So, as often as I read and comment on other people's blogs, I stink at updating my own blog.  I'll try to get better about that.

Last night at the fireworks, people weren't allowed to bring water, beer, or beverages of any kind so that the city could bank on them buying drinks from them and make the big cash.  What makes me so sad is how many Corona bottles people leave all over the ground afterwards.  I wish people would learn how to clean up after themselves!!

So, I went to my little niece's teen titans birthday party this past weekend, and I didn't know all that stuff even existed!  It was so cool!  Kids these days have so many neat toys. I got her a couple of teen titan toys, you know just to fit in with the theme.  I remember when I had a rainbow brite birthday party-those were the days :) 

Great New Curious George Dolls.

Just got these great new plush Curious George Dolls.  I saw the movie, very cute and was so inspired to have a little monkey of my very own.  Of, course on my budget I couldn't afford a real monkey  so I opted for a little soft plush monkey.  I did a quick search and found a great online store with a bunch of Curious George Products.  I bought a Curious George Hawaiin Shirt doll and my roomate a Curious George Splish Splash doll.   I know it is not like having a real monkey, but c'mon who would really want that kind of headache...Michael Jackson maybe:)

So, after spending my weekend at Purdue university with a group of very intelligent students, it was a rude awakening to go back to kindergarten art today.  It's not that they aren't super cute or anything...it's just that they are sooooo messy!! I would love a group of students that could actually get out supplies on their own, or have more than a 5 second attention span.  I don't mind the job...but I certainly don't want to spend my life there.

So...we got slammed with a snow storm yesterday, and I spent THREE HOURS on the roads, to drive 15 miles.  You read that right...FIFTEEN miles in three hours.  I have never been so happy to see my house in my entire life.  The good news is-I got a snow day today, so I don't have to teach.  Hooray!  I've decdided that snow days are WAY better as a teacher than they were as a student.

So, what do you think about the Narnia craze?? I'm pretty stoked to see these movies-I reread the books as an adult, and I enjoyed them even more than as a kid.  They are fantastic books to read before you go to bed.  I had the most creative dreams of my whole life when I was reading the series. 

However, one or two people I"ve talked to don't seem to think that people are going to want to see the movie...what??? If they liked Lord of the Rings, they'll totally want to see this.  And besides, most people aren't very picky about what they see.  If something is popular-they'll see it!  

 I've never been a person to insist on seeing a movie on opening night at midnight.  I guess I just don't have that intense of a desire.  I'm totally willing to wait a week or so.  I don't have to be the first.  

 Just don't ruin it for me :)

I thought I would put some photos up here that I have taken occasionally.  Isn't this sunflower beautiful???  There is this amazing "pick your own" sunflower field by my house.  I love to ride my bike up there and pick them, put them in my 50's bike basket, and ride them back to my dining room table.  Too bad it's winter now. 

 

On a side note...I just saw a HUGE hawk eating a squirrel in my front yard.  It was like National Geographic or something!!

So, as much as I read and comment on other people's blogs, I never seem to write in my own.  Too much pressure to come up with something really witty to say I suppose.  I'll try to write more often!
