A bit shorter for you non-novel-readers... I woke up this morning after getting only five hours of sleep (I was finishing Memoirs of a Geisha. Yes, the reading bug followed me to Japan...). I assumed it would be a "wa choto" day (literally a little bit...), but it turned out to be fine, sunny, and filled with delightful little moments, such as these: An 8th grade girl telling me I had long eyelashes (what girl doesn't love to hear this?!) While teaching with a certain attractive male teacher, I was very nervous, so was looking down trying not to give myself away. When I looked up, though, I caught glimpse of a 7th grade boy in the middle of the room - digging with all his might at something WAY up his nose. Needless to say, that lightened my mood. What are some little moments in the last week that have made your day? Please comment if you feel so led, it's always a delight to hear from you!

haha, Holly--love the image of that nose-digging-seventh grader.
Your miso k-whatever story from the previous post made me laugh out loud a second ago. Not laugh, actually--sort of a loud, gutteral, unfeminine HAAAA that I didn't realize I let out when no one is around. However, I'm at work...radio station...and there is a basketball game on. After the loud noise I made, I heard the commentators say something about the bizarre noise they'd just heard, and that was when I remembered: if a basketball game is on, it does this weird thing and makes the mic be automatically on in the studio unless I manually turn it off! Ooops!
good blog
What made my week? Sitting around watching ALL the Lord of the Rings movies, for the first time. Elizabeth was sick and that's all she wanted. We all watched them and then Jacob took the lessons of courage and not giving up to his first ever wrestling tournament. He was seeded 7th and came out 4th, against kids who have wrestled way longer than him. He never gave up. I saw Aragorn in his face. That made my week! Blessings dear! (And you do have lovely eyes!)
