Sometimes you just have to blog...


We are in Pac-Man right now.  This means I have five students in my Health classroom working on makeup work.  Pac-Man is the new name for OPAC.  OPAC stood for Operation Pass All Classes.  Pac-Man is not the video game but stands for Pass All Classes, MAN!  Silly huh?  But really this new program at our school has helped many of our students get their grades up.  Hopefully, we will see some improvement in our graduation rate as well.

Last night, I did some cleaning and got my laundry done.  I am trying to make my weekend a little less stressful, seeing I have to be ready to head to Wisconsin on Monday. I also have to get some sewing done so I will be a little sewing girl the next few days.  

It is snowing a lot today.  Man, when winter decides to show her pretty little face, she really gets it out there.  I am hoping that it will NOT be snowing on Monday when I head home.  I hate the whole delay stuff.  It does not make me a happy camper.

I really do not have a whole lot to say.  I am excited that today is the last day of real classes and tomorrow is a half day and then I get a two week vacation.  What do I plan to do with my time, you ask?  Well, I really want to spend a lot of time in front of the TV watching movies.  I like to do that.  I would also like to read a book that is always fun.  What else?  Hmmm.  I really haven't gotten that far.  I really do like spending time with my family.  They are cool cats.  I will also love getting to see my little grandma.  She is so cute and funny.  And seeing my favorite aunts and uncles is always good.  (see how I was sly to not say aunt and uncle...you gotta keep your favorites to yourself sometimes.)  

I also have plans to get together with a few of my friends in Wausau.  I have awesome friends all over the globe really.  Okay, so I don't know anybody overseas right now but coming in January I will know somebody in Denmark.  And next summer, I will know somebody living in England.  

I am just rambling.  Do you like these kinds of posts?  

I actually am enjoying the snow lately.  Part of this has to do with the fact that it is still a new thing for me right now.  Usually, by January, I am sick of snow.  I am going to try to be better about not being a hater of snow this year.  Wearing my wonderful pink jacket helps me to feel the love for cold and winter.  I will just have to start wearing it around the clock to have the love.  

I do not love how people drive in the snow, especially the first few snowstorms.  They are dumb...'nough said.

So, what are you getting me for Christmas?  I really would like a Wii.  I played Guitar Hero this morning and got the Wii itch back.  I would also like world peace but really I don't think that will happen for a long time.  Not until the guy we celebrate Christmas for come back at least.  Don't forget about Christ this Christmas.  Unless you are Jewish, then just ignore everything I just said.  I kinda felt like that was sacrilege there.  Really, I love Christmas for the reminder it gives me to be a little more Christlike.  I sometimes struggle with being nice to people.  Especially those that I find to have less of an IQ than I have.  Like those idiot drivers and my silly neighbors who still throw trash onto the law hoping the garbage fairy will come and take it to the dumpster.  Maybe I just need to carry a handful of candy around to throw at people.  Maybe that is not a good idea because even a nice gesture like candy can be ruined if you totally hit the person in the head hard!  I know that with drivers and neighbors that is exactly what would happen.  Then I would start buying bigger and heavier candy and would probably then be in the Utah County Jail instead of Rhinelander, Wisconsin for the holidays and I really don't want that.  

I would also accept any kind of iTunes gift cards.  I am addicted that that little iPod.  His name is Iggy and he pretty much is my husband.  Okay, so not really because that is sick and wrong but really I love him.  If he were a man I totally would marry him.  Don't tell my bike though, he will be jealous.

Really, you don't have to buy me a present.  Your presence is present enough for me.  Hopefully, I will get to see you this holiday season. If not, I really hope it is good for you.  I am hoping you also get to be surrounded by loved ones because that is really what the season is for.  I feel bad for people who are far from their families and don't get to celebrate properly.  I really am a blessed person and don't need anything.  Really, I have so much.  A good job, a warm(well at least everywhere but my room) place to sleep, enough food to eat(actually too much food), a car to get me places, great and I mean amazingly great friends, an education, mad driving skills, a testimony of my Savior(which is the most important thing and which brings me so many of the things that I am blessed with), a calmness(see previous), and many many many many many more blessings.  

So, instead of focusing on the things you want and lack this Christmas, reflect on the things that you do have and how blessed you are.  

Well, gotta head to teach.  I am not editing this right now so excuse any of the mistakes.  Later!
