Yay!!! Break time!!
(16/30)
I am so glad that I’ve got 5 days until I go back to work. 
Unfortunately, my teaching experience has presented me with the truth that, it really is all downhill from here. That doesn’t mean that the year is over, but when you think about it, it makes some sense. Once they come back from Thanksgiving break, it’s only a few weeks until Christmas break… then it’s only a few weeks until the short weeks in January/February… then it’s only a few weeks until Spring Break… then it’s only a few weeks until school is over.
So, in short, wish a teacher you know GOOD LUCK with the rest of the school year.
I’ll leave you with a picture…
Evidence of my sick, sick, poor little sick, tinni…
the hurdle…
(15/30)
well… If you’ve been reading closely, you can probably count at least a half a dozen times that I’ve mentioned, “I didn’t want to work out”, “I REALLY didn’t want to work out”, “I really, really, really didn’t want to work out”…
Well, tonight, I almost didn’t. I mean, I really almost didn’t… I had a bad urge to puke, and I really tried to convince myself that it would be okay to miss just one day. It is after all, just one day! I turned to Daron, hoping he’d say, “aww, darling… you don’t feel well. And it is just one day.”
But that is not my Daron… 
He proceeded (as usual) to tell me exactly what I didn’t want to-but desperately needed to- hear.
That I made a commitment, that I set a goal, and most importantly that I could do it. He explained the difference between saying I’d work out for 30 days straight, and saying I’d work out 30 times in 31 days… My promise to myself has to be paramount. I have to make good on my word.
Instead of spewing some crap about why lowering the bar is better, I get to write about how I jumped my half way through hurdle.
So, I worked out… and not-so-surprisingly, I didn’t puke.
Decorated
(14/30)
I’m all decorated up for christmas! I usually wait until the weekend after thanksgiving, but i just couldn’t wait this year.
I’m a little too tired to write much now, so I won’t.
I will say that my little tinni is sick, so send him some well wishes, okay?
Stories…
(13/30)
I’ll get the boring stuff out of the way. I’ve lost just about 7 lbs. in 13 days. That’s pretty sweet. Today, I really, really didn’t want to workout, but in the end I did. I’m surprised at how hard level 2 is. It makes me realize how EASY level 1 must have been, and also highlights pieces of level 1 that I probably didn’t “give my all” to complete- simply because the move didn’t require me to. So, anyway, workouts are going well.
Now onto my thoughts for tonight.
Stories…
I. Love. Stories.
Not only do I love books, but I love, love, love sagas. Not only book stories though. I also get into TV shows that have big story arcs too. I’m like an old lady watching soap operas… watching/reading my stories. Aside from my random obsession with Days of Our Lives during the summer after 7th grade, and the equally random compulsive watching-of-every-dawson’s-creek-episode shenanigans that happened during my first summer off as a teacher, I can’t say that I like soaps. But I do love a good, long, multi-chaptered, or even better–multi volumed story.
I saw twilight again tonight, and I just loved it. I loved it because I love the story. While I do think that the movie was good, and I probably would have enjoyed it in its own right, I know that a big part of why I love it is because it is a piece of a big picture.
I love when Daron asks me questions about a Harry Potter movie, because there is a tiny plot hole… and I love that it usually ends up taking me 15 minutes to explain that tiny little spot, because these creators have generated such a rich and cohesive world for me to live in for a while…
Stories have become a huge passion of mine in my early 20s and it is one of my greatest sources of peace and relaxation.
Here are some of the stories I currently love:
Books
Harry Potter (Series)
Twilight (Series)
Cirque Du Freak (Series)
Marked (Series)
Dead until Dark (Series)
Television/Film
Harry Potter (Movie Series)
Twilight (Movie)
True Blood (Television Series)
The Big Bang Theory (Television Series)
Star Wars (Movie Series)
The Office (Television Series)
Grey’s Anatomy (Television Series)
Movie Review: Twilight
(12/30)
Well… tonight, I got to see twilight for the first time. (I’m going to see it sometime tomorrow, again.) and I just have to say… that I don’t even remember it… I mean, I was there and I watched it, and I know I enjoyed it, but I was so… distracted by the vivid characters and actions playing out in my head, that filled me with such… SQUEEEEEEE… that I don’t even know- objectively- if I liked it. I think I did… but that could be just because the story is so very special to me. Who knows.
I can say it felt short. and I can’t wait to see it again. Also… Jess is a walking WD apparently… yuck.
(and yes, I’m back-timing it, cause since it is still “night” I’m letting this count for Friday. )
