Well….

I figured out a way to get my pics from my camera to my computer!! But I had to use my blackberry cable to do it. I’m not sure that that’s really good for my camera, but it’ll due for now until I can either get a real cable for my camera dock thing or I get a new camera (that might not come until my birthday though).

I just got home from work and I thought I would do some updating before I work out! School was school. Same ish, different day. I’m very ready to be out of there! 31 days!!!!!!

Today for lunch I made an Amy’s Texas Burger (LOVE these!!!!). I put it on a good ole Mrs. Baird’s sesame bun. Even though they aren’t whole wheat they are still a classic around these parts, especially since the Mrs. Baird’s bakery is just a few miles up the road.

Here was lunch today…

Then it was off to school. I showed the kids a video on American Folk Music. I will be doing this quite a bit between now and the end of the year. I can quite honestly say that I don’t really care any more. I hardly even get to see all of them anyway- they pull them out of my class for everything. Right now it’s TAKS tutoring pullouts. Out of a class of 20 I might get to see about 7 or 8 of them. And there’s no telling which one’s I’ll get to see at any given time. It just depends on who they feel like pulling out that day. There’s no way that I can teach anything relevant. I would have to re-teach it about 30 times because of the pullouts. Meh. I can’t wait to get out of there. I’m so burnt out!

Anyway, I’m home now! I’m about to hop on the treadmill and do 2 miles and maybe some crunches on the exercise ball. Then I’m going to do some stretching and foam roll!!

See you at dinner!!

I heart Wednesdays.

It’s Wednesday!! My favorite day of the week!!!

Let’s start out with a cute pic of the pup, Harley…

On to breakfast!

Today’s oatmeal…
1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 banana
spoonful of pumpkin stirred in at the end
1 tablespoon walnuts sprinkled on top
spoonful of cinn raisin PB
cuppa joe

Guess I wasn’t super hungry, I only ate about half of it. I think I should cut my oats down to 1/3 cup instead of 1/2. I feel like I’m wasting good food by tossing it.

I’m about to hop in the shower and get ready to go to work! See ya at lunch!!! Oh, and I’m playing around with my theme again, trying to make my own little logo to go at the top…we’ll see how it goes!

Earbug

I have this song stuck in my head…
I would walk 5,000 miles and I would walk 5,000 more
Just to be the guy who walked 5,000 miles…

It.Won’t.Go.Away.

Work was sucky as usual.

My photo quality was sucky as usual. I’m about to experiment with a different cable to try and connect to my camera. We’ll see what happens. I’m tired of poopy looking pics though!

Breakfast today was:

I’ve been doing some carrer-wise soul searching lately. I definitely know that it’s time for a change (hence quitting my job. That’s right, I said hence!)

I’m not quite ready to share, mostly because I’m still doing some thinging, but I’m thinking about leaving music alltogether. This path that I chose feels like it has taken all of the passion away from music that I had for it. I think I need to step away from it as a career and just play my instrument for the beauty of the music that I will be playing! I feel like that is the only way that I will truly be able to find myself again.

I will post more on this subject as I come to more conclusions.
