Weekend: July 12, 2009 - Welcome Back 12 of 12
I'm back and now with more 12 of 12s than ever!
8:10am: I had to retake this shot at 8:10 because I forgot it was a 12 of 12 until I sat down at my computer. This getting up early thing gives you like four extra hours in a day. Score!
9:00m: Making my weekly lesson plans after a delicious Starbucks run. Little did I know that my brilliant Monday plan would be destroyed when only two students showed up. Not coincidentally, it was the two who least-needed the work on today's material.
12:00pm: There were a meeting of the Hot Girl Alliance-Lowell Chapter at Panera. Both members showed up.
12:30pm: My bedroom "before" I unpacked my stuff and rearranged it.
1:30pm: "After"
2pm: Chompy at Tyler Park. There's a big sign that says NO DOGS but whatever. Chompy isn't a dog--she's an ass-kicking on four legs.
3pm: Chris and I drove up to Nashua so he could get the new iPhone and I could buy more random crap. This braced-umpire was on a fence outside the sporting goods store. I just liked that he had braces on.
3:30pm: Chris trading in his Pre to join the iPhone community. Welcome aboard!
4:00pm: All my trips to Best Buy are unsuccessful. I did get a TV for my bedroom but they had to order it. I managed to get a $200 coupon from Comcast so I somehow made money by going to Best Buy. Score.
7:30pm: Taking a break from work to check my fantasy stats. I was playing Steve this week and avenged my previous loss with a whomping. I've moved from last place into 3rd. Boom.
9:00pm: On my way to Chris' house to watch the Cubbies lose to the Cardinals. At least we got to see Sean Marshall play left field.
10:00pm: We weren't really watching the game so much as playing on our iPhones. There's Oreo with her head on my lap. She was so happy to see me she peed a little bit. I wish my students got that excited.
BONUS: I took this morning since I went to bed so early last night. See how nicely I clean up?
Good Things Take Time...
2 days until FSU Football (2010)
Random Picture... Part of our drive back to Tallahassee through the mountains.

· 09-02-200609-02-2009: I think I have the swine flu. I think I caught it during the Counting Crows concert then brought it back. I took the liberty of passing it along to 100+ college students in the hopes of teaching them a valuable history lesson about settlers and smallpox blankets (right Steve?) I actually do feel a little bit better today but I've also slept away the gross majority of the past three days. Tomorrow I have to go back to school and I can't call in sick so by 10am I'll know how bad I have it depending on how many students I inadvertently killed on Wednesday.
Football starts tonight. Thank God. Too bad I'll be asleep and have to miss the first two games. On Monday Tim and Chris are going to come over to watch FSU whomp Miami. Back to bed.09-02-2008: Ok, seriously, we're playing MarioKart tonight at 8pm. SERIOUSLY.
I got sick last night around 10pm for no reason. Just a regular cold but it came out of nowhere and by the time I woke around 2:30pm this afternoon it had almost totally gone away. Weird. I ordered ESPN GamePlan yesterday so now I can watch up to six college football games at once. This is grossly unnecessary but really, few things in life are really all that necessary. The Cubs can't clinch a playoff spot fast enough--my big TV awaits!
I also picked up Ab last night and she and Chompy covered my bed in dirt after running around in the clay before coming in. Speaking of clay, I read that some people crave eating clay while pregnant. Weirdy. Since I'm phoning in today's entry, here's a video that's worth the watch (with FSU alum Richard Simmons no less).
I took the day off blogging but only because I was thinking of you.09-02-2006: After laboring in coal-mine like conditions for the past 11 months I was pleased to get Labor Day off. Over the weekend the only major
thing I "accomplished" was buying a new TV for my office. I got it at Home Depot of all places but I wanted a 15" LCD and didn't want to spend $350 at Best Buy for a crap-brand when I could spend $250 at Home Depot for a Magnavox. The TV it replaced did not change channels or allow you to adjust the volume more than once a week. Usually each Sunday I'd decide what channel and volume to watch for the week and then hate my decision to choose Lifetime (hey, Fraiser was on) on near-mute. The new TV is nice and it looks good next to my two flat-screen monitors. Booyah.
