How cute is this?

So I've decided to become better at sewing this summer. Look what I made!

Cute huh?

Why, oh why?

So I'm determined to get in shape. I don't have much else to do this summer, so I'm trying to hit the gym daily and eat healthier. It's true that teachers have the worst eating habits; andI'm trying to change my patterns now while I have time so hopefully the habit will continue come fall.

As I've been at the gym more often than usual, I've discovered something that distrubs me. Boys. If you could answer this question for me, I'd be extremely grateful. Why do you find it necessary to wear skater shoes, Vans or anything besides athletic shoes to the gym. There is no way that those shoes provide any type of support as you are running on the treadmill, grunting under huge weights or strutting through the gym. It it too much to put on a pair of Nike's? I promise, no one will think of you any less of a 'home-boy' or a bad-A. Please, someone, end my confusion and tell me why, oh why, boys are determined to work out in untied shoes.

School's Out for Summer!

I cannot believe it! School is out! Today was my last day and as I left the classroom I felt so weird. I was so glad everything was done for the year; anxious to start again next year; and sad that it's over at the same time. I can't believe it! I am no longer a first year teacher! Next year will be even better (the smart-board I'm getting is a nice perk too!)

Also, drum roll please...I'm starting my micropigmentology classes on the 9th whoo hoo! Check out my other blog to learn more about it if you haven't already!

I'm excited for the summer to start, to study for the GRE, take my classes, go to SEATTLE, and spend some time fishing and working on little projects.

Celebrate with me... School's Out for Summer!

Spring Break

So it has taken me ages to get my pics from spring break up, but here are some of them! Chelsea, Blake and I had a blast in Disneyland. It was so much fun to take someone who had never been before (Chelsea). The new Toy Story ride is AMAZING!!! It was definetely worth the wait. Blake and I went to Disneyland two years ago, and I hope I get to go in two years again! By then, the "Cars Land" will be open and so with "Ariel's Undersea Adventure" not to mention the cool water/laser/color show in California Adventure.

I love Disneyland! I truly think it's the happiest place in the world! No matter your race, religion, marital status or anything else, Disneyland makes you kind to everyone else who is there enjoying their time as much as you are. I think if everyone just took a trip to Disneyland once in a while, we've have a little less contention in our lives. And hey, if world leaders had a character breakfast with Mickey and the gang, maybe there would be a little less war.

Here is Tigger and I! We were so lucky to catch him!

Wearing silly ears! Blake was the only one who bought his though.

Enjoying some grub at the Blue Bayou (Pirates of the Carribean)

The chicken gumbo was amazing as was my blackened salmon. YUMMY

A random and yet hilarious train of thought...

So yesterday I was watching a little television in my room. A commercial came on for a pregnancy test claiming that 1 in 4 women misread a pregnancy test.

Thought #1: How can you misread a pregnancy test. One line not pregnant, two lines pregnant. If the lines are fuzzy then your test isn't accurate. It's not that you misread it, you can't read it. If you misread it, you must be blind. Which led to...

Thought #2: How DO blind women take pregnancy tests? Do they make auditory ones that say "Pregant" or "Not pregnant." Do you tell it beforehand whether you want to be pregnant or not so that the voice sounds chipper when you get what you want? Or do they make tests that vibrate once for not pregnant twice for pregnant--but no, that would me VERY messy. What about pregnancy tests in braille...again, messy.

While this may be a little politically incorrect...I thought it was a funny train of thought.

And if any of you can answer my question- Do they make pregancy tests for the visually impaired? Let me know!

Indian Food

So when I was in New Zealand I found a new favorite food--Butter Chicken! It's amazing! So I brought home some packets to make it and finally found some people brave enough to try my Indian cooking. It turned out really well! I made butter chicken, rice and Naan bread. I've never made Naan bread before but it tasted great! (It was a little thick, and I baked it a little too long, but it was edible and enjoyable!)

Before and after adding tomato paste water and sour cream.

My homemade Naan Bread! I added garlic---yummy!

Basking in the glory of my successful meal! I only have three chairs and there were four of us, so we truly Indian-styled it and sat around my coffee table cross-legged.

David contemplating my cooking. After eating I got a huge thumbs-up!
