Today I was credited for last weeks pact, which put me over the $10 mark. According to the app I should receive my money by tomorrow!

My door was frozen shut AGAIN today! We need to figure out how to make that NOT happen, because I'd really like to be able to get in on the weekend when the computer lab isn't open...

The cookbooks I bought about a month ago or so which we're such a big hit with the kids? Well today I had the fifth grade teacher and his assistant negotiating who was going to check out which one. 
Then when we went to the computer lab for the kids to work on their projects, they were going through one of them and I heard one say, "this is the one I checked out - you got your own!" 
I also introduced the book Wonder by Palacios (sp?) today to the fifth graders. Lots of lit up eyes - especially after I mentioned that if they liked the book The One And Only Ivan, that they'd really like this one. I may need to get a few extra copies of this one judging from their interest level...

My Kinders finished recording their book today. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I need to add some kind of picture to the title page, and then I'll share it here with you too. It is really cute.

I couldn't sleep last night, so I watched a newly added b-disaster flick called Post Impact on Netflix. It was pretty good overall.
It got pretty warm here today - nearly in the 40's although its supposed to be really chilly this weekend with highs in the low 20's. Brrr!

I talked to our payroll person today, and figured out why my YTD on the pay stub was so weird. Last year (first six months of 2012) I was still being paid at the higher first year rate ( pay divided by 22 instead of 26) I don't know why I didn't think of that! She also told me that I can just inter office memo her my updated w-4 deductions form - which is good because it is hard to get to the main office before they close.
Cashed out GymPact and funnies :)

Good job on getting the kids interested in books. That's going to serve them well as they get older, if the interest can be maintained.

Heh!
Thanks CCF.

Hope you like it! I have watched just about every b-disaster movie on Netflix streaming, so was happy to see one I *hadn't* seen yet.

GymPact is an app on a smartphone (Apple or Android.) You make a commitment or pact saying you'll work out a certain number of times within a week. This can either be at a non-home gym or something outside (at least 2mph) for at least 30 minutes. Part of the pact is that you make a bet of sorts - so if you end up NOT fulfilling your pact, then you pay ($5/not met day up to $50 - depends on what you put.) However, if you DO fulfil your pact, YOU get paid. The amount depends on how many days you said you'd exercise and on how many other users didn't meet their pacts that week. My average has been around $.44/day so far.
