Hannah Lately.

My first blog post!

I've had a really productive day. I took today and the rest of the week off of teaching to go on vacation but the plans changed, so I am just in Logan catching up on some housework. I usually have the temptation of sleeping in because most days I don't teach until the afternoon. But I made myself get up early today and take Jake to school. Then this is what I did the rest of the day:

1. Went to the gym and worked out for about an hour. I've got to try and remember to NOT go to the gym at 8:30 AM because all that was on TV was food and cooking shows. Why would I want to watch that while exercising? I actually don't like watching food on TV ever. Luckily at 9:00 "The Price is Right" came on. I don't like those people who bid one dollar higher than the last person, it's mean. If I went on the show I would be nicer.

2. Came home and started cleaning. Our bedroom was ridiculously messy. I mean really. One of my biggest problems is that once a room gets a little messy, I let myself go and throw all my clothes on the ground for the next week until I clean it again. I rearranged everything, including moving the bed all by myself! I went through some old boxes of Jake's stuff and found some cute things he collected growing up. After cleaning the bedroom for about 2 hours I rearranged some stuff in Jake's office for another 2 hours. Then I took a cat nap until Jake came home.

3. After Jake came home I took a much needed break, ate some lunch, and watched some "Friends". Today Monica broke up with Richard, so sad. I fell asleep on the couch and meant to wake up to make some dinner for Jake, but he woke me up at about 6:00 and had made some spaghetti! He has a huge accounting test tomorrow so the fact that he took a break and made us dinner was so nice.

I guess only part of my day was productive, but for a day off I would consider it a success. :)

When I was cleaning my room I found my Raggedy Anne, which my mom made for me when I was 4. My dad embroidered this on her:

I don't really like putting pictures up of our bedroom (I guess I just don't want people seeing where I sleep, I don't know, haha) but I did rearrange our living room too! I used to teach my younger students in a big arm chair but it was difficult to play in and they're all getting too tall! So I bought a tall chair to sit with some of my older students during their lessons. I assembled it all by myself, I'm kind of proud. :) Here's a picture of my new teaching corner:
