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!

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

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...

pigeon love

yesterday, i was walking to my car and heard a pigeon. this is not especially unusual because there are pigeons all over the place, their presence just outside my house encouraged by the bird feeder hanging from one of the trees. however, this pigeon caught my attention because it was loud, close and sounded strange. i looked down and saw this pigeon essentially pacing back and forth by the wheels of a car.... where his pigeon friend had been the wheel's unfortunate victim and was no longer with us.  y'all... the pigeon was mourning the loss of his friend. it was so sad and sweet and touching.  i honestly wish i had had a camera to capture the moment. but it got me thinking. about friends, family, community, etc. being missed. don't we all want to be missed and mourned like the poor pigeon was? the kind of people that make the world, our communities, our families, and our friendships better because we are a part of them? and isn't that wh...
