Prom is not just for the young!





























Saturday was a good one. Sarah and I went to Vernal to do a few errands. I like the dinosaur theme. I also like when I am surprised with fries at the bottom of my food bag because I forgot they were there.

Josh had a fun time at prom. Isn't he cute? I like that in small towns prom is a community event. We went and saw the kids do a cute dance and the presentation of the prom court. Good times!

It is nice to get out of dodge for the weekend!! It was like a mini vacation. Thanks Sarah, for having is and being so good to us!

Stopping in Wyoming for dinner is fun!

Eating dinner in Evanston, Wyoming at Arby's probably doesn't seem like it would be all that fun but when you go with this kid(Josh, a brother from another mother) it is a blast!!! He does some amazing sculptures doesn't he?And seriously, what is up with the cowboy pictures? Only in Wyoming!

Pics from the Madness!!!


Two pictures that also demonstrate my love of technology from the previous post. The three computers were set up in the faculty lounge at work today during lunch. We like our basketball just a bit. The other one is me watching two games on the TV and one on the computer. Heavenly!

T is for Thursday and Technology.

I am very grateful for technology today. I can use it to help my students know what they are missing in their classes. I also can phone a friend or family member and have a good chat about whatever. I also can make my lunch really fast so the 26 minutes they give me to eat it isn't bogged down by cooking time. I use technology all the time. It is in my house, at my work, in my car and even in my pocket. I love it so very much.

The big reason I love it right now is that I can actually take that amazing little phone of delight out of my pocket and watch basketball games right there on that little screen. I also can bring up games on the screen of my computer that my work so nicely provides for me. And my wonderful and newly paid for(Tuesday to be precise) can also play a game, or two if I get two networks to watch. Do you see how amazing my life is because of my technology? And of course I can watch multiple games at once because of all of them work at the same time. Isn't my life amazing? I knew you would agree.

So in the ho hum drums of March, I am sitting back and enjoying some Madness because it makes me extremely happy and so very thankful for technology! :) So if you can't get a hold of me, you now know why. You know that I am sitting on my couch ignoring the world. Thank you March Madness and NCAA basketball. Thank you so much!

The End.

A Funny In The Middle of Day.

This is a story that one of my students just told me that happened in their English class today. It was too funny to not publish on the interwebs!!!!

Their teacher was saying that it is hard to teach English because the students abbreviate everything like they are texting. Like LOL, JK, etc.

One of the students piped up and said: "I hate abbreviations!"

Another student turns to this student and says: "But your name is D.J."

Very funny!!!
