baby shower lockjaw

well, as a matter of fact, i DID have my phone interview today, thanks for asking! i believe it went fairly well! i can't really say anything about the interview, except that it's over! whew~step two-done! if it went well, we'll move on to step three.

i also got a chance to go out to the school garden and pull out the broccoli plants, which were flowering. flowering broccoli means bees. bees in the courtyard lead to screaming kids. when kids scream in the courtyard, every classroom facing the courtyard is distracted, and this leads to frustrated teachers, who in turn don't appreciate the garden...good call, julie, good call!

i was also able to get the necessary receipts in to the inter-office mail, and then i received an email after school asking me to fax them. so i guess that will be first on the agenda for tomorrow!

and after school, there was the baby shower. i don't think i was really much help..i contributed only in adding water to the mix. the baby shower punch was a half and half mixture of i'm not sure what, but the first try was so tart it almost gave me lockjaw-the kind that makes your fingers curl into a fist and they need to be pried open...then some pineapple pizazz was added which made it a bit too sweet. so the only thing that we had available was water and some ice, so we watered it down to make it somewhat palatable...but then, it's not usually the punch that people are talking about after a shower...it's the doritos, and they were fabulous!

when i got home, i saw this guy just hangin around...he apparently jumped off of the computer stand sometime between 8:00am, and 3:33 pm. we found him just in time, he is recovering nicely. i absolutely love my usb port man!

 yesterday when i was out with the boys, i wanted to get a pic of bruno, but he said no, stuck out his tongue and turned his face-so i snapped one of his shadow, and you can see his tongue sticking out...i'm pretty sure he thinks he's michael jordan.

i love all of the tulips in my neighborhood-they make my heart smile!

i'm going to have to alter some of my lesson plans because we have to administer our telpas writings, and next week we have the naep test..we'll have some intensive small group sessions because over half of the class will be out of the room for that!

and i just talked to dad about our spring break visit. hopefully we will be able to work on the itouch docking station for recharging; that way, instead of paying over $1000, dad and i will come up with something comparable at a fraction of the cost! it's how we roll...money doesn't grow on trees, ya know! i sent him a link with pics from the tcea convention we went to!

i also mentioned that i would be bringing my new toy and was planning on doing some target practice at their place...outside of course. good thing they live outside the city! now i just need to find some target ammunition. anyone? anyone?

ok, that's all i got-looking forward to a good day tomorrow!!
