a long, long time....

so it has been...

there's been a lot on my mind and i haven't been able to put it into words....

i still don't think i can, but here are some random tidbits from my life....

i've noticed on occasion that the kids at work tend to fall asleep faster at nap time if we're playing classical music rather than any old music. so i brought in my prince caspian soundtrack (which is not classical, but it's wordless....plus, i really like the songs at the end of it). this was a bad idea, because it made me want to watch the movie. if you've been reading for awhile, or if you know me, then you know the my love for narnia. and after i saw caspian in theaters (3 times....it's a long story), i wrote this about it. i wasn't a fan at first, but it grew on me. anyway, i finally went and bought it. and watched it the first chance i had. i just love it. everytime i watch or read the movies or books, i find something new to learn. it speaks to me in a new way everytime. so many levels. they just get better and better each and every time.

the weather up here is being a bit of a tease. i like cold and all.....when it's winter and when there's snow. if i'm going to be living further north than ga and it's going to be cold, i need to have snow! none of this one day it's 50-something or higher and the next it's 30 or lower. nope. make a decision, mr. weather. speaking of the weather, i'm soo ready for spring. blue skies. warm weather. the sun. no coat. mmm...

we had a book fair at work last week. and i gave into temptation.

i made chocolate chip cookies the other day and they came out more cake like than cookie like. i still can't figure out what i did wrong, but they stil tasted good, so oh well.

you should know by now that i'm doing beth moore's esther study because i think i've mentioned it at least once a post since i started it. i think it's cool that i'm going to be doing this study during purim, which is the jewish holiday commemorating esther. at school, the kids will come dressed in costumes and we'll have parties. lots of fun :)

i made cupcakes for church on valentine's day. it was my first experience making coca-cola cake, but i think it came out pretty good. here's what they looked like:
