“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future finer than it will be.”
Marcel Pagnol

Odds and ends

LIBRA - The Harmonizer (Sept 23 - Oct 22)Nice to everyone they meet. Can't make up their mind. Have own unique appeal. Creative, energetic, and very social. Hates to be alone. Peaceful, generous. Very loving and beautiful. Flirtatious. Give in too easily. Procrastinators. Very gullible.

{got this in an email and thought it had some accurate things.}

Going on to day 6 tomorrow of summer break (not counting weekends). Staying fairly busy.

Nails (finger)
purple hair
Coach purse
finger nail polish
LOM binder
Any from boys' beach trip

Ciao for now.

School's out for Summer!

"Summer time and the livin' is easy."

Or so I hope! Summer break, for me, officially started yesterday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. Went to celebrate with a few collegues at Hula Hut in Austin. Had a Lake Austin Lemonade and fish tacos! Yum! Took a boat ride with the girls through a place Joylynn called "Venice of Austin" Evidently it's this island of absolutely gorgeous, humongous homes. Breathtaking! If only . . . .

Today, started the day with WW meeting (getting back into the swing of things there), a trip to Archiver's (where i saw a announcement of a travel album class i want to take; they won't be signing up people until the 15th :( oh well), and to the post office to pick up my package. Now i'm home and just gonna chill, do my Bible study homework, shower, and whatever else hits my fancy. I'll start getting into some housework on Monday! Until then, i'm going to enjoy the hot weekend.

Things i need to photograph:
my makeup
Bath & body stuff
self portrait
hair products
my new Coach purse (a student gave to me)
teacher gifts

Here's to summer freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Memo to Self . . .

Photos i need to take:
American flag
Chuy's sign
medications
drug store
gas station
Ikea
Starbuck's

may more inspiration hit me soon . . .

Trying something new

Okay, I had an idea that I hope will help me 'catch up' on my 365 photo project that i've fallen waaaayyy behind on. I'm thinking that if i can at least document here either daily or weekly about something, I can at least go back later and takethe pic! Here's hoping . . .

So for this weekend:
Saturday - a pic of movie theater or Terminator movie sign (saw it with a friend)
Sunday - Bible
Monday - a flag for Memorial Day
Tuesday - my teacher desk

I'll come back and do rest on Wed. or Thurs.

American Idol Finale

Getting some AI at 9:30 p.m. Had it recorded while at a ladies Bible study. Nice fast-forwarding thru commercials. Who will win?? No matter what, i will buy both of their cd's.



OMGoodnes, I'm hearing Adam sing "Beth" by Kiss! So good. Just wish he liked girls instead of guys.



Looking forward to holiday weekend. This school year is dragging on tooooooo long. And I love my kids and parents. It's just not right going into June!



More later,

Long time, no posty!

Hello! I'm alive and well. Just gonna bullet some highlights/lowlights of the past 2 weeks:

*recovered from surgery and loving being period free!
*lost 5 lbs. only to put most of it back on. I just keep riding this weight roller coaster; need to get SERIOUS!
*Why are we still in school when pretty much all students and parents are DONE? I still wonder what happened to that new law that passed to start school after Labor Day and end in May?????
*Troubles with the oldest boy child and his 'girlfriend' Don't like her - attitude to be specific. He's making unwise choices - argh!
*Can't wait to have time in summer to play with camera
*Didn't have good Mother's day = again the teenage boys were not so loving, mainly my younger one.
*Loving AI this season and so glad the top 3 were great guys with different styles. Now down to 2 - Kris and Adam. Had thought Adam would be the no-brainer winner, but Kris could now take Danny's votes and come out on top. Adam will be like a Chris Daughtry = he'll make it no matter what!
*Have I said that i'm ready for school to be out! I just feel like i'm baby sitting and doing more and more behavior control than i have all year!
*Looking into taking a photography class over the summer, maybe thru Precision Camera. Heard they have reasonably priced, good classes.
