what's going on?

we are not quite sure. we as in me and my head, which should be just me. so, i am not quite sure.

however, i am sure that you faithful readers are less than impressed with my sporadically lame posts in the recent months; especially the absence of the sunday morning post 2 days ago. whoops. to that i apologize.

here's what i've been doing:

trying to decorate my classroom.

this is a huge undertaking.

it's a big classroom.

and at the same time, it's not big enough!

lots of chalk coloring to do.

{many thanks to nikki for the discs and idea. duh!}

i also have to drive to salt lake twice a week. that cuts out nearly 5 hours of my day. and i've been spending way too much on gas. springville to walmart {as a teacher--love it. as heidi--hate it. i much prefer target. like times 1000.} to salt lake to school to apartment to sunflower. too much!

talk, talk, talk.

i've been in this new apartment with katie for 2 months and i've just made friends with our other roommate. love her. sometimes we end up in the kitchen talking for an hour or more. it's worth it though.

i don't think i've made it in bed before 1am for like 2 weeks.

and i've been watching a lot of movies.

schoooooool. last 2 classes!

for the program that is.

we all know i've got stats in slc.

and i'll have to take a health class in the winter.

nbd.

running 5 days a week.

i wish it were 6.

but, as in the case of today, sometimes there's more to do than there's time in the day. and something's gotta give. and it can't be an hour of sleep to run because, well, i already gave up an hour of sleep because i stayed up too late last night. oh, the mess i'm in. not really. ha.

{so you're probably wondering, why is she wasting her time on this right now? well, i'm eating a big bowl of oatmeal with yogurt and fresh strawberries and peaches and blueberries.}

and i went to the hot pots/springs on friday. i think that's on the bucket list. now crossed off!

this concludes the list of some of the things i've been doing.

HELP WANTED.

MONEY WANTED.

teachers don't get paid enough.

and our budget is certainly not enough, especially this year.

FUEL WANTED.

for myself and my car.

you can just send a chevron gift card in the mail.

and this is the background on my laptop.

i love this picture.

but i noticed i'm the only one without a toothy grin!

oh well, still love it!
