Election Day

rain, rain, go away...

Rain, rain, go away

Come again another day

Ms Amber's class would like to play

So rain, rain, please go away!

bridesmaid-ing

Spent the afternoon at the flea market being measured for my jacket for my friend's oriental wedding. Chinese sizing is depressing. A 3XL was too small for my "blessed" frame. Anyway, the orange-y one is the one I'll be wearing in April (well, that's the fabric mine will be made from anyway)

as promised...

After 24 hours we put the battery back in my phone and the backlight worked! Until I tried to change a setting. So we hit the Verizon store this evening. They didn't have my exact phone in stock. I had the choice of holding on to my phone while they had a replacement FedEx'd to me (2 business days wait) or slightly downgrading and replacing my phone right away. So I gave up the VCast capability (not like I use it anyway) and went for the downgrade. Best part? Since my phone was still under warranty, this was abso-freakin'-lutely free!

my new wardrobe

Today was my first day in scrubs at work. That's the new uniform...sort of. We have the option of switching to scrubs (but only teal or brown ones) or sticking with khakis and collared shirts. I chose scrubs because I'm tired of messing up my clothes with the kids. So I went to work in my brown scrubs today - pretty comfy. My husband said I looked like a nurse from UPS. Ha. Ha. Ha. He's so funny.

disconnected

I had to go without my cell phone today, and I thought I would go insane. Funny how something that I lived my life perfectly content without for 24 years can become essential to my everyday life.

The backlight on my cell went out yesterday evening and hasn't come back. When I tried the camera, I could barely make out the error message on the display "busy - try again." I'm getting a freaking busy signal on my camera??? Sensei-Hubby did a little research online last night and ran across the suggestion of removing the battery for 24 hours, so we're gonna see if that fixes the problem. Otherwise, expect a picture of the Verizon store for my Saturday edition.

Lesson Plans

I hate this part of my job...well, not really. I actually enjoy it from the organizational angle. It's all the writing involved that I loathe. Fill out the lesson plan book, then fill out a report sheet to be turned in each week. Keeps me occupied during naptime though.
