Cake Wrecks

I've just spent the last 30 minutes on this blog. Hilarious. Though I am a little jealous. I wish my blog would become incredibly famous and they would want to make it into a book. It's the perfect format for those books you read on the toilet.

Sushi

I took Nate out for sushi! It ended up being a little embarrassing because we had no idea how much food they would give us and ended up only eating about a third of what we ordered. It was good, though, and I think it was a very nice date.

Cosmetic

The dermatologist says my insurance won't cover a visit to look at my tattoo. Apparently it's "cosmetic" and will cost over $100. :(

Librarian Love

Here is why I love my job:  A 3rd grader just stopped me in the hall to tell me, "Mrs. B- I LOVE my book!"

DATE!

I am taking Nate on a date tonight.  He doesn't know where we're going out to eat.  I like surprises!

Nice Evening

Todd came over for dinner last night. I made something new (Japanese vegetable rice) which they liked, but I didn't. Then we went to Walmart, came back home, and watched a TV show. It was a very nice evening.

Gossip

I'm getting caught up in gossip again.  I need to rise above.

Stressful Morning

This has been a very stressful morning.  I hope the afternoon will go much more smoothly.

Civil Disobedience

Making a book display on Civil Disobedience.  It's time to start standing up for what is right.

Diploma

My diploma came in the mail! I'm a MASTER!

Collection Analysis

I just submitted the library's collection for analysis.  17 pages of percentages, averages, and graphs!  It's like my love of math and books married and had a collection analysis baby!

Not Again

Just when it seems things might be ok, she goes and does something else horrible, tossing everything up in the air again.

Volunteers!

3 wonderful moms just spent 2 1/2 hours helping me glue little medallions on poster board.  Parent volunteers are the best!

Tattoo Mystery

It's been 8 weeks since I got my tattoo. It still looks funky. So I went to the parlor. They have no idea what's wrong with it. I'm supposed to go back on Thursday to get another artist's opinion.

Meeting Time

It's about time for my 2 hour meeting on professional learning. 

Hammock Weather

It is absolutely gorgeous outside!  It's reading in the hammock weather.  I wish I didn't have meetings until late this afternoon!

Sequel

Headache Part II: Return of the Skullcrusher. 

 

Just took advil and sudafed.  I hope this sequel doesn't last long.

Random

I Can Has Cheezburger was listed in my School Library Monthly in an article about excellent websites for educators- to help them "deal with any stress the new school year brings."  Awesome.

Sick

I was not feeling well last night.  Horrible headache and nauseous.  I felt better this morning so I still came to work, but we had 5 teachers who didn't.  And we've already had almost 30 kids check out sick today, on top of the 30 or so who didn't even come to school.

Planner

Dang it.  I left my planner at home.  Now I have no idea what I'm doing today.

Dog Poop

There was dog poop on the carpet of the library this morning.  I have no idea how it got here since the library was locked all weekend.  Obviously, this is the start of a great day.

Livingston, AL

4 hours until we leave for Dan and G's.  7 hours til we get there.  Livingston, AL- here we come!

When?

When will I learn when to speak and when to hold my tongue?

Yoga

Our neighbor invited me to a yoga class tonight that he's teaching. I've only done a yoga DVD before, so I'm eagerly anticipating this new experience.

Perfect Bike Weather

It's rained every afternoon this week, but it's always sunny again by 3:00.  God clearly wants me to be able to bike to and from work.
