Taste the Rainbow

Our school has a secret (or not so secret) candy stash filled with my favorites, and I visit it too frequently. I also have candy in my room, but I tend to buy candy that I will not eat. Chocolate is not housed in my room while Starbursts, Sweet Tarts, and Bit O' Honey are housed in my room. My problem is that the last bag also contained Skittles. For some reason, I am a huge fan of Skittles. After grabbing three candy bars (fun sized?) from the secret stash this morning, I thought I shouldn't visit it again, so I decided to open my candy after lunch. This led to unprofessional and unhealthy behavior on my part. I spent the afternoon eating Skittles while the students wrote in their journals and took tests. The good news is that most of the Skittles are gone leaving the unsavory candy.

FYI- When I give kids candy, I they get whatever I drop on the desk unless it is the Bit O' Honey. I would never make ANYONE eat those nauseous treats. Some kids actually ask for these, and I am more than willing to give them two instead of one. For some reason today a student wanted to know what was in these morsels. While commenting probably honey, I looked it up online. It seems Bit O' Honey really only has a bit of honey.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa . "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal." My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active. Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside. December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity. I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food). Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country . President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" . Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group. The...

What if... The Delivery

Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska. When she opened the box, she was confused. Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag. When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun. She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind. During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt. When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird. The friend was in a state of denial. Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments. She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt. After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened. The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
