6-Day(epic)-Fail... 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, & 125/365

Okay, I really don't know what was going on this week, but it was weird and somehow I ended up missing 6 DAYS of posts! I'm officially the worst blogger...ever. I admit it; I'm guilty.  But I'm pretty sure (like I said, weird week) that I took at least one picture every day, so it's not a total fail.  However, I should warn you, these are probably some of the lamest pictures I've taken, so...at least you've been warned. Don't judge me.


Day 120 of 365...(Mon. 5/2)

I StumbledUpon this quote, and for some reason it really struck me...

so I wrote it on a sticky note (or 2) and stuck it to my mirror :) 

Day 121 of 365...(Tues. 5/3)

Tuesday night I was getting ready for my science lesson on Wednesday--we built "spinners" (tops) that looked like this, and they were actually really fun! I know it looks lame in the photo, but they're really quite entertaining. To an elementary school student... or teacher ;)

Day 122 of 365...(Wed. 5/4)

These boots are made for walkin'...

love my cowboy boots. 

Day 123 of 365...(Thurs. 5/5)

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Mmmm tacos...

and Corona ;)

Day 124 of 365...(Fri. 5/6)

This is hanging in 'my' room at my parents house...

my sissy did it, and it always makes me happy and reminds me that I'm home. 

Day 125 of 365...(Sat. 5/7)

This is one of my baby brothers, Brayden, and I realized the other day that I have like 2 pictures of him, and 0 of him and me...so I made him sit down and snap a couple :) 

I love the weekends that I can come home and just hang out with my family--it's always a nice little break from school (even though I should usually be doing hw while I'm here, I rarely actually do).  And I would just like to say (a little early) "Happy Mother's Day!" and "Thank You!" to all of the amazing women out there :)

Sweet Sunshine 118 & 119/365

It finally started acting like Spring this weekend! Woohoooo! It's about time, too.  Unfortunately, it's not supposed to stay...rain all week instead. Bummer.  Well, at least I got to enjoy it a bit without classes getting in the way (although, homework did...) Also, hooray for May! 

Day 118 of 365...(Sat. 4/30)

More pretty tulips in front of mi casa :) 

and some pretty purple...flowers...too!

Day 119 of 365...(May Day) 

Mmm...sunshine means many things...and BBQ is always one of those things :)

Yummm (don't mind the odd-looking burger patty) these were so de-eeee-lic-iousss...I had two of 'em! 

And I'm really, really wishing/hoping/crossing my fingers that the sun keeps shining this week--I'm so tired of the rain! And I want more BBQ...mmm...

Day to Day 115, 116 & 117/365

Well, aside from the math test on Monday, this week was pretty low key (for once). However, now I'm in for it next week with another lesson to write and teach, and an essay about utopia...riiiight, about that...(I have no idea what I'm going to say).  Anyway...let's get to the photos...


Day 115 of 365...(Wed. 4/27)

Math class. 

I swear, we're like a bunch of kindergarteners when we have manipulatives...it's a little ridiculous...but so much fun.

Day 116 of 365...(Thurs. 4/28)

Maddie was being an Indian-Pirate...nice. Also, that's the new Barbie she got for her birthday...and she sparkles! ;) 

Day 117 of 365...(Today)

Mmm...cookies. 

Looks like I have a cookie monster on my hands too (good thing I happen to love this one).

Flowers Growing From a Toilet 113 & 114/365

Well, the math midterm was...a math midterm. It was bit of a struggle, but I don't think I did too bad...we'll see.  I forgot how much I loathe algebra...really and truly loathe it. 

Anyway...

Day 113 of 365...

Mmm...Andy and I made fajitas on Monday night and they were oh-so-good.

My main contribution: the guac. :)

Day 114 of 365...

I'm not really sure what to say about this...

It appeared on campus today and it was just way too bizarre to not take a photo. 

I can't believe this quarter is already half over...it feels like it just started! Which, I suppose, is a good thing--however, I still have so much stuff to do in my classes and I'm not really sure how it's all going to go down... Yikes!

Catching Up 108, 109, 110, 111 & 112/365

I'm not even going to try to make excuses this time, you all know I'm lazy and busy. It can  be really a bad combination.  Well, like I always say, at least I'm still taking pictures! Even if I'm not posting them.


Day 108 of 365...(Wed. 4/20)

Okay, so this photo is horribly and embarrassingly blurry and for that I'm very sorry-it was late and I was struggling to find a photo for Wednesday. This is another example of my extreme need for organization--I put all of the materials for my lesson on Wed. into envelopes labeled by the table group they were for. Nice. 

Day 109 of 365...(Thurs. 4/21)

Bham graffiti. 

Day 110 of 365...(Fri. 4/22)

Pirating around with the kiddos...you know, the usual Friday night festivities.

Day 111 of 365...(Sat. 4/23)

Farmer's Market with my Andy :) 

It was such a beautiful, sunny day! And it was actually pretty warm--minus the wind chill. 

It's about time we got some sun around here!

Day 112 of 365...(Today)

Hoppy Easter! ;)

Alright, I admit it, I didn't make these...one of my roommates did...but I did eat one! And I'll definitely be eating more...so yummy.

Math midterm tomorrow...yikes! At least I'm not the lead teacher in science this week, that would be super stressful! As if math midterms aren't bad enough on their own... 

Back to studying. 

My "Linear-Sequential" Life 103, 104, 105, 106, & 107/365

I know, I keep swearing that I'll stop this missing-five-days-in-a-row business...but sometimes I just can't help it. Well, okay, sometimes I'm really lazy, but mostly I'm busy! The last week and a half have been a little insane...I'll be glad when it's Friday!

I did manage to finish out the week of purple photos! Hey, at least I still take pictures every day, even if I don't post them.


Day 103 of 365...(Fri. 4/15)

Purple coffee cup=purple life saver.

<3

Day 104 of 365...(Sat. 4/16)

Do I even need to say anything? 

(I was mod-podging with magazine clippings when I found this).

Day 105 of 365...(Sun. 4/17)

Please notice the purple ink :)

These are my note cards for the science lesson my group did on Monday (which went great, again--love this group). 

Day 106 of 365...(Mon. 4/18)

My planner...this isn't even as crazy as it gets...it's exploding with Post-It notes by finals week. 

Anal retentive, you say? 

I prefer "linear sequential," thank you.

Day 107 of 365...(Today)

I don't know if I should really be posting these...it kind of just brings my incredible organization with schoolwork to light. Neurotic? Well, okay, maybe a little. 

I did color-code the 9-page science lesson plan I wrote for tomorrow...

It's my first solo lesson tomorrow...ohhh boyyy...I am definitely nervous about this...even though my group will be there to back me up, and it's not like the kids are difficult.  I'll probably have nightmares about my lesson going horribly wrong--teacher nightmares, they're already starting.

Handful of Purple 101 & 102/365

This week is flying by--always a good thing--I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday! I'm ready for the weekend. 

Well, I went a little bit out of the box with my purple pictures for yesterday and today, so be excited...

Day 101 of 365...(Wed. 4/13)

I found the end of the rainbow! Well, okay, I saw the end of the rainbow. Also, I know you can't really see the purple in the rainbow, but just know it's there and contributing to my list of purple things this week. 

Also, it snowed the morning after this glorious rainbow. Shoulda known. Thanks a lot Mother Nature. 

Day 102 of 365...(Today)

I would like to dedicate this photo to my dear friend Erin, who only likes the purple Starburst Jellybeans :) 

Update-the science lesson went really well on Wednesday! Hooray! Now we have one more group lesson on Monday, and then I teach all by myself next Wednesday--Yikes! It should be okay though, and a little nervousness isn't all bad...right?
