Day 8

 

This is one of my favorite Christmas presents, I got it from my sister. Just to show that great minds think alike, I got my sister one of these cups too, but hers says "Keep Calm Teach On". I came very close to buying one for myself but decided to wait till Christmas. Glad I did! She even filled it with chocolate, she knows me so well.

Day 3

I volunteered at Habitat for Humanity with some other teacher friends today. I helped hang door frames and was convinced to use a nail gun. The nail gun was actually really easy. Hanging door frames was not at all easy. I can say after today that I do not have the patience to be a carpenter. Which is funny, because as a teacher I am told I have tons of patience all the time. I'm just not at all a Type A personality and have the tendency to just say "ah, that's good enough" which doesn't always work in the exact world of carpentry.
