I Don’t Want an Iphone….

I don’t. Really. No, the fact is; I need an Iphone. It goes much further than just plain desire. I obsess over it. Today I went into the AT&T store to caress one see just what this whole thing is going to cost me and to prepare myself for that. Jim is switching from his provider and needs a new phone, it’s time to get the kids phones if they’re going to be out and about doing their own thing this summer, and I need an Iphone. Have I mentioned that already? Anyway. So, I call the evil phone company (Spr*nt) to find out when, exactly my contract is up - I’m thinking mid-May and I find out it’s not up until August. I went to NY for two days a year and a half ago and changed my plan to accommodate the trip. So, now it’s not up until August and they want $200(!) to buy my way out. I’m not paying $200 evil phone company (Spr*nt), I’m just not. But this is not over, not by a long shot. I’ll figure out a way to get my pretty little Iphone. Oh yes, I will.

Save the Date

I just love the whole “Save the Date” ad campaign for Sex and the City. I can not wait for this movie. I am unreasonable in my anticipation and I swear I cry whenever I see the trailer. I’m not proud of that, but I thought that you should know.

Apparently there are all kinds of rumors about what’s going to happen in the film, but surprisingly, I don’t think I want to know.

Look, there’s a million couple of blogs.
Oh and sadly, I might have to go see it by myself. I don’t think I know anyone who lives close enough that wants to see it. It comes out two days before my birthday too.

Beady Love

I have bought a lot of beads over the years. No really. A. Lot. Sometimes I buy things that I think I’m going to use, that just don’t speak to me the way I thought they would. I’ve compiled a small lot of them and offered them up for auction with a $5.00 opening bid. There’s over $50.00 worth of stuff there, gemstones, glass pearls, glass beads, pendants, etc. If you’re so inclined, take a leap over here and profit from my need for space!

Three Day Weekend

Today was our evaluation and all went well. Tonight, I will be celebrating with a bottle of the good stuff and taking tomorrow off. That’s right, it’s Teacher-in-service day at the ColorMePink house!

Whew!

Even though I know the body of work that my children have produced this year, and even though I know how far they’ve come since last year and the year before that and the year before that, and even though I know, in my heart of hearts, that we’re doing a good job instilling in our children a love of learning and the ability to find the information that they need…. Still… I have some reservations on the morning of our Yearly Evaluation.  When Miss Coni shows up, I panic.  Sure we see her every year and every year we get a good evaluation, but still. I am prone to negativity now and again.
This afternoon we had our evaluation and it went beautifully.  It does every year.  We love our evaluator; we’ve used her since our very first evaluation five years ago.  She knows our strengths and our weaknesses.  She gives us wonderful feedback and great ideas and most importantly, that little slip of paper that says that I’m doing what’s right for my children and that I’m doing it well.
We’re taking tomorrow off.
