I like this.

things making me happy today

One of my (favorite) students ordered a $6 book from scholastic bookorders.  He brought in his money today-- all $6 in nickels and dimes.

It is sunny, and I drove home with the window down.

Strawberries + sour cream + brown sugar

Sub plans are finished- almost.

I get to marry a cool guy in a week.  The forecast is for 58 and mostly sunny.

two weeks

think: sunshine

I love Samuel

pi(e) day 2010 and happiness

Happy Pi(e) Day to All!

(Disclaimer: this is not the pie we made). Dad and I made apple pie, and it was delicious.  But the best part of the day was this: 

My new niece!  Amelia Jones: red hair, pronounced chin, 8 lbs 4 oz of pure happiness.  

Yay.

marching

Oh my oh my how I love amazon.com.  It's so marvelous.

It is snowing at the moment.  A little disappointing because March is supposed to be a spring month, but probably a good thing because I still have one ski pass left.

Parent-Teacher Conferences.  This too shall pass.

I have a fake tooth in my mouth right now.  But my dentist is cool because he came to my class and taught my students how to floss and about the bacteria in their mouths.  We wrote thank you notes to him, and one student included this joke: Where do teeth go on vacation?  Mount Brushmore!  Classy.

I resolve to be a great gift giver and attend all the showers I am ever invited to, even if I'd rather not.  People are so nice.

I still love The Weepies.

Bay is going to be a Presidential Ambassador at SUU in the fall!  Wahoo.

It's a good life.
