With an office instead of a classroom I listen to a LOT of Pandora! To clarify for some of you, I was offered a reading/intervention teacher position for this year. I love it.
Thursday August 18, 2011: Day 22


This would be a dead frog on my living room floor *barf*. With the ant infestation, I can't wIt to move in December!!!

Pedicures with Haley! Mike is the best pedicure giver...ever.

It's Never Too Late

Here I am at work, taking a picture for a bulletin board.

Friday August 5, 2011: Day 11

Sunrise from my front porch was so beautiful!!!

Saturday August 6, 2011: Day 12

Tyler and I threw a Luau! It was way too fun. We have so much leftover booze we could have another. When would be good for you?

Sunday August 7, 2011: Day 13

Took a photo of our district website, kckps.org, to symbolize getting ready for school to start with convocation at memorial hall.

Wednesday August 10, 2011 Day 14


One of the many new curriculum guides I will need that I received today. Very tiny print.

Thursday August 11, 2011: Day 15


New office mate Jaime and I spent 4 hours working on this bulletin board on teacher work day. Some of the flowers haver teacher Bios when you open them. Someone moved that dang pencil machine back in front of it. Boo.

Friday August 12, 2012: Day 16

After the first day if school, Tyler took me to a chiefs game. First one since '96!

And... I'll finish updating later!

It's the end of the world as we know it...

Or maybe just the summer. I have some catching up to do.

Thursday, July 28, 2011: Day 3



The Pegah's Restaraunt across the street burned down. Heather said thank goodness it wasn't the sushi place across the street. I pointed out that it would be hard to start a grease fire with raw food.

Friday, July 29, 2011: Day 4



Tyler and I went to Worlds of Fun where I lost my voice... It's still pretty raspy. This is Snoopy's festival of lights or something.

Saturday, July 30, 2011: Day 5



My friends Brandon and Amanda got married! I caught the bouquet. It used to look much prettier.

Sunday, July 31, 2011: Day 6



Came home after a few days to a kitchen floor full of ants. Yuck.

Monday, August, 1, 2011: Day 7



Best...score...ever. Too bad this was post league. I'm the "L".

Tuesday, August 2, 2011: Day 8



Had a hankering for some sangria and headed to the WalMart neighborhood market for sone limes and such.apparently the refrigerators broke down. This is how they save the food.

Wednesday, August 3, 2011: Day 9



I hear you just have to post a photo every day, but not necessarily one you took that day. With that being said, Tyler gave me a dozen red roses a couple of weeks ago... :) So pretty!

I feel pretty...

Wednesday, July 27, 2011: Day 2



With only a few days to spare, I finally got a dress to wear to Amanda and Brandon's wedding this Saturday. The Jessica McClintoc store was having a sale :) I showed it to Tyler over some face time and he says it looks like a prom dress. I don't think so, I think it's classy. It looks much nicer in person. Kind of shimmery, but you can't tell.

Living The Good Life

Tuesday, July 26th 2011: Day 1




This is Jeanette (Named after the author of the Glass Castle, which I highly recommend) because of her similar rags-to-riches story. I got her at Wayside Waifs right before New Years. She's really sweet and cuddly :)

I know I said I would start this the other day, but that just didn't happen. Better to start off easy with what's right in front of me. Oh, and I found an app so that I can blog from my phone :)

Why Today??

Because it's summer and I'm boooored. Also, with the dawn of this whole Google+ thing, maybe someone will actually look at it this time! Later today, you will find a photo for Day 1!! Just have to find something good first...

They won't all be winners

Day 11-January 11th: Lately I have had to wait in a line of cars with middle schoolers and their parents, since they don't want their kids walking to school in this weather. I took this out of the window of my car, since I didn't have much else to do at the time. This picture is a pretty good representation of my students neighborhood. That puppy looks cold!

Day 12-January 12th: Another out the window photo! Those are some impressive icicles! They need to take out their air conditioner just like we do!
Day 13-January 13th: This photo is of part of the bulletin board behind my desk. It's a thank you card that Dr. Timberlake sent me for being part of a panel of Baker grads. I got this just a couple of weeks before attending her funeral. Dr. Timberlake was an education professor of mine who also supervised my student teaching.
Day 14-January 14th: It's shake and bake, and Tyler helped! He looks a little goofy trying to keep the rest of his body still while shaking some tasty butterfly pork chops in some hot and spicy shake and bake goodness.

Day 15-January 15th: The inside of my messy purse. Nuff said.
Day 16-January 16th: Happy Birthday Heather! Heather dawning her new necklace I made her at O'Shay's after a delicious dinner at Nick and Jakes.
Day 17-January17th: I was impressed by how many carts were actually ready to take at Wal-Mart during our usual Sunday outing.

The Weekend

Day 8-January 8th: Courtney's cupcake tower! We went over to Courtney, D.P., Stephanie, and Owen's (whew, thats a lot of people!) that night for a game night and Courtney made these fab devils food with cream cheese frosting cupcakes!

Day 9-January 9th: Did lots of things today; had some Indian food, saw a movie... forgot to take a picture, so Fiona looking up at Tyler from her bed it is.

Day 10-January 10th: Tyler is going to make me take our Christmas tree down this week, so I wanted to make sure I took a picture of it. It was my first tree as an adult! It is a hand-me-down from Grandma. Thanks Grandma!

Back to work tomorrow after an unexpected 5 day weekend! I think I'm ready though. I haven't worked much lately with winter break and all.

Snow Days!

Day 5-January 5th: Snapped a photo out my windshield on my way to work right after merging onto 670. Lets hope this photo challenge doesn't kill me! Driving through the middle of downtown with a camera in my hand is dangerous! If you aren't from Kansas City and you're wondering what those things are on top of the pillars up above, they are supposed to be statues. Of what? I have no idea. They are on top of Bartle Hall where they have conventions and shows (like lawn & garden, boats, cars, etc.) and what not. I think they look like houses from The Jetsons.
Day 6-January 6th: Snow Day #1! I figured a snow day warranted a photo of the falling snow! This is a little bridge in a park down the street from our house. I take our dog, Fiona, on walks here in the summertime.
Day 7- January 7th: Snow day #2! Fiona is so cute out playing in the snow! It was so hard to get this picture because she kept coming to the door every time she saw me. See the snow on her nose? She always gets snow on her nose. I don't know if she eats it on is just looking for stuff.

The Return

Day 4-January 4th: Back to school! It felt appropriate to snap a pic of my school since I had to return to work today after a luxuriously long winter break. Here is a view from the parking lot on my way to the car. I reeeeally didn't wan't to go back today, but seeing all of their little faces made things much better! (Notice the unsuspecting 4th grade teacher trying to exit the building? Try again! That door was NOT shoveled!)
