Well, It's been a pretty nice day so far (expect for that packer loss today). I woke up this morning from a bad dream but the sun was out and shining which was comforting. I sat in bed and watched an episode of Parenthood while I waited for Brittany to wake up (I don't want to wake her up to go out in the living room). That show is pretty darn good. So when Brittany woke up I started washing the dishes. While I was washing them I heard a cat meowing at the front door. It's the land lady's cat, but her and her family are gone for a few weeks. A friend of the family is staying in their house but maybe he doesn't know the cat got out? Here's what I saw looking out the door.
He looked so cold and sad! I opened a can of tuna and put some yogurt with it and gave it to him outside. He still wouldn't go away though. Brittany said I couldn't let him in. Buuuuut, she left for church and I let him in anyways (yes I did tell her that I let him in when she got back). He is a sweet heart. He came inside, walked around for a bit then settled down in the chair and took a nap. It was hard kicking him back outside, but I put a box out there with a towel just in case he comes back.
So, since I opened some tuna I made some tuna salad. AND THEN, I made some homemade pizza rolls and oreo pudding (the oreo pudding came in handy after the packer loss...I ate a lot of it to drown my sorrows).

Now the rest of my plans for the day include watching Downton Abbey tonight and skyping with Chris!!! I haven't been able to skype with Chris for the past few days so that'll be nice to see his face again!
This week at school is exam week and I'm not quite sure what my role is for that. I know I'll be helping Heather grade some papers (is it nerdy I'm excited to do that?). Hopefully this week will go by fast!

Alright, second blog update for the week!
Being back at work has been alright. There's been a couple issues but nothing I can't handle. I was actual surprised to see how many people said they missed me while I was gone last week (I took some extra days off). It is kind of nice to hear that. Next week is semester exams for the students so, I'm not sure what my schedule will be or what my role is during all that. Guess I'll find out!
So, I've become a little bit addicted to the game fruit ninja. I don't know what it is about that game, but I like it. My high score is 471. I've been trying for a while now to break 500 but hasn't happened yet. I'll be sure to let you all know when that does happen.
I'm excited for the packer's game this weekend. I haven't been rid interested in football in the past, but I think it reminds me of home (mom) and that's why I like it so much. Plus, here in wrangell, games start at like 9 in the morning on Sundays. It's kind of nice waking up to some football.
Well, since I'm writing this on my phone I have my photos to share - photos from my break.

Wooo new year!! My apologies for the lack of blog updates. So here's a short entry to get updated.
I just got back to Wrangell early this morning. I have been on vacation for the past three weeks and had a great time with all my family and friends. Some highlights: hanging out with Lacey in Texas, Christmas with the family, FLLC staff reunion, CHRIS, and playing with Knoxypoo. I had such a good time that I'm actually pretty sad that I had to leave everyone. Hopefully I can figure some future plans out and be closer to those that I love.
So I finally came up with a few New Year's Resolutions.
1. Donate to a different charity every month (repeat of last year's, hopefully I'll last longer than three months)
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
3. Cook more meals (limit the ramen and mac n' cheese)
4. Swim the Teal Lake this summer
5. See Gavin Degraw in concert.
6. Read more
We'll see how these go - I'll keep you updated. Well it's 7:00 AK time right now and 11:00 Eastern time, which is what I've been used to the past couple of weeks. Let's see if I can stay up tonight to watch the second season of Downton Abbey!
