Come on!

Last night I ate salmon and asparagus for dinner. Then i went out and exercised for 30 minutes...............................How come I'm not skinny yet?

Oh the weekend

This weekend I played tennis with my wheelie friends and they're getting better than me. No, no, no we can't let that happen! That's what I'm thinking and then I watch a womens conference talk on the BYU channel all about PRIDE, of course.

I also got denied from my insurance company. So I'm still dealing with insurance idiots from my fire that was almost 4 months ago. (I want my condo to be back to new again, can you blame me--again PRIDE) I really don't want to throw a fit--because I'm not brave enough--but I will. I'm going to stand up for myself even though I probably won't get what I want. I just want to stick it to 'em. Wish me luck!

Last night my roommate, friend, and I watched 13 going on 30. Then we watched the Pat Benatar video that was one of the extras. They started dancing to it and what started out as innocent fun turned into a three hour dress up / make up / video recording of our own Pat Benatar music video. Lucky I was the videographer so I'm not in the video, but I felt like I was 12 again. Oh geez...

I'm off to ward prayer because I guess there really are things you never grow out of. I just might post a few pictures. We'll see if it finally happens.

I know I'm slow

Well I was looking at the dates on my blogs and it's time for a new one. SOOO...I went to church today. I'm still in the same singles ward, for the past 7 years. I turned 31 in February which is the magical age where you get kicked out, but for some reason the bishop asked me if I wanted to stay---LUCKY! The girl who visit teaches me is 18. She's probably younger than Whitney. Oh Geez.

I'm at Jenny's house right now she made homemade pretzels and fried green tomatoes. AH... Yummy! Martha Stewart WHO--ever. We're watching the nightly news right now. Last night there was a man killed in a neighborhood by my school and a swat standoff down the street from my house. :) I love Salt Lake.

I got my new tennis wheelchair a few weeks ago. All my very own and for free. I took some pictures last week so now I just have to figure out how to get them onto my blog. I'm going to keep an eye out for wheelie tournaments in Seattle so you can all come watch.

Hal-O-freakin-lu-yah. It's Labor day weekend I don't have to work tomorrow!! Ciao

Seriously!!

So I got a phone call on Sunday (I'm in Washignton) from my roommate. She was like umm...well...you see...ahh... I was like WHAT!! she continues to tell me my new condo almost burned down while she was at church. Just then another call beeps in it was the Midvale City Fire Dept. Someone flicked a cigarette into the landscape next to my house which is made up of dry bark/bushes right ouside my bay window and started a fire! The FD came and put it out but they had to break in one of my windows to make sure it didn't spread inside. So the outside of my windows is melted and one window is cracked the other was broken out (now boarded up). Luckily nothing happened to my house except a little smoke damage. BUT SERIOUSLY--flicking a cigarette into dry bark!! It must have been crack because how could anyone be so stupid!

Teacher you NEED one of these!!

Last week, at the end of the day I saw one of my students wasn’t done with her math so I went over and sat by her desk because she was needing a little extra attention. She starts telling me that her mom had a baby while we were off track and the baby can’t come home yet because she’s too little.

So I tried to ask her some questions but she didn’t understand or know the answers—especially in English. Then she starts saying “Teacher you are soo nice. Teacher your are the best teacher. Teacher you never yell at us. (Yeah Right) Teacher I love you I wish you were my mom.” I’ll admit it’s a little flattering. Then she asks me “Teacher why you have no daughter?” and I just smiled at her. Then her eyes got really big “Teacher I know…” and she was pinching her index finger and her thumb together and she said “Teacher my mom gets this thing and when you use it if it gets an X you get a baby but if it gets a zero…not baby! “ Then she looks at me so seriously and says “Teacher you NEED one of these!!”

I am positive she went home and asked her mom if she could buy me one of those sticks with the magic X so I can have a baby. I’ve been laughing for days.

Ms. Master's

So I've been working on getting my master's degree for the last 2 years. It has made life pretty busy and I'm definantly getting BURNED OUT. After sitting through 3 hour classes week after week, I keep asking my friends for a spare pencil to poke my eye out but no one has helped me out yet. It has only been barable because I do have good friends sitting through it with me. I've had three teachers that are sooo boring and I just want to hold up a sign that says "I don't care what you teach me--Oh, the world is flat after all. That's great--Now Give Me An A! so I can get a raise"

So in my class I sit on the computer and update my blog until--HOLY CRAP the teacher just called my name and I didn't know what to say!! I did give a pretty good answer though but it will take a few minutes for my heart to stop pounding. AHH!!
