Tuesday Tidbits

#1) Yes, world we're still in school. Tomorrow is the last day of school.

I gave Liz an 'Art man.'  I saw
it and ran
to it in the store. I just knew she'd
fall in love
with Bob or act gracious about it. Lol. She's
a good friend.

#2) Vacay. I've never called it that, but my third year of teaching brings that connotation. Finally. Vacay will be spent in yoga pants, in sweatshirts, eating snacks, laughing with family/friends, getting annoyed at family/friends, watering this real Christmas tree, shopping after-Christmas sales, stalking reading blogs, reading (I know I just put that, but I 've been getting better), spending less time on the internet, organizing the basement, running only fun errands, thinking of the past year, thinking of the new year, not thinking of school, fully soaking in the Today Show while drinking yummy water, working out with friends, and eating lots.

A student's card...

#3) Know how some people, ok most people, say the way to a man's heart is food. Well, the way to this girl's heart may be Buckeyes...those chocolate covered peanut butter balls. I could have a Christmas-inflicted addiction.
#4) I can run again! This is very exciting to me. Exactly, one month after the half-marathon I was able to run with out sharp, radiating pain! The sweat felt amazing.
#5) 2 huge secrets were shared with me this morning. I love exciting things. And, especially watching exciting things happen to people who pursue good.
#6) My uncle and cousins hosted a party for a friend on Sunday. Well, I was the recipient of some of the leftover cookies. I took them to school. Well, by golliday, they've been a hit! People, I rarely talk to because we're so busy, are stopping by asking for the recipe or what's in them. Trust me, I totally give the credit back to where they came from. In no way, do I have that baking ability...yet.
#7) College nostalgia-Liz is on her way over. Bringing with her food that needs to be eaten before she hids home for the holidays.

Liz gave me a bracelet with one of my
favorite quotes..."Life is not
a guided tour but a journey."

#8) My friends and I  are Sex and the City. It's a fact.
#9) My mom is the best. Who do you call when you need more goods for great people? Your mom. My friend, Dan, at work is jealous. I saw it on his face.
#10) Last week, at the concert by EVHS, I got to laughing so hard. That I snorted. That's typical. But, then a 4th grader looked up at me with seriousness. "Don't worry Ms. R when you snort it means your normal."




Moral of the Story: Do you feel it? Christmas magic is coming. I can feel it in my toes.
