tangerine...

...is a good book.

I observed 8th graders today. They were big and loud. I'm a little afraid.

Five of my boys wrote me a little note, telling me I had to bring tennis shoes on our next sunny day so that I could join them in a soccer game (they've been persistent for 5 weeks now, so I might give in).

A week from now, I will be traveling the Pacific Northwest with my sister and Ishta, and life will be relaxing.

Tonight I am reading Tangerine. It is riveting.

haha, you think 8th graders are scary, try sub-ing for a junior/senior class. WORD.

In other news, I love you a lot. I'm excited to see you in a couple weeks, because there will be so much camaraderie, I'm getting tingles just thinking about it. :)

I think your right, you are the only person who reads my blogs. I don't think its cause I write boringly, but more so cause my subject matter is boring. Meh, oh well.

I hear the way to ensure your dominance of 8th graders is to pick the biggest one and beat him/her up in front of as many kids as possible.


wait... maybe I am thinking of prison.
