Long Time, No Post

I don't like the fact that I haven't posted in over a week; I can't say that I'm busy because that would be a lie, but I'm back to using Dayna's laptop since mine is broken and so I don't want to upload all my pics to her computer and quite frankly, blog posts are boring with no pictures...like this one will be. Last week, I was at my parents house so I was uploading all my pics on their computer which I don't mind since I'm the only one who uploads photos on their computer. You probably could care less about all of this information, right? Right.

So, I'm going to bullet point all of my days over the past week and someday, when I have pictures to add to the words, I'll make different posts about them. I've been thinking and feeling a lot of different things lately, some of which I'm not sure should be made public on my blog for different reasons. Perhaps I should old-fashion journal them because it's always helped me to write out my feelings for different situations. I'm in a time of transition, no doubt, but it's a transition I like. However, different things are adding to the mix (that's life, isn't it?) and I'm just ready to go back to work!

Onto the bullet points...

-I recently bought 2 barstools from Craigslist that are painted fun colors for mine and Dayna's classrooms! I'll post a pic soon-they're super cute! And, I got them both for $30. :)
-I am more than ready to go back to work, I think. I'm like a pregnant mother in nesting mode- except that I'm a teacher in nesting mode, not a pregnant mother. ;) I have been shopping at any and all teacher stores getting things for the new school year and I couldn't be more excited to begin my first full year as a teacher. I'm expecting great things and am praying for my students already and can't wait to meet them!
-I had my first experience in an ambulance last week when leaving the beach. The ambulance never left the parking lot, and I never passed out but was pretty darn close. It was an awful feeling. I was with my mom and sister and I think my mom called 911 just because she was scared of driving home with me in that condition. The paramedics checked my blood sugar levels and my heart and all of that good stuff, and everything was normal. But man, when I told my mom, "I feel lightheaded," that is an understatement of what I felt. I was about to fall to the ground. A very nice man helped us out and got one of our beach chairs opened up and poured water all over me to get cooled down and we were so thankful for his help!
-I shopped a lot last week and will soon do a post of all of my goods. :)
-One of my old college roommates was in town this week and I met up with her at Starbucks one night to catch up. We're both experiencing the same life-transition right now, so that was reassuring!
-We celebrated my dad's 49th birthday last Sunday and I was sooo happy that he loved the shirts I got him! I'll post on that soon, too! (Just like everything else I'm "posting about soon.")
-Dayna and I went to our new apartment complex's pool today to soak up some sun! It was fun! We both got color and enjoyed the beautiful pool!
-I went to the doctor yesterday to follow up with the 911 episode last week and am being referred to a gastroneurologist for further testing after my bloodwork results come back. I've not had an appetite lately and get full real quickly when I eat so the doctor thinks I may have a bacteria in my stomach? He wants a scope done so that they can see what's going on. I'm a little nervous but it would be nice to have some answers if there are any!
-Dayna and I had a cheese stuffed-crust pizza tonight from Pizza Hut and it was GOOD!
Although I was disappointed that they did not have wild-cherry pepsi! Bummer!
-Dayna and I have also been working on a puzzle in our apartment that I will, yep you guessed it, post when it is finished! Ha! A puzzle is really the last thing we need to distract us here though, considering we still haven't finished unpacking since our June 30th move. Ha! My family is coming this coming weekend for a cookout though so hopefully that will be motivation enough for me to get this place in shape! :)

Well, I think that's all for tonight. I hope to be blogging with pictures again soon!

Hey Kaitlin! Thanks for checking out my boring little blog-I think you are one of 10 readers, ha!

There are a few sites that print blogs, Blurb and blog2print are the most popular. Blurb allows the use to really customize the book, but it takes forever. I got mine printed at blog2print and it was SO easy--literally took me just a few minutes. I used a 20% coupon code and the first one ended up costing about $40, the second (much larger) was about $100.

Hope that helps!! Have a great week!
