OMG!
I also started tutoring with a new student last night at the library and I was so excited because as I was showing her different ways to remember when to do what and going through the steps of linear inequalities and such there was one point where I could "see the light bulb turning on" when she got it. It felt so good and this lightbulb was confirmed after we finished and I went to confirm with her mom that we would be meting again on Monday night. I had acccidently put some of the libraries work books with my stack and I went to put them back and I could hear her telling her mom, "Girl stuff I couldn't even follow along with this morning in class I was doing back there." :) Yay! So if I don't help her on anything else- at least I know I helped her on that.
We are still planning on going to IL this weekend as long as the weather permits. My mom says that some of my old friends from elementary are preggers! So hopefully Jamie still talk to some of them and I'll get to see them this weekend too....but who knows who still talks and who doesn't.
I don't think we have anything real interesting coming up this week. I'm working so many hours I probably won't be posting anything big. I still have pictures to add to the site from last weekend. So everyone- have a great week.

Just Keepin' it Quick
We rented from the Redbox for the first in several weeks this wekend. We rented Suburban Girl and Sydney White with Amanda Bynes. I was totally bored with Suburban Girl but Chris was diggin' it, I just about fell asleep. Sydney White was soo funny we watched it twice before returning it. Chris has been a bit under the weather the past couple of days so we watched the movies early and went to bed early. I was actually very tired after a long 10 hour day Friday with only two of us working and not being open on Monday- it was chaotic. Going to bed early was no problem. Sunday we went to shop in South bend. We first had lunch at Olive Garden- This is a TREAT for us now. It is so far away and we only get it when we drive over there. Zuppa Tuscanna and salad thats what I get everytime! Chris changes his favorites up and tries new things but I love the Zuppa! Then we went to UP mall where I swore there was a Steve & Barry's...of course there wasn't. Chris did know where it was at but never said anything he just watched me walk around the mall like a lunatic looking for a map so I could buy some Bitten clothes. After about 30 minutes we made it to real Steve & Barry's location. Bitten is the line by Sarah Jessica Parker, I found a totally cute Pencil Skirt and Jacket, but I decided to just buy some Jeans from DEAR by Amanda Bynes- though I should have bought the skirt and jacket since the entire store was $8.97 or less.
I had to shop fast because we were in a hurry to get to Shipshewana on the road and I wanted to save my allowance incase there was some things I wanted there. We parked for free up the road and since there was only 30 minutes left we had to walk the booths quickly. Things were quite a bit more expensive than I thought they would be. So we didn't purcahse anything. Shipshewana on the road is like a traveling flea market.... It's actually going to be stoppin in Kokomo the same weekend as the Supercross so we are planning to stop and actually shop then.
Okay so this wasn't so quick but I'm done.

"Oh, How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By Chris!
Tonight we have just hung out. We were thinking we should have rented a movie because there is nothing on TV to watch. Chris said we would have something to do if Brent and Amanda would have extended their babysitter needs this way- Hey we got a PASTARRRRRRRIFIC and some cool Margarita places too. I had my first EDU test tonight. I think I did alright. I'm pretty sure I pulled a crapper on my essay because I think I mixed Bandura's Theory with Vygotsky's Theory. Though I was the last one left taking the test, my essay was 2 pages instead of the minimum requirement of 2 paragraphs, so maybe she won't REEEEAAAAALLLY read it all. :)
I got an invite today to a Papmered Chef's Party in Georgetown next weekend. This is for my friend Jamie- she was like the best of best friends in Junior High. (Megan too) we were a crazy trio! I'm pretty sure we are going to the party because I really want to see the Hundleys! They were like a second family- you know the one where you spend more than 2/3rd's of your summer and every weekend at. I got SOOOOO many memories there- I'll write about them after the party next weekend. (I know, I know- the suspense may be too much for some of you, but I'm sorry you'll just have to wait. :)
Hey Hey! I'm going to be closing this out here for the night but I just want to say- MY MOM's ON TV! ....okay maybe it's not her- but the lady has the same name! So now I was on Who's Line is it anyway and my mom is a News Anchor for Fox News. Betcha ya didn't know that.
And I apologize that spell check is still not working and I'm too lazy to re-read it carefully.

When the cats away....
Sunday we had a meet up at Chuck E Cheese in Lafayette. It was a blast!
I spent most of the playin' time with Austin. We won 96 tickets! The girls worked together and they won 610 tickets. That may sound like Austin and I did a really poor job but Austin is a penny pincher and he took home more tokens than he spent! Devon cried just when I looked at him! I was told he was a little sick but when it was time to leave, he screamed and screamed because he didn't want to go. So I'm thinking that he has a hard time remembering me. :( After a few attempts to snatch him from Casi he finally comes around...until he sees her. Lots more pictures on the photo site.
Dad was actually driving near Lafayette that night. So Chris and I went to McAllister's Deli and worked. I studied for my EDU test and he wrote his trip report for work. We both got finished just before Dad called and said he was there. So Chris jumped in the semi and took it for a drive ...a drive about 40 miles long to the rest stop where dad was gonna be sleeping. He said he likes the automatic- I think next time it's my turn to drive it... :)

Still Catching Up - Sunday
After church, we went straight to the movies to watch 27 dresses as I mentioned in a previous post- it is finally on the 5 buck club list. Of course we should have eaten lunch first because we ended up buying popcorn, nachos and drinks! We both thought is was a funny movie. Of course everytime I see Katherine Heigl (spelling?) I'm always thinking of My Father The Hero in the back of my mind and that movie has me laughing everytime I watch it. So perhaps I am a little bias.
After the movie we came home to eat the left overs and get ready for the big game! I got online and remembered that I never finished my One Tree Hill video and Monday was the last day for submissions! So I worked frantically on that while Chris made his chip dip. I worked just before kick off then ran up stairs to Mike and Angela's for the game. When Chris asked to borrow their crock pot, remember we have only the bare, bare essentials going on right now, Mike asked what we were planning with it- then he invited us up. We watched the game with them and Mikes Cousin and friend Reggie. It was a nail bitter but HURRAY! the Giants won and we were all excited that another Manning got to take the Patriots down! :) Reggie and Chris were both wearing Colts jersery's. I was going to add the pictures but like spellcheck, it is not working at the moment. I will try again after I curl my hair for work.

Videos I told the girls I would post
Chris is sledding inthe first clip. The second clip is a bit longer! It has Austin sledding and calling for help because he is about to hit the fence and then it follows me on my journey to not snow boarding! I did try it a few more times later on in the fun. The next one is of Chris and Austin coming down the hill and Austin is trying to eat the snow hitting his face! Funny stuff. Enjoy.
