We're Losers!

Just wanted to drop a note here and say sorry we're such losers and don't have any kind of a cute picture to put up or send out. Getting Pret to take a picture with me is like trying to pull teeth. Maybe we will get some taken over the break and I will get them up after the fact.

Hope everyone is doing well and has a great break. I won't have internet access on a regular basis over the break, so my entries will probably be more sporatic. But I look forward to hearing great updates and fun stories!

Love to all!

Internet Down

Ok, so this will be really quick, but it was a major thing in my life! The last two work days (Friday, Monday), the internet has been down at work/school. You wouldn't think that this would be too big a deal, but you try going four consecutive days without the opportunity to check your email or do the things that you are used to doing on a regular day.

It was really quite interesting because I actually had to find other ways to keep myself busy at school. It was a big wake-up call that I spend way too much time during work doing my own personal stuff. I need to be better about doing school stuff during school time and saving my personal stuff for non-contract time. I am usually here long enough to get everything done, but if I was better about that, I wouldn't have a pile of papers to grade sitting at home in the same place it has been since I took it there almost a week ago (sorry Pret!).

Anyway, I guess it would be a good thing for me if the internet were down all day during school, unless I was actually doing something for school, then I could flip a switch and let myself on. In other words, I have no self-control when it comes to being on-task. I really will try to be better about this and maybe my students will improve and I will have more free-time at home! Let this be a lesson to all (unless you are much more disciplined than I...

Mocking "The Shane Company"

Ok, I assume most of you are familiar with "The Shane Company" and it's radio ads featuring Tom Shane. Well, a few months ago, I heard an add on the radio for "The Scooter Lounge," located in Orem. I laughed the whole way through it as I realized it was totally mocking The Shane Company's ad. I only heard it once or twice, and then it disappeared. Today, I was doing not too much of anything which on lunch and found that if you go to their website, you can listen to the ad from The Scooter Lounge.

Here's what you
1. Go to www.thescooterlounge.com. (I couldn't get the link button to work, or else I would have made it a direct link from here...)
2. On the left of the page, there is a link that says, "Check out our radio spot we did a few months back" with a "here" underneath it; click "here."
3. Laugh away at the creative writing of some people at "The Scooter Lounge."

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!!
