Sleeping late on a Saturday

I got a break for a few minutes so I thought I would write a little bit. Things are pretty crazy right now. We finally got the program done for the conference. That is a big relief. I won't have to harass any more exhibitors or speakers. It's hard to believe it's less than three weeks away.

Taylor and I have been hitting the gym pretty hard for the past three weeks. Surprisingly it really isn't a chore going everyday. We have just made it a routine. I feel better during the day and I'm starting to see some results. I actually weighed the other day and I actually broke the sub-200 mark. I believe it was 198.6 lbs. We still have a long way to go. It weird that Taylor, Chad, and I weigh about the same thing and we had 3 very different body shapes. We like working out there. The staff there at Planet Fitness is really nice. I think we made a good investment. Their membership is really increasing but we like going late night so we don't really run into the crowds.

Class is going well I guess. The 28 year old Dr. Sanders is a piece of cake. He seems so nervous up there sometimes, especially when the old guy behind me corrects him or brings up a thought he hasn't brought up. If I don't get an A in this class, I'm an idiot. Anyone that is reading this is allowed to call an idiot if I do worse than an A. Hold me to it!

I bought tickets last week to the Sara Bareilles/Cary Brothers/Joshua Radin/Ingrid Michaelson/Christopher Denney concert. WHAT A LINEUP! I'm pretty pumped. I think a ton of Faulkner folks are going. I'm pretty sure Sara is going to ask me to travel around with her the rest of her career. I'm putting a lot of eggs in that basket.

I'm pressing Shuffle All on the Zune to see what the first song is. This will determine my mood the rest of the day...alright...here it is...and the winner is...Saturday by Marc Broussard. Nicely done. I think I make it through the day now. I just wish I was sleeping late now.

Whistle while you work

Well the holidays have come and gone and it is freaking 75 degrees outside right now...ridiculous! My teeth are KILLING me because I just started wearing my retainer again last night. I was a bad kid and didn't take the advice of Dr. Foch Smart after my braces came off. And if you're wondering, his name is Foch Smart, that's right, Foch that sounds like crotch. Anyway, I noticed my teeth were moving and I can't have that. I hope it's not too late. I'm a lot of pain so I feel like they're doing something. Lunch might be out of the question for me today.

Hanna left the Wiginton family on Sunday. It was a sad day. Hanna is the foreign exchange student from Germany that stayed with my family for the semester. Her and Kayla are about the same age. I never thought that a FES would mesh as well with the family as Hanna did. She never got in an argument with mom and dad, she always did her housework, and she was just as laid back as all of us. She really did become like an 8th member of the family. Kayla is planning on going to Germany this summer to spend time with her and Hanna's mom said that she would be back to visit. Dad is hoping he can get her at Faulkner in about 3 years.

I went to the house last night to watch the National Championship game. The SEC was well represented again against Ohio State. The crowd started chanting "SEC, SEC" at the end of the game and it was awesome!

I'm trying to finish registering for my master's at AUM. I think classes start tomorrow. I hate school...
