Another day. Another dollar. As the saying goes. I had a lot more time to work on storybooks and made it through four or five pages today. It helped that they weren't too involved. I was able to erase a lot of the words because there weren't any drawings touching them, which meant I didn't have to take the time and erase all the stuff around them. It is easier that way and I can just add the text back in when I put the pages in Publisher.

The rest of my day was pretty much the same old thing. Second grade reading groups, classes in the lab, and nothing exciting. Nothing worth writing about really. At least that I can remember at the moment.

After work I went to Hastings to buy a couple books for my brother for Christmas. I also wanted to rent Fred Claus but they didn't have it. Too close to Christmas I guess. I thought I owned it but now I'm fairly certain I don't. It is going to be on TV this weekend though so I'm going to DVR it, now that my DVR works. I haven't watched any Christmas movies yet this year. I brought some upstairs from my DVD shelf but I'm behind on my YouTube videos and I just haven't been in the mood. Ever since I let my teacher friend borrow The 'Burbs I have been in the mood to watch it. So hopefully she'll get to it before break so I can watch it sometime over break. Anyway, I also stopped by Sears to get my dad a gift card.

Tonight I was looking for a book that the librarian at school sent out an email asking to borrow. She never got back to me so I assume someone had it in their room but I looked nonetheless. And found it. The sixth Lemony Snicket book. And as a bookmark I was using a concert ticket. A concert that never was. Because instead of seeing a Fall Out Boy concert in Kansas City, we ate at a McDonald's in Hays. It was a sad day. Partly due to me sitting in the backseat, reading a book, rather than paying attention. I don't remember what book I was reading but the evidence seems to suggest it was the sixth book in the Lemony Snicket series.

My friend is in town so he stopped by tonight with frozen hot chocolates and we hung out for a bit. I felt sick almost immediately after finishing the frozen hot chocolate but it was delicious. It would have been nice to hang out with my friend longer but it is a school night. And at the moment I am up way past my bedtime. I'm tired. And tomorrow I need to wake up and exercise so I can feel a little less guilty about the frozen hot chocolate goodness. So good.
