Happy Tuesday Fancy Oatmeal Readers!
I’ve had one day to practice getting up early this week, and the hard work has paid off. This morning I was able to get out of bed BEFORE hitting snooze a second time, and am way more productive – AKA I’ve scrolled through more Tumblr posts.
1. I had a dream last night that Dear Hubby told me he gambled away $100,000. This is really funny because in reality, we don’t have that kind of money, liquid or assets wise, to be gambled, so in my dreams we’re better off even with a 100K debt. We only told one person. This guy:
He suggested a plan, but because the gambling and debt issues were taking their toll on our marriage, Dear Hubby and I decided to appear on a therapy-style talk show, with our entire wedding party. But because it was a dream, our wedding party was filled with completely different people; people we didn’t know back in June of 2010.
Anyways, at the end of the talk show, after watching some video that was supposed to put it all into perspective, I ended seeing a music montage of just me, living back at home with my parents, walking around downtown joyfully, weight-off-my-shoulders kind of feel, and going into a college classroom. Dear Hubby nowhere to be seen. Such a strange dream.
2. There’s a grunter at our Snap Fitness.
This is how seriously annoying this guy is: I wear headphones and listen to amazing songs like”Call Me Maybe” and can still hear this guy’s bursts of rage against the machines. I’ve been there many times, when I have to give it all I’ve got to finish up my last set. However, the difference between he and I is that he does it on EVERY.SINGLE.REP. So it sounds almost pornographic in the gym at 5:30am when he shows up. I wish he would just let one loud yelp rip and get it out of his system.
I know that weight lifting is serious business and all. But if you want to be taken seriously, you have to look the part.
3. There is a table in my classroom that has been used as a graffiti testing area for what looks like five years. I have used a lot of elbow grease and Mr. Clean multi-surface cleaner to get all the BFF and love connection declarations off that I can. While I know that this is only a temporary solution, I thought I would add a personal touch it.
I had some leftover contact paper from my “Make Your Own Cleaner” phase, before realizing that it would make my entire house smell like vinegar. I had used the paper to decorate my generic spray bottles. Now I have a revamped desk that will serve as my Student Center home.



Love the table!
I’m thinking of doing the same thing to my desk that has tape residue all over the front.
