The Bachelor
If Brad and Ashley’s date was that awkward to watch on TV, I cannot imagine how painful it would have been IRL!!
If he keeps her I will be shocked!!
In other news, Emily is awesome!

Day from H-E-double hockey sticks!!
Today was a pretty crappy day all around!
Work was such a complete drain today! Not because it was busy or because I have a lot of work to do, because those things don’t seem to ever change!
Today was bad because my class is impossible! The best way to explain them is that they are like a bag of microwave popcorn. One pops, you settle it down and just when you think that things are...

Ummmm...
So for anyone that doesn’t know about The Knot, it is a wedding website that is full of great resources/ideas/vendors/pictures from real weddings. It was probably the #1 resource I used when planning our wedding. I became a member of The Knot during the planning process and then after the wedding I automatically became a member of The Nest, which is the homemaker/post-wedding side.
So you...

Wednesday Confession: TV Edition
I know that I have already proclaimed that I am a B-I-G TV fan. Last night, I had a few issues with two of my fav shows:
Glee: I understood that the message was that you are not supposed to drink (especially when you are in high school, and more importantly not when going to school), but I really didn’t feel like that came through. A little vomit was hardly enough to distract kids from...

How Did I Not Know About This?!
simplyme-simplyaliceanne:
Today is national margarita day!
Here we are last summer at the beach sipping on some margs courtesy of Lindsey’s margarita machine! I’m not sure if tonight’s dinner will include one but this “national holiday” will be a good excuse for one in the near future!

What a fantastic holiday!! Well, I would never want to not celebrate a holiday, sooooo...

Half Moon Bay Sunday
One of the reasons (besides having all our family here) that Matt and I still live in central California, despite all of its horrible press/ratings/downfalls/housing market/economy, is that the location is superb! I can leave my front door and travel to the snow or the beach in under two hours, not to mention the weather, actually having 4 seasons, and the fresh produce!
So Sunday Matt and I...

Long Weekend Rewind
I was fortunate enough to have a four day President’s Day weekend! It was a much needed break from school! Friday was used for sleeping in, having lunch with my grandma and sister, running a couple errands, and catching up on my DVR. Matt had to work late, really late, so I used the evening to watch a movie that Matt had no interest in watching…The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Valentine's Wine Weekend
I have been meaning to post pictures from the weekend before Valentine’s Day when we enjoyed wine tasting at Lodi’s Wine and Chocolate Weekend. Unfortunately we have been unable to locate my camera’s charger and the battery is dead! But the dilemma was solved tonight when I remembered that we got a USB memory card reader when we bought our new camera! So now I can actually bust...

David vs. Goliath
One of the seventh graders at our school was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer, about 7 months ago. We have a very small school community so when one of your own is down, you support, pray, help, reach out, and do whatever you can to help.
David’s dad came up with the clever analogy of the cancer being the Biblical Goliath and our David as, obviously, David…and...

Best. Glee. Episode. Ever.
One of my favorite songs from RENT on my favorite TV shows (and “Sing” by My Chemical Romance was pretty awesome too)!
It doesn’t get much better than that…especially after a horrendous day at work!
Glee = my natural mood enhancer

Happy Valentine's Day!
I am not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. For some reason I just do not feel like I need a day to tell/show people how much you love them…shouldn’t that happen everyday??
Buuuuttt just because I am not in love with the “holiday,” does not mean that I do not participate in it! I am not a grouch after all, and since I am an elementary school teacher, it is kinda...

The Bachelor...finally!
I have been dying to watch this ALL week and I’m just now able to watch Monday’s episode of The Bachelor.
First thing I have to say is I cannot believe that Brad gave Chantal O. a white button down shirt to wear after the rain storm! White of all colors! What a ridiculous cliché!
Michelle is a baby, as well as completely psycho! She has ‘stalker’ written all over her!!...

T.G.I.F.F
Please feel free to fill in the first “F” with whatever word best describes how you feel about it being Friday!! I am thinking “finally,” but there are a few others that would aptly fit in that blank (some more appropriate than others)!
Hope you all have a fabulous Friday!

The candy or the rapper?
Every week one student is our class’s “Star of the Week.” Along with being my right-hand boy/girl, they get to share on Friday anything that they would like to share about themselves with the class.
I give them a questionnaire to fill out that talks about why their parents chose their name, favorite food, favorite book, favorite subject, what they want to be when they grow up,...

Awkward Email
I received an email today from one of the 6th graders (I taught him last year and he was a bit of a handful, not to mention smart and very wise beyond his years), and in the email was a link.
I clicked on the link and it took me to a site where I could order Cialis, Viagra, or even the female Viagra! Hmmmmm….
My first thought was that he accidentally inserted my email to the receivers...

Superbowl Sunday
We had a very low-key Superbowl viewing party. Matt and I were joined by my sister and the Yelton family (Liz, Justin, and their 3-year-old son, Ben). Justin and Matt have been friends since high school, and a part of my life for 10 years!
With the long day I had with my student council friends on Saturday, I was not in the mood to really party-it-up on Sunday.
I grocery shopped in the...

Saturdays
Saturdays, in my mind, are supposed to be a day to enjoy and, also, a day to get things done. Usually our Saturday mornings are lazy while the afternoons are filled with errands or lunches or catching up with friends/families or just being home. Saturday is my day to NOT think about school or the papers that should be graded.
Yesterday was different.
Early yesterday morning, at 7:00 am, myself...

Wednesday Confession
Hello, my name is Lindsey, and I am a travel-aholic.
I cannot help it! There are many negative things that a person can become addicted to, so I feel as if traveling is a pretty good one to admit to!
I have been traveling since I was little. Most of the trips I went on were with my grandparents (Nana and Poppie). I consider myself extremely fortunate and so blessed to have been able to travel...

Look A Nook!
On Sunday I bought a Nook!
I have been having an internal debate for months on whether or not I wanted to purchase an e-reader.
I love, love, love books…the way they smell, their feel, the covers, the excitement of buying a new one, and I didn’t know if I was ready to give all of this up.
After chatting with Ellen, who is a Nook-owener, and the lovely saleswoman at Barnes &...
