Should I Feel Bad for This?

Okay, today I waited (procrastinated) until about 9p.m. to go to the gym. Well, there was a part of me that felt like the king of the world with just me, the cardio machines, and that's it. The self-righteous inner voice comes out. I think, "Wow, I'm really impressed with me!" Then some guy came in and hopped on the stair machine and proceeded to BURN IT UP. So, I guess I shouldn't feel bad, I just got a little silent shut-up juice from dude.

Meeting on wireless grant today. This is going to be TOUGH! We've got some good folks to help, but wow, it's a challenge. I've never participated in anything like this before. I'm hopeful and intrigued by the prospects.

Well, I'm sorry that my posts have been short, but I enjoy sleep!

Thirty-minute Ellipticizing

After BodyPump, which was brutal thanks to Diana, Mrs. C. and I decided to do the elliptical thing. Here's what my i-pod decided for me to hear:

Promiscuous - Nelly Furtado
Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good) - Sugarland
Hella Good - No Doubt
Rehab - Amy Winehouse
Stronger - Kanye West
Because of You - Ne-Yo
Say It Right - Nelly Furtado
Wait a Minute - The Pussycat Dolls
Just Fine - Mary J. Blige

Mary J. ROCKS MY FACE OFF! I love this song SO much. Listen to the words. Delicious for my brain!

Music to Ellipticize to. . .

Just for your information, this is the set that I listened to last night while ellipticizing.

Turn to Stone -- Electric Light Orchestra
Run Around -- Blues Traveler
My Sweet Blue-Eyed Darlin' -- Bill Monroe with Ricky Scaggs
Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good) -- Sugarland {See, I do appreciate them!}
Little Sister -- Dwight Yoakam
Dirty Little Secret -- The All-American Rejects
Givin' It Up for Your Love -- Delbert McClinton
Candyman -- Christina Aguilera
Jump -- Van Halen
My Maria (Live) -- Brooks & Dunn
Who Knew -- P!nk
Proud (Josh Harris Pride Remix) -- Heather Small
Heaven Knows -- Donna Summer

Overall, it was pretty good, although Dwight's rendition of "Little Sister" was a little slow. I like that song so much that I really didn't mind.

What's Going On? I See You!


I'm just maxing and relaxing. Didn't make it to church this morning. I stayed up too late last night trying to watch football and baseball.


I've got the Monday progress report situation. Gotta get on top of that tomorrow morning AND lesson plans to turn in. Also, Dude and I are hosting a GHSGT (Georgia High School Graduation Test) Review. So that puts me at school from about 6:30 a.m. to after 8:00 p.m. I'll make up for it by going straight to bed!


Then Tuesday should be low-grade/low profile. I am hoping that people are getting ready for a VIP visit and leave me ALONE to teach. Wednesday, we are having a VIP, but more importantly, we are leaving early for the region for cross-country. Thursday should be low-profile and Friday is our last football game this year. All in all, it should be a good week.


Add to all this that Mrs. C. and I have decided to meet Tuesday and Thursday at 8:00 at the gym for ellipticaling, since we met yesterday and today. So, I'll keep all y'all (for those of y'all not from the South, that's plural for y'all) posted.
