I've survived a week

I survived my first week back (it really wasn't hard--only 3 days)
Here are lots of pictures of what I've been doing. First of all--my classroom and how it looked--I will try to remember to take pictures of it decorated now. I am applying for Extreme Makeover Classroom Edition with these.





My father retired and the church had a party celebrating his years as a pastor--here we all are waiting for the Harley motorcade to come get him.

One of the aforementioned Harleys

Coming later--cooking peach cobbler and dinner at Yangming.

$100 free

I spent my Sunday morning at Office Depot, I was there before the doors opened, standing in line--I got the following items free. A 512MB retractable Flash Drive, 512MB SanDisk memory card, 25 CD cases, 24 pack of Crayola colored pencils, Spanish language learning software. All in all it would have been $100 but with the rebates they are free! My rebate receipt was taller than me. I'm going to cut coupons now-

Cute cousins coming

I am taking my cousins (who are 18 months, 3, and 7) to Chuck E Cheese tonight, stay tuned for fun stories and cute pics.
On a completely different topic-Did I get the RSS enabled correctly, Michael? I'm still figuring all of this out, teaching myself the HTML and such. I am pleasantly surprised every time I hit publish and it turns out like I wanted it to.
