Currently Reading She's Come Undone By Wally Lamb see related

okay so remember the kid in my class that quacks?

well today he brought a plastic bag full of candy. he took it out on the playground, found several roly polies, dropped them in the bag, shook it up and kept on eating. trail mix, maybe? i don't know.

this past weekend i went to panama city and had a wonderfully awesome time. we went to a waterpark (you could see marcus's apartment from the waterslides. not because the waterslides were that tall, it was just on the same street). we also went out to a fancy restaurant. i got filet mignon and lobster tail and when they brought the food out a guy cut out the lobster from the tail for me and everything. they didn't have sweet tea, though, so i had mello yello in a fancy wine glass.

these were just before we left:

i had to stack a tv tray, a whole set of coasters, and three dvds on top of the coffee table to get this picture:

and i cut these out of a jc penney's magazine:

he's pretty great. i like him a good bit.

i'm on book 26 now. next on my list is 'the perks of being a wallflower,' recommendation of miss lindsey mckay. i got it for less than four dollars on amazon. i'll let you know how it goes.

i got a new toy:

marcus got me a nintendo ds and it's awesome. and pink. super awesome. he's super awesome. he got himself one too, so we can play against each other. it's fun.

yeah, we're cute, i know.

not so cute.

she and her husband were in their underwear and her husband had on white boxers which became very, very see-through when wet.

gag.

Currently Watching Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers - Volume 2 By Corey Burton, Tress MacNeille, Jim Cummings see related

Strep throat isn't very enjoyable. It's not cool at all. However, the doctor I went to looked just like Ryan from The Office, which...is quite cool.

Since my last post I have read:

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

Ocean's Apart by Karen Kingsbury

Mississippi Sissy by Kevin Sessums (native of grand ole Forest, MS, by the way)

and Tears In A Bottle by Sylvia Bambola

Right now i'm reading Like Dandelion Dust by Karen Kingsbury, which is book number 20 for me. I started it last summer but got sidetracked and never finished it.

After almost eight months at my job of sort of filling in as a teacher in whatever class they needed me in, they put me (at least semi-permanently) in the one class i wanted the very very least. The two year olds. Every day I have 12 of them and they drive me absolutely insane. They bite, they pinch, they spit, they hit, they eat bugs and dirt, and lately have found it quite entertaining to lick the concrete, as well as the bottoms of their shoes. And when you tell them to stop they just look at you like, "hah, yeah, and just what do you think you're going to do about it if i don't stop?" They've gone through numerous teachers. They know exactly how to break them: at the slightest sense of stress, they attack. They really do. They feed upon your reaction and sense stress like a dog senses fear. Now, some people can handle two year olds. Some people even PREFER two's over any other age group. And I respect and appreciate those psychos.

You know, though... as much as they frustrate me and drive me insane every day... they're actually kind of starting to grow on me. A little. Well, some of them.

those are two of my three girls in the class. absolute sweethearts. then you have the boys.

Joe only answers me if i quack at the end of my request. He claims he's a duck, so he thinks you're speaking duck by speaking normally then adding a quack at the end of your sentence. "Joe, stop running around the room half naked and let me put your pull-up on you." He doesn't even blink. Just keeps on running. "Joe, stop running around the room half naked and let me put your pull up on you...quack." He runs right over to me and puts the pull-up on himself. Sigh.

more on that subject some other time.

i love him!!

i don't, however, love the fact that my pictures aren't aligned as they should be.

i do apologize.

i set a goal at the beginning of february to read 100 books by next february. i'm only on book 15 now, though.
i don't think i'll make it.
that's okay, though. i'm enjoying reading something besides stupid textbooks.
if you have any recommendations of books i would enjoy, let me know.

i got a raise today! yay!
