All's Well

I have been pretty busy these past two days. My uncle's surgery went great. The doctors feel like they got all of the cancer, but will know for sure hopefully tomorrow (I think) when they get test results back. I saw him yesterday and again today and he looked great both times! He was hoping to be moved to a regular room late this afternoon, but I'm not sure if he did.

Well, I'm not full of news today, just thought that I'd post about my uncle. Thanks for the prayers and keep sending them up for him!

Classroom of Fun (yeah right...)

Well, nothing big has been happening around here lately. I worked in my classroom yesterday and today for several hours each day. It's amazing how much stuff there is to do before starting a new school year. I finished up getting my new math stuff filed, but I haven't started putting up the meeting board for it yet. I still have a lot to do, but I'm hoping to get the majority done this week so that I can just chill out Monday and Tuesday, before starting back Wednesday. It's hard to believe that our summer break is already almost over!

My uncle is having surgery in the morning. He was diagnosed with colon cancer a few weeks ago. Please keep him in your prayers!

Good Times

I caught up with an old friend last night. We ate supper and went to a few stores. A funny thing happened at Sam's. My friend, Melinda, was looking at the digital cameras. She took my picture with one, and then looked at the pictures that were stored on the camera's internal memory. As she was flipping through she saw a picture of my brother and my nephew. Crazy!! Also, their picture is the picture right before the one of me. I called my sister-in-law to ask what they were doing playing with cameras in Sam's. She said that my niece was playing with that same camera the night before. I still can't get over it!

Today, I spent several hours in my classroom trying to get things ready for the new school year. Our new math series came in, and it is one that requires A LOT of preparation to have it all set up. I spent about 2 hours on that alone and didn't even get a third finished. I guess I know what I'll be doing next week! Feel free to come help me if you feel the urge!

Oh, and by the way...Lance, go get your own soda and chips! ;) And while you're at it, get me some too!

Wife Swap

Where do they find the lunatics they show on the show Wife Swap? I'm not a huge fan of the show, but every time I watch it I think the people on there must all be paid actors.

Lance, if you read this (which I don't think you do...), if you ever get the idea that you are my master and can demand me to do things, you've got another thing coming! Haha... :)

Hoover, Hair, and Bowling

This has been an exciting week! Tuesday, I went to visit Olivia (& Cooper and Justin) in Hoover and came back Thursday. We had a great time while I was there. :) Wednesday, I bravely got my hair cut by a lady who could hardly speak English. I basically told her that I wanted something different, but not super short. Well, apparently, she thought "I give girl mullet." Well...that's exactly what she did! I didn't mind it so bad after I left there (especially after I "tamed" down my new bouffant). The next day when I washed and styled it myself, I began to realize how much of a mullet it was. She started layers at the top of my head. She did about 5 or so layers, and then just kept the rest of my hair the same. After washing it again this morning, it was AWFUL! I ended up going to someone this morning to "fix" it. She had to clean the layers up and take off a good bit, but I really like it now. And, to top it all off, I finally found a new stylist that I like! So, after an embarrassing 'do, I'm liking the newest one. Another horrible thing...I had to pay out the "wazoo" for the mullet. The cut today was less than half the price!

After getting my hair cut today, I went bowling with Angela, Hannah, & Hunter (and some of their friends). We had a good time. I didn't get any strikes, but I did manage to get several spares. I came in 2nd for the first game and tied for 1st for the second game.

Wall-E and the Fourth

Amy and I went to see Wall-E Thursday. It was a super cute movie, but we both thought it was too long for a kids' movie. I can't imagine any kid being able to sit through the whole thing without getting restless. I'm glad I saw it, but I'm not sure about wanting to see it again.

I hope that everyone had a great fourth of July! Lance and I had a quiet day. We just hung around the house, watching "What Not to Wear" and "King of the Hill" marathons on TV. We also ended up watching a movie later. Lance did get out and cut the grass before it rained, but I did not do anything productive other than cook breakfast and supper.

Tonight we're headed off to my aunt and uncle's house for a cookout. I have been wanting a hamburger, so tonight I'll finally get one! :)

Still Twitching

My arm is STILL TWITCHING! It's about to literally drive me crazy. I go to the doctor tomorrow, so I may say something to him about it. It doesn't twitch as often now, but when it does, it's harder to stop. I can see how someone would absolutely go insane over something like this!
