do something

today was a chill-to-the-bone day...which we just don't get a ton of here, and this one came earlier than necessary! ok, it wasn't as cold as iowa, but it was blustery. you have no clue how relieved i was when i got to my car and saw that the tire was indeed still inflated! then i did a happy shiver (i'd have done a happy dance, but my hands were full and i was cold b/c my coat was left in my classroom over the weekend).

when i got to school i sent out a couple of e-mails and got some small stuff done. and classes went pretty well-i think the kids' books might actually get done. cross fingers! cross anything that crosses. i also offered to go to the navidad en el barrio to help out tomorrow after school...it's going to make for a long day, but i don't want to be one of those people who just says,  "yes, i'd like to help those in need somehow," but never does anything about it. i desire to be more of a person of action.

on the way home this afternoon, i stopped at cvs and as i entered i was thrilled that there was no one at the picture kiosk! it took me awhile because i had a couple of different media cards to access pics from. i did end up using pic C- (A and B were taken on the phone, and they weren't as clear when i printed them). and there were some other pics i had to print off as well so i could finish off the ornament books--here's one of them! one of the pics wasn't the right size, so i will have to reprint a different one. boo.

there is nothing really quite as satisfying as doing something to let someone else know how special they are. so, don't hesitate.do something.
have a great evening! can't wait to show you the cards we made!
