Google Earth

Google Earth is awesome. I could just stop there and let that be my entire post, but I think I will elaborate a little. Google Earth awesome because it is going to help me plan my adventures in Europe. I have started placing "thumbtacks" all over the map. I have put yellow ones in the cities that I will stay in as "home bases." In these cities I will find people to stay with and start my day trips from. I've also put green thumbtacks in the cities where I already know people. There are more yellow tacks then green ones, but that's ok.

Google Earth is awesome because now I have a visual picture of where I want to go. Before the thumbtacks were in place, I was just looking all over at the cities, but now I have something to focus on. It's a good thing.

My weekend was good. It could have been more productive though. On Friday I went to the library and got travel books. Then I went to XA. On Saturday, I donated (sold) plasma, went to lunch and the library again, and went to storage. At storage I took a handful of pictures of the things I'm going to sell on craigslist. Then I went to bookman's to sell my movie collection. They didn't like many of them though. Oh well... I'll post the rest on craigslist too. Then I babysat from 4-10:30p. Sunday I sold a headboard from my storage unit, went to church, then lunch, and then went home. This is where I said I could have been more productive. I didn't do laundry, work on lesson plans, or organize my junk in the living room. I played on the computer and IMed Allison. Actually I did work on my JVC application, so that was good. Then I went to Cole's 1st birthday party. I felt a bit out of place. But that's what happens when your the only one in the whole house that doesn't have a kid or two. Then I came home did my lesson plans for today, though I should have done more, and went to bed.

I don't have to work tonight. Which is good because I've been overworking myself, and bad because I want the money. After I finish teaching at 3p I am going to rush over the the XA building, the Hub, and meet up with everyone. We are going to go work at a soup kitchen for a few hours. After that I am going to go work out at the gym for an hour. I haven't done cardio in over a month and I feel gross. Then I will go home, eat, do my lesson plans for tomorrow, and then go to bed. Actually, now that I think about it, the season premier of Heroes may be on, and since I wont get to watch the show because I usually work Mondays 4-9p this could be a special treat!

I gotta run! I don't want to be late for another exciting day of teaching.
