funny things & a few photos

 rode my bike to the bank & around town on wednesday. then took a photo while still wearing my dorky helmet. awesome.

 a FEW zinnias finally surprised me & made an entrance

 happy birthday to ME.... only about 1.5 months early, haha. I wore them today for the first time.

 after back-to-school night.

oh, hello, friday! let me welcome you by putting on gym shorts the second i walk in the door.

hilarious things, via my job teaching 4th graders:
"oh, that's a watch? cool watch" (i ignored these comments because he was supposed to be writing an answer to a test that he's still not finished after one hour and 30 minutes..... grrrr....)

"mrs. alberts, i like your boots".... then... "i like your boots, too. i like your style"

"i don't believe in pets" (overheard as my co-workers chatted in the hallway outside my classroom)

sad things, via my job:
two girls cried today, like seriously cried. okay, they balled. my garbage can was filled to the brim with used tissues (can't wait for flu season, jeez!). one girl had a headache because she forgot her glasses at home. though i can't help wondering if that's because her classmates told her the glasses were too big for her face yesterday. darn.
