Homecoming Week 2009

I'm still one of those goofy teachers that likes to dress up for Homecoming.

Halloween? Hate it.

Homecoming? Love it.
(I think it's because it's an excuse to wear something other than boring work clothes.)

And the kids love it.

Mesa High School Homecoming Week 2009
"Treasures Through Time"

Monday: Pajama Day

Who doesn't love waking up and going to work, on a MONDAY, in their pajamas.
I think every day should be pajama day!

And let's take a closer look at that awesome shirt...

A 90 degree angle and it says "I'm always right"!
Need I say more?
If I can't wear pajamas everyday, maybe this shirt could at least be my new uniform.
It's math related, right??

(PS... My sweet sister-in-law Kari and her daughter Emily came across this shirt online and felt I just had to have this shirt. So they sent me a totally unexpected "Back to School" package. The package alone was such a kind thought... the shirt was icing on the cake! Thank you Kari and Emily, again, for thinking of me! I love you both!)

Tuesday: Pirate Day

Pirate day?? Ok, whatever. I can do Pirate... especially with the help of a roommate who randomly has just about anything I find that I need. You're the best, Wendys!

Wednesday: Decades Day

Dress from your favorite decade... or at least (for me) the easiest one to rig up a costume.
Check the side pony tail. Hott. Or should I say radical...

Thursday: Animal Day

Ok, so this one was weak... but I was leaving right after school to catch my flight to Utah for Becca's wedding. So all I wore was this ridiculous headband with regular work clothes. Whatev.

Friday: Bridesmaid Day

Alright, it's true. Mesa High did NOT have a Bridesmaid Day... But I did!
More on Becca Wilson Clarkson's wedding later...
(Yep. Costa Rica works for some of us!)

Money Saving Tip! :)

Don't go see this movie.

"Where the Wild Things Are".


It was...

Ridiculous.


Outrageous.


Ludicrous.

Your money would be better spent driving to the library, checking out the book:


driving home, reading the ten-sentence book,
then driving back to return the book.

And it wouldn't cost nearly as much of your time.

If anyone sees/talks to Esther Hansen anytime soon,
tell her I blogged about her strike two of movie picks.
(Strike one was "Bride and Prejudice")

Your comments are appreciated...

Lest you think my blog has turned into some mushy-gushy public journal, I want to try something fun. I really should post about all the grand and fantastic things going on in my life right now... but, oh wait, there's nothing. (Give me a week or two... and a new camera and maybe I'll get back on this train.) ANYWAY, here's my idea...

So you know those obscure letters you have to type in before posting a comment? Have you ever noticed that sometimes they are either a word or look like they could be a word? Well, humor me, here...

Hit the comment link below and then post a comment using the word verification "word". You know, give it a definition, use it in a sentence, tell a story about the word. I don't care... just make me laugh.

Ready, set, go!
