A Good Start To The Day!

First of all - I'm so excited!  Today I ran 2 1/4 miles!  That's the farthest I've been able to run yet.  I even felt like I could have gone another lap but I didn't want to overdo it.  I hope I can keep that up!  Makes me feel really good.  I also walked two miles and did my ab workout.  So what if I'm not losing weight...at least I getting fitter (more fit?).

Second - I've been checking out positions at local rental properties in the tri-state area (the bigger places) for Jim and one of them posted a position for a painter today.  It's in Kenwood and includes benefits including vacation and a 401K.  Now, who knows if Jim will get it and I'm realistic that there are TONS of people out there looking for these types of jobs but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my hopes positive.  I mean, how great would it be for him to be that close to home!?  Okay Muir, don't get your hopes out of control and too high!

So my plans today?  Well I don't have much going on.  I'm going to do a little work here in a bit.  I'm still modifying my To Kill a Mockingbird chapter questions. I did 10 of the chapters yesterday and hope to finish the rest today.  I think there are around 30 chapters...I can't remember.  Anyway - once I do that, I'll only need to print and create folders on my workday to be ready for day 1 at school.  I'll start the year with bio poems (poems the kids will create about themselves) which we will also use in the reading of the book (the kids will create a bio poem about one of the characters).  World History is already done...I just need to print all the stuff and then create binders for the kids.

Tomorrow is Friday and Maggie is coming down for our goodbye dinner for Cullen.  Can't believe he's about to head off to Minnesota!  I'm so excited for him!  Maggie will pick me up tomorrow so that Jim can just go straight to Raeburn after work.  We'll hang at the pool (hopefully it won't be too cloudy) and I'll get to play with Eva.

And that's all I've got.  Cross your fingers that the storms tonight aren't too bad...you know I'll be worried all day.  Ugh!

Oh, and I've updated my book blog...there are a couple of goodies on there!

K - I'm out...later!
