Mortification and/or Comedy

I was lucky enough (or I guess some could consider me unfortunate, depending on the perspective) to have the video camera handy when the girls helped me organize the gingerbread boy and girl Christmas tree ornaments the other day. Please note that Adam and I take every possible measure to ensure complete privacy as we consort, but for this I don't even have words...

Summer in a Bottle

I'm talking about OPI's Koala Bear-y nail polish. It's fantastic! I was feeling a little blah due to the toxic valley air (thank you, inversion) and the usual January doldrums, but as soon as I brushed this vibrant formula onto my toenails and fingernails...voila! I felt at least ten pounds skinnier and ten degrees warmer. I highly recommend it because it's oh-so-hot. I think I need to go to Mexico to show it off. I would have posted pictures, but something is wrong with my computer (of course). Hopefully I'll be able to post some soon. Cha cha cha!

The Silver Lining

I don't know how this happened, but maybe some heavenly host knew I needed some good news after the crazy compeition day. Both of my teams finished in second place! What the...? I didn't think they'd place at all, and they actually improved in rank from the last competition. Hooray! Despite all the problems and annoyances at the event, I am so proud of my darling little students for working as hard as they do. They are all so sweet and adorable and it is very rewarding to see them progress. Flaaaaaaash All Stars! Yeah!
