gnome-body likes monday...at least nobody writing this post!

hmm..it's monday.

Every other day, every other day Every other day of the week is fine, yeah But whenever Monday comes But whenever Monday comes You can find me crying all of the time..

mama's and the papas...perhaps in another life teachers. 


and i know you all probably have a hard time understanding why i have such a difficult time getting anything important done during my planning period, but, um..well, things like this just keep happening; i had to get the food coloring so that i could create some halloween hospitality treats...

the blue guy looks like something out of a scary movie. i was too lazy to remake the face

 then we had an extra long training this afternoon-boo. the first 15 minutes could have been nixed and nothing would have been lost. i should have taken my new hexaflexagon with me! thanks to renee for posting about it, i found a good site showing how to make it in easy steps and now i have my own little toy to entertain me for hours...i don't understand it, but it doesn't even matter.

what person comes up with this kind of thing? who accidentally folds all of this paper into the perfect little contraption?

 and yesterday when i sat down to work on lesson plans with the school laptop, the battery was super low, and i realized after looking through all of the bags that i had left the cord at school, so then i searched for a zip drive-which i left at school as well (couldn't find a single one!)...so i had to make a quick trip to target to get one and while i was there, i came across some baby toys for friends.

too cute to pass up

chaco thought so too! he sat there and whined until i finally put it away

 and in other news, one of my friends is enjoying nature in wyoming (jealous) and she posted this picture of a river...well, at first, before i scrolled down on my phone, it looked like beef jerky to me...

note to self, next time i want to pretend to go to a river in the fall, i can cut out a picture of my feet and paste them to a bag of beef jerky, take a picture and say i went hiking in wyoming with bmayes...

so i took a picture of a bag of peppered beef jerky while i was at target to compare the two, and to be quite honest, the 'beef jerky' in her picture looks tastier than the real deal...


not happy with this post? don't be jerky, just take a hike...gnome, just kidding!
