Fall Fever

Recently, I have been obsessed with oranges, greens, browns, blues and reds. I really think that fall has sunk in. I have also fancied leaves and trees. That's not weird at all, right?!

On to a normal topic...this weekend was exhausting but fun. It was hilarious to watch my grandparents play Wii. I'll have to put this video up later today. Left to come home yesterday morning, as I worked 2:30 to 11:30 last night. It was crazy busy at work. I managed to make it out of there with only a huge migrane and a fever. And by fever I mean...101.6 and slight dizziness. Feeling better today though, but decided against teaching. I didn't want any of the students to get sick if I was really coming down with something. I will just go to work and infect everyone else tonight :]

Next Monday is my last Monday teaching :[ This internship has been a great one!! I was really nervous about starting, only because it was something completely new. And I LOVED it!! The kids were wonderful and my coordinating teacher talked to me all the time and answered all my questions. Oh...if you didn't already know...I was working with Special Education students. I have never been so sad to leave a placement, as I am to leave this one :[ I won't have a clue as to what to do with my Monday mornings anymore...

Well...off to do fun things with trees and leaves :]

Wii Mania

I think I finally figured out how to upload movies onto this thing :]

This one is Adam (Justin's cousin) & Justin playing Wii at my house this past weekend. In case you can't tell...Adam is kneeling on his knees. He got really into the game. I think they were playing red light, green light on Monkey Ball Banana Blitz.



I think I got some bad news today. I got a message on my home phone from a professional recovery business. I'm thinking that either (a) my dad did not pay the doctors bills like he was supposed to; (b) he paid them and they did not receive them; or (c) someone in my house moved the bills and my dad never saw them and they did not get paid. So...I'm pretty sure the collection company is coming after me, and ruining my credit because my insurance company dropped me when I turned 19, and no one sent in the proper paperwork for my dad's insurance to cover me...with me being a full-time student and all that jazz. So I get to call them at 8:00 morning :] AWESOME! Not.

Work was kind of a roller coaster today. Our manager, Don retired. It was pretty much touching. We found out who he promoted at the new supervisor of the front end....good choice, good choice. And...one of the girls I work with, made the comment "to visit your mom" when I asked where everyone went. I thought she knew about my mom, and I guess she didn't, but that didn't make me feel better. It's not that I was super mad at her, just super mad at the whole situation.

OH! Then my laptop had a virus. Super!! But Justin and his dad fixed that. And then the internet didn't work since it was set to proxy settings. They fixed that too.

Simple Pleasure - awesome managers who go above and beyond to accommodate his associates :]

Simple Pleasures

So...I've decided that at the end of every blog post I am going to give that day's current simple pleasure. I have so much in my life to be thankful for, but there is always that one thing everyday that just puts a smile on my face.

So this weekend was a blast!! My dad was away hunting which was kind of a bummer :[ We were up until 1:30 Friday night playing Wii and then Saturday, Adam came over and the guys played Wii while I worked on homework. Adam was here until about 11:30 and then Justin stayed until about 2 :]

Brooke is still sick. Sandy took her back to the doctors for the 3rd week in a row. She sounds better this week, and she says she is feeling better but she still has a croopy cough :[ We decided to nix the pumpkin patch idea, and we are going to buy a pumpkin and all new paint and all new paint brushes, so we can do something fun together for halloween. Plus I plan to get all kinds of fun cookies for us to bake with Sandy :]

With all that said...let's catch up on this weekend's simple pleasures, shall we?!

Friday - Talking to Brooke and her telling me she loves me and she misses me :]
Saturday - For great managers & coworkers who are super understanding when I messed up my schedule by a whole shift...oops :]
Sunday - Justin & I going out to eat on my dinner break :]

Today's - One of my student blazed through her math work today! And she did excellent working on one digit addition using charts, tables, stamps & a calculator! I LOVE my profession :]

Addiction...

Is not a pretty thing. We got our Wii on Thursday and because I was at my grandparent's house that night, we hooked it up last night. And boy is it fun :] We were up until 1:00 playing the dern thing!! But it is pretty cool. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do :] So now, not only am I addicted to coffee, books, ghost hunters and redecorating....I have Wii to add to my list :]

We went out for date night last night - my treat. We planned on going to Outback but since we piddly-farted around with the Wii, when we got there it was jam-packed. So we went to Noodles instead (fine by me!!). And we stopped and got another nunchuk for the Wii and a Cranium game. It's super fun. Then we went and got gelato. That stuff is really yummy. Especially the caramel one.

Well I think Justin is coming over to play Wii this morning :] I'd better get my fix before he hogs it :]
