Lots of Little Stuff

Image
By
On my mind right now:


  • nervous about going to class tomorrow and Sunday

  • (I'm so old now that I will look like one of those "old hags" I used to see in my classes and wonder what on earth they're still doing in school when they're old already (hmm... what comes around goes around, huh?! I would have been much better off repenting for those judgmental thoughts, lol!)

  • What do people bring to class nowadays? Do they bring their laptops and take notes on that? Do they still use notebooks? (I'm bringing both so I have both options covered.)

  • Are we going to have homework?

  • Is it going to be a B-O-R-I-N-G lecture-type format, or is it going to be hands-on? (It's a class about integrating technology in the classroom.)

  • Will people be dressed casual or will they be dressed up? (I'm going casual 'cause that's the kind of gal I am.)

  • Mostly, why am I obsessing so much about this? Normally I could care less. I'm not there to meet people--just to pass the class.



  • Missing my Ashley who is full-on into teenager-hood, and "chases" me out of her room anytime I want to go in there to chat with her for a few minutes

  • After I've chatted with her for like one minute: "Great. You can go now." "Thanks. You can leave now." "Okay, I'm busy now doing my teenie bopper things" (not true about the "teenie bopper" part--she doesn't say it; I just think it ;)



  • LOVING the fact that Carlos enjoys spending time with me ("Mommy, will you play with me?" "Mommy, I want to play with you."--music to my ears)

  • Excited (and nervous!) about starting the photgraphy assignment on Monday. I will be doing it every morning next week.

  • Stressing about how I'm going to balance work and home when I get a job

  • Frustrated that I took such a l-o-n-g break from paper scrapping that it takes me hours to get a page done (not to mention I don't even know how to use certain products, like distressing ink, chalk, etc.). I guess I really am a digi scrapper at heart, but I refuse to give up paper scrapping. It can be very satisfying in a different way.

  • EXTREMELY excited because my shows are starting:

  • CSI (all of them!)

  • Criminal Minds

  • Beach Patrol

and a new cooking show I like on Planet Green called Emeril Green (I'm a huge Emeril fan).


Oh, and I designed a cover for my notebook :) Here it is: I used a free "brush" (a digital stamp) from the internet. The quote says, "Art is abstraction [NO idea what that means!], it's the way to rise up toward God by doing what our divine Master does: create."


Happy Weekend, y'all!

I am so glad that you are bloggin'. Your thoughts mirror mine so many times. Have fun in class today. Just remember not to pass notes, not to text message your classmate and for goodness sake, please, do not IM them if you use your laptop.

Be the teacher's pet.

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...

Random "me" stuff

By Carmela
Update about the jail visit :  We were not able to go this weekend because communicating with an inmate is a little bit complicated, so we were not able to set up a time.  I am praying that it works out this week.  My friend will get back to me.  Also, I found out that I cannot bring him anything.  If I want him to have a One-Year Bible, I have to order it online and have it sent directly to him at the jail.  I will be in prayer about that as well. Today, I'm keeping it very light.  I have had A LOT of time to myself this summer, so I wanted to show you how I've been spending my time: a LOT of getting my classroom ready! My favorite part is the back wall (ready for student work!), so I thought I'd show you that today. the back of my classroom! We will have a "Fruit of the Spirit" Tree in which the kids will each have a paper apple with their name on it.  When they see a classmate demonstrating one of the fruits of the Spirit, they w...
