What do you believe?

Steph gave me this idea. I was checking out her blogg (wich I love to read, and am highly entertained, and always reminded of what is important) and she had a list of the things that she believes in...



I believe in happily ever after.

I believe that self foaming soap is not as affective as regular soap.

I believei n butterfly kisses, and real kisses, and chocolate kisses too.

I believe that children are what makes this world a better place.

I believe that chips and salsa are the best things EVER invented.

I am a firm believer in high quality fat...if you are going to eat something bad for you go all the way!! (that is also why I eat death on a stick. aka...corn dogs.)

I believe that people are generally good.

I believe in waiting at least fifteen minutes for anyone.

I believein being on time...almost.



So, what is it that you believe in? I want to know.

Picture Tag

It is sad to say that I don't have any pictures on my computer...so I don't have a 6th picture in a 6th file like Brit wants...so, I will give you a picture that I took for the Olive Garden picture contest (but never entered)...I had fun taking the picture one Sunday, and I though that I did good work...What do you think???

I tag: Kaye, Stephanie, and Katie. What is your 6th picture in your 6th file??

P.S.

Jake is still at NTC, and we are "freinds"

New Developments...

To those of you who actually read this and care about me, know that I am doing everything safely, when I tell you that I met a guy on the internet. His name is Nate. He lives in Pocatello, and is a really good guy. I like the way that he treats me and how he talks to me. I am very excited to see where this goes!!! I am sorry if this is the first you have heard of him...we have been talking a lot, and the great thing is that we bolth have Verizon, so it is free for bolth of us...
I am pretty sure that this will be a good thing. So keep me and him in your prayers so that we can have the Spirit and feel its influance to do what God wants us to do, and to be safe. We planned a trip for me to Idaho to spent Thanksgiving together, and I am Excited to see him. I am also excited to see my family.
Other than that, things are good here...I am happy, my jobs are going better, and I get to talk to a good guy....

Life Goes On in Texas

Life in Texas is still going on. I am still working two jobs. I am still considering the options in my life. I am trying to keep my options open with teaching, and management. I am attending institute, and FHE as much as I can. I am still hanging out with Jake...if you consider hanging out as him being in California at NTC, and me here paying his rent, as hanging out...then yep, we are still hanging out. I was sick last night. I am feeling better and that gave me time to pay mine and Jake's rent. he asked me to pay it since he is gone for the month. I thought it would be easy. So, to make a long story short, he owes me $40 or a REALLY GREAT date!! I told him so, but I haven't heard from him in a week. I guess he is busy.
So, other than that, life goes on. I am doing well. Working on being better, and then on to be my best. I have a meeting with Wendy G. a lady in the stake that gave our last fireside about how to get ahead at work, and it inspired me, and hopefully she will give me the networking tips, and numbers I need to get ahead. Thanks for reading!! I hope that you are all well, and I am happy to report that I finished Twilight. It was good and well worth the effort!! I will not tell you what happened, but it is good!!!!!! I am also very VERY excited for the movie!

TWILIGHT...

I am hooked!!!! It took about 80 pages for me to really get in to the books, but now that I have I am obsessive. Those of you that know me know that I am that way, so it shouldn't shock you to know that I finished the Twilight book in about three days, one of which was spent up most of the night reading.
I thank all of you for suggesting it and giving me cause to read them, but please be kind, because I am only on book two... I don't want to know what happens yet. And we all need to coordinate to see the movie in the same week so, that we can all talk about it.
To those of you who have not started reading, go out my friends and invest the 8 dollars!!! It is well worth the entertainment, and keep reading, it does pick up!!!
SO, from now until about three weeks from now, you know where I will be. Reading about Edward, Bella and all their friends!

First day jitters

Yes, friends it is the name of the book most of the fourth grade teachers are going to read the first day of school... and that is what I had yesterday at my first day of school!! When I walked in to Skipcha (pronounced Skipshaw) I was greeted by no one, yet there were lots and lots of teachers (mostly females) talking very loudly, and asking each other about their summers, vacations, kids, hubby's and etc. I found a table and sat down, waiting for someone familiar to talk to me, and to try and settle my nerves. I looked in vane for a familiar face. I was interviewed by three ladies, one being an assistant principal, and I could find none of them. Then to my great relief, someone I knew introduced me to the fourth grade teachers. They are all nice. There are 7 teachers, one resource teacher, and me the aide, that they haven't had in a year! Needless to say they were happy to meet me. The person that is above me, and basically my boss, is nice, yet a little lost herself, because she worked with kindergarten, and first grade last year, so she is new too... I proceed to have a very interesting presentation by the principal who is fun, full of energy, and a deep southern drawl. She is great, I really like her. After the team building exercise, lunch, and the district belief DVD, we are on our own, to do whatever. Since I am under Mrs R (to protect the innocent) I have helped her move stuff around in her office, and she tells me to hang out, she has to talk to someone. An hour later she comes back shocked that I am still there and i am thinking, you told me to say here. (while there for an hour i am thinking about how i don't know where anything is and if some little kid asks me where the bathroom is they are going to pee their pants before I can find it for them!) SO she says she is late for an appointment, and that she needs me to shred papers till 4 then clock out. (p.s. i think i single handedly broke the shredder...oops!) I am thinking, no one said anything about clocking in! I told her that i didn't clock in, and no one told me to.
So, my first day was fun, and education, and scary all at once. The moral of today's story is: Teacher's aides should have some sort of orientation and a map to feel at ease with their new jobs!!! (that's all it would have taken for me!) More first day jitters to come, when the kids start next week!
