Drip

Busy day. Long day. Took one picture. Bleh. Threw on a texture. Tolerable....

Pig on the Playground

Meet Bacon. She came to play with us at school for Cowboy Day!

You should have heard her squealing in the hallway when it was time to go home. It was as loud as a fire drill!

The truth

Student: "You know those keys you get in the mail that go to a car? Well, my mom took me to the dealership and I won a car!"

Me (giving him a look): "Are you sure?"

Student: "Well, that's not really the truth.... (Pause) Ummmm.... But I did win second place and that was a flat screen TV!"

Me (still giving him the look)

Student: "I think I should just eat my lunch now."

This from the student who tried to convince me that he went parachuting over the weekend. There are a lot of tall tales that come from his mouth.

One day, he'll probably learn to tell the truth. For now, I just enjoy the heck out of him.

Firecracker, firecracker

I have no idea what kind of plant this is but it is blooming in front of my house. It reminds me of a firecracker!

On the run

I wish I could take my camera with me on some of my runs. I've seen the coolest things (owls peering out of trees, gorgeous flowers, fabulous sunlight, hopping rabbits, and more). Sometimes, simple little things get my attention. For instance, there is an old cemetery I love to run by - the moss covered oak trees offer shade and there is just a serene feel to the area. Yesterday, I noticed some of the leaves from the ivy that hangs over a wall were beginning to turn red. So, early this morning, I went for a walk and headed back to the cemetery to get this picture.

I still want a camera to take on my runs. Are there any that are drop-proof, sweat-proof, and basically don't weigh anything?

Princess time

This dress, purchased at a vintage store, turned me into the queen of the school one day a couple of years ago (I got to make decrees all day long. One was no tests for the day!). Tonight, I used the dress to get dressed up to be a princess for a Halloween party.

When I first spied this dress, I knew I had to have it! The details are awesome and there are even little feathers all along the skirting. It just made me laugh though I probably shouldn't laugh at a dress that was once a wedding dress. Because seriously, this was the dress someone wore to declare their love for someone.

When was it ever cool to get married in feathers?

Dinner for one

Actually, I had dinner with friends... Indian cuisine. Want to smell my curried breath?
