Back To School

you know how in every family except mine, on the first day of school, all the kids would line up with their backpacks and the mom would take a picture of them and then scrapbook it and have a collection of pictures of their child growing up...

in continuing the un-tradition... jeremy didnt take a picture of me on my first day of the new school year. yes, the kids are back. we only had one student with drugs and no fights. oh yeah and some terrorist threats. another day in the life. i bet most of these kids' moms didnt take their pictures this morning either. seriously though, although i was running around like a chicken with no head (another experience i was denied growing up... slaughtering chickens... hmmm... i am ok with that i think) it was a pretty smooth day. i have a HUGE mountain of stuff to do on my desk (and i am assuming my desk is still under there because i sure cant see it!) but that just keeps time flowing right?

tomorrow night we are going to watch big bang theory get taped again. i am excited. i hope it was as good as the first episode!

we had a great weekend too! we went with al and lottie to the beach on saturday. it got kinda chilly in the late afternoon but i got good sun. and the sunburn on the back of my knees is almost completely healed. :) sunday we served at church... afterwards we went and saw 3:10 to Yuma. great movie! seriously... christian bale and russell crowe all dusty riding horses and shooting guns and stuff. how is that not a good movie right? can i get an amen? but i thought the plot was excelllent and respectfully disagree with bryce who says it was top-heavy (whatever that means). we did some shopping at the grove and on sunset then ate dinner at the saddle ranch chophouse. we were lucky enough to get a table right by the mechanical bull so we had a great view of the action when two drunk guys went for it. one guy actually stayed on the whole 8 seconds. i was very impressed. the other guy overshot when jumping on the bull and fell off the other side. that was awesome.

then we got to watch the vmas on mtv. all i can say is... poor britney. that was just sad. if i had that belly i wouldnt be prancing around in my bra and underwaer on national television. have some self respect. seriously. and get a stylist. oh and someone to help you remember that when you are lipsynching you actually have to move your mouth.
