Thankful for another fast week. Even if I spent most of it slacking off. I mean, I haven't even watched Idol yet. Both nights are sitting on my DVR. I'm just feeling lazy. That stops tonight and tomorrow. I have stuff to do. :)

I'm missing my Tad right now so that's what you get today. In a Packers jersey. Playing with the lightsaber app on my phone. Look at that face. He loves it.

Busy weekend ahead. Possibly super busy if I get paid this weekend. We'll see. Hopefully plenty of pics to share.

Happy Friday!

We went to Yosemite this week. And this mule deer with the beautiful rack will be haunting my hubby for awhile.

Playing with the new phone today. Hopefully finding a partner or two to have an adventure with me tonight. We'll see. Definitely enjoying my last days of break.

Happy Friday!

I hate undecorating. I actually haven't started yet because we just had more people over last night. And I probably won't start today either. I just don't like it. It's almost sad.

Las Vegas was still decorated. I was obsessed with the Venetian. Just let me show you their tree.

First is at night, then one during the day. Pictures cannot do this tree justice. It was gorgeous. My jaw dropped, I gasped, and I clutched my pearls. Okay, I wasn't wearing pearls to clutch, but my hand went to my chest like I was.

I wanted to bring it home. I want one for my front yard next year. I want one ALL THE TIME. But it might be a bit excessive for my town.

Two days left in 2011. I'm debating what I want to do with mine. Do I spend the whole day reading again? I have the house to myself so I could. I do need to get to the grocery store at some point. And if I'm out I may as well do a little shopping...

Tomorrow I'll probably recap the year in the typical style that bloggers do. For now, happy Friday!

UGH. Talk about a crazy week. I wanted to throw in the towel a few times. Okay, more than a few. A lot. Things changed from one minute to the next...

Monday it was flippin' cold. 27 degrees when I got to work. I live in CALIFORNIA. I was not ready for this. Then we figure out that for some (still unknown) reason, our bells aren't working at school. Not a HUGE deal, but an inconvenience for sure.

Tuesday was another cold one - 26. Awesome. Still no bells. Feeling massively overwhelmed in general and want to hibernate until Christmas. So to relax we hit up our favorite bar for some pizza and beer. And while there I made the horrific discovery that the Giants traded away mi novio, Andres Torres (yes, that's how we refer to him around here). There was wailing on the part of myself and our bartender (who I love which is why I visit her so often). And general anger when we got home. Still feeling bitter.

Wednesday wasn't awful to start. STILL no bells, still no clue why, but we've gotten used to it now. Struggling to keep a few students focused because I think their poor brains are on break a week early. They've checked out. On the plus side, practices for our Christmas program are going REALLY WELL. I'm feeling kind of like director of the year. AND AND AND AND... I totes got mistaken for a high school student at church. Normally I'd be offended or something, but the week before I'm going to turn 30??? I'LL TAKE IT!

Thursday was 25 DEGREES when I got to work. Ew. And ew some more. Plus no interwebz at work this morning. Not a huge deal, but I have parents that email me. Then at lunch we got our network back! Yay! And within minutes I had read that the Giants didn't resign Cody Ross. Super sads. Like, ridonk sads.

I'm honestly not sure I want to know what's in store for me today. Plus side: hubs is off work earlier than normal so we'll actually get to spend time together - beyond abnormal for a Friday.

And since it's a Friday photo, and since I'm missing my Cody already...

Oh Cody, you will ALWAYS rock my black and orange socks.

Me and my boy. Since next week is Thanksgiving break I do believe I'll be spending a little time with his adorable face. :)

Two conferences left today. Then DMV... ugh. But then it's vacation time!!!!

Happy Friday!

Friday Photo

Friday at hooooome. Yes. *insert Snoopy dance and unnecessarily loud singing of joy*

Actually I have to grade this weekend. Conferences are next week. But it's always nice to sleep in for an extra day. Besides the grading this weekend? A fund raiser, some bar time, spontaneous dancing in my living room (thank goodness for weekends alone), soap operas, and who knows.

Who wants a photo?

Love my brother. And I love that he works at a bar that had a Halloween party, because we really weren't up for throwing one this year. I also love my wings. They got a lot of compliments.

Happy Friday friends! If you want in on some fun in the Tower District tomorrow hit me up!

Friday Photo

Ah Friday again. Seriously, at the rate time is flying by I'll be celebrating my 40th birthday before I know it.

Great, I just thought about being 40 in ten years and made myself depressed.

So we're just over a week away from Halloween!!! And I have a green porch light. It's REALLY green.

This is from inside the house. I can't even begin to express the greenness of this light to you. It's kind of funny. Decorating is still going on around here. Not done yet. We'll actually attack the front yard after our gardeners come this week (yes, we have gardeners... they were included in the rent). More pictures to come of course.

I have another busy weekend again. But it'll be fun so I'm excited. Happy Friday!

**And if any of my locals want to join me at Babylon Saturday afternoon I wouldn't tell ya no.**

Another week done... thankfully. I feel like time is flying by lately. We're already just over two weeks from Halloween. Meaning I have about two weeks to finish a costume. I think I have everything - I just need to do it. Plus two more for after Halloween... yup. One for a theme night at church and one for a dress-up day at school. Excuse me if I don't hang out and do nothing for awhile...

I wanted to show off some handiwork today...

I painted that dresser. I did the stripes. For my thirteen-year-old cousin. I am in LOVE with how it turned out. I kind of want one myself now. It was super easy and I kinda wish I could be paid to do it. So if anyone needs zebra stripes... hit me up.

I'm out to get ready for my weekend. High school football tonight and tattoo tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

Whadduuuup... do you love Fridays? I do. Even if this particular Friday means I have to camp out with a bunch of 5th and 6th grade kids.

In honor of baseball being over for us (*sigh*), I give you a baseball photo today. It'll be awhile before you get another fresh one. Almost exactly six months actually.

At least they won the night we went. And the weather was gorgeous. I didn't want to come home.

I do have other pics floating around that weren't posted. So it's not the end of my baseball pictures...

Friday Photo

Due to recent wins by my G-Men, you are getting a baseball picture yet again.

Last game we went to. For my non-fan readers, Cody wears (or was wearing for awhile) the striped socks. And he typically wears eye black. I got high-fives and pictures for my outfit that night. :) Cody saw my sign too.

Ahhhh Friday. And a cooler weekend. And a wedding to go to! Aside from that I see a little bit of house improvement (in the form of painting and hanging some spice racks) and a whole lot of vegging.

Happy Friday!

 I know it was only a four-day work week, but I'm wiped out. Too many emotions, too much BS, too many challenges. I need a picture of my Tad. Dying laughing. Seriously, if you could have heard how hard he was laughing, it would make your day.

Love him.

Happy Friday.

Friday Photo

Heeeeeey little brother.

That's my typical greeting for him. If you used to watch Scrubs you know how to say it the right now. Just a random pic of us at our first baseball game together in probably close to twenty years. I also got to see him last night. He took me to the tattoo shop he uses and I made my appointment for my tattoo! Two weeks from tomorrow. Plenty of time for me to freak out...

Happy Friday.

There is only one word for today's photo so I'm not going to blab on and on:

AMAZETABULOUS.

**For some reason this didn't post on Friday like it was supposed to. Just found it in my drafts. Boooo. So pretend it's Friday for a minute.**

This could be my favorite picture from this week. Which technically isn't saying much since I didn't take very many... but still.

This is from the journal of one of my kids. :)

First day and she writes about me. She did yesterday too. This girl should be my kid. She's so girly and ALSO wrote "I love me" in her journal yesterday. I mean seriously, when your kids love you this much how can you NOT love your job?

Ready for day three today. REALLY ready for some sleeping in tomorrow. And some lesson planning, because I'll let you know something: there is ALWAYS more for a teacher to do.

Happy Friday! And have a great weekend! I don't see myself being around much. :)

**Also, happy 19th to all my fellow DT junkies!**

Ummm... so I have nothing interesting to tell you. Except my best friend's family is awesome. We had dinner with the bestie and her hubby last night. Two of her siblings were there. They've adopted me because I look like I could be part of the family but I'm FAR more sarcastic. They pretty much love me. haha

Anyway, since nothing new has happened, how would you like to see my furbaby?

Greenlee got her hairs cut. And her nails did... purple, mommy's fave. I just love her with short hair. She's adorable.

I'm doing a fat lot of nothing today. Somehow I jacked the muscles all the way down the back of my left leg. Like, all the way up to my butt. It hurts. So I'm relaxing today. Feel free to hit me up if you want to join me. :)

Happy Friday! I'm going to work for a bit today. Then I have to come home and clean because I have a weekend of crafting, thrifting and all around awesomeness with my partner in crime.

And since it's our weekend, I thought I would post a picture of us.

There's too much awesome in this picture to describe. The owling, the panda hat, the beard, THE BALLPARK. Also note that we are wearing B.Weezy shirts, even though you can't see them.

I'm looking forward to my weekend. Now off to get things accomplished.

Friday Photooooo

It's summer vacation. Which means I can do stuff like thisss...

Kind of in love with it. It's super subtle indoors. Looks SWEET in the sunlight.

Too bad it'll have to disappear in August. Sads.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday

I know, I didn't post again about the game last night. But wouldn't you rather nap than blog if you didn't get home until the wee hours?

Exactly.

But I do have this for you.

Happy Friday. Fear the Beard.

Do you want to hear something amazing?

I am SO lazy. When I got this new computer I made darn sure it had a slot for my camera card to go directly in. Easy photo uploading!

I still hate uploading photos. I can't tell you the last time I did it. I'm so lazy that I even skipped doing it for two days prior to this. Hence a webcam photo of my Tad last time he was here.

Funny story about this kid: hubby and I were at the movies Wednesday and my phone rings. It's his mom. I ignore once (I mean, we're in a movie). She calls again. So I worry a little and step out to answer. It's Tad. Telling me that his teacher gave him some flyer for day camp or something this summer and can he go. Yes, he asked ME for permission to do a camp this summer. Hey Tad, I love you and I would happily have you live with me, but you should probably ask your mom. Not me.

I'm still giggling. I love the kid to pieces.

So it's Friday and I'm looking at a busy weekend. Busy in a good way. Oh, except for the part where I have to do progress reports. I totes forgot that until now. Dang. Guess some mimosas are in order Sunday morning...

Happy Friday!

Friday Photo

I realized that I need to get out and take more pictures. Having a job and being a grown up interferes with that a bit.

So I don't know about the rest of y'all, but our first week of spring out here hasn't been very sunshiny.

This picture isn't actually from the last week, but the weather is the same. Super wet. Super windy. There was actually a funnel cloud spotted just a couple miles from school a couple days ago. It was early evening, so we weren't there, but still.

Can I let you in on a little secret? I actually kind of love this weather. I always have. But now it's harder to love, because my little ones get fidgety.

I may or may not have come back Wednesday to find out that one of my kids drew on another one while the sub was there. Rain + kids = no bueno.

I'm off to try and enjoy my Friday. Tad is staying the night tonight. We're going to see a movie, then tomorrow my mom and I are taking him to see his first musical production! Kinda. He's seen the Disney ones at the parks. Fun times!

Happy Friday!
