# 1 and so very happy

We are still cleaning up after the crazy birthday party we had for the hubbie. It was a night of lovely finger foods, fancy cocktails and a mighty rambunctious group of folks.

I made it to school okay today, even though I am still recovering from the killer cold that I was given last week.

I ran today at the gym...well, I ran and walked. I am easing into this half marathon thing. I am just not a runner and for some strange reason I have agreed to run a half marathon! What was I thinking?! And the worst part is, is that I am really going to sign up! I can see it all now though, they will all be waiting at the finish line, cold from being there so long, and here I come around the corner crawling across the finish line dazed and confused the whole time just mad and swearing that I will never listen to T again! :) I am going to keep running though. I will take it seriously because there is nothing that I hate more than people waiting for me! I just can't believe they make you pay money to run...it's genius!

Well, Jerky is going through his hissy sassy phase right now just like he does every winter. Some may say that he is like that all of the time but I will have you know that 9 months...or maybe more like 5 months out of the year, he is a total sweetheart. Patsy steers clear no matter what time of year it is. Jerky is actually passed out on the couch right now, probably tired from a hard day of sleeping outside.

It is getting late and I still need to lesson plan for tomorrow.

Oh, I forgot, my students, who I will from now on refer to as 'my kids' are trying to raise money for a trip to Italy. I am all for it. We were given a little road block today by the administration but nothing is set in stone yet...keep your fingers crossed.

good night for now.
