Goal #1 for the day: Plan all lessons for five weeks...which would take us to Spring Break .

Had a successful FFA Booster Member Auction tonight...and now I'm ready to grade, lesson plan and recover from the flu for the rest of the weekend. ::sigh::

Trying to be productive...already hit the post office, now getting some Starbucks before I head off to get my car washed. It really needs some internal cleaning love!

I'm home and drinking some Caramel Vanilla something or other flavored coffee from my Keurig...ah, I've missed you.

McCarran Airport? You kinda rock for having free wifi. I should be in my pajamas at home within 3 hours

My LapBand has restriction again...yay!

Learning about where we are going regarding health care reform at the CPEEHCC conference. I think that's the longest acronym I know.

Wow...what a good, long day. My freshmen shocked me - they took 2nd place in the section (county) tonight, and one of my girls took 2nd high individual! Way to start out the competition season! I feel good when they accomplish good things, and enjoy the time outside of the classroom with kids - reminds me why I got into ag teaching in the first place.

:::sigh::: Been awake since 5am and am ready for another 13 hour work day. I'm with Adam Bishop - I can't wait to head to the health care conference in Vegas tomorrow night so I can get some rest and some work done!

Just looking at my calendar for the rest of this month and next make me queasy. When's Spring Break?

Finally home on my day off...cookin' some Tastefully Simple Perfectly Potato Cheddar Soup (Thanks Heidi Hawn Webb!) and getting ready to spend the rest of my day off planning lessons...I might even throw in some grading...we'll see. I don't want to be too ambitious!

"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness." - Martin Luther King, Jr. Off to the MLK Breakfast with other KHSTA and CTA leaders

Thanks to the bodybugg tracking my calories out, and my annoyingly consistent logging of calories in, I'm down 4.2 pounds since last Sunday! I'll take that Can't wait to see my doctor this Wednesday for a LapBand fill so I can stop being hungry!

I can't believe it's only Saturday night of a three day weekend. Sweet!

Cityville neighbors - I'm ready to start a Tower Eats franchise. First to comment with their level number gets one, if they have an empty lot!

Off to rock a 5K with the Ridgeview FFA members...any of y'all are welcome to join us at the RHS football field track at 10am!

I'm home!!! Okay, so I have the kickoff "FFA Biggest Loser 5K" tomorrow morning and other work events on Monday, even though there's no school...but I'm HOME and it's the WEEKEND! Yippee

I remember watching episodes of "Biggest Loser" in my past after having run to a local fast food joint...pigging out on a probably 2,000+ calorie meal while watching others lose the weight. Tonight I watched last night's episode while sipping a 60 calorie Cafe Mocha (Keurig) and then followed the episode with a quick Zumba workout on the Wii. Man, times have changed.

"How we treat one another? That's entirely up to us." - President Obama's Memorial speech for the Tucson shooting victims. How about we all work on doing a better job with that? I know I could do better.

To whom it may concern: I have already put in 23 hours of work this week (if you don't count the lesson planning and grading on the weekend)...can you please make sure I get home by 5:30pm today? I have some DVR to watch. Thank you! <3 Joia

Today will be a wonderful day. Why? It's my anniversary with the love of my life, Mr. Nick Lovejoy! I <3 you, lover!

Department chair meeting in half an hour...oh, the joy!

My goal for this week: hit my 1,000 calorie deficit every day. G'nite.

Dr. Salimitari is just AWESOME. I'm 5 months out of surgery and down almost 60 pounds. I had no issues, no concerns...nothing. Life's been great!
