'demon fish'-80's pop band or book by an author with bad galmour pics?

let me begin by saying i am so sorry, those of you who link to this blog from facebook-somehow my settings got messed up and none of my posts were showing up for others-i don't quite know how that happened.


today has been long. but not bad. we had our field trip to the nature museum today, and it would have been really fun if i were there with friends! but, alas, i had 17 students to be in charge of.

we got to watch a great show about force and matter and the kids loved it. i loved finding a brochure about speakers for their shark exhibit. check out this one:

the picture caught my attention and i couldn't help but think that it really fit the book title...i could see her being the author of "demon fish."

then we watched the movie in the imax dome-loved it! it might've been a little over the kids' heads, but that's ok, they loved the prehistoric marine reptiles! by the time we got to do lunch, it had still not warmed up and the wind was blowing....and we had to eat outside. boo. (thanks gigi). then we went back in and enjoyed the hands-on exhibits for the kiddos.

this was the mucus display, and it accurately portrays what has been going on in my head, nose and throat over this past week.

LAST PAYMENT ON MY CITI CARD TODAY!!! now only one more to go and the last bit of a student loan! it feels good!

i also tried the spaghetti squash today and i actually enjoyed it as much as the zucchini! i loved prepping it last night because it was so much fun to shred!! cool stuff!

i walked into the office today hoping that my package had arrived, but it had not. the package, being my calendar. so i am hoping that it is in tomorrow's delivery. i walked in at a good time because they had one of the 'annoying tenants' in trying to get his way about something that was obviously not an option.

and tonight was my phone interview with smu, it seemed like it went fine, but only time will tell...i'll know how well i did if i move on to round 3, i guess. i wasn't too nervous, but i don't know how great i am at thinking on my feet, either.

may your field trips in life be without all the children!
