What a busy week I’ve had! I told you my daily schedule was going to be turned completely inside out starting this week! Today is my day off - from work and school. I slept in, caught up on some TiVo and am playing computer for a while. I should be reading some Western Civ or Geology, really. But I’ve got four days to do that! What’s the rush?!

I think I’ve already contracted a bug. I always get sick with a cold or something like that the first couple months into the school year. Especially when I’m working with the little ones. But the first week is a record for me! My nose and throat are scratchy and runny, I’m very tired and today I am achy. Oh joy. I took a pregnancy test last night (because I’ve been nauseous pretty frequently lately) and it came up negative. Whew. We are so not ready for a baby yet! But can I just say that pregnancy tests have come a long way since I last took them in, oh, 1996! Instead of a single stick with a tiny hole in which you must struggle to position your, uh, pee in, the package came with two test strips that you insert into this large thing that looks like a digital thermometer - with a long sticky-outtie part that you’re supposed to pee on. Then wait a minute or three for the DIGITAL read out to say PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT. So fancy schmancy! Yes, of course, there was a small part of me that was secretly hoping it would say PREGNANT. It would be stressful but a fun surprise! And we could be a new statistic: sexually active couple whose TWO forms of regular birth control (condoms and pill) FAILED! We’d be famous. And that would be cool.

So, in some of the classrooms at school, they have these god-awful desks that are the kind where the desk surface protrudes out from one arm of the chair. They look kinda like this:

Well, last semester, I couldn’t fit comfortably into one of these contraptions cuz of my huge gut and booty. In May, I started eDiets. Went off for a month or so. Now am back on. So far, I’ve lost about 18 pounds (only 77 more to go!). When I climbed into one of these desks on Monday, I found that I didn’t have trouble getting in, out, or writing on. My gut wasn’t crushed up against the surface. It was actually, somewhat comfortable. Horray!!! I celebrated with a brownie (just kiddin’).

My Honey has a blog now. Check it out here. I love that he is so trying to copy me. >:)

Yeah, I’m really feeling ill now. I think I should go lie down. Ugh.
