Seymour Strikes Back.

I felt as though I needed to post this for any non-believers out there. Seymour is almost as tall as Gavyn. That is scary. By the way, I feel obligated to tell you that the first picture of Seymour that I revealed to you was taken on March 31st. So it has been a week since then, but really, it has at least doubled, if not tripled in size since then. I know, I'm ridiculous - I'm posting about our little friend two days in a row. Have no fear, it will all come to an abrupt end tomorrow at approximately 10:00 am.

My Mom invited us over for a delicious homemade asian-style meal tonight and we thankfully declined so that we could come home, lounge on the couch, eat leftover chili, and watch endless episodes of The Office via Netflix on our XBOX 360.

Tomorrow I'll be venturing into the art of roast beef making. I've made so many meals ten times more complicated, and I even have the ingredients to make the roast (I buy rump roast to make my Italian Beef Sandwiches in the slow cooker), but had yet to delve into the roast beef making realm.

I was thinking of a few great benefits of being a teacher today that I'd like to share: 1) Only working 9 months out of the year = being able to spend more time with family. 2) Possibly being able to work on my photography and even pick up a few gigs over the summers. 3) Awesome hours, excellent benefits, guaranteed retirement.



If you think that the journal to the right is as amazing as I do, then you should visit Somewhat Voluble and look into entering for a chance to win it! It's made of leather and suede and I mean, just look at it! It's beautiful! The contest ends on March 17th at 12:00 pm EST.

This reminds me of how much of a slacker I've become in regards to keeping any type of personal journal. I always opt to update online because it's easier and faster to type, but it's so much more personal to write. I've always said that one day I'll print out all of my online entries and put them into a notebook. Seeing as I started my LiveJournal in 2004, I'm assuming that's going to take up a little bit of paper. Anyhow, James finally caught up on The Office, so I'm off to rot my brain by watching TV and vegging out with my boys for the rest of the night. Ciao.

I don't think you can follow me since I use wordpress. BUT I use Google Reader to read all of the blogs I like (it updates each time they post), and it's really convenient.

I live in Tennessee, about an hour north of Chattanooga. (It takes me 2-3 hours to get to Nashville.) I love it here.

Wordpress just automatically lets me do the category things like that, so I have no idea, haha!

Yay for mentioning my contest. Those journals are pretty awesome! Oh, and that plant/weed is HUGE!

Oh, wait! I do have a google account, so I think you can follow me that way? Not sure, but it's SomewhatVoluble@gmail.com, and I followed you!

Hmm, I can't follow you because you don't have a blog. Do you prefer WordPress to Blogger? Is it free to have your own domain? I want to go to Tennessee so badly, I've heard it's beautiful!
