Yummy Indulgence

Flea was a success! My favorite find is this warm, cozy headband from Luvasis. I got the dark grey one. (fit my mood) Although Luvasis sells the yarn with instructions to knit one yourself, I was in no mood to do all that handiwork. So I spent a few dollars more and bought the ready made one. Nothing wrong with a little indulgence every once in a while :)

Off to DUMBO

This morning I am finally making my way to the Brooklyn Flea in DUMBO. After talking about going for months, Gloria (6th grade art teacher) and I are heading over there. Regretfully it has been months since I've browsed and wandered through a good flea market. I woke up super early this morning jittery so I ate breakfast and checked my email. Now I am anxiously awaiting Gloria's phone call ready to go.

Yay it's a beautiful early November fall day!

Can't wait to explore: People watching. Food eating. Stuff buying.

On a side note, I am officially admitting I have a Cracker Addiction. I thought it was under control, but I realize that I am not satisfied at any meal with out a pack of Melba Toast at my side. I can thank my mom who introduced me to this habit. My goal for this week will be to limit my cracker intake for three per day. (OMG) Intimidating, yes. But I need a good challenge.

Project Funded

This week started out as it always does: challenging. It put a damper on my mood (the soggy weather was no help). However when I checked my email Tuesday morning a little twinkle grew in my eye. Thinking I was all out of luck, I felt elated when I saw a Gmail email from Donorschoose.org

Thanks to this wonderful website I am a proud owner of an Epson LCD projector! Completely amazing. I no longer have to request that math leads, science geeks, and english snobs lend me theirs. Finally our art department has the resources it deserves. Donorschoose.org is a website dedicated to getting students in need resources for classrooms. Teachers, can apply to recieve donations materials and resources for their students. Generous donors contribute money to fill teachers requests. From the graciousness of an anonymous donor, and HP, and love from friends and family I am happy to say that Project our Room with Art is a fully funded project!

I encourage tremendous support for this website. Its mission amazes me!
