Name fun!

Love this...you can find it here.

ETA: I should mention that I found this here.

I haven't laughed this hard in quite some time...

I think she was ready to go with her "world peace" platform, and got blindsided. Poor girl...but I still couldn't resist posting!

One week down...

...thirty-five to go. :) All in all, this has been the best opening week I have ever experienced -- despite the fact that I had to send work to the construction workers on the other side of my wall to turn the music down, and I don't have a door separating my classroom from the ag classroom that's only a few feet away. Now I just need to get lesson plans together so next week can be the best second week ever!

Mike is sick. He's been sick since Thursday. So sick, that he says he isn't going in to work tomorrow. If you know him, you know it's rare for him to even flirt with that idea. My poor guy! :(

Zack moved into his dorm yesterday! I think he's going to be alright -- he was nervous, but who isn't in that situation. Things seem to be going well. My only fear is that they'll kick him out for bashing in his smoke detector...it lets out a loud chirp every 2-3 minutes...I don't think I could blame him if he did.

A Fine Frenzy

Found this song last night by A Fine Frenzy...I think it might be my new favorite.

Here is the first version of the video:



And here's the second version:

My classroom, as promised

Here are those pictures of my classroom that I promised. It's looking a lot better now. I am happy to report that I have a cover for my fuse box! Yay!

This is the corner where my desk usually is. I'm going to try to move some of the drawers to the other end of the room so I have some storage space.

Same pile o' stuff, different angle.












This is the entrance to my room. It used to be a double door. Note the covered fuse box to the left of the door! :)

















This is the back of my classroom. No more windows, which makes me sad. But there is a wall there, so that's a good thing. :)

My "detiled" ceiling.













Mike is off to see Simon Kenton and Daniel Boone today. They're having a reenactment at Blue Licks this weekend. He told me yesterday that while some parents are the types to take their kids to Disney to get their photo taken with Mickey Mouse, his children will be posing with Daniel Boone for photo ops. I don't think he's kidding. :)

6x12 Layout Fun!!!

I've started scraping 6x12 pages -- I'm getting hooked on this size! Here are a few of my completed pages. Enjoy!

My Scrap Space

Just posting a few pictures of my scrapbook area for this blog.

The "big" view:



















Love these jars (the labels are rubons):



















This is where all my unfinished stuff waits (and in some cases, waits and waits and waits):
