Hi! School ended and my mom came to visit. I am now 21 weeks and it has been interesting. Lots of changes. The house is great and everyone is good, we just haven't had time to blog. Mom and I have been getting around town and Topher tags along too, I'll post some photos from our adventures one of these days.

Happy Summer!

Being pregnant reminded me of one of my favorite stories from work:

Student: "see that lady, she's a lesbian" points at a Somali woman who is on the playground
Me: "do you know what a lesbian is?"
Student: "yeah, that means she's going to have a baby"
Me: "actually a lesbian is a woman who dates another woman, when you are going to have a baby you are pregnant, is that the word you meant?"
Student: "oooooh that's what a lesbian is" and he runs off to play on the jungle gym.

SIFF movies!

SIFF has been great so far, we just got a 6 ticket pass and I snuck off to see one by myself:

Beyond Ipanema (great movie with great music and I learned a lot about Brazilian music. I bought 1 new cd after seeing this and I definitely want to explore this country's music further.) (For m&m trailer is here)

Waiting for Superman we saw together and it gave us a lot to talk about after the film. Topher learned a lot about charter schools and I tried to not think too much about work and the changes my school is undergoing in the next few years.

Next up is Rock Steady on Friday night, it looks fantastic!



and then Howl, starring James Franco, Jeff Daniels and Mary-Lousie Parker.

Tonight we are going to a Storm game with my work and taking it easy in the meantime. Yesterday was a busy day, so busy in fact that I finally slept in! Right now we are off to the Ballard Farmer's Market!
