a little bit of this & a little bit of that

Patrick is home ;)  He ventured north on the megabus ~ and we picked him up this afternoon near CSU.  It's good to see him & see that he looks good & happy & enjoying college.
That makes me happy!

Funny school story:
I had a student come up to me 7th period and say, "Mrs. Barton, my zipper is broken."  I check out the situation and observe that his t-shirt is more than long enough to hide any zipper problems, so I say, "Just pull down your t-shirt.  It'll be ok."  {I also know that we only have to make it the rest of the period & he'll be headed out to change into his XC clothes anyway.}  He looks at me kinda funny and repeats, "But my zipper is broken."  I repeat, "Just pull your shirt down; it'll be ok."  He continues to look at me funny and I continue to look at him funny and we repeat this conversation 3 or 4 times.  I can't figure out what this kid wants!  Then he says, "The zipper on my binder."  I just bust up laughing...as does the student.  I was so embarassesd & so was he.

Running ~ had a hard 8 miler today...my mind is not quite right & I'm getting that 'tightness' in my chest.  I bought some medication {yeah for Muscinex} so I'm praying that I'm not getting sick & this is allergies & that it goes away.  It's not fun to be aware of your breathing while you are running.  It makes it harder...
I'm excited & pretty nervous.
I have my playlist already on my iPod.
I've been checking the weather since it came on the 10 day forcast yesterday...so far cloudy, high 68, low 48.  perfect.
