Put it in my Box

Another semester of Integration of Educational Technology started last week and I'm glad to be back with the undergrads for another class. I'm hoping that I'll do a better job this time, having one course already beneath my belt. Things went well in the Fall, but I think I can do a better job this time. So far, we're two weeks into the class and I'm amazed how many students take this course. I wish I could say it's due to my superb abilities to inspire the next generation of educators, but I think the class is simply a requirement towards graduation in Elementary and Secondary Education. Oh well.

In preparation for this semester, I went to the T & L office downstairs to make some copies and I realized that I actually have my own mailbox down there. I've been doing this since August and this was the first time I'd seen my little space. Of course it was completely empty, but still - it's the first sign that I actually do something for the department. I'm dying to see if I can go another entire semester without receiving a single paper in my box. Perhaps I can set some kind of record!

Down and Out

Sunday was just another day. Sure it was colder than usual, due to the temps dropping, but still nothing that would make you shake in your shoes. Still, all throughout church I found myself sweating and aching. I knew that something wasn't right. I came home and immediately went downstairs and curled up on the couch. I don't want to get into any details with my illness; let's just say I don't want to separate from my good friend, the WC, any time soon. Two days and several useless hours of tv later, I've come to the conclusion that I don't like being sick. Here's the run down on the too-sick-to-move TV guide.

Air Force One (with limited commercial interruptions by NyQuil)
Intervention (I can't believe how crazy this show is - real reality tv)
Top Chef (Bravo was having an MLK marathon)
Jazz vs. Wizards (Don't get me started about the Jazz!)
Finding Nemo (Kennedy joined me for a bit)
The Real Housewives of Orange County (I don't have anything to say)

I desperately need to go back to work tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Pardner

After we went to 4 different restaurants to celebrate Coleton's birthday we finally settled on Ruby River. Everything was great - even though I couldn't eat that much food in a week, let alone a sitting. Best of all, Coleton had a good time. I don't he quite fits into the 10 gallon birthday hat. Still, you can't argue with a free slice of asphalt pie. Happy Birthday Coleton.

Says it all

I was just looking at an article about Flickr for work and it said to type in your name and see what comes up. In addition to little kids, a wild frat guy, Subway man, and the guy from Prefontaine - there was this little gem.


Do you agree with Jared? Do you?

In the Sun he Melted....

Our little friend the snowman had a rough day today. The temperature got up to around 50 degrees, as the calm before tomorrow's storm. Overall, he lost about half of his BMI - I only wish it worked that quickly for me! You'll also notice that Kennedy finally figured out that his mouth was made of chocolate chips. If you look closely though she did manage to leave Snowman's nose laying on the ground beside him. I guess carrots aren't as appealing as chocolate.
