Several people have commented on how relaxed I have been of late, I think I have found the solution, NO WORK. The truth is I am getting a little bored and need someone to come play with me!!!! Today was the most beautiful day and I had people to play with.... but now everyone is working, so what do I do now????? I think that is why I am writing these bizarre blogs at 4am, because I know I don't have to wake up tomorrow morning to go to work and therefore if I really wanted to, which I don't because I think it's a waste) I could potentially sleep ALL DAY LONG!!! But of course, I won't I will probably go to the park or go to AMNH because I want to see the mystic creatures exhibit (because no one wants to go with me!!!) or maybe even...OHHHHHH I CAN PAINT!!! I have time to draw, I have time to paint, I have time to sketch, I have time to draw outside the lines because GOSH DARN IT the lines ARE NOT our friends, no matter what anyone says!!!! And this blog entry is exactly the reason why I should attempt to not be awake and actually sleep for once.

More than one of you have brought it to my attention that I have not blogged in awhile. Is it too hard to believe that I have actually been busy? Yeah it is pretty hard to believe. But it has been so nice outside so I have been going out...alot...with some really pretty awesome friends.
My random picture on the street from today is: DINO! He was just sitting there on the sidewalk, I am sure some of you are shocked that I didn't just pick'um up and take'um home with me. NO I DID NOT!
For those of you who missed it, the Moshav/ Heedoosh concert last Thursday night at the knitting factory was AWESOME! Good music, good company...it was just a good time. For those of you who are willing to come to brooklyn with me and the pet, check this out. (and note the awesome background picture too) I have a very flexible schedule so far this summer, so I want to hang out with people! I also want to go to shakespeare in the park for anyone interested.
Oh right, another story...I almost got stuck in the basement doing laundry today because they were working on the elevator. That would have been bad....

You Belong in Paris

Stylish and expressive, you were meant for Paris. The art, the fashion, the wine! Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park... You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.

What City Do You Belong In?

You Are Austin

A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. You're totally weird and very proud of it. Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way. Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick

What American City Are You?

People have been claiming that my rubber chicken purse creepily stares at them. I happen think its very funny and useful. I can actually fit two one liter bottles of water in it and still have room for other stuff! It's also great because it's waterproof. But I did recently take this picture of it and do see their point. But this doesn't mean I am going to cease using it. I know this has no relevance to anything, but I am in the middle of writing report cards and need a little mental break occasionally to refocus.

I want to go here! It looks so cool! Anyone wanna come with me? Glen Echo Park The Pet and I want to go on a road trip somewhere for the week of July 4th. If you can think up anything good, let us know!

The pet and I wandered around downtown today on a mission not accomplished but a lot of fun none the less. We started around Chinatown watching all the tourists get offered knockoffs of stuff then we stumbled into Little Italy and Sorrento cheese was having an Italian festival but the funniest part was they were giving out cheese samples but the funniest part of it was there was a string cheese mascot!!!

The thing about having a camera in my phone is now I snap the most random pictures that inspire me. The first set of pictures are actually my beautiful route I walk to work in the morning (I hope it doesn't get to hot!) and the second are random pictures that amused me. The paw print is a raccoon probably, but it was just one paw print without any corresponding ones which was just weird to me, but funny. The other one is the pet and I were at a street fair and there was a beer-mobile and well, thats just funny on its own.

Yet another reason to love thine roommate:

No no, no questioning the deliciousness.
And I keep meaning to hammer those damn nails into the floor, but I never remember, except after midnight.

you're right, I ate the keebler elves, that's why I am barefoot, elves are salty, all that water retention makes my shoes tight, that and I would rather stab myself in the feet with the nails jutting out of our floor and bleed profusely than ruin another perfectly good pair of socks.

I need to stop taking these silly online quizzes but they are kind of funny.

Just a little note...
Of the Yom Yerushalayim presentation in school today. The most emotional part was our school guard (a 6'6, 30 yr old, African man)describing what it meant for him to go to Israel with the 8th graders. He described how visiting Yad Vashem made him cry for the first time in 6 years since his father died. He described how meaningful it was to see all the people walking to the Kotel on Friday night, how the Israel he visited was nothing like they describe on TV....etc
If he can feel that much and describe the Holy Land in such a way, why can't we? He made a big point of saying we need to make sure not to take what we have for granted. He is right.

Every year I end up helping out prepare at school for the Salute to Israel parade and spend time painting banners etc. and it usually involves giving up alot of my free time to do so. Every year I say I adamantly refuse to do it the following year. But I get stuck doing it anyways. In a way I love it because it is the only time I really get to paint something major and miss the feel of paint in my nails but I end up doing most of it my self etc. This year I ended up doing it again but came up with something simple and got to do it instead of other things in school which made me really happy. So here are some pictures of what it looks like so far. It's a big banner so I had to take the pictures of separate parts of it but if you know the reference, you can piece it all together.

I feel like my blog readership has gone down so if you are still reading this please let me know. It has not been that I have had nothing to write lately but it has been a little bit slow being that it was Pesach and then work, and then I got a cold :(

I read this today. I thought it was inspiring.
Many Holocaust survivors have often wondered why they were spared when so many others died around them. Perhaps Prof. Librescu was spared then, so he could not only build a family and give the world his knowledge, but also as a final act, be there, at V Tech to save the lives of others. Life takes very strange turns, doesn't it?

Happy April, but I am not so much liking these spring showers we had today. It was my first day back after vacation to work and my first two classes I had less than 10 kids per class, it was sad, everyone extends their vacations except for us teachers.
