Monster Burger…

So my nephew Drake came over with a Monster Burger from Hardees……. My sister told me he wouldn’t eat it because he thought there was a monster in it. LOL. He finally took a bite and then I asked him if he swallowed a fang. That didn’t go over too well……. Poor Drake……. oh to be a kid again!

 

Can’t Wait to Get Back to Work…….

I did a little school shopping today- bought some border, some chart paper, and an inflatable globe- I know- control your excitement….. I was in the store listening to all the other teachers talk about dreading the beginning of school and realized- in that moment- that after 8 years of doing this- I’m still excited. I can’t wait to meet 150 new minds- 150 new souls to learn from, grow with, and befriend. I love my job. I love these kids. I love to learn.

Need I say more??? (Click on the pic to enlarge…make sure ya check out the legs…)

Ahhhhh, 30……

I’m finding myself doing more things like my mother and grandmother….bittersweet, I think. But yesterday was not sweet at ALL. My friend Kati came by to drop off some school things for me and it happened. I stepped up onto my porch and I fell. Flat on my glutious maximous…..scraped my arm……and hit my head. We laughed together, but she assured me it was ok to cry (several times). How funny. I’m a little sore today……my pride mostly injured…… :(

The Dark Knight……

Simply amazing….. like poetry on screen…… Legder has my Oscar vote. Go see this.

I hope he keeps this habit up…….

He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend,
a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter.
By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently
divert and pleasantly entertain himself,
as in all weathers, as in all fortunes.
