Many things

Hi all,

School is engulfing me. I feel constantly busy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. This week we'll be having parent/teacher conferences and I'm so lucky that my list seems to be the fullest! [That was dripping wet with sarcasm]. I'm very nervous and frustrated.

Kids at school are going ok. I feel I'm challenging in a good way, but I'm starting to see the flair and interest begin to sag. Lots of complaining from the kids, too. Cheryl is not liking it.

Kinda funny story, as I'm drowning in edits and grading I find myself trying to encourage on their papers by wanting to just say 'Like.' Funny how FB is overtaking our minds and thoughts. I'm not 'Liking' my want to 'Like' on their papers! There is no button!

Oh, I'm driving now...and if I do say so myself I am quite excellent at it.

I ran out of school so fast today that I completely forgot my power supply and also my Bible! So, I'm cutting this short. Love you all.

OH! I have pictures...just a few though, I've got work to do.

Why Smurfs is called Los Pitufos I have no idea, but I do really like the name. I like to think Los Pitufos could be translated to: tiny, blue fat men (plus, a lady).

Yes, those are all Pinas. Went to a fruit & veggie market this weekend with the lovely Louderbacks. We were exposed to the underside of the backside of the massive Albrook Mall.

We stopped and stared at this man and questioned his behavior. Those are beans he is poring into another bucket. Some of us just couldn't understand why he wouldn't just pour them a little lower instead of having the balance and aim of a magician...The picture doesn't capture this, but there is dust and other dust stuffs flying out while he is pouring, which was the intention. Smarty Rebecca figured that out. Great picture though, so big thanks to Tina for encouraging me to be the typical tourist.

These are lynchees. Quite a few of them too. You bite into the outer shell, then pull this grape-type fruit out and suck on it. It is slimy like a grape without its skin, but it's tasty! I was impressed with the amount in the back of this truck.
