Breakfast at Tiffany's

Donna

All the food

Center pieces

Heather and I gave our friend Donna a bridal shower a couple of weeks ago. She really likes the color Tiffany blue and we wanted to do a fun theme for her, and what girl doesn't like diamonds and diamonds from Tiffany's. We decided that a fun theme would be the Audre Hepburn movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" It was really fun and we served all breakfast foods. Donna got a lot of great gifts and we had a good time.

Okay, my friend Natalee tagged me and I had to really think about this because of course I have no weird quirks. ;)

1) I hate mushrooms. They disgust me, even the smell, and the texture. YUCKY!!

2) I also hate pinto beans and will only eat refried beans if they are completely mashed up. But I do like black beans and cannalli beans-this is a new thing, I would never eat any type of bean for years.

3) I used to never share my deodorant with anyone, not even my mom. Gross. I have gotten over this so if you ever need deodorant, you can use mine.

4) When I cook rice, I don't measure the water to rice ration. I learned a way to cook it on my mission in the rice cooker and it comes out perfect every time.

5) I have to put my groceries on the belt in a certain order and I can't mix the produce with the frozen goods, or dry goods. They all have to be together categorically.

6) I hate to talk on the phone. I know, I'm a woman I should love it, but I hate to talk on the phone when I have nothing to talk about. Also because I talk all day and I am tired of talking at the end of the day.

Okay there are my 6 quirky things and now I tag my sister Suzi, Elisabeth, Jill, Allison, Taylia, Stephanie

Without a Voice

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you lost your voice and couldn't communicate by sign language? It is a whole new world when you can't talk. I lost my voice this week and I had to take 3 days off of work. In my line of work you have to have a voice. But it has been interesting. I really lost my voice today and I have not been able to talk on the phone or talk to people above a whisper. I had to have my kids talk for me today, and let me tell you that was not easy. I was so happy it was a half day. After today, I decided that a sub would do a much better job than I would. Now I have the next two days off because I don't have a voice.

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you didn't have a voice?

Who said teaching was easy?

I'm sure that everyone has one of those days or even weeks when they just think, "You know, I just really hate my job!" That is where I am at right now. I'm a teacher and I teach 5th grade with two other ladies and we get along great. The problem is the administration. We have two men running our school, both are ex military and I swear they left their brains on some battle field. They can't remember anything they tell us and they constantly contridict themselves, and then they make us look like the idiots. So needless to say this has been a really horrible week and I am at the point that I am ready to start looking for a new career. So here is the list that the other two teachers and I have come up with:

accountant (I would be an office manager)

• start up a bakery
• preschool in the house
• dog walker
• dog groomer
• flight attendant
• sales person for school curriculum
• train teachers on how to teach math

I think I could go on and on of jobs that would be better than a teacher right now. The sad thing-I love teaching, it is just the politics of the job that kill me.
