Rock, Chalk, SilverHawk

Went to watch Squirt play some volleyball tonight with my sisters.

She dominated, got some killer spikes and all that. Would have made Juwanna proud.

That was pretty much the highlight of the day, jamming with the family.

Not much happened during the day aside from the TAB meeting.

Which was not my favorite of meetings.

I like the kids, they're great, but it's a little difficult to keep some of them on task.

Especially the newer, younger ones.

And it tends to annoy the older ones.

So I'm trying to be understanding, but my new motto is if the story you're raising your hand to tell us has nothing to do with the meeting at hand it can wait until later.

We mostly talked over our art project that will take place on this upcoming Tuesday. We'll be decorating our young adult area with some cool homemade posters and bookmarks and all that. I'm excited, and they seemed excited, I think.

But they're teenagers, maybe they think it's totally lame and are humoring me.

I think making bookmarks would be fun. Got lots of cardstock stuff, will get them to do their own homemade designs, then laminate and cut them out. Just create like a stockpile of them in the YA are for people to use.

But again, they're teenagers, perhaps they think doing that and painting/sketching/etc posterboard and hanging it up is lame.

Guess we'll find out on Tuesday.

It was just one of those meetings, you know?

I don't know, maybe it was an off day for me or them or whatever, it just was weird. So I let them out like 10 minutes early after touring the YA area and the basement when I showed them our stock of supplies.

So the game helped, had a lot of fun and cheered loud.

Was amused that Oldest Sister and the King of Useless Knowledge - aka my eldest brother in law - were the loudest parents there.

After the game I bought some popcorn from my nephew - woohoo for fundraisers - and came home to watch The Voice. Some cool battle rounds tonight, all of my favorites that battled survived aka Aquile, Melanie and Celica.

Out for the night.

Maybe some sleep with knock me back from this off-ness.

oh baby, baby, it's a wild world.

Tried a breakfast burrito at my usual coffee joint this morning.

I'd say about a 3/10 on the foodie Scale of Awesome.

Will skip that at all future opportunities.

Stick with my cinnamon roll.

Or chocolate muffin.

Those are good too.

So that's how my day started.

Crappy spicy sausage breakfast burrito with hot coffee to go with it so it was like hotness overload.

Which made the coffee taste semi-gross but it's okay because it actually kept me awake since I left the apartment at 6:30.

Oh yeah, I woke up at like 6:25, got dressed and left the apartment in 5 minutes.

That's my rock star morning sequence where everything is literally laid out for me the night before because I know waking up any time before 10AM means I won't be coherent enough to make sure things match.

Plus no lights are turned on in this apartment before 8AM.

Too bright.

Anyway, so left at 6:30, got coffee a little before 8, had class from 8:30-about 11ish. I love my professor, we're scheduled to go until 12:30, but since all the other sections are just like 2 hours she's letting us out way early.

And today was more of a work day, which is good cause I'm so behind on the HTML thing.

We're building websites, which I already told you, but I'm making a camp one - even though I already have a professional one - because it's literally the only thing I'm an expert on and I have 80 millions forms, pictures, and word docs on it.

After class was the Husker game. I listened to it and read the chats - there's one on the Journal Star website for every game that's highly entertaining.

Really gotta break down and get the Big Ten Network.

Eh, I'll watch it when I go home, Mom taped it for me.

So, this is what happens when you're up by 35 by the end of the first quarter.



and the rest of the game was a bit like that since the final score was 73-7.

Not really fair, but we'll take it.

I actually have my own video of the wave from a couple years back, will have to upload it.

Huskers rock, and Burkhead's back in full force.

I probably could have went home to watch it today but then I couldn't have taken my wicked awesome nap afterward.

I miss naps.

Naps rock.

Add to cart.

Okay, more class tomorrow though this one is a bit later.

Thankfully.

So, I should be off to bed now as it is more like 3AM than the 11:50PM this entry will say it is.

Song of the day:


Wild World - Cat Stevens


and she's out.
