Forever Ago

So, it seems like forever since my last post. I got sick and missed 4 days of school...ugh, then it was spring break. So, it has been like 20 days since my last post.

So, the house I was interested in buying sold. That is way sad for me, but it was probably a good thing. I need to save a little more money for a down payment. My friends, the Walners have invited me to move in with them so that I can save some money. I am seriously thinking about this because I could do that for the next few months and save some more money. They have offered me a room on the second floor of their house. I really don't want to do this, but I think it would be a good thing for me.
Easter was good. Beth did such a great job of decorating her house...it was very cute. She had coordinating plates, ramekins, cups and other decor. She also made a great ham and some really cute desserts.
This week I have so much to get done. I have to finish my statics project, I need to start on two theory papers and write a response to all my readings...ugh!! Plus, I have to get my students ready for student-led conferences next week. Right now is crunch time for me.
Kickboxing is going great. I go every night now. Monday and Wednesday the workout is oriented around strength and core training. Tuesday and Thursdays are foucsed on cardio. I really enjoy getting to hit, kick, slap and punch!!
Have a great Wednesday!!

Snow!!

So, I wake up this morning, look out the window and what do I see....snow everywhere!! It is so pretty! Made me want to crawl right back in bed and go to sleep, but I didn't. I have only missed one day of school this year...pretty good, I think.
I don't have a lot of excitement in my life right now, mostly just school and work and house hunting. Although I do still love the one I found, I am just waiting to hear from the bank. When that happens, I will be trying to buy it.
Well, I kind of fell off the South Beach wagon, so today I have jumped back on and am starting back with phase one. This weekend was really bad for me food wise. Friday night, we went out to eat, Saturday's lunch at the conference was pretty crappy and very carbohydratey and then Saturday night at Trenda's I ate wonderful and delicious food that was also not South Beach friendly. It is so easy to eat those foods. So, today for breakfast I ate a spinach and egg white omlette. Lunch will be some krab and greenbeans.
Have a great snowy day!!

Long Weekend

So, Friday I went to OKC to present at ORA's (Oklahoma Reading Association) annual conference. This was my first time presenting at a formal conference. I think it went very well. Next time, I might even be brave enough to present with just one or two other presenters. 7 presenters in one hour was just a little too much. The conference was good and I really enjoyed the guest speaker at lunch even though the lunch was hideous. It was some kind of shells stuffed with something...not sure what.
After the conference I headed to Matt and Trenda's. I stayed the night with them and we visited and caught up. It was so much fun. I really miss getting to see them. It makes me want to move back to the city area. We made some really yummy food! Mexican casserole, bean dip and the yummy sausage dip. So delicious, so not south beach. That's ok...it is a new week. And tonight is kickboxing and that will definitely burn off those extra calories.
I am really trying to get back into my workouts like I used to. I used to weight train and the whole bit. It is amazing how getting off schedule just a little can affect a schedule.
Happy Monday!! Wish it was June and I was in Florida!!
