Let it go

Im chilling at home alone and appreciating it so much. Been out and about and done some new things today but I'll get into that later.
People have begun to call and thats wonderful. Im holding the rattan for a girl till payday. I definitely know how that is!!! Just watched a tatted dude and his sister leave with the fridge and left me with $$$. Gotta feel good about that, right?
A lady called about the DR table. After calling her and leaving message, I guess she'll be calling soon to set up a time/date to view. After looking at tables in various stores the other day, 75 bucks is a sweet deal! hmmm, I need to tighten up the chairs before she comes too.

I have a couple items im waiting on to post-the couch,the bed, and the desk. This is definitely happening!

So I decided that I was going to the GOODWILL. I see shirts that are good BUT the sleeves dont go all the way down to my wrists and that could potentially pose a problem. To avoid all that, Im trying to go over with a few shirts and hopefully get to wear some abaya's to work. This is where my new experience begins. . .

Ive gone in goodwill before. They often have great things for my classroom but,for some reason, the clothes thing has been something Ive not been interested in at all. For one, the smell doesnt make me want to rifle through clothes that are too packed on racks and who have been worn by only God knows who. After talking to someone else about it, I also realized that I don't like digging anywhere-even when the clothes are new BUT I was still turned off by the idea and the action.
So Im in there and I see 2 skirts that were great for wearing there and I got them for about 5 bucks each (actually a little less),and then I got some long sleeve shirts. I got everything in an XL if possible because I wasnt about to try the items on. But I can say that I got a LOT for 34.00. About 6 shirts and 2 skirts. Can't beat that,lol. After awhile, the smell was gone-or I'd gotten used to it I should say. I wish I had a washer in my apt!!!

So, technically, that was the beginning of my new experiences.

Now Im going to go and iron my clothes so that I can go to the flea market next weekend to sell every article for $4.00 and as I type this I think about how ironic (and perhaps hypocritical) that is. OH WELL

C'est la vi

order it!

you have to make a decision about what is ok to buy here and what you should send for. For instance, if its something I should just learn to live without, I dont bother. If Im home visiting, I make a decision about whether I should bring it back. Like poultry seasoning (for a proper southern,savory dressing aka stuffing). I brought enough to last me until my next trip home. Other things, like shampoo or some hair products. I really couldnt bring enough to last as those things are heavy so I make do with what is here.Luckily, my kind of hair is resilient to the water so Im not having much problems aside from dryness which coconut water seems to be helping with. Anyway. One thing I made sure to bring enough of was bras. And I had so many that it wasnt necessary to get some last year. But now? Now its about the time to figure something out. And if youre a lady, you know when you need to throw that bra out,lol. Its definitely about that time. And, yes, I could look here but Im not on ...

This will do

So I just havent made it around to making a video of the place.Part of that is because my phone, which had the great camera on it,is no longer.And leave it to me to buy a cute phone with a horrible camera.yes, I have a camera with video but its just too much hassle.At least I think so. And because Im supposed to be honing my craft, I decided to post my place in pictures. Enjoy. My color palette all these switches for one little bathroom no tv. . .yet just the two of us! I love this contraption,lol and on the off times that this occurs. . . I just use my teacher dry erase marker,lmbo So,so glad to finally be clutter free! cleaning takes one day a week besides the every other day of sweeping bc its super dusty here.I have ONE pile of stuff left and thats only because I need a book shelf.Thats coming soon.

Turning Tides

6 months ago I wasn't to happy with my situation. I was feeling stifled in terms of teaching time and a  host of other things and my main focus in life was to get OUT.  I must say that the year has progressed rather nicely and Im not feeling the same way about the year. Thanks to my coteacher, who understands what the kids need and provides those things even when someone says otherwise,we  are having a great year! I can't say that I would feel this way with another teacher. Our classroom runs smoothly and the kids are self sufficient. Today, two kids decided to make a book in the science center. The books were pre made with the title and had two pages for them to draw animals or write. They were provided with real pictures of animals to choose from and had been given instructions previously about their options (to draw animals they saw at the zoo, animals from the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, or to use the pictures if necessary). We also started this week putting ...
