haven't posted in forever..here's the update

update! this is what's been happening in my life: i saw wicked with jilly and even though our seats were kinda far back, it was still amazingly awesome, jilly moved in with me (if you didn't know), so now i have a sister-roomie which is pretty cool :-) we are having a halloween party which will be the official grand opening of the fire pit. the fire pit is great. we have already used it a number of times and the s'mores have always been top notch. i'm completely loving my transition to middle school. the kids are super-independent and a little ornery. i love the schedule and the people i work with...i love being able to focus on one subject and put all my time and effort into that rather than having to teach a ton of different things and never have time to do any of it as well as i'd like. i'm still swimming and biking and running. i'm really enjoying mixing up the workouts, and i have a bunch of races coming up later this fall! guess that's it for now!

not listening

we got new laptops at work, and instead of listening to the guy tell us how to run it, i'm working on my blog! i think that i can figure out how to run it on my own; right now i'd rather play! woooooo!

obsolete


facebook is making my blog nearly obsolete because it's faster and more accessible than the blog. ..i still like to blog, but facebook is great!

mix tape

it's funny how life resembles a mix tape (or CD or playlist). it can go from mellow, to hard core, to punkish in a matter of minutes. the highs and lows all work together to make one complete little package. finishing my triathlon, thinking about going back to school, my mom and sister visiting, my mom and sister having to leave, getting a new car, paying for the new car...it's good with bad, happy with sad...a mix tape.
