oh, jeans friday, i love you almost as much as chocolate sundae.

and today was a bonus because it was college shirt day as well! wore my unc shirt even though i didn't go there. (love chapel hill; thank you layne carey witmer for introducing me to the beautiful campus and scenery of nc!)

today the kids were illustrating their story. i showed them how to draw a person using the shoulder, hip and spine bones as their base, and they were amazed at how easy it was (that does not mean that they were able to do it, but it was worth a shot, i just think 4th grade is too old to be drawing with stick figures...). this wasn't from today, i just found it on the floor-not exactly sure...

iguana/dinosaur man? but what is he holding? is it a mini toilet/bidet, or is it a tall mug with an awkward handle that shoots french fries out the top?

i am interested in reading their final drafts, but i am not excited to grade the other project. nope. not excited at all.

i was a little frustrated at lunch the other day because i brought down almost a whole new box of plastic ware so that i wouldn't have to run upstairs if i forgot to bring mine down. well, guess what i looked in the drawer and it was no longer there, but this was!

i guess it's now like a makeup drawer. who keeps a personal makeup stash in the break room? c'mon now.

now, i don't mind sharing, because no one likes to have to waste time running around looking for plastic-ware. i will admit that i borrowed a fork before i brought the box down, which is part of why i brought my own down...so i guess my thought was if you use it, replace it. then after thinking it through with my coworker, we decided to keep them in a safe place on the first floor. so i stopped and bought some this evening on the way home (don't worry, it's not going to be like the Easter egg hunt was, so don't go opening random lockers and looking behind plants...wait, what plants? they're gone!).

i may have signed up for something i shouldn't have. my friend sent a text asking for some help moving stuff from a storage unit and i was eager to just hang out and catch up before she takes off for austin (haven't seen her in months!)...so i said yes. i'll be more of a moral support, carry the small bags...i'm going to pretend it's like storage wars and pretend we just won the unit and we're looking through it for hidden treasures! (she'd probably get a little upset if i started rummaging through things and shouting, "let's go get it appraised by an expert!" in the target-lady voice).

well, too many sundaes and the jeans won't fit on fridays...must start working out.
