Just in case you needed a laugh....

Reasons my students think I am ancient...

...I remember when computers were not common place in households.

...I have actually used an abacus before

...I remember when the Austin Powers movies came out in theaters 

...I can remember 9/11/01

...I remember watching Bill Clinton's 1st inauguration

...I went to high school with other teachers that they think are ancient

...I say things like "thems the berries" 

Joy in the little things...

3 little things that made my day just a little bit better today:

--Helping a little girl find her mother after Mass.  Really, it was the huge smile on both faces when they were reunited.

--The new altar boy at church whose feet don't touch the ground when he sits in his chair.

-- Hot chocolate after a trip to the grocery store.

Food for thought.

Please take the time to watch this incredibly well-spoken 12 year old.  Even if you do not agree with her, she is guaranteed to make you think.  Thanks to Andie for sharing this video.

Progress

So I am learning to crochet.  My tension is awful, but I am starting to get the hang of it and not going so cross-eyed.  I do still prefer knitting, but that is probably because I am better at that.
