretary because..we actually have a secretary!!!! As I said, sunshine and roses....

Congratulations to TK and Rachel--this season's winners of The Amazing Race. I must admit, I was liked all three teams in the top three, so I would have been happy either way. (Although Don's grandson is a JERK.) I kind of wished the father/daughter team (Ron and Christina) would have won because they were so close, but TK and Rachel didn't lose their cool during the entire race and it paid off in the end--literally! I just wish I could get a video done to send in for an audition, but I have a sneakin' suspicion that the show may stop relatively soon--mainly because the audience is dwindling. That would be a bummer, because I really don't want to audition for Survivor.

Okay--you HAVE TO see the movie The Bucket List!!!! I went with my friend Maggie this morning and the movie is awesome! (The language leaves a lot to be desired, but it's typical Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.) I wish I had brought my quote notebook along with me because there were so many poignant lines that I would have loved to write them down. Definitely take some tissues though--there wasn't a dry eye in the house--and that includes the men! Wonderful movie!!! I may even have to add to my bucket list--especially after watching the movie. The main point the movie was trying to make is that you should live every day to the fullest because you never know when it's going to be your last. Don't sit on the sidelines of life--jump in with both feet and have an adventure every day rather than waiting for the special moments.

In other news, I'm moving...yes, again. I have about a month to get things ready, which is tons of time! Hopefully I'll be able to move things a little bit at a time rather than all at once--less stress that way--but, we'll see.

I have to get things ready to go for tomorrow--I'm driving a lot farther now (until I move) so I have to make sure I have everything ready to go because 6 am is when I head out for work, and we all know I am NOT a morning person! :)

a bright spot in a dismal day

The children invade Monday....start praying....our internal theme for this year is: Together, We Can Beat Them!

(If you've ever met any of my "children" you'd understand our internal faculty motto.)

On a brighter note, after a completely horrendous day today, I arrived home to find a copy of Camy Tang's new book Sushi For One? waiting on my doorstep! If you haven't subscribed to Camy's newsletter, you're missing out. Check out her blog for more information. She's hilarious and definitely my kind of girl! I was able to read part of chapter one through the Zondervan daily book excerpts and I can't wait to get started on the book!



Here's a link to when Camy received her author copies of the book...


I'll let you know more when I finish the book! TTFN!
