1. Marm- I remember being so frustrated in some of my first Ed. department classes. The professors, in this case, were coming in with the assumption that we all knew how to do a lesson plan when we didn't. A few people did from other classes they had taken, but still. Also, in one class the professor wanted one format while in the next class s/he wanted a totally different format. They'll get used to it. They don't have a choice 2. Lots of schools closed today, but not because of snow. We might get some later but I'm pretty much south of the snow line. We had freezing rain all night and I guess the roads are pretty slick. 3. I'd rather have snow- at least it's more fun. If I lived by neko and Adven and anyone else around there...how fun. Besides the whole shoveling thing. And by the way, with where they live, how can they not have snowblowers? 4. I decided to check the job board yesterday and there are 3 social studies positions for next year in this area. Very close to me. One was posted while I was writing a cover letter up for the other one. One I dn't think I will even get called back- i've applied to their district three times for various things that they're still hiring for but never called me back about. Plus they want Econ certification and that's pretty much the only social studies area I don't have. My license has broadfield social studies, anthropology, history, geography, sociology, and political science.

1. I'm baaack! Ms. Sweetpea and I arrived home last night from our trip to Mexico, just in time to sit down and watch Survivor. Yay! (still have to watch our tape of last week's show, though!) 2. We are both tanned and feeling great. I miss the leisurely sunny breakfasts and morning mimosas already. And where's the beach? I'm glad I have today off to transition. <insert clipart of snowshovel here> 3. After our pics are ready, (Monday?) I'll post about our trip in the Road Trips thread. In the meantime, I'll just mention here that we had a wonderfully relaxing vacation, as well as a very fun one. We went on a eco-adventure tour and went flying along a zip line (cable and harness) above the treetops in the Mayan Jungle and had a wild (and sometimes scary) time! Also went snorkeling/exploring in the underwater caves and cenotes, bicycling and other fun stuff. It felt a little like being on The Amazing Race. 4. It's nice to be home but I wanna go back! 5. It's going to take me hours to catch up here, in between laundry and restocking the fridge, so am headed to Tess's Tales first for the essentials. Thanks again, Tess for your great summaries! I missed TVCH!

1. Welcome back, Babyruth! 2. My son woke up at 2 a.m. and thought that it was time for us to get up too. Since I had only been in bed for 2 1/2 hours, I didn't agree. He finally went back to sleep at 4:00 and got up at 6:15. We've had a good day. 3. It is beautiful outside today and is supposed to be nice all weekend. If it is not going to snow anymore, I'm ready for spring! 4. I'm getting my haircut tomorrow. 5. My best friend is leaving her husband after 11 years and 3 kids. She finally told him and called me to tell me about it, but my daughter fell off a chair while we were talking and started screaming so I had to go. I hope it went okay for her. This is hard for her to do. 6. I'm tired and my body hurts from my run this morning.

1. Tball practice is officially cancelled. Kota will be upset about it. 2. Poor Harvey keeps walking to the door and scratching to be let out. I open the door, he takes one look and runs back to the living room. Couple minutes later, he's back scratching. 3. Half an hour ago it was sprinkling just a little, so I called Kota's teacher and told her to put her on the bus. 10 minutes ago it started pouring, and now it's too late for me to make it to the school in time to get the kids. 4. Mow's car is running great. he's got a buddy who is a Honda mechanic, and this guy is going to put a new clutch in, was also supposed to do the timing belt, but they didn't get to it quick enough. 5. He's only charging for parts, so it would have been cheaper to have him do the timing belt, but since MOW needed the car back quickly, we couldn't wait for his buddy. Ah well, it's a good little car that up until now has never had a problem. 6. Have I mentioned lately how much I love dsl? Today I was able to watch a video clip of Spike, and it's perfect! Can't wait to see how well the live feeds are during BB, though I'm kind of scared, LOL. 7. Baby neice has been teething. My poor sis has gotten almost less sleep lately than I have and is just exhausted. I'm going to take the girls for a couple hours this weekend so she can get some rest.

1. Dang, we had one heckuva windstorm here last night - and it's still going on this morning; 2. A little bit rainy, too; 3. Gotta go get a manicure and pedicure here in the next couple of minutes - Colossus said so, and handed over a credit card for me pay for the same while he's off cracking whip on one of his crews; 4. Uhhh - this generally means he has evil in mind for the evening; 5. Poor guy, didn't realize he was so romantically deprived, but we have been fighting a bit during the week; 6. Last night I sent him upstairs to take a shower after dinner (he was pretty tired, and it tends to relax him and wake him up at the same time). When he came down, he was all tricked out in his navy robe, matching flannel jammy bottoms, clean hair, freshly-shaved face and Aramis that I could smell halfway across the room. LOL; 7. He sent me upstairs to put on my jammies, and when I came down all the lights were off, candles lit, a massage table set up on the bar, and soundscapes playing softly on the stereo; 8. I won't say anything more except MAN did he work me over. I gotta do better, and I think I'd better come up with something sexy for tonight or he's going to be very disappointed. Thinking, thinking - hoping that Victoria's Secret shipment gets here today.

1. my outing on thursday night was so much fun! got a little wild, though! 2. we drank the bottle of champagne in the car first. then i had a long island iced tea in the bar (only 1) and i was TRASHED! 3. friend called me 3 times to make sure i was home safe before i could ever find either one of my phones. (oh, it took awhile to get up off the bathroom floor too). 4. the message on my voicemail went something like "where the hell are you?" 5. i still felt drunk when i woke up yesterday morning! 6.. i did the mystic tan thing again last night. figured i better do it while it is still on sale. looks better this time. no weird streaks on my wrists. 7. i bought a t-shirt and photo album at gordmans last night. the t-shirt is funny, it says shady sam's fake id's...and has a picture on it of a cartoon guy making ids. lol, it is a lot funnier to see than i am explaining it. 8. my latest favorite thing to wear is t-shirts over thermal shirts. comfortable and warm. 9. i think i am going to a women's expo with a friend today...hopefully. it will be something different than spending the day at the mall. lol 9.5. i weighed yesterday and i have lost 10 lbs so far on the "lifestyle change"! i am so excited. i am actually sticking with it this time!

1. Tonights my fiesta party! 2. I've been cleaning house the last two days... Man there are a lot of spider webs around here! Yuck! 3. It's 30 degrees here already, it almost "feels" like Mexico outside! 4. I burned all our vacation pictures to a cd and captioned them this morning. Now my poor guests are going to have to sit through a slide show...lol! 5. I made some homemade salsa and a really good fiesta bean salad. Now I have to put together my casserole and I'm done! 6. Some of my guests offered to bring mexican food, so I'm going to let them. No sense in being a slave to the kitchen all day. 7. Jordan's last Basketball game was last night. They won! He scored 110 points this season. Not NBA stats, but pretty good if I do say so myself! 8. Now we have a 2 month break with no sporting events. I'm looking forward to that. 9. I slept almost 12 hours last night. Don't know why I was so tired, but I feel great today! 10. Sounds like Jbean had a fun thursday, I'm hoping to have fun tonight, but don't want to feel crappy tomorrow.... I'll let ya know!

lol, i call it that, because that is what the weight watcher people call it. if you call it a "diet" that would imply that it is temporary, but this is more of a life change, hence called "lifestlye change" i swear. i am not making this up. eggie, please help me on this one. whatever you want to call it, it is basically eating healthier and less forever.....make sense?

1. I am so glad to hear that Jbean is out having a great time with life! 2. I just hope she isn't driving her lil bum home in those conditions! Ack! 3. I bought an Iced Tea Maker from WalMart the other day for $14.00 4. It came with two pitchers and two filters-one for iced tea and one for iced coffee. 5. I LOVE this thing! 6. It is raining again here today and the weather man says it will stay that way for another 5 days or so.....will us Californians ever see the sun again? 7. I watched the Butterfly Effect last night again.....intense.....

1. Jbean's 1-5 is reminding me of my law school days 2. Luckily I only set up the bar nights to raise money 3. and watched all the people get drunk 4. as I collected all the cash 5. for a good cause (my class) 6. I was very responsible when in charge 6.5 but then there were those two weeks after i lost my reelection and i was NOT in charge.... 7. I avoid any talk about diet or lifestyle change since i will never be part of that 7.5 and so it is not my place to comment or offer advice 8. since i know nothing and care little about what is actually in food 9. if i like the food, i eat it

1. jbean is right! 2. Weight Watchers does call it a Lifestyle Change because you are changing the way to prepare, eat and look at foods that will have you lose the pounds and get into a healthier lifestyle. 3. I'm proud of jbean for losing 10 pounds so far! 4. I had forgotten that she was even doing the WW program and it appears she's finally got it in her mind to do something good for her body. 5. I will say that WW doesn't endorse a whole bottle of champagne followed by a long island iced tea...however, there are those times when one must indulge in these ways. (WooHoo jbeany..you go girl!) 6. It is very difficult to change your former habits, especially when it comes to food choices. 7. On a personal note, I went through Weight Watcher from November 2002 through December 2003. 8. I lost a total of 65 pounds and it has stayed off. Yay for me! 9. There are times when I'll eat a big fat juicy hamburger with french fries....and I'll enjoy every single tasty bite! However, I've only done this twice in the past year. 10. And finally, to help me keep myself in check and not return to my former self, I am committed to exercising 3-5 times a week, either at Curves or taking a nice long walk.

1. Every Long Island Iced Tea I've had was too weak, guess I need to chase it with the champagne, lol.
