This is Sparta!

So I went to class, I usually get there early enough to get a decent parking stall and today I decided that I would park backwards to get out those 4 seconds faster (time is money).  In my parking endeavor I readjusted out of common courtesy a couple of times to ensure that any other people trying to get decent parking stalls would be alright with opening the door and having the convenience of space surrounding their bubble to get in and out of the vehicle.. you get the picture.
I come out to my car, and although Mr. Truck you are in your stall, You are too close.  As you can tell in the picture ( which I take for those who think I make this stuff up) I have a full body shadow in between the line and my car.  I still struggled to get in and out of my car, which still took away those four seconds I was trying to save.


The other fun activities of the day were the blessing of getting my promotion at work a couple weeks earlier than I was expecting or hoping for. #HUGEBLESSING So, as part of the reward system in place we went to the arcade with some friends and did some basketball shooting and dance dance revolution and tried the stupid machine that you use the claw of doom and never get the stuffed animal (while the stupid teenagers before you got lucky and DID get the stuffed animal and sat around watching you laughing that YOU seem so incompetent to be able to grab the stupid animal) they got lucky anyways, and then finished the night with Frozen the cute little movie. I had never seen it but my nephews are pretty good at singing the songs so now we can sing them together.


Then finally, to a little bit of a throwback and an inside story. (Kind of like an inside joke but I'll do my best to fill y'all in)
At my old job we would play games for physical activity with the boys. It was often basketball, soccer or football. I usually participated, well because I need it, and because it helped keep them from getting too crazy and intense.  It got to the point where some of the kids got a little crazy and I ran in yelling THIS IS SPARTA and then they would laugh and run away from me. ( Knowing if they kept their behavior up I would consequence them) So we had a This Is Sparta joke for a little bit and I saw a picture of this sign and it reminded me of them and so in honor of them trying to improve their lives

THIS IS SPARTA!
