lazy sunday morning

that's what today held for me, and i'm currently still enjoying it....listening to music, a little postsecret, playing with lauren and caleb, reading, uploading pictures....it's been a good day so far :)

so, last time i wrote, it was about the kids in my class and how i got bit by one of them (to which my sister asked if i'd had my shots...). well, last week was "p" week....meaning we learned all about the letter p. wednesday we had a pizza party and talked about all the different kinds of toppings we wanted on our pizzas. we turned the class into a pizza parlor for lunch. it was cute. however, forgetting that i teach at the jewish community center, i did ask the kids if any of them wanted sausage on their pizza. and yes, i was in the middle of the hallway. and yes, another teacher did hear me and said something to me. i completely forgot....oops :)
thursday i had a benefits meeting to go to, so i missed most of pajama day, but i was able to join in on the fun when i finally got back to work (after getting lost again....i'm horrible with directions!). we had a lot of superheroes walking around, mostly spiderman and "su-erman", as one of my little friends says. as difficult as these kids can be, they do have a way of stealing your heart. or maybe it's just me :)

i went looking at apartments the other day. hopefully we'll have success soon :)

friday night a friend and i went to a photography exhibit at a place called the light, which is another church in the city. it was a small show, but there were definitely some cool images and things to look at. it's been awhile since i've been to a show like that, and i was glad it was there for us to be able to go. an enjoyable experience all around :)

i have a new phone! no more broken screen! i can finally see texts when they're sent my way and see who's calline me. no more wondering who that was on the phone or if i have a message. a phone that works properly in every way. such a blessing!

i went with some friends last night to get their christmas tree and some decorations. looking through all the trees and greenery is fun. real christmas trees smell so good, so that's a plus as well! the tree was put in the stand last night, but not decorated because the branches needed to fluff out some after being tied up. speaking of tying a tree up....getting that tree tied to the top of their car was quite the adventure (ok, so i didn't really help....kristina and i mostly watched from inside the car). rope sent through the car and thrown over the car, and when it was all over, the person in the car holding onto the end of the rope to make sure the tree didn't go anywhere. it was the most amusing way to get a tree to stay on a car that i've ever seen.....successful, but still funny....

i love christmas time :)

enjoy your sunday, dear friends!

A New Post

Y'all. I have been starting and stopping, erasing and re-writing, thinking and planning, and starting and stopping again for this post. I haven't posted since the beginning of December, and that was only a list of things I had to do for finals. Hardly note-worthy. Before that, I hadn't posted since September. Which, upon reflection, was also only a "here's what has happened in the last several weeks" post....since I hadn't updated since MAY. Clearly I'm very good at keeping up with this little blog. Probably because I'm fairly certain the only people who read this are also those that I actually update on the phone... Also, I think I've been avoiding writing anything serious for awhile because I didn't really want to think about it in such a way that would lead to a post. "It" being any number of things I've been thinking about for the last 6 months or so. Likely, another reason for this is because there are so many things ...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
