"Friendship is like peeing on yourself. Everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings."

I love Subway and their $5 footlongs. Dinner for $2.50 (half a sub) and then lunch the next day for another $2.50 (the other half). How much better does it get?!

On my way home from the gym I decided I was not cooking dinner, Subway is healthy, on the way home, and I had $10 for husband and I to eat...so WINNER! I pulled my sweaty self into Subway to grab din-din. Yep. That's how I roll.

It's still cold. Winter needs to be over. I think the coldness is what is currently contributing to my grumpiness. Ick. I would love for the sun to just shine and shine and warm the ground (and me!). I think that would make me feel better.

The other thing to make me happy...I need to quit watching the news. I know, I know, be informed. I think that right now if I heard less of the news, I might be happier. Wow, talk about Debbie Downers. I should stick with my world of reality TV....for some reason they aren't dealing with the recession, therefore I don't have to be reminded of it during The Bachelor, The Real World (shouldn't I hear about it on a show called Real World? Hmmm....), The Biggest Loser, etc. The news, however, can't quit talking about it. Therefore, I should stop watching the news.

My stomach is growling. I need to get ready for work so that I can eat some breakfast this morning. Instead I am on here catching up...eh, it could be worse. Welp, good day!

It's cold... I can't feel my fingers. Brrr.

The TV says it is 7 degrees outside. I want to throw the TV out the window. I hate cold weather. I don't want to go outside in 7 degrees, especially when the news says there is a bitter wind that makes it feel like -10 outside. Seriously, -10?! No thanks. Then I have to put on thin work pants and go outside. Wow...sounds like a bundle of fun. Oh, cold weather, how I despise you.

I am taking Lysol to school today. It's time to defunkify my classroom. Between the walking pnemonia, viral infection, various colds, and flus...I have had enough. Ick. I have had another kid out Friday and yesterday. So it is time to spray EVERYTHING. I can't deal with germs. I have been feeling rotten the past couple of days. No good when I have bday celebration this weekend coming up!

The Bachelor rocks my socks off. Last night was a such a good episode. **spoiler**

I can't believe that he kept Jillian. I really like her and I liked her when she was first shown on the show, but I didn't think he would keep her over Stephanie. Stephanie's breathy voice annoys me, but she was very, very sweet. I just didn't see her with him because she was always so prim and proper. Maybe it is the southern belle in her. You think? I don't know. I didn't know about Melissa at first, but I am really starting to like her and looking at his body language, so does Mr. Bachelor. Hmmm....We'll see...

Biggest Loser night tonight! Woo!

Wind chills below zero make me unhappy of a morning. I don't want to get up, get ready, or head out the door. I have decided after spending the weekend with my friend that has automatic start for her car, that I need it as well. It might be the best invention ever. Ever. You can be almost anywhere, hit a button, and your car starts. If you remember to turn your defrost or heat on, your car is warm when you go to get in...amazing. I need it.

Truman went to obedience school last night. They have lessons on Mondays and then you can go back 2 other nights a week to have some reinforcement. Guess who needs those reinforcement classes? Yep. Truman just had some major ADD during class. Too much going on for him to pay much attention to us. I think Mr. S. was going to lose it at one point. It was pretty cold in the building and he was breaking a sweat. As nicely as possible he was trying to do all the right things...say "sit" as sweetly as he could, pet him, praise him...but no, nothing. He did SOME things okay...just not exactly what he needed to do. I had to remind him he is only 8 months old and it might take a bit. Oh this should get interesting.

We are hack to school now. I'm not going to lie, I was not super excited about it. I walked in the door just wishing I were at home in bed. I think I missed them more than I thought. It has been okay. Really, it hasn't been that bad. The kids are pretty excited because it is time for them to do all the "important" third grade tasks. You know, multiplication, cursive...that kinda thing. So...they are in good spirits and I am in good spirits. We'll see how long it lasts!

I made a recipe from the Biggest Loser Cookbook. Now, I am sure that it, if cooked correctly, is good. I don't think I did it 100% correctly. Mr. S. said that he really liked it. I really didn't. If I keep this up, I will definitely lose weight because I ate like 1/2 my dinner last night. So..I have some changes to make to that recipe. Oh...and due to the smoke from the frying, the smoke detectors went off AND my house still smells like dinner this morning. Neat.

Frustration has been my word of the day here at home. I need to stop being so frustrated, but when the big, yellow dog won't sleep, all you do is clean, and then once you clean, it all ends up back as a mess in a day...I get frustrated. Grrr....that's my rant.

It's cold. 19 degrees this morning. I was looking at the weather and the highs have been in the 30s (Welcome to Midwest, USA!). Then Friday it's going to be in the 50s, and then it goes back into the 20s and 30s for highs the next days after that. Stupid weather...okay, that is rant pt. 2.

Time to put my face on and go to work. Good day! I said good day!

When the Weather Outside is Frightful...

Our anniversary has come and gone. Thanks to everyone for the anniversary wishes! Mr. S. got me these gorgeous amethyst earrings (I will post pics later!) and we went to the Christmas program. The program was so good! Well, minus the preschooler that had a breakdown. One of the teachers told him to scoot back so he wouldn't fall off the stage. Instead he just collapsed into a ball on the stage and stayed there though 1.5 songs and until his dad came and got him. Awesome. Haha!

It's cold here. Very very cold. So cold, my car would not start yesterday morning. I had to wake Mr. S. out of his dead sleep and have him come and jump start my car. Later in the day, he tells me he was still pretty much asleep this whole time. Nice. No wonder my car started smoking at one point due to the jumpers being on wrong. Goodness.

Me: Um, sparks, fire, smoke...there's stuff coming from my car.

Mr. S.: Hmmm, oh, OH! S**t!

Me: *rolling eyes*

Yep, awesome.

For all of you that are freezing like me, stay warm! For those of you not freezing, well, unkind thoughts your way! Haha! Just kidding!
