22 @ MindSay

Today I woke up to do some work, because my progress reports are due on Monday.  I only have 2 to write, but A's took me SIX PAGES, SIZE 10 FONT to accurately complete.  And it would have been longer if 3 of his goals weren't things I had to write, "This goal is not currently being addressed as part of our curriculum, but will be by next semester".  If I had to fill those in, It would probably be 8 pages.

Today is all about writing E's, who has less goals than A, but his are quite involved and I need a lot of specific examples.  But that's not why I am writing here today.

/End boring teacher talk.

I woke up to do work, and had to promise myself chocolate to get out of bed.  Not because I'm tired.  Because I feel like I'm living in an icebox.  I finally got up, wrapped myself in the blanket, and walked across the house to crank the heat on to just below 70, and then crawled back into bed for 20 minutes until the heater pretended to work.

Currently wearing:  2 shirts, and 2 sweatshirts, 3 pairs of socks, and a smaller blanket.

I should have known I was in for a boatload of trouble living up here when I woke up to teach my first day of school IN AUGUST and was greeted by 47-degree weather.  And it's going to get colder.  It sounds incredibly melodramatic, but...living up here might actually kill me.  I wear pants and sweatshirts in 90-degree weather.  Today is a high of 22, with strong winds.  It's not even 'winter' yet.

Anyone have extra thermals they wanna loan me?

My name is Tracy Stephenson. I live in Macon, Missouri looking for a single guy to date.

As of right now, the Houston Rockets now #1 in the Western Conference!

On top of that, the Houston Rockets are in their 22nd Winning Streak after defeating the Los Angeles Lakers, who "was" #1 in the Western Conference. 

They currently rank at #2 for the longest winning streak record in NBA History!



I've been meaning to blog about the Rockets, but I was too afraid to jinx them...

It's my birthday today (for 12 more minutes... probably won't be by the time this actually posts).  22 years old today.  Pretty crazy.  I didn't really celebrate today, per se.  I went to The Olive Garden in Zanesville last night with my family, so that was cool.  I worked this morning (obviously), came home and took my usual nap this afternoon, but had to abbreviate it because I went down to the Presbyterian church in Cedarville tonight.  This was the second time I've gone down to their monthly contemporary worship... it's still a pretty brand new ministry, but I really enjoy it.  Tonight I played a little percussion, which was a lot of fun... they usually just have a guy who sings and plays guitar.  It's a small group, but very Spirit-filled.  The drive is about an hour, and there's an A&W right at the exit, so I got a root beer float for the drive back to Columbus.  All in all, not a bad way to spend a birthday.

And now, to close... something absolutely hilarious that I saw today:

And today i said to her , u know if someone were to ask me right now if i were happy i'd say no, but if i were with u and someone were to ask me the same question i'd say, "No im not happy, not yet, but im not unhappy about it" ...and after 10 minutes of explaining it to her she blushed, and i feel better already.
