Day 168 of 365: No gnus is good gnus!

This is the flat screen plasma TV that was donated to the school by someone last year. It hangs in the hallway outside of the office. My classroom is right across from the office so of course I see it everyday. In the morning, they show the Broadcast News (announcements) done live by the students! That part is actually pretty cool. But honestly, what a waste for a really nice TV! The rest of the school day, it's on channel 3 which shows the "Jaguar time" (our mascot is the jaguar). So basically, it is just an overly expensive clock??? Yeah, I don't get it either.

Day 167 of 365: It's a beautiful day!

I was just about to leave my apartment this morning when I saw the colors outside of my window. I wasn't sure if the camera would be able to capture them, but it seems to have done an okay job. The weather has become quite spring-like. It's a shame I have to work late every night this week and can't even enjoy it. I've definitely caught spring fever, though! Yea for not having to wear a coat!

Day 166 of 365: Another moon photo

It's very bright outside tonight due to the full moon! It was difficult to take a true photo of it, but here is a hand-held shot from my balcony tonight. You can see the moon itself clearly, with the glow all around it. I bet babies are being born all over the place tonight!

Day 165 of 365: Movie time

Total chick flick, but it was fun! My sister suggested going to the movies this weekend, so we decided to see this one. I enjoyed it. The "Mac guy" was especially good. It's nice to see he has a little more acting ability than just those commercials (which I totally love, though!) We went to dinner afterwards and had some nice sister conversation. Thanks for a fun night, Mandy. :)

*Oh and pardon the glare on the movie poster. There was just no good angle (I tried) and I don't have a polarizer function on my camera.

Day 164 of 365: Good intentions

I had intended to get out for my miles after work. It was in the 50s, sunny, etc. However, I didn't leave work till 5 (grades to input before Monday morning) and *had* to rest for a few minutes. By the time I was ready to go run, it went from light to dark within about 15 minutes. So, instead I laid everything out for an early Saturday morning run. I normally like to sleep in a bit since I have to get up early every other day, and since I work PT on Saturdays. But, I had to get the run in! And yea! It's going to be in the 30s in the morning. :( So... wish me luck.

Day 163 of 365: Magic pills

Seriously, how did I live without ibuprofen before? Always love a late night trip to the pillbox, though. At least within 45 minutes, all is well again.

Day 162 of 365: Frosty

This is the top of my car this morning before I left for work. It was 17 degrees F this morning (something like -10C according to my car thermometer). I'm happy it wasn't all over my windshield and windows like the other day. I usually don't leave enough time for defrosting in the morning! Despite the extreme, bitter cold, it is actually a beautiful morning- the orange reflection in the photo is from the sunrise. I'm sort of looking forward to my run this afternoon. It should be just at freezing, but still bright and sunny.

Day 161 of 365: Discovery

Ok, this has to be one of the most delicious discoveries I've had lately. Yummy. I've been VERY good and only had 2! They're nutritious right? Oats??

Day 160 of 365: Margarita time!

Stopped here after work today with a fellow teacher! They have the absolute best margaritas. Tonight we went all out and had the homemade top shelf version. It was quite strong! Had a fun time chatting and relaxing after work, though- especially on a Monday night.

Day 159 of 365: Superbowl Sunday!

Hehe. I couldn't care less about the big football game, so I figured the best time to go grocery shopping would be at kickoff! I was totally right! About 15 minutes to get in and out with 4 large bags of groceries. If only it could always be this peaceful!
