I love Ron Clark

I am in love with Ron Clark! This is not a surprise to many of my friends in town and certainly not to my work mates. I think he is super incredible and inspiring. He is one awesome teacher. It was unbelievable to get to spend time with this incredible person.

Thanks Aunt Muriel

Muriel sent Andrew the cutest Obama hat! Thanks Aunt Muriel. You're the best.

Project 365

I am so excited, I was one of the lucky one's to get the new CK Kit of the Month: Project 365. For you non scrappers that read my blog, CK is Creating Keepsakes and I will be taking one picture a day for the whole of 2009. The kit includes an album and special pages that will hold 7 photos, one from each day of the week and then it has special journaling blocks at the bottom of each spread for you to do a little journaling. I started taking my pictures last Sunday and so far so good. I have been having so much fun thinking about this project. It was hard to get this kit. There was so much hype on the kit that when it went on sale on New Years day, people went nuts. The kit sold out in less than an hour.

Back to work tomorrow, one week til Ron Clark, the Disney Teacher of the Year 2000 comes to Sarasota. I am so excited.

Happy New Year

Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year. I received this amazing picture from Ithaca College last night wishing all their alums a Happy New Year. The campus looks so beautiful covered in snow.

We had one busy December, I promise to post some pictures once I upload them. I have big plans for 2009. I am hoping to get one of the new Creating Keepsakes 365 kits today and have already started taking a picture every day. I would love to document a year in our families life. I started Weight Watchers the week before Thanksgiving and am committed to losing weight, changing how my family eats and getting healthier this year. I will have a new nephew this coming Feb/March and am so excited to be an aunt again. I have some huge events at work this month and it is going to be exciting and fast paced for the next 31 days.

Last night I won our poker game, we play with our friends David and Fern and Melissa. We have a small globe that you win which makes you the "world champion" so I am the current champion. We started playing last night at 9 pm and didn't finish til after 1:30. It was one long game.

I have been re-connecting with so many IC Theatre Alums and it has been so much fun to hear what everyone is doing and catching up with everyone. Hard to believe that we started as Freshman at IC over 25 years ago.
