Back to the Grind

Well, today was actually a GOOD day! Yes, it was a Monday and yes, I had stupid early duty BUT the day just FLEW by! I am sure it will suck tomorrow, though. LOL

I was loaned a VHS tape of the Paperclip Project that I showed my juniors. It is an awesome documentary about this little town in Tennessee that changed a bunch of kids/adults lives ALL OVER the world by studying the Holocaust. It showed my kids (who look just like the kids in this documentary) that you don't have to be, think, and act like everybody else by stereotyping or profiling those different from you. I loved the message of love and tolerance it gave. Wow is all I can say.

I am starting a new exercise program today. I am going to return to running. It's been a long time and I hope I won't injure myself. Anyhoo it's a 6 week program to get me back into running shape PLUS toning my bod and abs (AKA Fatroll). I am not stopping my yoga..I am just going to enhance my performance. I will keep you posted as to how well I keep up with this new endeavor. Care to start an odds pool? LOL

It has been exactly ONE WHOLE WEEK that my body has not indulged in ANY caffeine liquid. No diet coke (gasp!), no black coffee (gasp!gasp!), and no tea OR any other caffeinated beverage. I can hardly believe it myself but once I got over the first THREE days of withdrawal...I am golden! I am a water drinking, sierra mist loving nutjob! And I have energy! Thank you to my bladder/kidney failure last week or I would have NEVER attempted such an awesome undertaking!

I have to write a paper this week for my Lit class. Thrilled. Actually, I like doing this but don't tell anyone. It makes me look like a nerd. Oh wait, I am a nerd. Who else takes college classes when they already have a degree???? LOL (yes Ashley and Trish you are nerds)

I am doing quite well in my NCAA bracket. I may have lost a few but I got the right ones in the Sweet 16! I am sooooo ready for Football Season! Notice how I capitalize Football Season..it should be a National Holiday!

I will try and post later this week. You can also follow me on Twitter...thanks to jake and rebecca! Like I need something else to do!!!! Later.......

Sidebar: If you want to leave comments about my blog, I believe you can now do this without having a google account. I changed some things on my settings and would love to know if it works. Soooo, one of you brave souls without a gmail account please give it a try. I promise not to hold it against you:)
