Hats off to the 25th of the month and the last day of school. It was a great day. Seriously, I LOVE my administration at my school. They rock. One of them got me three sets of golf clubs to use for summer school. One of which he encouraged me to take home and use. My principal made me feel awesome at my checkout. She really is a positive leader. I really wish my co-workers would see past the hard times of change and realize that she is getting the vision of our school and is on our side. She rocks.
I also got the printing of the invites completed tonight so the next week will be filled with filling envelopes and writing addresses. Crazy stuff.
Reuben and I also went shopping for a new bed. We found a good one and it was on sale thanks to Memorial Day weekend, so I was happy. I guess I'll get a new bed in the next few days. Awesome.
Here are 25 of my hats. Reuben mentioned that I have the biggest hat collection of a girl. He thinks I probably collect hats like girls collect shoes. So silly.
1. Grey LA Dodger hat. Bought at Lids in Wisconsin Dells. It is just different looking. I think I may have five Dodger hats. I sure do love my Dodgers.
2. Walmart Bejeweled Hat. Bought for six bucks this week. I feel like I need more girly hats.
3. Colorado Rockies. Bought at game. It is my hiking hat.
4. Roots Girly hat. Bought in Park City with Jane.
5. Knit green hat. Mom bought it for me in Park City at a really cool consignment shop.
6. Two cowgirl hats. One is my seester's from our road trip a few years back. VERY good times.
7. San Francisco Giants. Bought at AT&T Ballpark. Hate the Giants but love the memory.
8. Packer Hat. Four of them. Favorite is the pink one but it is getting worn out.
9. Angels Beanie. Got for free at Angel Stadium with Marla. She's a peach.
10. Chicago Cubs. Bought across the street from Wrigley.
11. Chicago White Sox. Not as cool as Cubs, but still great memories with Uncle Jim and Cousin Adam!
12. Yellowstone Bright Turquoise. Friend Kathy bought for me. She's sweet.
13. Milwaukee Brewers hats. Two of them. I like the classic one better.
14. Purple Visor. For hot running.
15. ADC. For American Dynatec Corp. Softball team original sponsor.
16. Hodag Hat. Given to me by my dear friend Jim, who is no longer with us. I miss him and how smart he was.
17. Bike Helmet. It counts. It's blue and protects my melon when I ride to work.
18. IHS Hat. Free and support for our school.
19. New York Mets. Bought across the street from Yankee Stadium. I also have a Mets NYFD hat from when I was there just after 911.
20. Green Bay Packer Yellow Beanie. I love running with it on in the cold.
21. Team Ficklin. Was made for the engagement pics.
22. Salt Lake Olympics 2002. I was there!
23. Happy Bunny. I love that bunny.
24. UCLA. I wanted to go there.
25. Idaho from a dear friend from Ricks College.
I fell asleep while writing this. One of the numbers was going to be vvvvvv. I better sleep some.
Cheers.

Graduation Day!
23 Things I wish I had known when I graduated from high school:
1. Those popular people aren't anything to worry about. They are just people too.
2. Friends who seem so important don't often stay important.
3. Dating is completely lame and seriously your heart will mend and that boy will seems very, very idiotic in the future.
4. Words can hurt.
5. The world doesn't revolve around you.
6. Your parents are pretty much right all the time.
7. Fighting with Dad is totally not worth it.
8. Family is MOST important.
9. Sports won't pay bills.
10. Saving money is smart and makes life easier.
11. Credit is stupid.
12. Communication skills are very important.
13. Read more. It's important.
14. Tell people you love them everyday.
15. Be grateful for everything you have.
16. Most of the things you want are not anything you actually need.
17. Buy stock in Apple.
18. Don't be exclusive. Include everybody.
19. Open doors for people, say hi and serve whenever you get a chance.
20. Talk to strangers. You can learn a lot from them.
21. Learn to swim.
22. Eat less. Move more.
23. Home is where the heart is.
Graduation day. It was awesome. My new principal made it happen at a new venue and it was gorgeous. I should have taken pictures. I don't know why I am not as emotionally attached to the kiddos this year. I love them, but they aren't everything.
We also had yearbook signing. It was a blast. Snow cones, popcorn and soda. Great stuff. Oh and it was fun to have the kids sign my book.
Reuben is a trooper. He came to graduation and had to sit in the crowd with me on the stand. I feel like I am not getting much Reuben time. He said he got to look at me all night so it was enough. Cute huh?
Better sleep.
Cheers.

And then I fished.
Today was tough. Those kids are getting a little bit crazy. It was nice to head fishing with my guy. I didn't realize how lucky I am. Okay, so I have realized how lucky but the list of awesome things about Reuben just keeps getting longer. I am glad I have a guy who likes to fish. That is awesome. I caught the first fish of the season. Now the pressure is off, right.
21 one things I shouldn't say but I do:
1. Today I told a kid, "If you are going to have a bad attitude and not do the work this last week, just stay home."
2. I told a former student after her saying that babies aren't too expensive because she was on Medicaid and WIC, "Why should it be somebody else's job to take care of my kids?"
3. "I am not traditional and very particular in my old age," after my future mother in law suggest I register somewhere just because that is the thing to do.
4. "Retard" I say it a lot. And yes seester, I know it's not right.
5. "What the hell?" Right in front of a student after school!
6. "Shut it" to Sharri. All. The. Time.
7. "bastards" sometime to invading earwigs in my house. Sometimes
Directed at students.
8. "You're face will freeze that way". To one of my special Ed kids. I got a smart comment back and I totally deserved it.
9. "400" after being asked how many laps for warm up in PE.
10. "I just threw your bobber into the lake." It may take Reuben 20 years to get my sarcasm. He is very literal.
11. "I hope it isn't a symbol of our relationship," to Reuben after he mentioned that some flowers he gave me were wilting. Again...too literal!
12. "Are you F-ing kidding me?" To a lot of people about various things.
13. "Zip it" to students quite often.
14. "Get in your time machine and come to school and do your work." To students.
15. "Nothing will fall off." In support of kids waiting until they are married to have sex.
16. "Just sayin'" I say it a lot and it really doesn't excuse things like: "You really going to wear that to the movies, just sayin'"
17. "You're losing points." Sometimes I don't mean it.
18. "Weight Training is not a spectator sport." Sometimes they need to spot each other.
19. "Stop it." Actually, I quite like that one.
20. "Eat Less, Move More." It's that easy but sometimes I even forget.
21. "What do you want from me?"
