This is a continuation of yesterday’s beginning of my new eco-friendly lifestyle. No, I am not getting rid of my SUV. Take comfort in the fact that I only drive 2 miles to work. 
8/31: shut of the water while I brushed my teeth October 15, 2008
8/30: used both sides of a paper to print October 15, 2008
I am trying to be more eco-friendly. I am not the best at recycling (mainly due to the fact that I am lazy.) However I am trying to make some progress in this area and if I can make a few small changes, I will feel better about things. So my first step is to use both sides of a piece of paper to print on so that I am not being wasteful. Little steps, people!
8/29: joined the Barnes and Nobles Teacher Discount Program October 14, 2008
Being a new teacher is freaking expensive. Thank God for this discount.
8-28: felt embarrassed for the New Kids on the Block October 14, 2008
Are they that hard up for cash? Admittedly, I was not a huge fan back in the day, but I didn’t hate them either. They make me cringe now. Their combined age has got to be like 250 or something outrageous. Ick. Whoops- I cut Jonathan out of the picture. 
8-27: used a debt calculator October 14, 2008
Grad school wasn’t cheap and I ended up putting some expenses on credit cards. Now that I have a decent paycheck, I want this debt gone asap. So I added it all up and figured out how to pay it off totally in the next 2.5 years. That will be a fantastic feeling. I feel like it is hanging over my head. Dollar Dollar Bills, y’all!
8-26: met my new students September 28, 2008
I am so excited! I love my job and they seem like a great group.
8-25: got my car broken into September 28, 2008
As a city-dweller, you might be surprised that this has not happened to me before. I have lived in my condo for four years and my car has never (or anywhere else I have lived) been broken into. I was shocked to find my window smashed in, glass everywhere, and my console ripped apart. Luckily, the only thing I had in there (in the console) was my change cup and my running watch. I am so pissed. Brian, being the kind person that he is, stayed home from work (went in at noon) to get the window fixed. It was my first day of school, so I didn’t have the option of going in late.
8-24: Wendy’s twisted Frosty September 28, 2008
As if the original Frosty wasn’t good enough, now you can add M&Ms or Oreos to it. Fantastic! I chose Oreo mixed into the original chocolate Frosty.
8-23: kicked butt in Wii bowling September 28, 2008
I found the game where you knock down pins, then they add more, then you knock those down, etc. What fun!
8-22: looked at funny graphs September 28, 2008
If I find these funny, does that mean I am an adult?
