Okay, so I am totally ripping this off from my bride. She posted this months ago, and I figured I might as well just go crazy and post twice in one day.
Today’s date & time: Monday, May 12 at 9:15 am
1. Inside, I feel like I’m (what age): Some days… 15…. other days, 65
2. A goal I’m working on right now: Finishing my Ed.S. then transferring to Auburn to finish my doctorate
3. My most recent achievement: I was inducted into an educational honor society a couple of weeks back. Not a huge deal, I don’t suppose… but for me, the former reigning King of Slackers, maintaining a 4.0 as a grad student is a pretty big deal.
4. The last gift I bought for someone: Mother’s Day presents for Miranda.
5. The last CD I bought: Sarah Kelly for Miranda.
6. My current favorite song: Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton or anything by DMB
7. The last movie I saw in a theater: In a theater? Hmmmm…. maybe Knocked Up? I have seen more on airplanes and on DVD.
8. The last book I read: Stuart Woods has a new one in paperback that I read this weekend… Shoot Him if He Runs
9. The last new thing I learned: Well, I attended a two-day workshop last week to prepare me to implement new curriculum for a ninth grade academy next year. Does that count?
10. What I’m wearing right now: Cargo pants, navy polo with horizontal stripes across the chest, sandals
11. The last person I talked to on the phone: My bride
12. What I ate for breakfast today: McDonald’s chicken biscuit
13. What I thought I’d be doing by this age: You know, I didn’t really think about the future. I am pretty confident that I didn’t think I would be teaching high school English.
14. Something I’m saving up for right now: Not really saving as much as paying off some debts. Two big purchases for the summer / early fall… more ink for me and my bride and a new computer. I have been delaying my purchase of an iMac for entirely too long.
15. Someone I think about a lot: Honestly… my wife and children. Beyond the three of them, my buddy Pooch, an Air Force fighter pilot who is now stationed out in Arizona.
16. The last person I helped: Probably a student in one capacity or another.
17. The last thing I apologized for: Not sure exactly… I am sure it was for something between me and Miranda.
18. Something I’m worried about: I honestly don’t worry a whole lot… perhaps not as much as I should. I am concerned about a great number of things… but that is not the same thing as worrying.
19. What I wish for when I see a shooting star: A long life with my bride… one that leaves us able to look back and say what a wild and crazy ride it was!
20. What my plans are for the rest of this day: Teach my next three classes, take the girls home after school, get them bathed and fed, hang out with them for a while, put them down, and wait for my bride to come home!
