I forgot my favorite thing over the weekend yesterday. My friends and I had an impromptu Happy Hour at a house that turned into a potluck, bonfire and bocce.  Yesterday, I got a pedicure!  Nothing better than having your feet sandal ready!

I had some good vegetarian pasta dish. Very yummy.

I had MANY students turn in and ask for work.  It led to a crazy 7th and 8th hour, but it was nice to see them working!

Ashley and I were gaming last night. It's called Yoshi's Wooly World where the art style looks like everything is knitted. It's cute and it's a more casual game difficulty so we can play it together and not hate each other.

My best friend and I had a nice workout together! Enjoyed talking "adult" with their potential of buying a new home!

We had a meeting for helping my parents buy a new computer (there's is really old) and we played SkipBo. I've never had a game that got THAT close in the end. It was like watching the super bowl come down to one final hail mary!

I appreciate the sense of humor that many of our students have and share with us; as well as staff and family, too!

I had my last Zoom class with one of my SMSU classes.  It was probably the most enjoyable one I've taught.  Low enrollment allowed us to really do some in-depth work on Health, which I combined with technology resources.
