jets to brazil
I am sitting on the couch with a heating pad on my back trying to watch Breakfast at Tiffanys. I have never seen it and so far, I am not sure what the big deal is. Though I noticed the "Jets to Brazil" poster in Holly's apartment. On Wednesday morning at 4 am I woke up in blinding pain. My back and neck spasming and tighter than something very very tight. Since then I have been sleeping or propped up on the couch, with a heating pad and on muscle relaxers. Yesterday I ventured out to get a massage, which I think helped, but the outside world was really too much for my condition.
I have had time to watch the first season of True Blood, the sixth season of Buffy, The Women remake and the original, Little Children and Breakfast at Tiffanys. I am feeling much better today, but I did actually move around the house this morning and worked a little on an iep that I need to finish by Tuesday, and now I am hurting, so it's back to the drugs, heating pad and couch. I was going to go to the shelter today to volunteer, but there is no way that was a good idea. I hope that I fully recovered by next weekend, so I can volunteer.
I can knit a little, but mostly I have seriously been doing a whole lot of nothing. I am pretty sure I can blame all this on a stupid basket that I was filling with work crap and it weighed a million pounds...it will be purely decorative from now on.

rain city
the rain is back. i hired some dude to come and detail my car today, after the sap storm attacked it last month, it was about time. now it is on and off pouring rain, i told him to wait until next weekend. hopefully it won't be raining this hard then. i don't have any plans this weekend. i have one iep to write, knitting to do and the sounders are playing today at 5. i am entertaining the idea of baking something...we'll see if that happens. rain seems like buffy weather.
yesterday after school i had an iep meeting and ended up staying later at work then i planned, talking to some co-workers. my classroom is coming together this year. i have been spending a lot of time getting trained, prepping and then reflecting on teaching science. right now we are learning about organisms and it is going well. it has been a little exhausting, but the results have already been good. it is s different way of teaching, compared to how we do math and reading, by front loading or an anticipatory set, so the students get to actually do their own investigations and observations without a lot of help from us.
to make a short story long...when i got home topher, who had friday off, had made a delicious salad and poured me a glass of wine. then we decided to go on a date to palace kitchen, where we had steamed clams and oysters on the half shell. then we went to see zombieland, which was entertaining, it had 2 of my favorite actors in it, woody harrelson and bill murray and of course zombies!!!

intensify
This morning we are hanging out listening to Reggae and drinking coffee. Topher is making pancakes, I am knitting and also haphazardly cleaning/organizing our house. This week we both stayed home one day with a 24 hour bug. The house is still recovering. We are feeling better and today is jam packed with possibilities. Brickcon is happening in lower queen anne, it is a Lego nerd conference and the general public is invited today and tomorrow. It happens to also be the educator preview day at the Pacific Science Center, which means I get in free and can bring a guest. We also are going to head to capitol hill to get burritos at Bimbo's later and I really want to pick some candles and long sleeve shirts, as Fall has arrived in Seattle.Last night we had sushi at a new restaurant, Obasan, they messed up our order so we got a super deal and it was delicious! Then we went to SIFF, also in lower queen anne and saw ALIEN on the big screen! It was amazing! Tonight we are seeing ALIENS, which we are really excited about too. We also decided to become SIFF members, in part so we can see More Than a Game, which is open to SIFF members only on Wednesday. The movie took 7 1/2 years to make and follows LeBron and his high school team to the state championship!
