I'm a Terrible Liar

This is my conclusion upon realizing my last post was PRE-Eclipse with the promise to give an update the following day... which clearly I didn't do. HAHA I've seen it again since then, also... on the IMAX screen... 72 Feet of Edward-yumminess! It was fantastic... and the fighting/sparring scenes were FANTABULOUS!!!

In other news I've begun getting things ready for the school year...! I am going to start making some lanyards for a couple people at work ;) Also, I still have not completely decided on what to do with the whole curtain thing in my classroom... I think I may just BUY curtains... I don't think I have enough fabric left for curtains... I'll use that fabric for something else... not sure yet... but something. I also need to purchase a couple twin size sheets in fun colors (should be easy with all the dorm/college stuff out now) for bulletin boards! And I plan on getting myself to Lakeshore at some point too... Walmart will be my friend soon... I'm going to get some extra supplies for class and I'm making M.O.N.K.E.Y. books for each of my students as a take-home folder system. I really want to splurge and get a box system so that each of my students has a box to pick up their handouts from like HW and school papers, etc. SOOOO many ideas.

Also, my birthday is in a couple weeks... :) I'll be 29 on the 29th. Exciting... AND, for my birthday my parents got me the best present ever... I had been looking to buy a new bicycle and found one... I was going to pay for it myself, but my mom said they wanted to do that for my birthday. No cost to me... and I'm so excited to get out there and ride around! :)

Feeling a little... exhilarated!

I went to see the Twilight movie today after I got home and rested a bit... I went by myself because no one wanted to go with... and I HAD to see the movie! ;)

I feel a little odd being magnetically attracted to a book/movie character that's "17" even if he HAS been that age for "awhile." I'm going to start reading the next book in the series... it's SO exciting!

I leave you with the trailer... (hopefully this works!)

So...

I'm a 'tard and I forgot my camera yesterday for the rodeo fun. Fortunately Daughn and Damian brought theirs... so, once I get pics from her transported on my handy-dandy flash drive and to my computer, then I shall post up some pictures from the day. Truthfully we only took a couple pictures... but there are some fun ones of Dustin (their 2 year old... well, 3 in about a month) riding various carnival rides that are quite entertaining... and we did get a few of Craig Morgan performing. He put on a REALLY good show... and then we went and walked around a bit more on the grounds.

After the rodeo we headed out (it took us awhile to get outta that place... JEEZ San Antonio... you have this thing every year and have for 59 years! You think you'd have a handle on the parking situation by now!) and when we got back to the house, Daughn and Damian had asked if I wanted to go grab a bite and see Juno. Of course I said yes! We went to TX Roadhouse.... I had already decided I was going to count yesterday as a "holiday" on my WW Points... because I knew there was little chance I'd find anything to eat out at the rodeo that wasn't bad... although, I did quite well... my splurge was a few bites of funnel cake. Anyhow, I got that country fried chicken at TX Roadhouse... and JEEZ... I think I only ate like 3 or 4 bites because I got SO FULL on bread and salad before my meal came! I sent all my leftovers home with D&D because I knew there was NO WAY I could eat those leftovers once I was back on today anyway... ;) I've done very well... I've almost lost 10 pounds in about a month.... and the fact that I could hardly eat more than a salad and some bread at one sitting was proof to me that I have truly begun making a life style change. I've totally changed the amount of food I need to feel full for a meal because I eat smaller meals and more often throughout the day rather than putting a pile of food in my stomach at one time.

Anyhow, Juno was such a good movie! I was really happy I got to see it while it's still in theaters... sometimes I keep saying I'm going to see something and never actually make time to do so... and then I miss it and have to wait for the DVD. Speaking of DVDs... Across the Universe came out on Tuesday (Feb 5) and I need to go buy it today... perhaps I'll swing by Circuit City after I run into Petsmart... I need to get more cat food... and I want to try some of that "Boundary" spray to keep Mozart (my cat) from scratching on the furniture. I really think she's been doing so more here at my parents' because their cat is also marking the furniture. It's an outright war between the 2 of them of marking their areas back and forth! lol

Anyhow, this is all the update I have in me for now... come back again and perhaps I'll have something else for you...
