I survived conferences and had every single one show up!  I really enjoyed talking with the parents and seeing my students proudly show off their accomplishments.  They are fantastic.

I finally got my new skis mounted and waxed.   Now all we need is some snow!


hooray:

THANKSGIVING is this week!  One of my most favorite holidays because it involves being with family, making pie, watching the parade, and remembering all of my blessings.

cold + conferences

because of a blasted cold, I can't talk. and I inwardly feel a little like this:

but come tomorrow afternoon I'm going to feel awesome, put together, and pretty.  perhaps like one of these:

maybe I'll wear a tie to parent-teacher conferences...

Brynn @ 22 years old: 
preparing for her first ever parent-teacher conferences as the "real" teacher
trying to get back into music/songwriting
eating school lunches and m&ms
making foot-stamp-stained glass turkeys tomorrow
getting excited for the holiday season
creating/working on some new projects

Today is

a milestone.

hip hip!

I'd like a vacation, please.

Today, I am willing to use my paid time off.  Any of these places would serve as prime destinations:

vermont

san fran

the macy's thanksgiving day parade

the redwoods

switzerland

heck, I'd even go to hawaii

anyone care to join?

mixed feelings

snow today. thinking about

love: skiing

hate: scraping my car windows every ding-dong day

love: coco lattes

hate: muddy slush on my pants

love: mittens

hate: black ice

love: lights at temple square

hate: snow before leaves fall

love: coats

hate: dry skin/hair/lips

love: holiday breaks

hate: indoor recess

and even though I should be used to it after living in Idaho, I keep thinking it's not even november yet.
