alrighty, it's been WAY too long since i last updated...
and i forgot to bring my USB cable home to Texas so i can't upload any new pics
but i hope Christmas was very Merry!!
mine included some relaxing, a wee bit of family drama, and a LOT of EATING...!!!
will update more about the holidays next time...
but for now, this is all old stuff: lessons learned in early to mid December:
-having guest lectures in class is awesome! H came and taught my 4th graders about her work designing satellites and my kids *loved* it!! i need to get more of my friends into my classroom...
-LA is beautiful!
-swallowing pills w/o water can be PAINFUL! one tiny pill got stuck in my throat for a couple days and did a fair amount of damage...even a week afterwards, i was still feeling the effects of inflammation and scraping inside my esophagus. *ouch!* i couldn't swallow anything except water and rice porridge, it hurt to breathe, i couldn't sleep laying down, and my back muscles ached from being slightly hunched over all the time. yikes!
-but God works in mysterious ways... =) being so low energy from that darn pill proved a blessing to my high school best friend. i spent the 2 days before her wedding w/ her, and she had been a bit nervous about the possibility of me completely wearing her out (i'm a high-energy chatterbox, she's not. heehee) but since i couldn't do much except sit very still, everything worked out great!
-& last but not least, gingerbread construction is *fun*! esp. w/ the right (and special) partner who doesn't mind your control-freakiness =)
it's been a fabulous december!
and i think i'll be on a plane when 2008 rolls around, so Happy (early) New Year!!
