Fall Intersession :)

I have fourteen days off, that's two weeks. Yay! I think I'd be a little more excited if I wasn't sick. Seriously, I have the nastiest cold I've had in a long time. Boo! Anyways, you all know I lead an exciting life, so I thought I'd share my goals/plans for this break. Here goes:

1.) Read 8 books. Doable, right? That's less than one a day a piece. I actually have a bet going with Abbey that I can finish a series of 14 before her. I'm on 7 and she's on 11. Looks like I need to start focusing (in all fairness, she did just have a week off which is why she is ahead of me to start with).

2.) Survive Las Vegas. Also, doable. I just have to heal first.

3.) Learn my new Group Active choreography.

That's kind of it. Don't be jealous.

I haven't been lazy

I've been without the internet. Lame, huh? Here goes Holly and mom:

3 joys, 3 fears, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 surprising facts, and 5 people to tagg, leave a comment for the 5 so they know thay have been tagged.

Happy Birthday Audrey! Yee haw!

It's Aud's birthday! I absolutely love this girl for many reasons I won't begin to place on my blog. I will say that everyone should be so lucky as to have an Audrey in their life.

Lisa and I were kind enough to ambush dear Audrey at Texas Roadhouse last Monday night (6 days before her birthday, she never saw it coming). She was a tremendous sport and hopped on the saddle. I love you Audrey!

Yeah, Katie's life? Not so interesting.

I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but I promise there is nothing interesting going on. Honest and truly. So, I've decided that in order to appease my fans (ha ha ha, fans...) I'm going to do a completely random post (as random is what I do best, heheheh).

So I have a total crush on an AFL player (Arena Football Leage). I'm not going to mention his name or what team he plays on (if you talk much to me during the season you know the answer to both of these questions) as I know his sister-in-law has a blog, and if I can find her than she can find me. Anyways, he's phenomenally hot; like, really, really, ridiculously good looking. My baby sister has mad hook-ups at United Airways Arena and got tickets to an AFL game this summer (box tickets, which are totally overrated, by-the-way), so we grabbed some friends and went. If you've never been to an AFL game you are seriously missing out, the weirdos come out of the woodwork for these. Case-in-point:

You can't see it well, it's a shame I have a crappy camera phone, but this man is wearing a popcorn bucket as a hat, for the entire game. $20 on popcorn is just too much, but if I use the bucket as a hat...

Random picture number two, guess who?

Yeah, that's Brian Urlacher. As in linebacker for the Chicago Bears, number 54. I don't feel right saying how I know him, but after seeing him numerous times over the last few years, I finally asked for a picture. Here's how our conversation went:
Me: Would you mind taking a picture with me?
54: No problem
Me: My sister and stepdad are such big fans.
54: You're not a fan?
Me: Uh, well, uh, well (face turning red), yeah, of course.
I have decided after examining this picture that I need to find myself a linebacker to marry. Do you see how little I look standing next to him? I was 10-15 pounds heavier then than I am now, too. He's massive.

Coming soon:
Parent-Teacher, probably have some bloggable moments
Utah visit, oh yeah, I'll have some stories
Vegas, well, maybe I won't talk about that too much. What happens in Vegas...

My favorite Cousin-In-Law!

(sorry all you other cousins-in-law)

So have I mentioned that I love Brigitte? I swear I've never met her but I feel we have a bond (call it witty posts or whatever). Know how my awesome friend Brigitte propelled her way to the top? She sent me Box Tops, isn't that sweet?!

(in case you forgot what they look like, and I realize this one is expired, please don't send expired ones)

Jayson, you done good!

Yes I can be bought. :) Love you all!

And I hope they never find me...

I do not post this to brag or be boastful, but maybe it will inspire someone who reads this (and remind me when times get tough that I can do it):

Just 30 more to go...

The best picture of all!

I'm sorry mom, this picture belongs in my classroom picture post and I forgot to take it! Look how talented my mom is! She drew the "cowkids" and I think they are great!

I know I need to write and tell everyone how fabulous kindergarten is this year, but I just don't have the energy. Here is the year summed up: I am extremely blessed. My class is great! (knock on wood)
