Full Circle
Almost a year to the day, we made our first trip to Bear Dance...ready for a change. The funny thing was, I was "sold" when I went in the restroom and saw the lockers. This is the photo taken a year ago and tonight. The one difference...my name is on locker #19. We are looking forward to our second season at Bear Dance...NOT missing The Ridge anymore!
Amazing Day!
We had our second day of "Hour of Code" today at school. It was literally a non-stop day...made it into 7 classrooms! I absolutely loved it when several 4th grade boys asked their teacher if they could go to study hall and keep coding instead of going out to resource. This was one of those moments when I remembered why I teach...LOVED IT!!
Last week, I received the honor of "Employee of the Month." I got to move SHARKB8 up to the front of the parking lot!
Code & Cookies
Had a GREAT day working with students today for the Hour of Code. Most of my time was spent with the Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students...and the loved it!! I saw some promising computer programmers today!
This evening several of us gals from work got together for the First Annual CSE Cookie Exchange. LOTS of yummy treats! Thanks to my favorite LM for hosting!
Yummy Sweets
Got all of my cookies made for tomorrow night's Cookie Exchange. Went with my Great-Grandma Vance's sugar cookies.
Enjoyed Kelly's yummy Black Forest Cake at family dinner later in the night.
Wednesday Nights
Just a little over a month and I miss them!
"Throwback Thursday"
Last week we decided to start thawing out a turkey. Tonight we finally got around to cooking it. We did the full Thanksgiving dinner. I was absolutely surprised at how well my pumpkin pie came out. Too bad I wasn't in charge of that for Thanksgiving this year versus the rolls! We had everything done, including the turkey, in 90 minutes!
Also came across the "Limited Edition" flavor of Oreos while I was at Safeway.
Good News, Bad News
Had my ortho appointment for my MRI results today. Good news...I don't need surgery. Bad news...I have patellofemoral arthritis...something that I shouldn't have for another 15-20 years! I received a steroid injection in each knee today. In addition to the arthritis, my right patella is "out of the groove" so I will be headed to PT next week to work on that. Good to know there are still two different rounds of injections that I can get prior to any type of surgery. (Not the actual syringe from my injections, but an exact replica.)
Did end the evening on a high note with a BDay dinner...Happy Birthday Babe!
