Saturday Night Live and Peyton Manning

So I watched SNL last night because my mom sent me an article talking about how Peyton Manning was going to be the host. First off, SNL sucks now. Just really not that funny. I like Peyton Manning though. I thought the funniest skit was when it was a NCAA tourney bracket filler outters winners and it was him (acting as a reporter), a host, and a girl who also had a high performing bracket. It was funny and the funniest part was when they started talking about how one of the good teams who lost pulled a "Peyton Manning." Its good to see celebrity people being able to make fun of themselves. Another weird thing, he introduced his family during the opening monologue but didn't introduce his brother Cooper, who doesn't play football due to an earlier injury. So I assumed Cooper wasn't there, but at the end Cooper and Eli pushed out a bday cake for Peyton. Kinda weird they left him out. In the Manning family, as you get worse as football you get cuter. Peyton is the best and not so good looking, Eli is not as good as Peyton as football but better looking, and then you have Cooper who doesn't play football anymore but is the cutest of all. Just something you learn growing up in NOLA and growing up always knowing who the Mannings are.

Spring Break

So I am on spring break. I am still in my apartment but at least I will be off of school next week which is really cool. Last night on whim I decided to dye my hair an auburn color. It is cool. Just trying to get used to it. Had drinks with friends last night and had a good time. This morning, I went to the gym and took a class. Now I am getting ready to go into Orlando to go eat good sushi and watch a hibachi show. Hopefully it will be fun. We shall see.

Blah

I am feeling so incredibly blah right now. I am not exactly sure why I am feeling this way. The professional development today and yesterday was extremely informative and I feel like I can definitely get on board with it. BUT, and I don't mean to sound lazy, but it is such a massive undertaking. It scares me. I am just not sure and am feeling a little freaked out by it all. I also am about to be on spring break but all of my friends are taking off somewhere rather it be for work or just vacay. I would have liked to go home but I am here dealing with dentist appointments, eye doctor appointments, etc. It is kinda scary being an adult esp. so far from your support system. I just am confused right now and am not sure where I am going ... not even really where I have been exactly so its all a little overwhelming. Work tomorrow so I need to stop obssessing and go to bed.

Friendships Lost

I think one of the hardest things about growing up (yes I still consider myself to be growing up) is friendships lost. Sometimes without even having the knowledge of why they ended. I am kinda sick of this happening to me. I realize a lot of times it is my own damn fault but I feel like if people really cared about me they would make me see what I was doing wrong that made them want to end the friendship and then I could work to correct it. If it wasn't something I could control or didn't choose to change then the friendship would be over. I miss friendships that I have lost. I truely cared about these people but was acting strange when these friendships ended and that ended them for good. Sometimes I wish these people would just reach out to me and talk to me. Oh well ... you live you learn.

Tired

Yes I am tired. I didn't even have to see my kids today and am exhausted. I stayed up later than normal last night just watching tv and then today was in an inservice which can be more draining then dealing with kids. Good ideas just draining. Tomorrow I will be in the same inservice. Then Friday and next week spring break which for me means not a whole lot. Just hanging around and relaxing no drinking and partying it up. Feeling a lot like Chris does here.

Still highly motivated about the gym. Went Sunday to a class, Monday to a class, Tuesday we walked, and I just got home from a class today. Hopefully I will build some muscle and the muscle can then in turn eat my fat. I think I am going to go watch Work Out that I taped last night for some more motivation. I want to be only 3% body fat ... don't think thats going to happen LOL!

Randomness

Random thoughts ...

1. I feel like everyone around me is moving on with their life and I am just stagnet. I mean I moved here only a year ago (almost) but I haven't really done anything else to further myself or to get to where I feel I need to be. I don't really know where that is but I do feel like I am not moving on.

2. Good show I watched today on A&E. King of Cars. Hilarious show. Random ... as I like it.

3. I went and took a class today at the gym and sweat my butt off. I love to sweat.

4. One week of school before spring break. I am not sure that I could have a job that didn't have amazing holidays. Maybe, it's just the type of job I am in that leaves me feeling stressed and tired.

5. What am I doing with my life? Am I too focused on myself? Is that a bad thing at 25? Do I not go out enough and try to meet new people (I have never been good at this)? AHHHHHH!!!!

Saturday Night

So not a whole lot going on today. Ended up napping and then going to the grocery. Then I got bored and decided to go shopping. I went and spent almost 200 dollars on clothes. I was excited because a pair of pants I bought was a size 8. WHOO HOO!!! Now I aspire to be a six. Don't think its going to happen but maybe.

I just read an article in Glamour about how women cut alcohol completely out and ended up losing weight. I think I might try this to help my lose this 10 lbs that is bothering me. Hopefully the working out is helping as well.

I watched True Life: I have Autism on MTV today. It was touching. It made me think about how maybe I should stay a teacher but maybe move back to special ed because I felt like I made such a bigger impact there. It repeats itself tomorrow night on MTV at 9pm/8c. I think it is good to watch especially for people who have never been around people who have a disability. It did bother me that they didn't use people first language though.
