Boring Life

Despite the fact that I feel like I'm always 'busy' the past few days have been nice and quiet. There was no school Friday, but I did go up for part of the football game, and then we left early and went to a haunted house. Eek. Saturday I only left my house to go on a short run--I relaxed and cleaned the day away. Sunday I went up to school for a little while to get book fair taken down and to play some basketball. Then, we went on a walk, out to dinner and to Target.

Today, I managed to oversleep until 7:15, which pretty much set the tone for the day: behind. 

Here are a couple of pictures from the last few days, but truly, my life has been pretty boring!

I just love this soup. It's Pioneer Woman's cheesy corn chowder, with extra bacon and some jalepeño white cheddar cheese. This is one of my favorite recipes!

I finished Allegiant, which is the third book in one of my favorite series ever. This is the quote I put on my quote of the day board school. (The quote of the day is much like this blog--usually, it gets changed every 4 days, or so.) I also had a nice hour long Twitter conversation with a student about the book on Saturday. I love that technology gives me access to kids, even when we aren't at school. My conversation with her was deeper than any of the conversations I've had with adults about it!

Speaking of connecting with people, I tweeted to Kristian Bush--guitarist for Sugarland--and he responded. I stopped everyone in the middle of class and showed off about it. I told them if it had been Jennifer Nettles replying that they would've needed to call the nurse. I'm still hoping for that, but not really counting on it.

Did most of my hanging out with this guy over the weekend--isn't he so handsome?!

Pacino is definitely more handsome than this guy. I wonder what the neighborhood folks think when we are laying in their yards and taking pictures of all the Halloween decorations? Who does things like this, anyway? We saw like, 5 different yards with "cemeteries," plus 3 giant inflatable spiders/ghosts/Frankensteins. I wish I had the money to do this, because if I did, I'd spend my money on much better things. Like food. Or coffee creamer. Or new boots. Or sweaters.
