Our fourth grade teacher told me about this...
Parent: We didn't get the Sarah Palin book that my son is supposed to read.
Fourth grade teacher: That's because he is supposed to be reading "Sarah Plain and Tall."

Anniversary Celebration
Matt and I went out to dinner last night to celebrate our anniversary. We decided to go to Ernie’s on the Brickwalk (one of Stockton’s few fine dining choices). The reason that we chose to frequent this particular establishment was not because we enjoy spending money on expensive dinners, but because we had a gift certificate! When did we get this gift certificate, you may...

heymissy replied to your photoset: Part 2…
What a beautiful wedding! Where were you married at? That church is amazing!
Since I have no idea how to answer heymissy back in a more private manner, I figure I would just post it here! Before I answer that, I want to say thank you to heymissy for the lovely compliment!
We were married in Morris Chapel at University of the Pacific in Stockton,...

SPORCLE - Can you name the 1990s song from the... →
Thanks to lilmissobsessive, who posted this last night! My husband and I had a great time with this, trying to figure out the songs without the lyrics! It was so much fun, and after we finished the 1990s songs, we searched the site and found this and this that were both equally entertaining! Not to toot my own horn, but I totally schooled Matt on naming songs!
We probably looked a bit silly...
Lipstick in School (an email I received from a...
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the...

Wednesday Morning Confession
I have a confession, weeelll, actually two confessions to make…
There is a high school senior that comes into my classroom twice a week as a community service requirement to graduate. I cannot help the fact that every time he comes in, I feel like I am back in high school and hoping that the “cool” kid likes me. I am almost ten years older than my aid, but, no matter how I try...

It's the Little Things in Life...
Matt and I stopped at Target after we dropped poor, frightened Max off at neighboring PetSmart for his grooming appointment. There are those days when I walk into Target and I really do not have the desire to shop and look around. Then there are those other, more frequent days when I cannot pull myself away…today was one of those days, and it was an extremely successful day!!
Matt picked...

My Evening In a (very large) Nutshell...
Got home from work, played with my dog, and watched 2 old episodes of “The Deep End”
Received a hurtful text message from my sister-in-law about invitations I made and mailed for Matt’s mom’s surprise 50th birthday party (we are throwing the party together)
Vibrating with anger, I waited impatiently for Matt to get home so I could vent
Vented anger and heard about the...

Running Out of Time
There are exactly 12 days left until Matt and I celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary! I am extremely excited, and amazed at the same time, because I cannot believe it has really been two years since we said, “I do.”
We came up with an anniversary celebration schedule so that the guessing game of “who gets to plan this year” is nonexistent! Matt plans the odd...

Matt and I talking about address labels for HIS...
Me: Did you get the addresses I emailed you and make the labels?
Husband: No, I didn't get them.
Me: You never received them, or you never checked you email?
Husband: I never got your email.
Me: Really?
Husband: Yeah.
Me: You are lying.
Husband: Yeah, how did you know?
Me: Your computer is still signed in to my email!!
5 minutes later...
Me: Did you text your stepdad to get the rest of the addresses?
Husband: Yes, I guess he is working cause he didn't write back.
Me: Really or are you lying like you just did about the email??
Husband: I'm lying.

SF Trip Recap
The view of the Golden Gate Bridge as we drove over the Bay Bridge into SF yesterday. Despite the rough beginning, I had a wonderful time with my sister!
Here is Chelsea Handler signing my sister’s book! I, unfortunately, have to say that I was a tad disappointed with her show. It just was not as funny as I expected her to be. She did look very cute, thin, and a little drunk (there...
"He's a keeper."
This was said multiple times today about my fantastic husband! I love him more than anything else in the whole world, and today was a perfect example of why I love him so much and what a great man he is. He gave up his Saturday morning and afternoon to help me, some fellow teachers, and our student council with our school’s 1st ever E-Waste drop. This was something that I brought to the...

My Review of The Help...a must read novel!! →
A Helpful Hint To My Students:
If you are thinking about passing notes in class, please reconsider. It is not a good idea, and I will probably catch you! If you think that note passing is a good idea and you still want to do it, please DO NOT write them about me!! It is not smart to pass a note about your treacher!
It is ESPECIALLY not smart to write this note, the one that mentions me, and then leave it on your desk for me...

Naked Turkey Veggie Burgers
I am trying to be a better wife. One of the areas I am working on is cooking. I love to cook, but I just do not have the energy on most nights to prepare dinner, let alone decide what to cook for dinner (this, I think, is the more exhausting of the two). So tonight I prepared one of the meals that we have come to really enjoy…naked turkey veggie burgers. They are scrumptious, light, and...
Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang
Chelsea Handler’s new book came out today!
In a book teaser, Eonline.com says:
“Family moments are fair game, whether it’s writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. It’s open season on her love life, from playing a prank on her boyfriend (using a ravioli, a fake autopsy and the Santa...

What a day...
So today did not start off too hot. It all started when I was on the freeway, trying to merge into the slow lane so I could exit and get to work. I put me blinker on to signal to the driver in the slow lane, that I would please like to move over. There was about 3/4 of a mile until my exit. The horribly rude driver that was in the slow lane decided that she did not want to let me in.

I Heart Reading!!
Thanks a fellow avid readers and fabulous friend, Kyle, I have been introduced to yet another modern day networking tool…Goodreads. This is a site that helps you remember the books that you want to read, check out reviews, rate the books you have read, and even sign up for a “bookswap” with other members of the site. I have not had a chance to see everything the site has to...

With all your faults I love you still...
My husband came home from work the other night toting a big purchase. Before he came home from work, he, very helpfully, stopped by the Apple store to get my iPhone fixed (the screen shattered about a month ago when my purse fell of the counter with my phone in it!), and while he was there he bought an iMac! This is not the part that shocked me since I knew he was planning on buying a new...

Randy to the rescue!
Thank goodness for good friends! In my search for the prefect guest room accessories, I found 3 decorative pillows at HomeGoods on Saturday to go on our futon. The only problem is that I need 4 and HomeGoods in Stockton did not have any more! I spent 45 minutes yesterday calling other area stores to find out if they had any more. Luckily I found a match at the HomeGoods in Brentwood! That...
