Tomorrow is my last day of summer vacation before school starts.
We have a week of preparations, and then the kiddos.
Just thought you all would like to know.

Time Flies When You Work in the Summer
I realize my past three posts have been about websites. I'm in a sort of rut, I guess. So I thought I'd try and bust out by posting what's been going on with me.
Summer vakay is still in full swing. The plus side is I get time to recover from my first year of teaching. The downside is I have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much time on my hands. Yeah, sure, I read a lot, and see movies and go dancing, but each of those activities is only a few hours long, and last time I checked a day has 24 hours...at least. I realize by publishing this statement I sound like a whiney baby, but I've finally realized that loads of free time is not what I want. I want to be gainfully employed, but balance that with times of rest too.
On a different note, one of the books I'm reading is called True Faced and it's written by three men at my church. It's basically about dropping the masks that we put on for ourselves to try and convince others and God that we are fine. This book is about learning to be fine with not being fine, but mostly about letting others see us and love us when we are not fine, and baring our not-fineness to those who want to love us.
It's really making me think about how real I've been with people. And I think to some extent I've been a little real with people, as I've gradually become more in touch with who I am. However I definitely think I have some masks that I didn't even know about. I'm a little uncomfortable when I read this book because I feel like it's pointing a big, fat finger at me, but I think that's good because that means I'm being stretched.

I Need a Red Paper Clip
If only I could embark on a journey like this. I would be a homeowner in a year! And meet celebrities!

Where Have All the Homestarrunners Gone?
This post was originally meant to be a lament on the absence of the one remnant of my college days. Where has Homestarrunner gone? For a month and a half?!
Yes, I still check this website, and though I feel a sneaking suspicion that I may soon be outgrowing Homestarrunner, I will hold out as long as I can.
Anyways, to my overwhelming joy and surprise I went to Homestarrunner.com today and there is a new cartoon!
Check it out. No seriously...check it out.
