Alas, I am no closer to finishing Liar's Game. However, my husband and I got tickets to a screening of Green Lantern showing tonight. That means that you will have a review tomorrow...it just won't be a jdorama review. I'm sure you will forgive me. On an unrelated note, I'm having skin problems yet again. Time to look at epiduo or something. Maybe I'll finally give that Proactive stuff a try. Anyone ever use that?
It's how long?!
I really truly thought that I would finish Liar's Game yesterday so that I could have a review for you today. Then I found out that the final episode is something like 2 1/2 hours long instead of the normal 45 - 90 minutes. At this rate, I won't be able to finish it until Wednesday! Who thought they needed to recap the entire series? So, I apologize. You will need to wait a few more days for my review. While you wait, go browse some funny tshirts. Maybe they will help you pass the time.
A tired Monday
I didn't really do all that much this weekend. So why am I so exhausted? I'd love to go home and relax in a nice warm bath sea salt soak followed by a long nap. Instead, I will crunch numbers and send emails and try to keep awake until the end of the work day. Why must Mondays be so difficult?
Barefoot but not
You know, for someone that doesn't like shoes a whole lot, I spend an awful lot of time looking at them. My husband and I recently picked up a pair of Fila Skele-toes, which are similar to '5-finger' shoes but there are only 4 slots for the toes to go in. The two smallest toes go in one slot together. The shoes are pretty comfortable but they do take a little getting used to and the women's shoes that I got aren't as cool looking as his. My shoes are grey and pink and look a lot like water shoes. I think I might like them better if they were all black, like my husband's. The goal of the shoes is to be as close to walking barefoot without actually being barefoot. However, the sole of the shoe is hard instead of soft. I like it though. When I step on a rock, I know that I've stepped on something but it doesn't poke through enough to hurt my foot. If you're into the barefoot thing and don't want to spend a ton of money on the Vibrams, this is a good place to start.
Favorite Friday
It is graduation season. The graduation invitations have already gone out. (I hope they have at least!) The kids are worrying about final exams or restlessly finishing out the last few days of high school. In honor of graduation, I give you the best advice song ever. It may sound really cheesy but take it to heart kids! Stay young!
Tracking receipts
Now that I'm teaching Zumba, I have to keep track of my related receipts for tax purposes. I wonder if I should use Royal Imaging document scanning and keep them in a virtual file instead of putting them in a folder or something. It would definitely be easier than trying to remember where I put the physical receipts. I'll have to look into the costs for it. It just might be doable.
It's not summer yet!
Despite not officially being summer yet, we are at the beginning of our second heat wave of the year. It is expected to be so hot that some of the area schools are dismissing students early. My daughter's school isn't currently on the list but today is their last full day of school anyway. They only have three half days left after today. While I do love the summer, I like it when it gradually gets warmer. It sucks when it goes from 60 to 90 overnight. (Note to self: Buy cheap sunglasses. The sun glare hurts during the drive to/from work.) If we're lucky, this will be a short heat wave. I'd like it to be over by next weekend. That is the date of our dance recital. Recital sucks when it's a million degrees out. It can get hot again after recital.
School is almost over
Yesterday was Field Day at my daughter's school. She did OK. Our family isn't really the 'jock' type though. One of the other classes seemed to have all the jocks so they pretty much won everything. (There's three classes for each grade.) My daughter had fun and, really, that is all that matters. As an aside, I'd like to mention that sometimes it annoys me that TV stations have moved from analog tv to digital. We have a TV at work but we don't have cable or satellite or anything like that. We used to just use the analog signal. Then we had to get a digital converter box. Now some of the channels randomly pop in and out. Sometimes we'll get a channel, sometimes we won't. It's annoying.
Favorite Friday
I love the Discovery show "How It's Made." I don't watch it nearly as often as I'd like. Mostly because I never remember when it's on. Anyway, today's (late) Favorite Friday is how ball bearings are made. It's pretty interesting. For some reason, these shows always make me think of the episodes of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood where he would go to a factory or something and show the kids the 'behind the scenes' stuff. It's Mr. Rogers for grown-ups!
Full time Zumba dream
I am currently stuck between a rock and a hard place. I would really love to teach Zumba full time. It is so much fun that it doesn't even seem like work. Unfortunately, I can't do that until I can make more money from my classes. I can't teach more classes because I have to keep working full time. I have been looking for a new full time job that will, hopefully, allow me to teach more often but there's a lot of management jobs listed, which isn't what I want. I'm going to keep working hard though. One day I will prevail.
