Late night tidbits

I want to blog, but I don't know what to say. Hubby is no help as he suggests blogging about boobies! Boys. So here we go:

The Good:
1. Teaching my 5th grade class at our communion class this morning. They are are a great class and we had a wonderful turnout of both kids and parents. And whenever I can get the parents to listen and talk it is a good day.

2. Despite it being Saturday I stayed at work and finished some pressing work. Work still is going to be hard this week but I'm feeling more on top of the piles. Yay!

3. I also went back to the gym after missing Wed (my normal day off), Thurs and Friday. Hard but it was good to go.

The Bad:
1. Getting up EARLY to go play trumpet for Palm Sunday (in addition to all the normal Sunday School stuff).

2. I'm still a bit concerned about getting hubby's crud, and would like to avoid it if possible.

3. The Laundry! Can't someone do SOMETHING about the Laundry! For the love of all things holy, its ALIVE! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The Geeky:
1. Dear Dr. Mahr, the 2001 recording of the St. Olaf Band playing the Liberty Bell March is not at the standard 120 beats per minute but more along the lines of 140 bpm making it very hard to elliptic to it.

2. What is the verb form of the elliptical machine anyway? Elliptic? Ellipticalled? Any suggestions? It seems like it would be cool verb.

3. Hubby thinks its odd that I timed my pi day post for the exact "time" of pi. But that isn't weird is it? Just attention to detail. After all how many numbers get a whole day.

Upcoming blog topics:
1. Cheesy 70s church movies and baking.
2. The media of fat
3. Holy Week and working for the church.

Well, it is way past my bedtime now and it has been a LONG day. Good night blogland, and here are two questions for you to help me with....

1. What is one thing you do to cope with a long overnight airplane ride?
2. What is one thing besides your passport that you wouldn't go on a long trip with?

Whoseurdaddy? says the best way to cope on a long overnight flight is to go to the Dr. and get a prescription for Ambien and sleep. Take some light reading, and it would be best if they were cheap paperbacks that you could leave to lighten your load as the trip progressed. I also used to catch up on back issues of SI (which you could also leave behind as you finished them).

take an ambien or a nyquil or something, and doze it out, if possible. the last long flight i had i couldn't sleep the whole time and it was miserable. so i suggest avoiding my mistake and bringing along something to actively help you snooze.

I must know, "Cheesy 70s church movies and baking" ... could it be Grandma's Bread, by any chance? ;)

My stand-by for a long trip are 1) Dramamine, because it puts me to sleep without fail, and 2) earplugs, because it helps me to sleep and block out the asinine conversations around me. Oh, and 3) my cushy little travel pillow; it's a life saver.

I don't travel without my little travel pillow. It's actual name is the Wife Pillow, because John bought it for me on Mother's Day one day, which he renamed Wife Day. It's soft and comforting, and I can't sleep without it.

A friend of mine used "ellipt" as a verb a few blog posts ago... I like that.

I hope that everything goes smoothly this week!!

Hmmm... ear plugs, eye mask.
Bottle of water, food to munch on, book to read. :)

Sounds like I'm in the majority...ear plugs, eye mask, something to drink, snack!

I also love that your DH thought you should blog about boobies! I'm certain if I asked Jay, he'd tell me to blog about my butt!
