Color Run

Renee & I before the Color Run -- very clean!

Alice felt a little blue after awhile during the Color Run!  She was the one in the color "dust" the most!  Love it!!

Almost finished with my first 5K -- and loving it!!!

Me & Mary Beth at the end -- nice & colorful -- as it should be!!!

Renee & I at the end -- so fun & colorful!!

My ear was very, very blue, and I was colorful everywhere!!!!

Pink & yellow hair...I wanted to leave it for a couple days, but the color was mainly corn starch, so my hair was VERY dry!

a peek at my day (in words)

5 a.m.: wake up...get ready for the day...pack a lunch...
6 a.m.: (or shortly after): leave the house...drive to the commuter lot for carpooling...
6:45 a.m.: arrive at work...turn on computers...get psyched for the upcoming day...
7:10 a.m.: clock in...meet student from parent pick-up...escort to locker and first class...
7:30 - 9:05 a.m.: first block -- either science with a student or pe with a different student...both can be very interesting to be a part of...currently learning the scientific method and ping pong and ultimate frisbee...
9:05 - 10:45 a.m.: second block -- either teaching math to a group (dividing fractions & measuring with a protractor) or pe with a student...fun groups of good kids...
10:45 - 11:30 a.m.: art with a student -- current project is a monochromatic still life...
11:30 a.m. - 12 p.m.: lunch...time to relax a little & hopefully get some reading in :)
12 - 12:45 p.m.: choir with a student...they are doing some fun songs...one is called "One For the Altos" -- it is so funny ('cause it is true!)
12:45 - 2:15 p.m.: help out in a resource classroom...or making copies...or laminating things...or inputting grades...or doing whatever i am asked to do...
2:15 - 2:20 p.m.: walk student to parent pick-up...
2:20 - 2:40 p.m.: do some prep for the next day...clock out...start home...
3:10 p.m.: back to the commuter lot!
3:30 p.m.: HOME!

the evening may involve mad science (in a couple weeks once it starts back up) or church or cornerstone or confirmation class or errands or whatever else needs to happen! 

what does your day look like??

another goal!

i am hopping on the photo a day bandwagon!  i will be taking them on my phone & posting them on facebook...if nothing else, i will have those photos of this year!  i plan on doing a 12x12 page for each month or week with just the photos and a brief "caption" for each...now i just need to find the most cost effective way to print photos from instagram!

Happy 2012!!

Ok, so i went back and found my "goals" for 2011 and how i did:

1. eat less/move more -- not near as well as i should have :(  the eating less worked some of the time, but moving more did not really happen...
2. scrap a lot -- i did at times...there were spurts of a lot of scrapping, then spurts of hardly any
3. travel more -- nada!  i went no where except work this year
4. get a certified teaching job! -- unfortunately no...grrrrrr!!
5. stay positive -- this was hard, but for the most part i did, or i at least did not go all negative on people i know
6. be a better blogger -- this was off & on as well -- i blogged every day a month a couple times, but not like i should have...especially this month, i would be reading blogs & think that i needed to go blog, and then i wouldn't...


And here is what I want to accomplish in 2012...
1. eat less/move more
2. scrap a lot...make sure to have books to deliver to cardinal glennon hospital
3. travel -- not sure where, but somewhere, anywhere!!
4. get a certified teaching job
5. continue being positive
6. be a better blogger


what a broken record i am!!!
