Wickedly Wonderful

If you haven't seen Wicked on Broadway, what have you been doing with your life? 

My life was forever changed when my mom and I took a spur of the  moment to New York City.  I went to see Kelly Clarkson in Central Park.  My mom went to be a tourist(I joined in too) and she suggested Wicked and I am so glad I have those memories with her.

Don't worry if you haven't been able to catch the play, it is okay because now you can redeem yourself by going to see the movie that is now out in theaters.  

The movie is amazing.  The music, the scenes, the talented actors...it is magic for 2 hours and 40 minutes.  I loved it.  

Day dates are the best.  Reub and I caught the movie and then had wings at one of our favorite spots.  Wickedly wonderful day!

I Have Talented Kids!

 The children’s organization within my local  church had a talent show. It was fun to see all the little people and their talents. E demonstrated Jiu Jitsu and Z danced.  I was a part of E’s demo so I didn’t take a video, but later on he used his sparing dummy for a wonderful waltz. Enjoy all the dancing. 

Cozy

Just like I need a sanctuary at work, home is another one of my sanctuaries. As winter has snuck in, I want to be warm and cozy. I also find more and more reasons not to leave my house once I’m home from work. This especially is the case when I change into pajamas, which is happening earlier and earlier seeing it is dark at five o’clock! 

It also has happened earlier now that I own these:

 Thank heavens for thrifting and $3.50 Homer Simpson pants. 

Sanctuary

Sanctuary: a place of refuge or safety 

 Work can be chaotic. My students seem more and more angry and mean as time progresses. Often, during lunch or during my prep, I need a quiet break from that chaos. I have purposely made my office into a sanctuary. 

What place is your sanctuary?

Strong

 Weight lifting makes me feel strong. I can lift more than I ever have in my PE class. Wearing my Ilona Maher also makes me feel strong like a beast!!!
