Memorial Day

Thank goodness for the weekend. Let's see if I can think of what's happened the last week or so.

We've been busy. Yup, that about sums it up.

So Sean painted Lexi's room this weekend. It's a light green, and I like it. I would post a picture, but my camara has no batteries. Gotta buy some. Then I'll put up some pics.

We went out to Bountiful today and put flowers on dad's grave. It was nice to go out and see mom and Katie.

We took the kids to dinner and it was like $60 and you know how it's not all that enjoyable juggling the 2 little folks and the place we went was like 90 decibals of clattering plates and loud children... I was like... seriously... for $60 we could have gone to Wendover and got a room *and dinner. And if I played my cards right (ha ha I'm so funny!) I could have probably got breakfast comp'd. Just think... right now I could be sitting in the casino lounge with a giant margarita listening to whatever mediocre lounge band is singing and watching drunk people dance. Hmph.

So update on the eye... It went totally scary colors. And people kept saying, "Oh, wait, is something wrong with your eye? I thought it was just your makeup at first." OK, I totally want to know on what planet I wear plum, rust, and lime green makeup? At the same time? I hardly wear makeup at all, let alone those colors all together. So people probably went around thinking I was some sort of fashion tragedy all week. Which, I sort of am, so whatever.

So here's a sad story for you. One of my students from last year asked me if I'm pregnant again. Yep. I was waiting for that. I think it was partly to do with I was carrying this big load of binders and trying to balance them, so I was standing kinda funny, and what I was wearing, and then the fact that I still have 5 baby pounds to lose, all in my stomach, and then I have about an additional 10 on top of that to lose. Blarg. I did the elliptical 3 times this week, but some days I'm just too busy. I have this way cool friend who is totally in shape, with really great muscles, and she loves to run and swim and bike and hike. She isn't married and has no kids. So we'll have these conversations where I'm all... I really need to exercise, and she says... just do it after school. Or before school. You just need to decide you're going to do it. Yes... but... no. Some days it really is impossible to fit in, and it's not an excuse. I feel better and eat better when I've exercised, especially when I do it right after work. I get this burst of energy and it keeps me from eating a ton of junk in the afternoon/evening.

Well, that's it for now. I'll be back with a few pics and whatnot before too long.
