"crumpets for breakfast, please," said chaco

so...anyone get up at an ungodly hour to watch the wedding? when i woke up, bruno and chaco had the t.v. on and they were ooohing and aaahing over the dress. chaco looked up when i came out and said, "how bout fixing us some crumpets with tea for breakfast?" to which i answered, "absolutely!" and proceeded to pull out the dog food and water.

 and this morning when i walked into school, one of my little boys asked (with a little excitement in his voice) if i watched the wedding this morning. i knew what he was talking about but i looked at him with a pretty convincing questioning look and he clarified, "the ROYAL wedding!" so i rolled my eyes and said no, jonathan, but bruno and chaco did. i figure it's going to be playing several times over the next week, so i'll watch when it's convenient for me...and at that, i won't be watching the entire thing...just the most important portions. a comedian did mention that the queen was dressed like pac man-we'll see.

did i really agree to work saturday school tomorrow? yes. but fortunately it's only one satrurday! i'll get by.

today i finally got over to bed bath and beyond! (it's not that i'm lazy, i just never feel like it after school.. ok, i'm lazy).

i was going to go to the gift registry to get something, but alas, the clerk was having difficulty with the computer. she was helping a lady, and then there was a young couple in front of me, and i figured it would take forever...so i fled.
but not before getting my diet coke for my soda stream!!

i decided to try the pink grapefruit too...

i really do love my soda stream! i do like the diet cola, but i also am finding i really like drinking just the straight club soda again! i used to drink it in HONDURAS after a run, and it just proved to be so refreshing!

and i may have gotten a little something extra as well.nothing big, but it sure is relaxing and it's making me smile! i love candles that are fresh, but not dripping with sweetness, and not too floral-y. when i used to live in des moines, ia i would go to my friend(also my manager at comair!) cindy's house and she had the coolest little electric potpourri pot that she would melt the yankee tartlets in. kudos to cindy for getting me one as a gift, because i use it often! and today i found some new scents i thought i would check out.

the lady that rang me up had to try to smell every thing and she reassured me that the pink grapefruit was one of her favorite drinks. oh goody.

drift away, sun and sand and pink sands

right now pink sands is melting away and who knew that pink sand smells a little like cotton candy? i cannot wait to pop in the sun and sand because i took a sneak whiff (as opposed to a sneak peek) and that little smell took me straight back to jack o neill's cay in HONDURAS and vacations with heidi and margo..the good-ol-days! (i linked the pic, so you must go see it to really understand whenever i start talking about the islands, this is what i'm conjuring up in my mind!) if i could choose one place that i consider paradise, it would be there! in fact, i wish heaven were like the islands!

(and a tv commentator just now said, 'tuppence for the birds'-another reference to mary poppins...i'm tellin'ya!)

oh, and for the record i don't think i've mentioned that i'm not an american idol fan (i was brought up knowing that idols are not a good thing...) i will admit that i did watch the season when jason was on, but that was it (i liked his hair and his family was from my church!), but as soon as he was off, idol was off. that said, i did watch the voice the other night, and i liked it a whole lot! i'm pretty sure that will be dvr'd at our apt. bruno is a big fan-i'm pretty sure he just has a crush on christina aguilera.

alrighty then...tea with jam.. jam and bread!
