I've been gone all week because my grandmother passed away. We laid her to rest at her birthplace on a small ranch outside of Matamoros, Tamaulipas Mexico. I'm not a religious person, but I was very moved by what the priest said: this is the end of an era, but we must not let the memory of her die. This is a celebration of life ( Read more... )

My sister and I were watching "The Reaping", a movie I bought the other day. She stopped watching it because she was scared. I saw it last night by myself while she was away for her study group, and got a bit scared, but stuck it out ( Read more... )

I have been apprehensive about my formal evaluation (called PDAS). It was done before spring break, and I had not heard anything on it. My colleagues had told me that our assistant principal was a bit tough on things she was looking for.

Okay, time to get my money's worth from this paid account:

I'm noticing a change in the way my clothes fit, which is always a good thing. I am starting to grab some of the stuff that was fitting a little tight before and am comfortable in them. The bad thing is that the stuff I was already comfortable in are now starting to sag, and it looks sloppy ( Read more... )

It is cold. I am tired of the cold, the early darkness, the sogginess, the dead plants. I miss spring. I miss my friend the sun. If they cancel school tomorrow, then I have to work on Memorial day. So to better the situation, I have an idea for a meme: post your favorite picture of someplace warm. Here is mine:
