sharpies are nifty, but rowan bracelets are even better!!

this morning i had to swing by walmart early on because i had some small supplies i needed to acquire...and i almost got sucked into this aisle because i am a sucker for sharpies, bic, any markers and cool pens...

i JUST CAN'T HELP IT!

and apparently our little presentation for the all in learning went really well, because we will be doing another later this week or next week-i must verify... i would never promote a product i don't believe in..it's just that all-in-learning has made my life so much easier!! and more fun for the kiddos!

and i may have just made some bracelet purchases-can't wait for them to get here...my friend was in africa, and the ladies there in rowan make these bracelets to sell to put their kids through school and make a living. and i love the look of them!  please check them out  here!

because i haven't heard back yet about the masters program that i applied for (painstakingly), i'm kinda' making an assumption: that i did not get in. i could be wrong, but i doubt it- i really think i would have heard something by now... that said, it's that time of year when decisions need to be made, and i have to begin making plans for my summer if it is not to be tied up with higher education. certainly some disappointment along with some meta-cognitive reflection.


and just for the record, i definitely enjoyed myself a little dove chocolate tonight-i just wanted to read the wrapper, that's all...

great advice

so, doing what feels right must always match up with what i KNOW is right. i'm thankful that my parents raised me with integrity! at kamp, some of my favorite kampers made a name tag for me that said: rule follower. hmm. to be liked or to be respected...i choose the latter.

goodnight!
