Grading is so not fun

Do you think if I asked my boss if I could get a raise for every paper that I graded it would work? :) I can dream, right?

Well, let's see, life has been in a word, crazy. We lost PawPaw this week and spent a lot of time with family this week and were able to spend a great evening with Phyllis, which we both greatly enjoyed. We had a Super Bowl themed luncheon yesterday at work so that was definitely really good and very filling. :)

This morning I got up and Karl and I took a big load of things to Goodwill so now we have a whole lot more room in our storage building. Maybe we can get that second room cleaned after all. :) Once Amanda is back in school during the Fall we will have a whole lot more room since her stuff will be in her apartment. But for now, we will just store her things, I guess. :)

Let's see . . . tomorrow we will hopefully start taking down the horse fence so I am excited about that . . . if only HPU would send me my W-2!!! :) Oh well, I guess I just need to sit and wait. You know how frustrating that is?!?! We have so many things we want to do to the house but we'll just wait, I guess.

Oh, I almost forgot! Kiana has learned a new trick! She can now . . . close the door by herself. You heard me, close the door. :) When we let her outside to go to the bathroom, we just leave the door open so she can come back in when she is done. Well, we have been working with her to close the door by tapping the handle and she jumps up and closes it. Last night she did it without me having to get up to tap the handle or anything. It was really awesome! :)

This week we are planning on doing a whole lot of nothing. At school we have our Valentine's party and I have some homework due for Grad school, other than that, there is not much going on. :)

Watching the Super Bowl tomorrow . . . Go Colts!!! :)

If this happens one more time . . .

Anyone know a good cell phone service provider? This is the second time that we worked with someone at AT&T and I am about ready to switch providers. We went in there today to get my phone moved to Karl's plan, which we had to get a form filled out by my mom (well, kinda :), it helps when I can sign like mom; it's not like I didn't have her permission) in order to do so. We walked in and talked to this guy, gave him the form, and we thought that he understodd what we needed to be done and he just started going. We got to the point where I would pick out a phone and he started getting stuff ready and I re-asked him, after he wanted to know what number I wanted to use for it, if my phone was now on Karl's plan and he just went crazy on us. Basically he said that we never told him that that is what we wanted. He was very rude, basically saying that it was our fault that he did all this work for nothing. It was very disheartening and I really wanted to tell him to forge...

New Journey . . . Diamond Club

What does it take to make a diamond? Any ideas? According to Wikipedia, you know the source for all things, a diamond is "formed at high temperature[s] and pressure". Karl and I are excited to announce that we will be taking part in journey. A journey that will, hopefully, push us to Diamond. It will take a lot of work but we are excited for this opportunity for our team. What is Diamond Club? Why is this so exciting? Maybe this video will explain it better. Diamond Club creates a great opportunity for EVERYONE! It allows Karl and I to travel to areas that want to grow and also allows for new members to receive additional products with their enrollment and subsequent LRP orders. Free stuff??? Yes, please!!! It really is a great opportunity for everyone on our team. We are looking forward to the immense growth that will happen because of this wonderful opportunity. So you may be asking, how do I get involved? What does this look like exactly? Basically we...

Writer's Corner Number 8

Typed from written Journal Entry: I thought I’d change it up a bit and try writing in journal form tonight. I am also curious to see the difference in length of writing for both writing formats. Dr. Semingson suggested incorporating pictures into our journal writings/posts. I don’t have any pics from growing up – they are all at my dad’s house in Michigan – but I can start adding new pics from Alaska, especially when it comes time to talk about our honeymoon adventures there. Today I want to start by talking about earthquakes. I want to preface this “talk” with a story from when I moved to Texas. Not long into the start of my 7th grade year we practice emergency drills. I remember one of my teachers talking about what to do in case of an emergency: crouch down with your head near a wall and cover your head. I remember thinking that getting near a wall wouldn’t be the safest thing in the world but I didn’t argue – I didn’t know what that emergency drill was for. Now that I’m olde...
