Not sure if I really have an audience out there, but if I do, I strongly discourage you from signing up with Time Warner Cable. I've had such an awful experience with them over the past couple of weeks, I would not recommend them to anyone! I'm too lazy to type my experience with them this evening I'm just going to cut and paste what I typed on facebook.
"Time Warner Cable is officially the most incompetent company I have ever worked with. I called them to find out why they were so late and apparently someone came to my house and discovered the cable is in a neighbors yard and left. They said the neighbor wasn't home to get permission. I did not rcv a call like I was supposed to, they did not knock on my door to inform me. I have been home since 3:30 PM waiting on them. I didn't even know they were here! Now I have to wait on them again tomorrow from 4-7. RIDICULOUS!"
I didn't mention this before, but I was planning to have my cable cut off tonight, and the cable equipment picked up. I will save over $80.00 a month, so it was an easy disconnection. I don't watch it anyway. I realized this when the cable box in my living room stopped working 2 weeks ago and I never called the company to tell them about it. I still got basic cable in my bedroom without a box, so I wasn't that distraught. That's when I knew I was wasting my money. My dad gave me his HD antenna, so I can pick up a handful of channels over the air. I'm excited to get all basic news channels, in addition to, the Retro TV station and COOL TV which plays music videos and such. I also get FOX and THE CW! FOR FREE! I'm set. :) I'm really happy with my decision to cancel. I have NETFLIX and recently purchased an Xbox with the KINECT, so I'm not at a loss for entertainment. I'm going to put the extra $80.00 a month onto my car loan and hopefully I will be able to pay it off a year early. It will be nice to get rid of that payment in time for my college loan payments to begin. WooHoo! :( FML
So, I got a snow day on Friday which was super fantastic! I ended up doing laundry and cleaning, but it was nice to get it out of the way, so I could enjoy my Saturday....uh....waiting on Time Warner Cable. FML
Had a fantastic day shopping with my Aunt Dee at Sams Club. I ran into a lot of people I knew, so that was fun. I bought some snacks for my kiddos and my Aunt bought me some Krispy Kreme donuts and bagels. I don't need either of them, but she gave them to me, so I couldn't say no. :)
I'm excited to curl up on the couch tonight with a good movie and some popcorn. Church in the morning, and then who knows? Maybe some homework before Time Warner attempts to do their job again.
OH YEAH! Almost forgot....
Last weekend was quite adventurous for me! I drove to IKEA, JUNGLE JIMS and then to INDIANA to the HOLLYWOOD CASINO. It was nice to have a mini road trip. I had some "me" time and won $128.00. LOL! :)
Good times...

Growing up sucks...
At least tomorrow is Friday...that's all I have to say! I've been working on my interims all evening and I'm about to go crazy! I'm hoping to be finished before 11:00 PM, so I can at least get some sleep tonight. I'm glad I started them when I did.
I have a 3 day weekend coming up. Thank you, Martin Luther King Jr., I owe my day off to the greatness you brought to the cruel world we live in. Hopefully, many will remember your sacrifices and attempts to bring awareness of inequality to the nation. I'm sad that many still struggle, but I will continue to teach my students your legacy with the hope that someday we will all live in peace.
Watched another movie tonight before starting on my interims. The movie was called Pope Dreams. I had never heard of it before seeing it in the library...I'm a sucker for those kinds of movies.
Ate the chicken noodle soup for quite possibly the last time. It was really good, but I fear that I can't eat it again.
Wow, what a boring entry. I wish I had something more exciting to talk about. I'm sure that this is reason why I can't keep up on these entries. My days are either too boring or too buys to write. Oh well, someday I will enjoy looking back at these.
Tomorrow I will turn in my interims and weekly work report. (a new idea from the boss to track what all employees do each half-hour, for 5 days) I'm glad I only have to do it for 5 days because it was a lot of extra work. We had to write in detail how we spent the time. Tomorrow is pay day. It's not like it matters, this pay will go straight to the bank. I had to pay for my Ashland course out of pocket this semester, so I must slowly pay that back to my account.

Here we go 2011
"Most days of the year are unremarkable. They begin, and they end, with no lasting memories made in between. Most days have no impact on the course of a life."
Everyone wants to make lasting memories, but somedays are unremarkable and easy to forget. My plan is to use this place to harbor my unremarkable memories with the hope that someday these memories will become remarkable to me and others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we go 2011.
So far this year, I have...
1.) Not taken down my Christmas tree.
2.) Purchased a new touch screen cell phone with additional data plan. (Which I refused to ever do in 2010)
3.) Enjoyed the perks to new cell phone.
4.) Tried to watch The Black Swan...twice...on the same evening, but both theaters screwed up the film.
5.) Borrowed 3 books from a friends and 3 from the library. I have yet to finish any of them.
6.) Organized my pantry.
7.) Watched at least 15 movies from the library.
8.) Enjoyed a SNOW DAY off of school!
9.) Taken back my wonderful cell phone, with the intention of getting the iPhone in February.
10.) Tried to keep up on my New Year's Resolutions.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS/GOALS FOR 2011
1.) Stop eating Poptarts for breakfast.
2.) Throw out mail daily.
3.) Be honest with myself and others.
4.) Try to write online at least 3 times a week...yeah, we'll see how this goes! (considering I just started this, who knows how often I will update, but I will try)
5.) Obtain a Master's Degree in Intervention Specialist Mild/Moderate.
6.) Continue to love life and all that it has to offer.

I made some really great chicken noodle soup last night and it was even better tonight for dinner. I think I would enjoy cooking nice dinners everyday, but it's just not sensible when you live alone. That's one thing I wish was different. Sharing dinners with someone would be nice and hopefully this will be my year to meet someone to share those kinds of moments with, but for now, it's just Edward (my cat) and I. However, I'm really beginning to enjoy having some more time to myself. I feel like my life is starting to slow down and things are falling into place. Occasionally, I feel overwhelmed with work and school, but I'm learning to stop trying to please everyone all the time. It feels good to sit and read or watch a movie without feeling guilty or feeling like I should be doing something else. I don't really know how to explain it...I'm a pretty complex person. I'm only working one evening at the pizza shop, so this semester I should be able to keep my head above water.
Whelp, it's almost 1:00 AM and I should probably be getting to bed. I have to teach in the morning. :) It was pretty nice getting a snow day today. Our new governor is giving us back 5 calamity days, so I'm definitely not opposed to using them all up.
Good night.
