I came into work early this morning, really too early, but I was up-- so why not. That seems to be the story of my life lately. So with that in mind, I needed a little change up to my usual suspects when it comes to music. Django Reinheardt used to be in the regular cycle of play, and I took it out of rotation. But today in my car, there it was. Staring me right in the face. LOVE HIS MUSIC.
Wonderful guitar, that has deep, soulful, timeless, and melancholy tones. Just listen to "La Mer". Ahh- it makes you wish you were sitting by the fresh open sea air waiting for your love to return. Just beautiful.

Is it hot in here?
It's been one of those strange weather patterns. Hot hot hot! I think it was about 90 degrees yesterday. But it didn't keep us from being inside. In fact, we had already settled on going on a little hike around Burke Lake ( lovely man-made lake in the middle of suburbia). It was beautiful because most of the time we were under the trees. It goes about 5 miles around, and I can't believe my little dog, with little tiny dog legs made it all the way around. It was truly amazing. We all drove home, tired, sweaty, and very thirsty, but it was well worth it, I hear it's going to rain for most of the week later on.
In the meantime-- I guess I'll just have to paint. I actually completed 2 small paintings, and I've started a third. I hope I keep this up. I really want to get through this little sketchbook, because I promised myself that if I did, I would get to pick up some encaustic painting supplies. I love the encaustic paintings I've seen lately, and I really want to try it out.
Here are some AWESOME examples of what other artists have done..... I can't wait to try it myself.

You gotta love the internet.
So I'm preparing my students for painting with acrylics, and because everyday we get new students, or kids usually end up missing a demo I thought I'd look for a quick YouTube video. Well, there are some ones that will do... but I couldn't believe one in particular.
I clicked on it because it said "color mixing". She didn't even paint! She was definitely pretty, and wearing a nice slim shirt that showed off her "assets" and talked about mixing paint, but didn't do it. I was like, this can't be real! I almost died laughing because I was sitting there the whole time thinking "ok, when's the painting happening?"
Haha! Oh well, no biggie, just funny.

$10 steal

I actually am a redheaded middle sister, so this wine only called out to me because of the label. However, it's actually pretty good. I just opened it, had a lovely sip. It's not bad for a blend. Fruity, light bodied....yummy! And only $10!

Our house...it's coming along.
Here's the Dining room. We painted it a nice warm yellow. The curtains are there to hide a hideous door we'll eventually get rid of. There's nice light that comes in from the yards. This part of the house may get larger, if we decide to add on. Who knows what we'll do. 
Here's our quaint living room, with the barking Lhotse. I love this room, although we don't sit in it quite so much, because we've moved the tv downstairs to the basement. I just love all the wood, and our books. It's small too, but we plan to enclose the porch next year and make that part of the living room to expand the space. Bigger is better??? I don't know. All these renovations sound a little scary to me.
Here's our completed basement. It turned out nice. We painted it just a neutral white. We're thinking about changing it. But we like it right now. We also bought carpet tiles. HIGHLY recommend them. Easy to assemble, and easy to switch out. It's already come in handy because our bathroom down here and an issue.... not pretty. Luckily we could just pull those few tiles out, and put down new ones. It's cozy down here. This is Lhotse's hang out too, she stays down here at night time....
Pay no attention to the disarray. I rarely go in this tiny room. But it holds our desks and computer....oh... and if you can tell, J's clothes. In his defense, the closet is so-- small. He refers to this room as his "dressing room"... how snooty... I pick on him all the time. ;-)
Our bedroom. It's nice and cozy. I love the shade of blue. It's so relaxing. Our bed is comfy too.
So I left out the bathrooms, laundry room, and kitchen (no one wants to see the kitchen, it's horrible).
I'm sorry it took me so long to post these, but I just haven't been able to put them up.... I can't wait to get pictures of the garden (I'm hoping to get things planted next week)
Enjoying the last few days of spring break. -sigh-

Spring Break!
My first few tulips started to arrive! I love them! They're my favorite. If it warms up a bit, I might have to take some time to sit out there tomorrow to draw them. It's just a little too darn cold!! It doesn't feel like spring! Where's the spring like weather???
Another pic of the tulips. It's so satisfying, especially since I thought the bulbs were eaten by the squirrels...
Today me and a couple of friends made it down to DC to go to the National Gallery. We just walked around the Impressionist rooms and saw a photography exhibit... 
R and E checking out a Monet. I like this one too.Hope every one's having a great week!! Spring Break is just moving too fast! I wish it would slow down just a tad.

UCONN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go UCONN. Not sure if they can pull through, but I hope so, they're in my brackets to take it all. I had PITT going so far, I wish they could have made the final 4. That would have been sweet. What an awesome game though.
Even if you don't follow college basketball, which I don't really anymore, so many of the games have been nail-biters. I could hardly stand watching, because it was so tense! A lot of the games were won by one or two points!
Amazing.
So GO HUSKIES!!! One more week until we find out who's game reigns supreme!

Concerts galore
We just got tickets to the Shins! Yay, one of my most favorites! Add it to the list. I guess I should stop buying concert tickets now, but there are so many good ones to choose from in the next few months... It's hard to not want to go.
But, we're up to 4 concerts, and when you tack on those stupid fees they like to charge it adds up. It's all well worth it. Good venues, for sure we'll get to actually SEE who we're listening to. It will be great.
First up Death Cab for Cutie w/ Cold War Kids and Ra Ra Riot!! A week and 1/2 to go! (I'm hoping for special guests-- but I doubt that will happen....maybe Jenny Lewis could pop by? Or Mr. Birght Eyes himself...Connor Oberst....??? hummmm???) We'll see what happens.
All this means that spring time and good weather gets closer and closer everyday. It sure is taking it's sweet time getting there, though. I can't wait for my tulips to finally bloom, and to get the veggie garden started!

Certainly has been a while...
I'm behind in everything lately. It doesn't matter. I think that's the fact of waiting for Spring Break to come around. At work I'm trying to tie up a lot of loose ends, hang artwork, take pictures, make signs, trying to figure out what I'm going to teach for the rest of the year... It's a lot. But I do have pictures to post of that art show my kids had last week.
It was a really good way for the community to see my students' work. I got some good feedback, and a lot of people hadn't expected anything like what they saw. There were some really good examples of portraits, design projects, and black and white drawings. I think a lot of people tend to still look at art as crafty... not fine. And there is a place for everything. I think when people hear where I work, they automatically lower their expectations of my students. Which sucks, but it's also my job to keep the expectations high!
It's hard. My lessons are so varied, depending on who's in my class at the time. A lot of times students come to me from no art background at all.... (I think I had art in 3rd grade). So it's a mixed bag. I love it when a project just takes off, though. It's so rewarding. And rare.... Right now, one of my classes is really enjoying the color and design projects I'm throwing at them. But that will get changed soon.
Next we're working on observational drawing, with using tone and shading. I'm trying to prepare them for painting. We've been asked to create an art piece for outside near and around the green house they just put on our facility. It's great, gives them a chance to make some art that will be up for an extended period of time. It won't be easy to assemble, but the plan is to paint flowers, herbs, veggies, and other things that will be growing in the green house.
We'll see. I hope it works.
I'm also incredibly behind on making any new artwork for myself. It seems to be a constant problem that I can't figure out how to tackle. I miss not creating art, I need to make it a habit. Stop talking about it, or wishing it would just happen and just DO IT! Argh!!
In other news, I'm going to try to be growing a vegetable garden in our yard. We cleared an area where there's lots of light, some shade an easy access to the hose (not hard, our yard is not big). I'm hoping that throughout the summer we'll get tomatoes, peppers, chile, sunflowers, marigolds, lettuce, squash, and basil! I've also planted my two herb plants from last year-- rosemary and thyme. I hope they can thrive.
Nothing is planted yet, and I'm trying to start with seeds... We'll see what happens. I hear it can be difficult, but I'm checking on them everyday to make sure they stay moist. Hopefully in about 10 days I'll have little plants, and hopefully in another 10 days it will be warm enough to plant them!
Wow, so that's an update.
We managed to book a hotel in Venice! So excited that our Italy trip is happening...... it may be the last one for a while considering all the financial issues. International School teaching is calling my name again....

Good times 2....or even three!
My students art will be showcased in a community celebration in Alexandria! I'm so excited. Through some frequent communication with other staff members where I work, and really displaying how much I really want my students artwork to be shown on the outside-- it's finally all coming together!
It's going to be a lot of work to get everything together, I only have 2 weeks, and....it's only for one night. So that means put up, take down in one night. But it's all for the sake of art, and my students, and finally allowing their work to carry as much weight as their peers.
I've never known if it was the lack on interest, lack of communication, or just laziness between the community members that this has never happened. But I hope to get more out there, and drum up interest for other outlets, shows, and maybe even an anthology of their work..
Anyone got any ideas on making an anthology???
OK-- so that's really good news and here's one more--
We just got tickets for The Decemberists! They canceled their tour last round-- and I was soooo disappointed. What makes it even better is that Andrew Bird is touring with them!! I can't wait to get some whistling action from Mr. Bird!!
So that really is triple good!!
I really needed that.

Couldn't resist posting....
Did I mention that it's so NICE to have my dog with me again. She's so cute, I just want to squeeze her all the time... All 10 pounds of her!
Snowy day
Wow, I was so excited to wake up to a winter wonderland this morning. It was crisp clean and just really beautiful. No school today either, which was really nice. Although, we'll be making it up. But nothing beats waking up a little later, feeling a little cozy, and spending that extra time with your main-squeeze.
J and I woke up to a winter morning, actually had some breakfast together, and did a few things around the house. I know, not exactly too romantic, but when you finally find extra time to put up a toilet paper holder, or mop the floor, or cook a nice minestrone soup... it's really nice.
Here are a few pics.. Including Lhotse...
The snow today-- about 4-5 inches. Just beautiful with the sunshine. But really chilly.
Lhotse sniffing around on the deck. It was a love-hate relationship for her.
Oh no! The buds on the trees, I hope they thaw out.

Miami Beach..
Ok, so we went like, I dunno... a month ago? Maybe it's because I look back on that mini-break as not the best trip in the world. It could have been the unseasonably gold weather in FLA (like 40 degrees... and I don't mean celsius). Or that Miami beach is ubber touristy, or the fact that we were kept awake on our final night there until the next morning by our nasty neighbors...
It was fun, don't think I'll ever venture down that way again for any reason (so many better places in the world). The people watching was fun, but it still doesn't out way that they're all intolerable. The beach-- pretty, lots of palm trees, and blue ocean as far as the eye can see.
Then there's the architecture. A fan. I do love the Art Deco style, and the neon lights are a lot of fun.
So here you go......
Yeah, these people were fighting chilly waters (although lovely) and a lot of wind. It was amazing to watch them paddle by from our hotel (not our hotel is not here, it was horrible. We got a lovely night at the Ritz and then had a serious downgrade.....)
See! It was cold, this old lady is all wrapped up in a fur! With a fancy red, white, and blue, sequin hat. She's cold!! She's gonna stay warm, so stay out of her way!
Ahh--- serene Key Biscayne, at the Ritz. Highly recommend it. It was everything you would think it would be. It was also the warmest day. We tried to stay as long as we could so we could enjoy it all......
The mighty RITZ!

The last day there was the nicest, and we spent a day people watching and had a really good brunch outside. Then we saw this guy walk by with a chinchilla (?). He was playing with it. Obviously, he's way cool. I wonder how often he changes his shirt?

Italia here we come!
We've been talking about forever, and thinking about it for months and months. And finally, we bought the tickets yesterday!! We are actually going to Italy! I'm so excited! I haven't been out of the country since I moved back from Egypt-- that's right, not even Canada. Although I did find myself in places I never thought I'd go-- Kansas City, Missouri and Lawrence, Kansas. So on to some amazing other places.
We have a 10 say trip that will fly us into Venice. Then we'll head to Florence for the rest of the time. My only wish is that we could stop over in Frankfurt so we could do a few days in Bonn, Germany... but that's not going to happen this time.
I'm so excited, especially for that to come at the end of my day yesterday. I have something to mark on my calendar and prepare for. I suppose it is time for me to take up learning a little bit of Italian. I don't know anything! Except...
Ciao!

The IN-justice system
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/02/23/pennsylvania.corrupt.judges/
I've been watching this unfold for a week or so. It just gets more and more interesting. Depressing, sad... I feel like today's youth is totally screwed.
Sorry. It's not such a bad world out there, but when I see such a connection with students and the corrupt bureaucratic systems damaging them, it becomes frustrating. As a teacher I really question how much actual good we're doing in our jobs. Yes, education is SUPER important, but it's even more important for students to feel that they can make a change for themselves. And there's absolutely no support for them once they leave the D-home. A switch has to turn for them. They need to feel like they are worth it.
Just ask my female students about the Chris Brown/Rhianna news story. They totally supported Chris Brown and even insinuated that Rhianna made it up or "tripped and fell" . Where's the self-worth there? Regardless of what happened, I was aghast that they would not support a female, close to their own age, who has been obviously injured by this male. Famous or not, they think it's ok that this violence was ok. Obviously, most (if not all) of my female and male students have witnessed a violent act to someone close to them (especially family) or to themselves.
I could go on. Especially after today. ALL of my classes were great, until the last one. There was fight in my class. Nothing I could do about it. The 3 kids were bigger than me. The detention specialist was in my room, but he could only do so much. Luckily I had my duress alarm. Hit it, and people came running in. But not before a chair and a trashcan got thrown across the room. Horrible. And not a damn thing I could do.
I'm kind of at a loss today, very unexpected... not sure what the rest of the week will hold.
I think a batch of chocolate chip cookies are in order. Warm cookies always help!

So close--
We were 25 minutes away from a normal school schedule last week, and I'll shoot myself, because the English teacher I mentioned on Thursday at lunch how the week had been going so well. No interruptions, no meetings, no random lock downs.
Well, I spoke to soon. I will never do that again. Friday, 25 minutes from finishing the last class of the day, students were sent back to their units. We were all wondering why. Well, the superintendent of the d-home felt like she needed to have a meeting with her staff.
Couldn't it have waited 25 minutes? I mean come on. Positive change and education, have no chance when people like that create an environment where those things aren't regarded. I understand that safety comes first in a place like this, but how are we supposed to create any sort of consistency when inconsistency is so -- well-- consistent.
This week is no better. 2 half days for "parent conferences". It's been on the calendar for a year, and no one brought it up until yesterday. No parents could have a chance to show up today or tomorrow. I understand that our students are transient, and we sometimes don't know who's going to be here on any given day. However, we could MOVE the dates, or give ourselves a chance to notify the parents, so they have a chance to come or not.
ARGH!
So this week isn't normal either. And next week is a short week because of Presidents' Day. I like my holidays, don't get me wrong-- I love them, I value them... I need them.
Maybe we'll have our chance in March-- no holidays whatsoever...
And don't even get me started about how students aren't able to complete projects. Maybe not frustrating for them, but totally frustrating for me.
I need a zen moment.........

Random purchase
I don't really do this very often... drink coke that is...
But today I really needed that syrupy-brown-overly sweet flavor. And I was shocked! Really shocked about how sugary it REALLY is. I don't understand how people can drink that all the time.
At the same time, here I am, drinking it, feeling a little naughty, feeling a little guilty, and smacking my lips together..
Coke is it.

At the same time, here I am, drinking it, feeling a little naughty, feeling a little guilty, and smacking my lips together..
Coke is it.
