i'm currently sitting at work...my first two exercise classes did not show up...keeping my fingers crossed that the last class will come!
so far, while i've sat here i have...
- caught up on all the latest and important celebrity news by reading the newest people magazine, cover to cover.
- checked all my email accounts...and had no new emails! nothing...nada...zip!
- made a few changes to my blog...new layout (not very different from the old)...changed the color scheme...pretty exciting, eh?
- caught up on everyone's blogs
and now i'm pretty much out of things to do!
what do you do when you're bored???
update:
since i originally posted i have also:
- been 0 for 3 in people showing up for the exercise class i was supposed to teach! boo!
- created a fall conditioning plan for the softball team
- made a new form for patient charts to use at work
- talked to my mom
- flipped through the new TIME magazine
- checked my email about 25 more times...still no new mail!
i guess i'm keeping busy at being bored!
i have decided that i much rather read other people's blogs then write my own...
here is who i've been reading lately...
1. annieblogs.com- hilarious, inspiring, and encouraging! annie might just be the funniest person i don't know! :)

Twenty-two years ago I got the best present my parents could ever give me, a little sister! I am so proud of the young woman she has become. Amber is one of the most creative, talented, intelligent, and independent people I know. She is an awesome sister, friend and roommate. It is an honor and privilege to be her big sister and share life with her. I love you, Am!
i'm too busy to blog...
i know that's the lamest excuse EVER...but sadly, it's the truth...
hope to be back soon!
some very great friends of mine have had birthdays this week...
happy birthday ashley...aimee...and courtney!
hope your birthdays have been as wonderful as you all are!
i am wore out! i just got home from spending the day at our district wrestling meet!
12 hours...1 gym
14 wrestlers...9 advancing to regionals
it was awesome, but exhausting! i am so proud of my boys!
can't wait to do it all again next weekend at regionals!
you've all probably heard the news about michael phelps and his less than brilliant decision that has made headlines world wide...
i was bummed to hear the news, but sadly, not really surprised. we so quickly put people with athletic greatness or other talents on to a pedestal, elevating them above the rest of world...forgetting that they're still real people who make mistakes...then as quickly as we have exalted them, we bash them...
i read something written about the incident that really got me thinking...if you get a second, check out what cj mahaney had to say here! it definitely changed my thoughts on the situation...
for a while i've wanted to start reading more...
does reading blogs count for that?!
or does it have to be actual books...because if it is books, then i am doing a terrible job at reading more...
and speaking of terrible jobs, i'm also doing a terrible job at posting every day this month...sorry...i lied...but i do promise to try harder...
i've decided it's time i blog more...and since it's the start of a new month, it seemed logical for me to start today! my goal is to post every day this month!!
january was an exceptionally busy month in my life...which is just one of the many excuses i could come up with for not posting more regularly!
work has been crazy! we've lost a PT and gained a PT in the clinic in january, making us be a little more flexible with our schedules. but we're very excited about the new addition to our team! the school has kept me very busy...bouncing between the winter sports, girls and boys basketball and soccer, and wrestling, and the spring sports starting up, baseball, and softball! winter sports are wrapping up though (woo woo!) track is just starting too! the softball team is looking much more promising this season (thank goodness)! our first game is february 10...ahhh!
i went to a day continuing education coference in orlando saturday. it was lots of fun to see old friends...some i planned on seeing and others a pleasant surprise! i learned a lot of interesting things about functional training and the shoulder...plus got lots of great FREE stuff!!
lauren and i have been diligently training for our marathon, which is two weeks away from today! AHHHHH! we ran 24.4 miles last week and didn't die, so we're thinking we might actually survive the entire 26.2 miles on race day! i'm getting more and more excited/scared the closer it gets!
i've also taken on a new job at access church, upstreet coach! this means that every 2nd and 4th sunday of the month i help facilitate our program for elementary age students. it has been SO fun...and exhausting! the kids are great and my small group leaders are phenomenal! because of the transition from waumba land to upstreet, i've not been able to attend normal services this year. we have moved to a bigger room and now meet in the lazarra theater at unf. today was my first sunday in there and i loved it! it is so exciting to see access grow! i'm so glad to get to be a part of it!
well, that's just a little bit of what has been happening in my life lately! check back tomorrow for more!
i can hardly type this post because my fingers are so numb from the cold...not really, but almost! (sometimes i tend to be a little dramatic when it comes to cold weather) seriously though, it has been absolutely freezing here the past few days! i know that it is much colder in other places around the world, but i just feel like it should never be cold in florida! that's why i live here...to be warm...not cold! being cold might possibly be my least favorite thing to be in the whole world!
saturday, i had to run in the cold! jami, her friend amanda, and i all ran in the river road resolution 5k...it may have been one of the dumbest things we've ever done! i have never worn more clothes to run in my life! jami did great though, finishing 5 minutes faster then her last 5k and finishing 10th in her age bracket!
the only positive i can find with the arctic blast we're experiencing, is that i get to wear my two favorite international scarfs, one from spain (from lauren) and the other from south africa (from aaryn)! thank you girls for bringing some joy to my life, despite the cold temperatures!!
