Good Times in the Circle K

I had an awesome week or so and I thought, hoped and prayed that this whole syndrome thing was on its way out. I guess it's not finished with me yet! I wasn't feeling so hot this weekend, and I think God gave me a good laugh to lighten me up a bit....
So I was in the local Circle K (7-11 and Circle K's can be found on every corner, literally...do we still have those at home?- just reminds me of my older sibling's summer jobs), and all of a sudden there's a very loud crashing noise. I turn around to see the roof tile has indeed fallen to the ground, leaving a sizeable hole in the ceiling. Guess what fell out of the roof? It was a flying cat! Ha. The cat landed right by my foot. It would have been funnier if it landed on on my head (actually on someone else's head), but it sure made me laugh. So beware, you never know what might come flying out from the roof of your local convenience store....

We've Got Spirit, YES WE DO

Alrighty, I've tracked down a few pics from the "first pep rally ever"...

Now that's spirit!

Victory!! Love it!!

Rising up, back on the street...

My one big shot. It may have been my last...:)

...it's not YMCA...it's "CAIS"

Best backup dancers ever. Wow!

Oh, good times!!

Molecules...or Fish Balls

Culture is great and often funny when it shows up in the classroom. The other day we were building models of molecules in class. It was marvelous! I never dreamed chemistry could be so enjoyable. As some of the kids finished their models, I started hearing rumors of fish balls for sale. Yes, the models were no longer molecules, but mouthwatering fish balls on sticks. They were going fast. Another kid pipes up, "Hey, can I get some curry sauce with those fish balls, please?!" I bet you never dreamed of curry fish balls when you were in Grade 5! I'll stick to my KD for lunch, thanks.

LUCKY WINNER!!!!

Oh yes, today I was the big winner at our staff party!!! Not only that, I looked....well, you can decide on your own what you think about that. People were amazed that what they saw was actually my real hair! For such a stylish display, my disco-grooving friend and I were given a consolation prize of...Dove soap. Maybe that's implying something. Hmmm. And then the most umm, interesting, and practical? gift I think I have ever received. Eight lucky teachers, myself being the last of them, had their names drawn to receive a complete physical examination from the insurance company. How did they know?! I was definitely asking Santa for a physical! Ha! Maybe that's implying something, too. Hmmm.
