Just a quick post before class

Yay I am so excited! Erika left comments on my blog! That is so cool. Thanks Erika. You are the bomb. I need to e-mail you. Don't worry I will soon :) So I had a wonderfully long weekend. I ended up having Monday off as well, so I had a four day weekend! Yay.
Friday I cleaned the house (as usual.) And then worked on a bunch of stuff for my sunday school class, and ran some errands. Made pizza for dinner and then what I did after that escapes me. Saturday was really nice b/c we went to Northwest Coffee Co. Our most favorite coffee shop. Anytime we go anywhere else we are disappointed and end up saying, why didn't we just go to Northwest? We drank the best Americanos in town and ate pastries, and read MAD magazine (reading material was limited). Then we went to Good Will and St. Vincents, which are both just a couple blocks away. I found a super cute Old-Navy summer (brand-new) dress ($4.50), and J. Crew jeans ($4.00). I was hoping to find a Shamrock cookie-cutter so I could make Shamrock sugar cookies, but no such luck. I made sugar cookies anyway (heart-shaped) with green frosting. They were so good we ate them in two days. Anyway, then we came home and just hung out doing basically nothing the rest of the day. It was so nice because that is the first time we have been able to go to Northwest on a Saturday morning and do nothing all day, for a long long time. Plus on Saturday I was looking for a video-game on the Internet, and happened to find out that this game that Brooke and Ira gave us a few years ago (Marvel vs. Capcom 2) is worth a lot of money. So I checked it on e-bay and it was selling for up to 115 dollars! I was so excited. I know hardly anything about e-bay, but I put ours up for bid anyway, hoping to become rich! So far it is only up to $31, but there is still three days left to go. I doubt it will sell for much, but I am really hoping it will.

Do you ever get temporarily obsessed with something when you find out or learn something new that is really cool? Well, that is how I get anyway. So I got into that obsessive mode after finding out our video-game was worth something. I spent all of Sunday afternoon looking up our junk on e-bay to see if it was worth anything. I even dreamt about e-bay all night. I dreamt I was at my parents house giddily thinking about all the stuff they have that I could sell. Now it has basically worn off, but that doesn't mean I am not checking to see if anyone has bid on our item 10 times a day!
That is how I was when I decided I wanted to start a blog. All I could think about was what I would write and what I would put on there and blah blah blah. Of course I had to convince Jonathan to get me Internet first. I think he got it for me just so I would shut-up about it. I am such a dork.

Since I didn't do much homework over the weekend, that is all I have done the past few days. For my children's literature class we have to read kids' books from different genres and then write a review on them and come up with a lesson to do with them. Anyway I have done 11 so far and I am getting so sick of it! The good news though, I got nine of them back on Monday and I got 100 on every single one. So I was glad about that. I had two due today, and I just barely got them done. Well I better go I have class in thirty minutes.
