Day 22 - Curriculum Night

Meeting the parents and trying to share ALL the important information in 10 minutes or less.  I'm a big fan of the ones who laugh at my jokes.

Day 21 - Pizza; It's What's For Dinner

Spinach Gourmet.  Thank you Romios!

Day 20 - Rainbow

My hope today (a Sunday) was that the weather would continue to be gray and rainy just as long as I was inside working in my classroom.  As I walked outside, a downpour stopped and there, over Rachel Carson Elementary, was a beautiful rainbow.

Day 19 - The Library

                                                                                   The downtown Everett Public Library is a gem.  It is a beautiful building with lots of windows that let in amazing light.  I love to sit in this area upstairs with great oak tables, reading lamps and a view of the Sound and Whidbey Island.

Day 18 - Good Read

This is the book that the new movie "The Town" is based on.  As soon as I knew the story was about Boston, I went in search of the book.  It's a fun read because every place is so familiar to me - the opening scene occurs in a bank where I had my checking account while attending Boston University.  An even stranger coincidence is that the author grew up and lives in my home town.

Day 17 - Late Supper

Didn't arrive home until almost 8PM tonight and this was after attempting to take 3 different routes home because of horrific traffic.  My two standard quick supper dishes (that's "dinner" for you west coast folks) are omelets or quesadillas; tonight all I could muster up was a tomato and cheddar omelet.  The Mike's was a welcome bonus find in my fridge.

Day 16 - Wanderlust

Always dreaming of (and searching for) the trip of a lifetime.  How ironic that the hotels are extraordinary yet I got the book as a Super Buy at Half Price Books.
