What a lovely movie. My mom kept saying, "Doesn't it just make you want to cook?" ...no...not really. But it did make me want to blog! ha
It also made me want to DO something -like a challenge for myself....I'm not sure what, but I would like to buy a house and fix it up and have a party in it by ...well...sometime...Maybe my 26th birthday?

The movie also made me think of:
-How I love people with charming personality. They are rare. I want to have a charming personality. Not one that people say is "silly" or "nice," but charming.

-How I love interesting voices. There is something so wonderful about Amy Adam, Meg Ryan, and Julia Robert's voices. I'm sure I am missing some, but as soon as those women speak, I want to listen.

Topic #2:
What a crazy weekend! Friday night I had a Office Party. A bunch of people came and had a grand time watching The Office and playing my silly games. Everyone brought yummy treats and very encouraging (by words and deeds). Then Sat. I looked at my first 2 houses *wonders how many there will be* with a realtor and my mum. When I started it felt like Christmas, when it ended it felt like opening presents just to find out the batteries did not come with the toy car, the clothes did not fit, and the Grinch took the last can of Who pudding. But, I was soon cheered up by lunch out with my mom and a trip to IKEA =) Once I got back home I took a 4 hour nap and then Corey came over to watch The Office with me. Sunday went to Substance, then picked up my "old nanny kids" and we went for lunch and then to Rock the River. I love pretending to be a mom. The time made me glad I wasn't watching them this summer (Sammy is in to Nerf guns this summer...I'm glad I had him when it was Dinos and Wild animals and Legos) and at the same time it made me miss them...a lot. Then later Mum and I went to see Julie & Julia *see topic 1*

So last night I read forward from a friend, it was a Qcumbers e-mail that was a coupon for if you voted and celebrating that "the Worst years are over."
Thus, I replied: I read your Vote coupon and was completely offended. If you took one
moment to think about all the people involved in the decisions that
brought us where we are today, you would not be pointing the finger- you
wouldn't have enough.

I did get a reply, which I was good:

Becky-

You're right of course. I am very sorry that I offended you and promise
to never talk about politics in an email again. So far the polling has me
at 3 to 1 that I'm an idiot and I really feel like it. Thank you for
taking the time to send me your comments.

How I wish I could stand up and tell ppl. how they should change their lives to help their kids, and have some MORALS for goodness sake! Which makes me wonder- How could Jesus stand not shaking ppl. and telling them "DUDE! I AM IN FRONT OF YOU! IF YOU WOULD JUST STOP ___ AND BELIEVE IN ME YOU COULD HAVE JOY!"

On a completely different note, I have 2 cute kid stories:
Once me and one of my student's sat down on our field trip, he looked up and seeing a man with a big beard he asked, "Is that Jesus?"

Today we are working on transportation. While the class was listening to a song on our CD player, I was putting actions and sounds to different boat names that were being mentioned. CD "Tug boat" Me "toot toot" CD "Cruise ship" Me pretending to steer a ship CD "Ferry boat" Girl "sprinkle sprinkle" (and pretending to sprinkle FAIRY dust). ....yes, Transportation week may take longer than I thought.....
