I Nearly Missed Class Today
I could've sworn that my Physics teacher informed the class last Friday of the upcoming three day Labor Day weekend. Talk about wishful thinking! See, it was a crrrrrrraaaazy weekend and I was seriously looking forward to a class-free Monday. I even slept in an extra 30 minutes this morning and took my time getting out of bed and even made the bed! I lazied my way into the kitchen and washed a mountain of dishes. I started to boil some water for our morning French-pressed coffee and then sat down to check my email.
I casually sent an email to my boss telling him that I'd be able to run some extra errands for work today since it's a holiday and all. I thought that he was really out of it when he responded with 2 words: "What holiday?". I looked at my calendar and was flabbergasted. Turns out, I'm really out of it. I didn't see the words I expected to see in the box labeled August 25th. But Labor Day is supposed to be today... isn't it? I mean, Doug and I just went to REI's Labor Day Sale yesterday... but then wait... I turned the calendar page to September. Hooooooooooly Shiiiiiiit!
I went into full-fledged panic as I read "Labor Day" marked for September 1. Right on time, just as the panic set it in, the steam kettle blew its whistle. Shit! I only had an hour to brush my teeth, wash my face, change into something civilized, burn the roof of my mouth with scalding coffee, wolf down some breakfast, drive to school, look for parking and speed walk to class.
Well, I made it to class on time. How in the world did I do that? I prioritized and didn't brush my teeth. Nor did I wash my face nor comb my hair, nor drink coffee nor eat breakfast. I threw on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a sweater and slipped into my Crocs. I kissed Doug and the canine kids goodbye and grabbed my backpack as I fled out the door. I made it to school on time, thank god, even with a few minutes to spare. I felt like a crazy woman with morning breath and serious bed head, but I did it.
Okay, completely off topic: In the world of cute shoes, I have some news that I'm excited to share with you. I scored two pairs of shoes last weekend, one of them for 19 bucks (thanks to a tip from Chez Shoes)! I will post with pictures, sooner than later, I hope. Oh, I'd much rather blog than study. Sniff...

Danielle, do you have REI in Portland? If so, they're having a ginormous Labor Day Sale! They even had the Sienna MJs for $25 (not in my size though). Oh, and yes -- they are comfy awesome!
Weak mattress... hee hee...
