nothing original

A full moon must be on the horizon. Today was… well, I’m not sure how to explain it, but my boss and I were mentally tired by lunchtime, nearly exhausted by the end of the day.

I started to try my hand at knitting today. I received a kit from Creative Home Arts Club. Boy, whoever put thought about putting this kit together needs to be fired. This is supposed to be for knitters of all types, including beginners like me. The instructions were terrible and they gave me the “hairy” yarn. This was not yarn for a beginner. Luckily I have a very good and patient friend, Annalee, that is a terrific knitter and she showed me how to get started this morning. Of course, by the time I got home and tried to continue, I really messed up and had to start over. I’m kind of afraid to move on without her present so she can fix my dropped stitches. I will learn… eventually. Tomorrow is Star Trek!

I didn’t get to do an entry yesterday because I spent the evening packing my Arbonne stuff for the Health Fair today. Today’s turnout was light. I did get a few names which is good, but I need to get cracking and call these people. Tomorrow is another day. Friday, the hubby and I are going to see the new Star Trek movie. He is such a kid… or geek. He watches the trailers online every night.

I can’t believe we’re already four days into May. I’m kind of excited: I get to take Wednesday and part of Friday off. I have to use up some comp. time and May is pretty much the month I need to do it in. June is going to be hectic with Commencement, and I have a feeling that I’ll be adding more comp. time during that period of time. It’s difficult because Commencement lands on a Friday, the end of a work week. Sigh, I like my predicament.

So I didn’t have an entry for the end of April. I ended the day exhausted and couldn’t muster the energy to get to the computer. Not to mention that if I did, I’d be up until midnight again updating this and facebook, going through e-mail and general surfing. I think I’ve done a pretty good job keeping up with my blog. Let’s hope I keep it up. Happy May Day! I’m turning in early. I’ve got testing tomorrow: SAT.

Another day has come and gone, but it’s only Tuesday. Tuesday is also guys night out, so I’m taking care of the kids. So what do I do? I download Lode Runner on the XBOX. I haven’t played Lode Runner in years! The last time I played it was on an Apple IIe computer with a 5 1/4 floppy disk. Of course, back then it was a green screen and stick people, now it’s really cool digital graphics and music… a heck of a lot more fun.

I’ve been e-mailing my cousin about a family reunion in Hawaii and putting together a geneaology book together. Since she knows I like to make my own greeting cards, she asked me to help. This is going to be fun and stressful at the same time. I can’t wait to get started. Okay, yes, I can.

This weekend was too short. I had testing Saturday morning and I almost forgot we had a 5th Ave. show on Sunday! I did not want to get out of bed today.

I e-mailed my cousin about a family reunion in Hawaii to celebrate our grandmother’s 7th year of her death, visit some our parent’s old haunts, and be tourists in a few places. I can’t wait! I only hope I can save enough money for this trip by then. Just over a year away!

I missed an entry for yesterday. I had to put Logan down for bed and give Vanessa a shower. Chris ended up working late last night which will equal into a nice paycheck later.

Today was one of those Fridays. The sun was shining, not many students on campus today, and I didn’t want to work. I managed to get a few things done, but it took extra effort. Monday will come and the work will still be there. I have to do testing on Saturday. I hear there will be over 400 middle school students and family on campus for a state or regional history competition. What fun. Wonder if they’ll meander their way to our building during testing.

Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Earth Day to you,
Happy Adminstrative Professional’s Day,
or whatever it is you do.

Today was a good day. A little quirky, but good overall. It rained all morning, but the sun managed to come out in the afternoon. We went out to dinner at Red Robin using our birthday coupons. Apparently, the little boy was being good before I got there. Of course, when I did arrive, he wants my iPod right away. I like free food.

Another beautiful day; another day of sneezing and coughing due to allergies. Still, it is worth it. Today was In-Service Day – a light work day. I am almost dreading tomorrow and the amount of work that has undoubtedly piled up.

BTW, I have been trying to use contractions, but for some bizzare reason, the apostrophe is opening a Quick Find window at the bottom of my screen. This is no doubt annoying. Also, the arrow keys stopped working and is moving the page up and down instead of moving the cursor within the writing area. Another annoyance. Makes me think I should have started with Blogspot instead.
