This is what I feel like today. I dragged myself to school this morning and survived the day....barely. I hate how you feel fine one day and wake up feeling like HELL the next. I'm all achy and my throat is killing me. I hope I am not getting strep throat! GUGHGHGHGHGH.....
I lined everything up for a sub when I left school today just in case I wake up in the morning feeling worse. Tonight I'm making this new recipe I found...so maybe that will help me feel better.
Lately it's been hard to keep up with this blog! Between MySpace and Facebook my social networking to do list has been full! I don't think anyone reads this who doesn't 'know' me on said social networks, so the task seems a bit redundant. I also ask myself a lot..."Who exactly am I talking to when I'm blogging?" Most of the people who read are in my daily lives so they know all my updates and stories. I guess I really need to remember to blog for ME! Although I do love my fans...all 6 of you! I thought about trying to point this blog in a more specific direction...family? job?? friends? I need to just sit down every day or so and type about whatever comes to mind. So that's the plan....I am going to try to start blogging again. Consider this your warning! Boring, random tidbits headed your way!
Well for starters, I threw an AWESOME Halloween party at my house!! I don't even feel bad bragging about it because it was amazing. Here are some pics to prove it! These parties make me feel so lucky to have the most amazing friends. I also went out for a friend's Bachelorette party this weekend! I will post pics of that night soon, too!
With a positive attitude, a respect for both candidates, a hope for a better future not only for myself but for our children, a smile on my face, a love for this country, two closed ears to the negativity that this election brings out, a patience for ignorance, and a hunger for change, I post this video.
Ok...I'm not great at these, but I was kinda tagged by Heather. I've been on Fall Break this week, aka 'not doing anything productive and being completely lazy' week. Heather had some great picks you should check out! There are a few that I share with her! Here are the ones I've decided to add.
In no particular order......
I absolutely love the theme music to Pirates of the Caribbean! The movies are amazing and let's face it, you hear that soundtrack and you know you're about to see two of the most beautiful men alive. You know you pretend you're Keira Knightly, too! Last year, I even dressed my family up as pirates for Halloween!!
A classic. I can't hear this song and not dance. I watched this movie TOO many times to remember growing up. Again, I watched it and pretended and I was Jennifer Grey! (See a reoccurring theme here?) There are several great songs to choose from, but this scene is my favorite!!
Since I'm going back to my childhood, I can't talk about movies without talking about this one. I would intentionally leave a mess in the kitchen, just so I could reenact the last scene where Elizabeth Shue is frantically cleaning the kitchen. It's one of my favorite movies of ALL time, so this song has to make the list!
So this kind of random, but I really love this movie! George Clooney is just sexy, but this song is great! I have a soft spot for old 'banjo' country music. If you haven't seen it, Netflix it people!!
Ugh. Just looking this scene up to post on here has me in tears. This movie is a MUST SEE. I think I've seen it 4 times now, but I would watch it again in a heartbeat! You'll laugh and cry throughout the entire movie, and secretly wish you'd married an Irish man. You'll plan future trips to Ireland like I did with my best friend, and you'll go out and buy the movie so you can watch it over and over again. Quick...grab the tissues!
Chase started karate this year, and he LOVES it! It is so cute and it makes me want to explode with pride. Here is a picture from his first tournament. He is normally pretty shy, but he got up in front of a room of about 200 people and did his 'Star Block Set'. He is the best. kid. ever.
Bribe us! That's my son's new motto. He is, as I assume most kids are, always bummed when it's bath time. It takes forever to get him in, and even longer to get out. Tonight, I overheard a conversation that made me laugh out loud.....
Wes: "Okay buddy...time to take a bath."
(pause)
Chase: "Hooowwww abboouuuuttttt......" (pulls wallet out of back pocket) "I give you five dooollllarrsss....." (pulls a five out of his wallet and waves it around) "and I don't have to take a baaaaaath....??"
Wes didn't take the bait. Guess we're not that hard up for cash!! Nice try though!!
In an internet full of 'who said what' and 'who said it was true' and 'who said it was false', I found this directly from Obama's website. I have remained objective...trying to whole heartedly see both sides. As an elementary school teacher, these few paragraphs solidified my vote in this election.
Click Here. Wow. Compare it to this? No thank you!
