Trying to update from a mac...

I'm still trying to figure this thing out! But I uploaded my photos to Stan's laptop to try out iphoto. woot! Here are just some pictures just cause I'm not feelin really wordy and articulate for an update. I can't get anything set up right to put labels right next to my pictures. Brief summary, Stan and I rushed the court, that's right we did. Then they cut down the net. Then hopefully this picture shows up at the bottom, but Stan and I celebrated 2 years on Monday! I can't even believe it. He's buys me a Gardenia every year. :) This makes number three. I'll update more when we get back from VACATION!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

What to do what to do...

So I've been really sick all weekend with fever fun and ear infections in both ears and it's been super lame. I thought only little kids got those and that I should be all grown out of those at 22. Of course I thought the same thing about cystic acne and we all know how that's working out. :) It got me out of practicum today, which is my second day off of practicum (in only a month) as a result of sickness and I feel super dumb about it. I just don't want him to think I'm lying to get out of something. Ah well what can you do. I guess I could go and just not hear a word and figure out how to.. well enough of that. Happier rantings:

Spring Break!!!!! WOOOOO!! two more weeks right? We can do it!

I think Stan and I have finally solidified our Spring Break plans for this year. Sadly, it's a week later than usual and does not fall on our anniversary. We thought we'd be so set getting married over spring break! BUT it shall be epic none the less. We thought about doing the most impulsive trip of our lives. I have a cousin that lives in Italy and is only going to be there until May. So we thought, let's go! Free Room! - Only if we could find tickets for $700 or less. The best we could do was $850 which really adds up with two people so we're going to be slightly more responsible...put some money on our car and then... We're going to head down to So Cal and meet some friends right on the beach for a couple nights of camping. After that WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY LAND!



I'm uber excited because I've never been! And after a couple days of magical fun I think we'll hit up Universal Studios. I'll definitely have to loosen up on my tightwad-ness and enjoy the break. El Presidente is helpin us out with a nice tax return so we'll do our part by stimulating the Californian economy. Riiiiight. I hope every one has seen the California commercial with Schwarzenegger. That's what really sealed the deal. You should come along!

Hope everyone has a nice day!

Say WHAT?!

I was just reading my assigned homework reading and thought, how else can I procrastinate this slightly dull rather boring research paper? A blog update. Sadly, friends I'm still with blogger's block and don't know where to start. I thought I'd start off with what I'm trying to read, in an effort to rally some sympathy and support for my efforts. This is a random sample:

"...experimental studies proved that kind of information. More specifically, descriptive analyses may not reveal differences among social contingencies that maintain problem behavior, cannot detect extremely thin schedules of reinforcement and may incorrectly suggest contingent attention as the source of maintenance because attention is a commonly observed consequence for ...." blah blah blah

Now if you're still reading, I'm supposed to understand what that said. Or at least the significance of it. Not a clue. And that's about how these past four weeks of class have felt. "Excuse me, am I in the right class?" "Could you please speak English and not textbook ma'am?" "May I go now?"

I've started at Logan High this week and its absolutely terrifying. I've only been observing for the past two days and will start doing my own lessons next week. My first day when I walked in I almost turned around and walked right out. I'm not really scared of high school kids.. I was just walking through the halls and all of these horrible memories of high school returned. Then I notice that everyone around was taller than me and that I didn't look a day older than they do. How do I command respect from these people? I'm just being dramatic as I usually am on here.. I'm sure it'll all be fine its just the jitters that I'll have for the first few days.

My kindergartners were a hoot today. Apparently it was PJ day and when I got to the school they were all hiding under the table to surprise me. Don't worry after talk of spongebob and dragons we got back on track.

I was a little disappointed in LOST last night. I was promised ANSWERS! And all I got was more questions! And for some reason we had to watch commercials literally every 2 minutes for 2 hours just to find out more questions! So all I learned from it is that if a main character dies they aren't really dead. So don't you worry they'll be back one way or another. Unless the actor decides he wants more money. Then he might really be dead.

That's all I have for today. Back to the reading so I can go to the Aggie game tonight. :) Go Aggies!!!!

Who me? I have a blog?

Happy New Year everyone! It's crazy that its 2010! And make sure you remember that the National-whatever-grammar-people want you to say twenty ten. OR ELSE! I never know how to start these things out... Christmas Break comes to an end tomorrow. Sad day. But the break was great, and my life is slightly more exciting than these pictures would suggest.
Stan and I had a very relaxing Christmas in Oklahoma, where we ate some of the most delicious food and I'm pretty sure we watched every single bowl game that was on. Except for the Ohio State/Oregon game where I couldn't bring myself to cheer for either one of them. So we put in Star Trek :).
We were fortunate enough to get tickets to see the OKC Thunder play the Jazz. Don't get me started on the Jazz this year. They lost to the freaking Thunder by one point. They didn't even show up for the game until the last three minutes. Oh well, the Thunder deserved that win. Stan, my dad and me were the only ones there cheering for the Jazz. We got the strangest looks. This pic below is us at the game but flashes weren't allowed so the color turned out all weird. Yep looks like every other picture of us together. Let's see what else, sadly I have three jobs. Granted two of them are only five hours a week each. My job teaching 4-5 year olds math is teaching me more than them. Turns out 4 and 5 year olds don't want to learn math. Go figure.
Even though I may be folding towels at a different location, I'm still tired of it. And the computer labs are treating me right nice.
Now this next picture is CRAZY. I had a measuring glass spontaneous combust!(OK there weren't really any flames). I was laying in bed about to go to sleep, when I heard something crash. We both ran downstairs to see who was breaking into our house to discover nothing. I later found this just to reveal my messy cupboard. Exciting stuff I know. I just thought it was weird that it broke on it's own...
Good luck to everyone who starts school tomorrow! And to those who don't, have a Happy January 11th!

Football season

So I'm doing this post from a mac, and I don't care what you people say it's driving me nuts. Pandora FREAKED OUT and of course I blame the little apple on this here screen.
Saturday, Stan and I went to the Aggie football game and believe or not, I dragged Stan there! I think I've finally fallen off of my rocker. It was 28 degrees and snowing! And yes, here I am admitting it, our football team could be better. It was fun and I needed the fun after completely failing my PRAXIS test so I will never get certified, never be able to student teach, never be able to graduate and go bankrupt because the stupid test took all of my money and I can't get a good job because everyone will know how I failed the PRAXIS. :) I'm not trying to be dramatic.
The picture above doesn't quite illustrate the intensity of the snow. The one below does however illustrate just how cold I was.
This is us happy that football season is ALMOST over because I just can't take the heartbreak anymore.

37 days until Christmas....

A Blog about a Frog

This is our pet guard frog Chainsaw. I figured I should do a post about him in case he dies soon. I know that's morbid but I can't even keep plants alive. And he's almost three months old! Happy almost month birthday Chainsaw!

Other pictures include the Orchids Stan got me just because. He's so sweet! We had a fun little date night.

I love this picture of Janet and I on her wedding ..almost four months ago...
This one is fun too. And the winner, for most random post goes to........

Chelsey!!!!!

I'm not cute, Good thing the cutest blog on the block is.

Anyone know how to make that giant picture at the top smaller? It freaks me right out whenever I go to my page! Yikes there's my face!

So, I'm sitting here arguing with my husband over texts about how I should go about learning Spanish. He's suggesting this long list of people that I could learn from, all RMs mind you. And in my experience and even from what he's told me, RMs just don't like teaching people. I took a class, 1010, which was SUPER easy and I just retained any extra verbos o palabras for the test and then it was gone because I was so worried about my other classes. This Special Ed stuff is just not tickling my fancy, which I knew it wouldn't. I LOVE the kids just not the methods that I'm supposed to use to teach them. I have to stick it out until I can get to the good Teach English as a Second Language fun. I've studied facebook and netflix more than my actual classes. That's bad news. At least the blog is getting more attention. (c'mon, you knew school whining had to come up).

In other news, Aggies lost last night. Sad day. Stan got to go to the game which I was SO jealous. Maybe I'll get some of those pics from him and put some on here to spice things up. This picture is from our fourth of July. I took it secretly with my crappy phone camera. We went mullet counting at a demo derby in Ogden. Yes, that is a dude with long shiny hair. Business in the front, party in the back my friends.


I leave you with an Arrested Development Quote:
Lindsay: We are not the only ones who kill trees. What about beavers? You call yourself an acitivist? Why don't you go out and club some beavers?

yeah, I'm procrastinating.

over and out.
