ruth is blogging? what?
i can't believe it. i'm blogging. it's been forever. yes i have fallen off the face of the earth, but it's not so bad here... :) things have been insanely busy but in the best possible way. here's a brief synopsis:
i am officially a teacher. i teach 8th grade english. that's right kids. that masters in history functioning only to keep me on a slightly higher pay scale. oh and to teach my saturday class at pulaski tech which i am trying to remind myself to be grateful for. basically i spend my weekdays teaching, doing paperwork, grading papers, planning what i'm teaching next, co-leading my small group (sort of), spending time with my boyfriend and other friends, and worrying that i'm not doing everything that i need to do. hence not much blogging.
this blog is brought to you courtesy of the fact that we have 1.5 days off for the AEA conference which i decided not to attend. today has been fabulous. i slept until i woke up...which was 8 a.m. then i ate pumpkin pie for breakfast and watched 'the family stone' (which i love & set the dvr to record when it comes on again). i did some laundry, ran some errands, used a taco bell coupon for lunch, & watched 'calendar girls' while i ate my nachos bellgrande. gosh i love british people. since lunch i have uploaded songs onto my ipod, gone for a walk, listed items to sell on amazon, cleaned the laundry room, done more laundry, swept the floor, and cleaned the kitchen. days off rock.
the best part of it all is that i don't have to prepare for my saturday class. tomorrow i'm giving a test so all i have to do is show up. amazing. the only thing left for me to do today is go on a date with my amazing boyfriend. God is good. what else can i say?
i'll tell you what else i can say...it is officially FALL!! i love fall!! it feel amazing outside and i'm so happy to pull out the fall/winter wardrobe. i have officially fallen in love with starbucks mint hot chocolate. the stores have had christmas decorations in for a few weeks now and i have officially spotted egg nog in the milk section at kroger (along with chocolate mint milk and pumpkin spice milk...woof). i have already started listening to christmas music. i'm a freak. what else can i say? at least i admit it...and at least i haven't put up any christmas decorations yet...
anyway...hope all is well in your world.
