Again, not that exciting of a day.  Got up and came to CU (nothing
unusual there!).  Had my 9:00 class, then I had a meeting at
10:00.  The meeting got done early, and I’ve been working in my
office.  I have to give a test at noon, so I updated the test and
made copies.  Of course, I’m almost done with my to-do list, so
now I guess I just get to dork around until noon! See…it’s been
thrilling!

However, the more exciting news is that this is my last day of class
until next Wednesday.  And then we only have 2 weeks until
finals!  My last day of class is May 1, and I am VERY glad about
that.  The bad news is that Eric is leaving on May 1 for a
business trip, so I’ll be lonely all week, but oh well.  I guess I
can get my grading done early that way!

Tonight is the usual: a quick supper before heading to the church for
our drama rehearsals.  Sorry, I don’t have much more exciting to
say!

So it’s 10:20, and I haven’t done that much yet today.  It’s kind of nice not to have a lot of items on my to-do list!

Yesterday was vaguely uneventful.  I finished classes and came home, but I got here before Eric.  So I read a book until he got home.  Then we went roller blading.  Boy are my legs mad at me today (between blading and lifting weights, I think I worked some muscles I haven’t used in a while!).  Then dinner and more reading, then bed.  Nothing too exciting really.

Today, I may run some errands, maybe go up to the mall.  It’s so nice outside, though, I’m not sure I want to be inside for too much of the afternoon!

So I’m almost done lecturing in Comp.  After today, we’ll have
workshops and work days to give them time to do their papers.  I
find that a better use of their time then my trying to “teach” them
something at this point in the term.  Now I just want them to
apply what they know!

The weekend was very busy, but it was fun, overall.  I had lots of
girl time, but it was nice to see Eric again for a bit on Sunday
afternoon!  He had been “computering” while I was at the shower,
so he had a fun new thing to show me.  I think he’s figured out
how to host a website, so we may actually start using that for things
like small group information and pictures and such.  When/If it
gets up and running, I’ll let you all know!

I’m so glad it’s going to be BEAUTIFUL all week.  I think Karen’s
going to enjoy the weather on Spring Break!  Eric and I are going
to go do something tonight, but I don’t know what yet. I just enjoy
being outside when it’s so nice again! 

Okay, I don’t really have much to say since I saw you all yesterday.  Later!

I got most of my first class graded in two hours yesterday!  My
method worked like a charm.  In the evening, I finished that class
and started the second, but now I have to finish grading that
class.  However, I am not too worried because my system worked so
well yesterday!

So overall, I had a very productive day.  After lunch, I went to
the bank, bought coffee grounds at Tim Hortons (Eric likes it best),
then ran to Sam’s Club briefly.  When I was done, I went and got
my hair cut.  SO CUTE!  Both my hair and I are very happy
with it.  The whole thing took a long time, but I wasn’t it that
big of a hurry, so it was fine. 

THEN, I ran to WalMart.  I got groceries and household
supplies.  And it wasn’t even too expensive!  Unfortunately,
the store did not have the type of pasta I needed for dinner last
night, so I also had to make a quick run to Meijers (which is right
across the street).  I got that, some snacks for the girls’ night
I’m hosting on Saturday night, and a new travel mug for Eric (his is
broken).  Then I went home.  Eric got home right after me,
and wanted to go for a walk, so we drove to a metro park near us to see
the expansion.  We didn’t walk very far, but that was fine with
me. 

Then I made supper, cleaned the kitchen, made brownies, finished
putting away the groceries, relaxed for a bit and graded for an hour or
so.  Then I went to bed…and could NOT fall asleep.  Maybe I
was too wired from my productive day.  Oh well!

That pretty much sums up my day!

I have to do a lot of reading papers today, and I need to run errands, primarily to the grocery store and Sam’s.  Last night, I didn’t feel like grading, so I did all the other tasks that I usually do on Tuesdays, so I had no excuse to avoid the papers in my bag!

Right now it’s very sunny out (the sun is shining in my eyes as I type), but I guess it’s supposed to cloud over again in the afternoon.  I love the gradual getting warmer of Spring, but I can’t help but wish it could just be sunny continuously for months.  Oh well…

Okay…I guess that’s all the exciting stuff I have for right now!

Okay…I have enough time to post now, so here I am.  My Friday
was not a great day, and it was very rushed, so I didn’t have time to
post until after I figured you all had stopped reading for the
day.  But now I’m posting again…

The weekend was quite busy.  Eric and I hung out on Friday
night.  We ate supper on the couch and watched TV.  I got to
watch the Crocodile Hunter at 6:00 and then he took over for the rest
of the night.  I read a book while some of the shows were on. We
were both really tired, though, so we went to bed at 10:00 or so…

Saturday, I cleaned out my refrigerator and then cleaned my counters
(which were messy from cleaning out the fridge!).  Then I ran to
the grocery to get some fresh food (praise Jesus April has arrived) as
well as pick up the cake for the baby shower we went to.  I spent
the afternoon at the baby shower (12:45-4:00ish) helping serve food and
run gifts.  Jen got lots of cute stuff, but it was a long
afternoon!

Saturday night, we watched a movie that had arrived from Netflicks (a
Jackie Chan movie) and ate supper on the couch again.  We started
our evening early so we could get to be earlier, but still didn’t
actually go to sleep until our normal time…after turning the clocks
forward, of course.

Sunday was church.  Then I had a meeting during the second
service, so I didn’t get home until 1:15.  We had lunch, then I
relaxed with the paper just a bit.  Then I made sugar cookies,
mixed up a cheese ball for small group, made granola, iced the sugar
cookies and ran two full dishwasher loads before we left for small
group.  We ran a bit late, too, so we got to bed pretty
late.  Eric hadn’t really felt that great all day, but I think he
was just tired. 

And now it’s Monday…so far it’s been fine, but it definitely is going
to rain hard in a short while.  Oh well…at least it’s warm!
