I had a snow day last Wednesday. You can be jealous of me and choose to either stop reading now, or you can remember that I also get summers off and THEN stop reading.
I spent the majority of the day knitting and watching Christmas movies. I have this thing about the clay-mation movies... most people don't like them. Most people are ignorant. How could you dislike stories about tiny, mythical creatures made of clay, living in the North Pole? It's hard to say...
I suppose there are puppy haters and criminals in this world. Yes, I am equating the three.
Other important things that are going on or have come to pass:
- I FINALLY committed to brown leather boots today. I bought a pair of Steve Madden knee high boots at exactly 2:47 pm. I would venture to say the only other thing I have spent more time in the pursuit of is our Lord. You can't just buy boots. First of all, other people may not be able to tell or care, but it bothers me when people wear fake leather anything. Take a moment to forgive my snobery. BUT SERIOUSLY, leather comes from cows, God made it, not a single person in this world can make a synthetic leather that looks or smells like the real thing. Also, if you're going to invest in something why on earth would you invest in a fake? I feel like that's just smart investing. Does this mean that if you can't afford real leather you shouldn't even buy a knock off? YES! One thousand times yes! Save your money and buy the real thing. It's leather. Cows wear it for SKIN. It's going to last for a very long time.
- Jasmine Mays and I are writing a children's book about a T-Rex and a Squirrel. Their names are Trek and Ace, respectively. I JUST NOW sent her my contribution to the beginning chapters. You may laugh and smile at our "pipe dream" but I have a few words for you in our defense.
J.K. Rowling... BOOOOOOM! Suck it Trebek! I would estimate I've spent enough time in Starbucks in the last three months to have cranked out my own Harry Potter series. Furthermore, Jasmine Mays and I may not be single mothers in England but we are track athletes... which counts for... well it makes us... ummm... we should at least have more time on our hands than she did and we are in better shape. This makes us smarter. If you don't follow that logic, then that's only proving my point about our intelligence... I think.
- I have the best 5th period math class in the history of the world (or at least the history of 8th grade girl, math classes). Instead of having a boring lesson on Friday I hosted an episode of the Oprah show and held a kart wheel contest. My special guest was a girl who is exceptionally talented at reading page numbers and reminding her classmates about the page number. I lost the kart wheel contest. Jeans and Sperry's do not equal a leotard and chalked hands. Epic fail. They had fun :)
- I ate Taco Bell on Friday. I haven't eaten Taco Bell since I was drunk in Hillsdale with Justin and Lisa. I kind of felt like I had dysentery. It's possible that I did. It's hard to say...
- After the Taco Bell, I went to a Christmas Luau at the school. Holy Moly! I've never been to a Luau before. I regret that I do not posess the skills to fully explain how impressed I was with these kids. Four little boys did the Hakka from Samoa... I kind of wanted to cry. They were really intimidating. As for the girls, Shakira looks like trash compared to one of my students that dances in the group. I am proud to say that she is a member of the "Wonder Triplets" (Myself, Kera, and Fasscena). Two of my favorite students and I became the Wonder Triplets a few Tuesdays ago and the name stuck. I kind of like my job :)
TaTa for now.
