You Look Tired


I'm teaching an after school program.  We're working on reading and writing skills using Blogger and Feedly.  Yesterday we started with Blogger.  The students wrote about themselves including a bit about how they see themselves as readers and writers.  Each student took a picture using their computer at the top of their post.  I did the same when I returned home.  Today we read each other's blogs and commented.  As one student looked at my picture, she said, "You look tired."  I asked her if she could keep the tired comment in her head while she said aloud, "You look beautiful."  Of course, I didn't get the beautiful comment, only a confused look.

Today wasn't a complete loss.  I told my after lunch class I wanted to be referred to as "your majesty".  One student asked, "Can we call you Ms. Majesty?"  As I was telling them that would be fine, another student called me Ms. America.  Of course, I said that either was fine.  Some groaned while another asked about Ms. Universe.  I told them I thought Ms. Universe was a bit too much, and we should stick with Ms. America for now.

That's hilarious. I'm going to see if I can get the sixers to call me those things. Might be a real boost.

I told the Thirdlanders to treat the book as they would a nuclear reactor.

They seemed in to it.

I need to get my kids into blogging. Thanks for the reminder, Your Majesty.

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.
