5 Positive things about today

1. It’s a cooold morning and I am wrapped in a blanket with a cup of hot Starbucks

2. My house is clean and everyone is helping to keep it that way. I don’t know if an invisible motivation fairy came through in the middle of the night, but everyone is concerned with garbage and clutter all of a sudden… YAY!

3. I got new reading glasses. The dog chewed up my old ones about 1.3 seconds after I set it on the table outside. Aaron picked these new ones out and says they aren’t as dorky as my old ones. Thanks dear.

4. I have a weird excitement about starting school next week. I have always loved the first day of school. I am even excited that I am taking Math… a real Math too! Not even Math for Retards! The beginning of school is when you get the new binder with all the new tabs and you make sure to keep everything organized and nice… and by week 3 you already have crumpled papers in the bottom of your backpack… Let’s see how long I can stay organized, this will be my first semester of school where I will not be working.

5. Speaking of school, my lovely step dad (hi Chico) is helping me clear off space on my desk by getting me this

This is what my desk looked like before…

 

See my 6 square inches of space? I got this HUGE monitor for 30.00 from an insurance company who salvaged it from a house fire. Don’t get me wrong, at the time it was a expensive monitor with the big screen and it only had smoke damage and works great (if anyone wants it, email me & you can have it) but I can’t do my homework at my desk. I always ended up using the floor or my bed to lay out my books and papers. Thanks Chico! Oh, and by the way… the new monitor is from dell.com and is only 179.99 (after a small $30 rebate) it got 4.9 out of 5 stars by the people who reviewed it. Click here for all the specs. I’ll update with a new picture when the new monitor comes!
