Love and Basketball

I haven't gone out to eat like... at all... in the last month or so.

But I have been to the movies a few times.

I love spending my money on movies.

I've run out of space on my movie shelves.

Normally I buy my movies 3 for $20 at Blockbuster because I get dibs, ya know. I rarely buy movies new unless they're at a killer price.

But today, I pre-ordered my copy of Avatar because I love it so freakin' much. I got the two disc DVD/Blu-Ray edition for $24.99. That's super cheap. Used 1-disc Blu-Rays cost that same price so I'm pretty excited.

In order to get free shipping I decided to fork out an extra $2 or so and buy Wimbledon because my husband Paul Bettany is in it.

Um, a few minutes later I decided I really must own Finding Nemo, so I bought that used online through FYE (every time I check in the store they don't have it). $10.99 (plus shipping).

Somebody stop me!

Really though I'm very excited about my Avatar. Inexplicably excited!

On an entirely separate note...

The faculty vs. students basketball game was today. I don't know what the score ended up being but a student asked his friend in the hall, and he responded, "Bitch-ass teachers."

Wow. I'm not really sure what that means, even in middle school speak. Not sure I care because mostly I was focusing on the linguistic breakdown of his response and couldn't come up with anything sensible.

Also, a week later I am still sick--even worse than a couple of days ago. I think maybe I shouldn't work out today. Just a thought.

You could have worked out today... playing basketball!! I've been laughing for 5 minutes about the students' comment. The game ended up a tie, but that will live to be debated for eons. Just ask the students. They will tell you we cheated even though the calls were 25-2 (yes I was counting) in their favor. get feeling better. don't forget lit. mtg... OR intentionally forget, and do something enjoyable with your morning

October in Review

Image
October 1 we woke up around 6:30 and watched nightmare before Christmas. We all took a nap. I took AJ to Walmart with me. I listened to most of Viola Davis' memoir. It was so good.  October 2 AJ and I were up at 6:00. I was busy preparing for our rehab conference at work. AJ spent the day at his grandmas' house. It was a normal evening at home, and I ended the day watching Riverdale.  October 3 I walked on the treadmill. It was just a normal day.  October 4 I did leg day. Work was busy as I had to set up for the rehab conference at the hotel. I played with AJ and did bedtime. Matthew picked us up dinner and we watched Couples Retreat.  October 5 I was up early for the rehab conference. It mostly went well. I played with my baby and had a fairly normal evening, hard conversations aside.  October 6 I was up early again for the second day of the rehab conference. I took AJ outside and spent time with him. I started on the cleaning and laundry. October 7 and I was up at 6:00 and fi

November GBOMB

I missed October. I just didn't have the mental energy or time to commit to it. But I like doing these. It helps me reflect more about what I'm thinking and experiencing in life rather than just listing what I do in a day like a news report.  So in November... Good California. Everything about it. AJ did so well on the way there and on the way home. The weather was great--rainy day included. Being with my dad and watching him connect with AJ. Watching my brothers love on AJ. AJ getting to run around outside. The only downside is that my favorite donut shop was only open one day we were home, and they didn't have my favorite one.  Family photos. I love them! We took them at Wheeler Farm again, and Ali had them to us in two days. She's so good at what she does, and I was able to order our holiday cards super fast.  Christmas. Lights. Decorations. Music. It makes the short, dark days easier. Having Christmas music or movies playing just brings so much cheer.  Exercise. Wit

November in Review

November 1 I had a four hour fierce conversations training at work. I ran some errands after work. It was a normal evening at home, and Matthew and I watched lessons in chemistry.  November 2 I was awake at 6:00 and lifted weights. It was a work from home day. We went as a family to eat dinner at Salt City burger company, which was pretty disappointing. It was a normal evening at home.  November 3 I was up at 6:30 and went on a walk. I worked for a few hours. I got most of the house cleaning done as well as three loads of laundry. We went as a family to Cornbelly's. It was perfect weather and not crowded. After bedtime Matthew and I ate panda express and watched lessons in chemistry.  November 4 we all got up at 7:00. I went on a run. I did my laundry, took AJ grocery shopping, got Dutch Bros, and took AJ to play outside. After AJ's nap we went to Cornbelly's just the two of us for the very last time. It was a normal evening after that (dinner, bedtime, etc.).  November 5 A
