Here we go, Ladies and Gentlemen..

Here. We. Go.

I started full-time student teaching today. 

I will be working full time at the store AND full time student teaching for the next two weeks.

Insane. 

I will say though, that I love being in the classroom full time. 

Love it. 

It just reminds me that this is where I'm supposed to be. Even with all of the challenges I face in that school, it's where I'm supposed to be.

So, this past weekend was sort of Jamie and I's last hurrah, and it was great.

Saturday morning we got up and made pancakes, yum! And then we both went to work until midnight. 

When I got home, he said, "We should go out." 

To which i readily replied "Yeah!"

I don't think he expected that, but he followed through. 

So, we went to Claddagh's, Howl at the Moon, and then Steak and Shake.

It was so fun.

But, we didn't get home until 4 AM.

So, needless to say, we slept in on Sunday.

I was feeling a little under the weather, anyway. 

After I crawled out of bed and took some Tylenol, 

we took a bike ride!

We put on earmuffs, gloves, and coats, and rode around our edition and the edition across the street.  

It was great, but also reminded me of just how out of shape I am.

And that is REALLY out of shape.

Yikes.

Then, Sunday night, I watched one of our pre-streets, called "Get Low"

Pre-streets are movies that are at the store before they go on the shelves. 

It's a lovely little perk of working at Family Video.

"Get Low," however, was one of the best movies I've seen in a while. I love small, independent titles, and this was a great one. 

Seriously, it was absolutely wonderful. I was really, really impressed, and I would recommend it to all.

And, I'm really excited, because there were TWO previews of movies that I think look awesome!

I have also found a new musical love. 

Dum da da dum!

Florence + the Machine.

They are awesome.

I bought their CD "Lungs" and it is awesome. I just love her voice. 

This is the video from their most famous release "Dog Days are Over."

Just a warning, the video is VERY eccentric, so please don't let that turn you off of the song. 

Because it's awesome.

And there's some good news around here!

Minnie's ears are finally getting better!

The white little spots on the tips of her ears are where the sores were. They have scabbed over and healed, which makes me a really, really happy woman. 

She's pretty happy too, I can tell. 

Well, I'm off to do the last little bit of homework I have before biggest loser.
