oh hello, saturday

wait what?
i know what you're thinking. who is this girl and why hasn't she posted on her blog.
i apologize to you all and especially to you, little blog, life has just got me a little frazzled these days. setting up an entire classroom in a two week time period - from scratch - is no small task. it is actually no large task either. if setting up a classroom were a ship it would be the titanic. and i may or may not have just barely missed a few icebergs. so please forgive me if my posts are sporadic, or short, or make no sense, or just end up being a giant jumbled mess. hey, a girl can try.

so, to stay with my theme of doing everything off of the norm, i've got for you today my friday letters...errr...on a saturday.

dear job, thank you. thank you for being in my life for this entire up and coming school year. who would have thought i'd be a full time teacher not even a year after graduating. God is good. bring on the kiddos.

dear blog, i may have already said it, but i'm so sorry for neglecting you the past week. hang in there, life is about to get a lot more interesting, and once i get the hang of balancing it all we will have some wonderful things to talk about. pinky promise.

dear fall, hey, i see you're trying to move in with some of these cooler temps (hello only 70 degrees last night). please hurry on up and move right in. my jeans and sweaters greatly miss you.

dear nugget,  i miss your little baby self. can it be labor day already so i can squeeze and hug your little baby goodness. auntie m has lots of new things to teach you (and a new stuffed friend named SkippyJon Jones that wants to play with you and Hungry Caterpillar).

dear phillip phillips, i became obsessed with this song during the olympics and i'll be forever repeating it for the next month or so.

p.s. hey olympics, i miss ya, wanna come back in my life sooner than four years?

hey friday hey

so i'm going to be honest and to the point here.i started this post one two three times.
wanted to write a thoughtful post. didn't happen.
wanted to write a funny post. (realizing i'm not that funny). didn't happen.
so what did i do when i seem to not be able to write a darn thing? i found some retro mtv and watched spencer brainwash heidi to the dark side.

but, all brainwashing aside, i ended up stumbling on this little blog and decided to link on up with her by sharing with you (just a few - i could will get carried away here) my friday letters.

dear fourth of july, you came and went too quickly. i didn't have enough time to indulge in enough s'mores or patriotic attire.

dear abc family, thank you for deciding to play a three-day harry potter-palooza this weekend. convenient for 100+ degree weather? i think so. i will be enjoying the sunshine via my air conditioned living room.

dear chris from the bachelorette, please do not be the type of man who gets all nuts on the "after the rose" special. i do not want to see you get all beside yourself. i do not want to see you curse. and i do not want to see you crumble in to tears. please and thank you.

dear best friend e and best friend j, thank you for making me feel a little less crazy in the head. for calling me and talking to me for long periods of time and usually about nothing all that important. and for listening. and probably a million other things, but mainly, just being crazy right along with me.

dear dune fries and blue moons, please accompany my sister and i in a week and a half for a girls night at the beach. your attendance is required. be hot, steamy, and ooey gooey, and i mean it!

dear "where the wild things are", i am sorry that i have never read you nor do i own a copy of you. seeing as i have been given quite the hard time for not being acquainted with your wonderfulness (and told it will greatly hinder my teaching abilities) i intend to pick you up in the very near future. sorry for the lack of attention for the last twenty-some years.

dear God, thank you.
