home sweet home

i made it home from my trips to south carolina and houston to a messy apartment! i had left in such a rush that i had clean laundry in one room and dirty in the other (i live in a one bedroom apt!) the good news is though i made good on my cleaning and spent a while cleaning my kitchen. i had to throw out some food that had gone bad while i was away. i rearranged the placement of a few things and worked on getting the grease off the burner. so i figure that gives me 20 points seeing as how i didn't come straight home from the airport.


i went to see my college roommate who was in town. love her! then i went to pick up my younger cousins because their parents were out of town and we spent the afternoon together. well worth it i must say. i love spending time with them! i've been babysitting them almost ten years.
i start school tomorrow but apparently part of my grading is in the boyfriends bag from the flights. oops! i packed both of us and forgot that he had two piles of my grading and i had one. i might have to go to norman to get it or i might not. depends on what is it. i am not surprised it's very standard that i would do something like that.

are you a flighty person? i swear since becoming a teacher if it's not written down it won't get done. i've got a million things running through my head at the end of a day, weekend that i can't remember what someone said ten minutes ago. i mean i think i had this problem before i started teaching but teaching has made it worse.

well happy monday!

where i've been and where i'm going

ten years ago where were you?

i was in atlanta spending new years with my friends! we were seniors in high school and ready to move out of our parents homes and start college. i had already been accepted to the fantastic university of oklahoma (boomer!), i was working as a hostess (and hating it!), getting ready to move into a new house with my parents, and ready to start my new life in oklahoma as a college girl.

with that being said where will i be in 2010? what kind of resolutions do i have? i only have a few actually and they are as follows.
  1. to spend 15 minutes an evening cleaning up whatever mess i have made in my apt
  2. to take forrest for walks most evenings
  3. to blog more it's very freeing
  4. to get my grading done on time
  5. to say thank you more
that's if for now. what are your resolutions? where were you ten years ago?

germs = 50 jen = 0

i am sick again! I was healthy for all of two weeks and then came home. while my family is out showing david how awesome greenville is. i am stuck at home in bed because i feel like a 450 lb person is sitting on my chest. oh how i love my life! i know this will get better but sick on vacation? i need to get better so i can play with david's nieces and nephew when we go to h-town on the 31st!


at least i'm at home and my mom can take care of me? ha ha i do better when left alone to wallow in my sickiness which is what i'll be doing for the next few days!

merry christmas to my christmas celebrating friends and see you at the movies to my jewish friends! :)
