Tail-gating, beautiful sky, and bubbles- Happy Friday

Spiders . . BIG spiders

Creepy!

New Classroom

My space in the new "Bat Cave." It is clean now and there will be a new can of diet coke in the morning. But what is it with me and trees? I NEEDED one. Thanks for my flowers mom! You absolutely made my day!

The Shack

I read two books in a 24 hour period. I guess I was due. :) One that has affected me is called The Shack. Apparently this has been around but I hadn't even heard of it. I highly recommend it!

It's Official

I now have a TN license and plate. But notice that I am still representing Cali! :)

Mom's July Visit

Hi all! Just click on the slide show to the right with the pic of my mom and I on the side of the page to see images of her visit.

By the way, if you want to turn off the music, it is coming from the other slide show a few posts down. Just roll your mouse over "more" and click the speaker.

School starts Monday! Peace out!

PS

Got my TN license and met Brad Paisley's audio engineer in the process. Only in Nashville. . .

Something to Ponder

Why is the fear of long words called hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?

:)

I miss her!

I mean really, does it get any cuter than this? :)
