It's really too bad that so many of them are like yesterday, where the teachers go, but the kids do not. ;) Instead of being off yesterday like Deanna and Megan, I had a Staff Development Day. Fun, right? Well...actually it was! Our administrators put us into teams with people we don't get a chance to work with often, and then each team was given a clue. We had to figure out the clue, head to that location, and complete an education-related task (Amazing Race-style). When we completed each task, we received our next clue...AND a recipe ingredient. There were ten clue-related tasks total, but task #11 was...wait for it...BAKING COOKIES with all of our ingredients in the school's brand new culinary lab!!! It was freakin' awesome! My team made chocolate chip, but other groups made pumpkin, snickerdoodle, chocolate peanut butter chunk, etc. The whole staff met back up at 3:00 for a debriefing/survey/cookie sampling. Good times. :)
Hmmm...what else is new? Oh, Deanna got a dog, Lola. You can read all about her on Deanna's blog. I linked to it in the first paragraph. She is pretty great, and that is saying a lot since I am not really into pets. Also new: I am playing volleyball again on our staff team. Today was the first day I was able to play. We lost our first match, but we won the second match which just happened to be against the other Academy team. It was SO FUN!!! I was a little anxious about playing at first, but I am so glad I put myself out there. What else, what else? Most of the house is decorated/liveable, so if you're in the area, please call us up! It has been really great to be able to have people over for dinner and such.
I guess that's about it for now. I am still updating my "25 Things" list, so if you haven't checked it lately, you can find it here. Enjoy!

Hi Sweetie. We are growing fins and gills over here. I keep telling myself it is helping our water tables...helps a little.
Am busy with my plays. The one I wrote was performed once for Mamie Harvey's class. Next up will be the group in Becky Anderson's class..my class. And, finally the A-Team will do it for Pat Wallace..then for the entire church on Nov 8th. Wish you could see it. Or maybe you can come to A Christmas Carol at Joe Cook on Nov 20-21. It is a Y play. I am a cockney washerwoman. My cockney accent is pretty bad..hope it improves. Remember I love you. mrs anne
