Seriously?

I was subbing for high school art today (I really want to do this?) and the kids were working on a cardboard sculpture. They had to cut out and paint a variety of shapes.

Well, this one student comes up to the table beside my desk and says, "Where's my shape?" I assumed he was just talking to himself until he said again, directed at me, "Where's my shape?" Confused because this was my first time EVER to sub for this class and the students are responsible for their own project, I just stared at him.

He continues, "It was here on Friday!" looking right at me.

This is where I should have just said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't your teacher on Friday," but I couldn't help myself. Instead I blurted, "How am I supposed to know?!?" He then asks me, "What color is it?"

SERIOUSLY?

Laundry

I don't know what it is about fresh laundry... I'm sure the heat from the dryer has something to do with it, and I read somewhere that cats are obsessed with anything that doesn't smell like "home". (Case in point, Razzle with a sneaker.)

Well today was laundry day (laundry weekend), and as I started to fold I caught this.

Tough life this guy has. Really tough.

Chic N Unique

This morning as I was driving to church I noticed something on my windshield. It must have been put on last night while I was making a run for popcorn... either that or someone broke into my garage just to advertise a salon. Either way, I'm glad turning on my wipers didn't work to remove it, because I would have missed out on this:

No Twitter, Just Flickr

I'm a bit behind. No, you won't see a Give Me Texas Wisdom "tweet" anytime soon (hopefully, ever.) Instead, I've thrown a few pics on Flickr. Enjoy.

I am loved.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I bought fresh produce. I haven't been to the store in ages. I haven't cooked anything other than Cup 'O Soup in ages. My freezer is empty. My refrigerator holds nothing but condiments.

So imagine my surprise when I came home from work today and found this on the cabinet, along with a note apologizing because Kroger didn't carry Double Shot Light.

I am loved.

Pretty Poison

Oops. They only ate some leaves, so everything should be ok.

Martin's got a point.

I'm sure he didn't forget his own heritage on purpose.

I bought these myself.

Blue hydrangeas are my absolute favorite. Click on the speaker for an audio treat. I think this song goes really well with the classic beauty of these flowers.

My -ism

I usually don't post things like this, but I could totally use this in the classroom. Which -ism are you?

You Are Romanticism

You are likely to see the world as it should be, not as it is. You prefer to celebrate the great things people do... not the horrors they're capable of. For you, there is nothing more inspiring than a great hero. You believe that great art reflects the artist's imagination and true ideals.
