a musicians music

Ben Folds

2009-10-02T08:00:00.002-05:00

We drove to Dallas on Wednesday night to see Ben Folds with the Dallas Symphony!
First: I absolutely love watching "professional symphony" musicians playing pop music. They have such a hard time with "pop" rhythms and timing. It just makes me laugh watching them.
Second: Ben Folds ROCKS!! He has such sarcasm in his songs! And i'm not sure if there is anyone that is safe from being made fun of, if he feels it so...hehe!! Plus...he is an awesome musician! He plays the piano like no ones business. There are several of his songs that he has produced on his albums that he actually writes on stage at one of his performances. That to me is amazing!

So here is a video for your Ben Fold enjoyment! I hope everyone has a great Friday!

Happy Anniversary

2009-06-28T08:00:00.000-05:00

1 year today Cody and I were married! Woohoo!!

ER

2009-06-20T10:23:00.002-05:00

we went to the ER last night. i got home from camp and had a little bleeding. i called cody and my grandma and my grandma convinced me that i should just go to the ER. by the time we got to the hospital it had pretty much stopped but i got checked out anyway. everything seemed to be fine, my hormone levels where were they should have been and he did a pelvic which he said was find too....all the staff kept saying "it happens all the time"....which honestly isn't that reassuring! it would have been great if they could have told me what caused it but i'm not sure they know. it was just a really scary evening!

VIVID/Crazy Dreams

2009-06-14T09:36:00.003-05:00

So lately....i haven't been sleeping very well do to having vivid/crazy dreams pretty much all night long. I know last night i had at least 4 dreams...only 2 of which i really remember.

The first was...
My friend Rebecca had asked me to house sit for her. So i go over there (which i remembered later in the dream, that she moved and i was at the wrong house). Theresa and I were asleep....i woke up to a weird noise that sounded like someone was breaking into the room. I try to wake up Theresa but she just thinks i'm crazy and turns back to sleep. I go to the bedroom door and open it. Turns out...i was right, there are 2 kids walking down the hall...i asked them what they were doing and they said they were going to "mess things up"...i was like "okay" and shut and locked the door. We tried to call 911...but couldn't get my phone to work... at which point i realized i didn't know the address of the place we were at and it would be pointless to call anyway. Theresa and i did try to look through things in the room to see if we could find the address...but nothing. Next thing i know, Cody is with me. So cody and i decided that we were going to walk out into the living room. In the living room, where about 15 other people....including the PE teacher from my school last year and the nurse from the camp i'm working this summer. They are watching TV...while other people are putting all the stuff in the house into a moving van (by this time it is light out).....The main man had told us we would be won't be hurt if we didn't do anything rash....so we just kind of sat around. At one point i was going to try to text message Rebecca for help but got caught. The next thing i know, they are all leaving with everything in the house and the main guy gives cody a cigar. Then my sister is with me.....we are getting ready to leave and something calls us to the back yard...where there is a head buried in a flower bed and a person gardening in the back yard. I could tell it was some kind of trap, so i told Meredith we had to leave but she decided she was going to stay and garden. So i left.. ....then i woke up to pee!

The next one (and i think i dreamed this twice last night)
I was a actress....in a movie with Uma Thurman who was the president. We are trying to get her back to the white house where she is going to get married....at the same time the white house is having a HUGE night time Easter Egg hunt....in the first version of the dream, the eggs were all hidden and i just walked by them all and didn't pick any up...in the second version of the dream....the eggs where in big piles and i went through and got all the cool ones. Also, sometime during the dream Uma Thurman was in a room with a bed made of thick wood (like you'd see in a cabin) and she shout the bottom leg off and the bed started bleeding....we were trying to get in the room because we thought the president was dead....and i woke up to pee!

There was another dream...and i'm pretty sure it had something to do with a nurse but that is all i can remember.

Today!

2009-06-01T19:10:00.001-05:00

2009-05-26T14:36:00.000-05:00

I love kindergarteners!!

2009-05-15T09:01:00.002-05:00

My friend Paige was at recess duty the other day and had a kindergartener give these to her to put up all over the halls. :) Needless to say....she didn't put them up!

Happy Birthday Whitney!! :)

Flight of the Conchords show

2009-05-08T08:32:00.004-05:00

So Tuesday night...we took off to Dallas to go see Flight of the Conchords! It was amazing! They are so funny! This is was the show opener...and it was actually from the show we saw! The only problem was the crowd...i really dislike it when people starts shouting out songs they want the band to play, just let them do their own thing! I think the Conchords were not liking it much either! I need to catch up on the 2nd season of the show for sure! This show is for sure in my top 10....maybe even top 5!

Just a little side note! The concert was in the Nokia theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas. The theatre was awesome. You had assigned seats. Every seat was spaced out enough that everyone could see. Getting in the venue and out was the easiest i've ever experienced! The only bad thing was we had to pay $15 to park. But it was so nice that it was so organized....It took us less than 10 minutes to leave the parking lot and get back on the highway to come home. When we went to the Radiohead concert in Dallas, it took us 1.5 hours to get out of the parking lot! Way to go Nokia!

Onesies

2009-04-19T16:03:00.004-05:00

So i've been having a good time recently stenciling onesies!! :) I really enjoy stenciling and there are several babies that have come into the world or will be coming into the world...so i'm stocking up now! :) Anyway....here are a few that i've made in the last few weeks!

I've got ideas for several more...so i'm sure there are more to come! :)

My future car....

2009-04-16T10:18:00.002-05:00

So on heroes a couple of weeks ago...they introduced this car...and i fell in love. Yes it does look a lot like my car now but it so cute!! There are no plans for the purchase of this car in the near future....Cody wants a bigger car first. But in the next few years you can count on me owning one of these!!

"its not a car, but a mobile device"

FOTC

2009-04-07T08:38:00.002-05:00

This was the first song that played on my I-pod this morning on the way to work....it made for a great morning so far!

Surprise

2009-04-06T19:12:00.002-05:00

Today i had some surprise 1st grade visitors from and Edmond school. Early in the school year.....there was a lady who was working with our school in the teachers lounge one afternoon at lunch. She was asking about all that was going on and it was brought up that i was completely lacking in supplies for art (and music) and how much money i had spent on the various supplies that i needed! So today....her and her 2 1st grade sons walk into my classroom with 7-8 bags of art supplies! The sons had a birthday recently and they had asked everyone to bring art supplies to give to our school.....of course, because i'm me, i teared up!! It is so sweet.....and i will pay it forward some day!

Recycling and Fundraiser

2009-03-31T09:53:00.003-05:00

So i have started a fundraiser today that includes recycling things that for sure kids eat and drink! :) And often times...adults do too!! :)

+ Capri Sun, Kool Aid, and Honest Kid drink pouches (without the straws)

+Cookie Wrappers...such as Oreo or Chips Ahoy

+Frito Lay Chip snack bags

So if anyone would think to collect these and give them to me if you use them....it would be awesome!! :) Thanks!! :)

noah and the whale

2009-03-25T08:19:00.003-05:00

Joey introduced me to a new band called....Noah and the Whale. I'm really digging the CD right now....Here is a video link to the song 5 years time (this is one of my favs)...youtube didn't have it available to post on blogs :( But here is another one of their songs/videos, that i was able to post!

And here is a song lyric that i really liked.... "What you share with the world is what it keeps of you!"

Spring Break '09! :)

2009-03-19T18:31:00.004-05:00

A spring break collage!! :) We had good times....we had family time, we went to mcnellies 5 days in a row (retarded i know)....we went to the spurs/thunder game! unfortunately, the spurs lost :( on tuesday we drove to tulsa to see andrew bird (i'm pretty sure i saw him in our hotel)...the show was amazing...probably one of best concerts i've seen in a while. we went to sushi with friends alan and michelle....they had all you can eat 9.99 sushi and it was good! wednesday, we went to whole foods while we were in tulsa (everyone knows how much i love whole foods!)....then we drove back home and went to the conservatory and saw ra ra riot...who was very good too! and then things slowed down today....we woke up about 11:00 and then have been about cleaning house about the rest of the day.....and we will spend most of tomorrow cleaning house too. i do love a clean house...i just don't really like cleaning it!

Dogs and Cody!

2009-03-13T08:36:00.001-05:00

Flight of the Conchords!

2009-03-06T09:17:00.001-06:00

I love these guys and its Friday morning...we all need a good song on Friday morning!

Biggest Loser

2009-03-05T17:38:00.004-06:00

So we started the biggest loser at work.....and while doing this we have started working out 2 days after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have been doing walk slim....and it is a lot of fun....i really like it! And people may say...a walking video, how much good can that do you...but it makes you work and it hurts the next day for sure!

Robot

2009-03-03T12:01:00.003-06:00

So i'm re-decorating my classroom.....I've decided to go with a robot them!! This is the first one i made this morning! I think he is cute!

Edna's

2009-03-03T08:37:00.005-06:00

So we went to Edna's on Saturday night for Kelly's birthday! Well, actually i went to Edna's with Kelly's friends for Kelly's birthday because Cody couldn't find how to get there (but that is a entirely different story!) Anyway....i get there and there is A LINE to get in. what??? a line at Edna's...and when i did get in the crowd was like no Edna's crowd i had ever experienced....it was like going to a downtown club (no offense Kellie). I stayed for about 15 minutes and then left. It was not fun and I will not be going there again :( I guess everything has to change.....

Pink Panther

2009-02-27T12:36:00.002-06:00

In case you didn't know what this is...its the police coming down out of their helicopter to stop the pink panther because he is driving to fast! But i'm sure you all knew that!

Kindergarten Puppet Show Recess!

2009-02-26T13:04:00.003-06:00

There is really no telling what the puppet show was about but it was still cute!

the simple things

2009-02-25T17:05:00.005-06:00

new paper towel holder

64 calorie beer

sunshine/warm weather

45 minute of personal NCIS time

Wednesday???

2009-02-25T08:38:00.004-06:00

I was thinking 2 things today...first, today is only Wednesday :) This week has seemed to snail by! Maybe the end of the week will go faster, although i'm not counting on it!

Something that has gone by really fast though is February! I guess its a short month anyway so that makes it seem like it goes faster but i'm having problems believing that it is almost over! But I'm glad because it means Spring Break is 2.5 weeks away and i get a pay check on Monday! :)

Crayon Box

2009-02-23T11:19:00.005-06:00

Several of my art projects i get from Mrs. Brown' art blog. This is one such project that i got from her...i did it a little different but it still turned out cute! We read the "Crayon Box that Talked". Its is about the different colors of a crayon box not getting along but when they work together to make a picture all the different colors see that every color has their value. Anyway, its pretty cute!

Tea Time

2009-02-20T09:33:00.003-06:00

So i bought this last night at Target! It has a little basket in the lid that you put loose leaf tea in...then you add hot water...drop the basket into the water and let it brew....Its awesome!! I did have a little problem with the basket not wanting to stay after i brewed but it doesn't really bother me!! You can also use it for coffee!

Fun Foto Fridays!

2009-02-20T08:00:00.001-06:00

So i have decided to steal an idea from Whitney's blog and have "Fun Foto Fridays"...where i post fun friends and family photos from the past and present! I'm dedicating the first day to my brother. My little brother turns 29 tomorrow! Happy Birthday...i hope you get a pink pigota football!

Warhol Puzzle

2009-02-18T17:35:00.007-06:00

Today in art. I split up this picture into 9 parts!

The students then had to copy their part of the puzzle onto bigger paper and then we taped it all together...
this is what we came up with! :)

Shoes!

2009-02-17T09:26:00.003-06:00

i've been into shoes lately....why??? i have no idea! i can't really recall at time when i have ever been into shoes....but i could be wrong! anyway...today i bought another pair....a friend from work was wearing them and they had my name written all over them so i found them on amazon.com and bought them!

2009-02-16T17:53:00.003-06:00

We are in need of a Whole Foods in OKC!! We had school meetings in Tulsa today and stopped by a Whole Foods afterwards!! I love that store....they have the best cheese and meat deli along with an awesome salad bar and very fresh produce! My first experience with a Whole Foods was in NYC on our honeymoon and i seriously think we spent over an hour just looking around!! In the NYC Whole Foods they have a whole restaraunt type thing on the top floor with sushi and an awesome salad bar! Anyway....if you have a chance to visit one i say GO! And hopefully some day OKC will be caught up with the rest of the world! :)

Trying this out!

2009-02-15T16:07:00.002-06:00

I'm trying to post a blog on my phone and see if it works! If it does the world of Jenns blog could be in a world of trouble!

Puppies

The cute little owl i made this week in class!! :)

2009-02-13T08:51:00.003-06:00

I know it hasn't been very long since i've been doing this weight watchers things...but i will tell you one thing. I feel a lot better....i have more energy....i am not tired all the time....i feel better about myself in general....its a really nice feeling and makes me want to stay with it! I'm sure if i would do some actual exercise it would be that much better :)

On another subject....i was put in charge of the art and oklahoma board for the turkish Olympiads here at school....i posted one of the pictures (the one that i expect to win). And yesterday we worked on our oklahoma board....to be quite blunt, it looks like shit! I for sure didn't do my best work on coming up with an idea......i'm not to worried about it...i did have students that helped put it together so i can make my case that way! :)

Here is the picture of said board....

RID

2009-02-12T17:31:00.003-06:00

so i had to go get some RID today....for those of you that don't know its a lice killing shampoo. there have been several kids at school these days getting sent home with lice. yesterday i went on a field trip with some 2nd graders....one of the ones that was in my group and who held my hand, and gave me several hugs and sat next to me all the time, got sent home with lice today. although my friend jennifer checked me i thought i would take the no lice precaution! this has been happening all year...there are two families that have about 11 kids in our school that can't seem to get "rid" of it!! (i crack myself up!)

Opera Singer!

2009-02-09T13:57:00.002-06:00

3 of my favorite things

2009-02-08T17:15:00.003-06:00

Owls....Circles...and Sharpies!

2009-02-06T21:59:00.004-06:00

Another collage!! New Years Eve 2009!!

2009-02-05T10:08:00.003-06:00

So i have started weight watchers online! I think its going to be good because i can keep track of all that i'm eating...i've done this method before and it worked pretty well. There are several teachers here at school that are also joining the online program. It is pretty funny because we are all on each others backs about what we are eating and if we have been good. Note, it has only been 2 days so hopefully it works out!

I'm enjoying taking pictures with my phone and e-mailing them to myself...and since i'm at school, i've got some more school pictures! This is what was left after the third grade class left my classroom this afternoon.

Sure does look to me like this is a crayon bucket!!

This is my biggest pet peeve!!! Its drives me nuts!

The beans are for bingo! :) not crayons!

2009-02-04T14:35:00.003-06:00

So i'm doing the under the sea project with my kindergarten and 1st grade today. (yes..i had to come up with something last minute! :) Anyway, i was drawing some of the thing the kindergarten was telling me was under the sea and some of them came out really funny! So i took a picture...i will post some of their pictures later. :) And i couldn't figure out how to draw a squid fast so i just wrote it :) Anyone have a guess at what this might be...hehe!

2009-02-03T09:56:00.003-06:00

Art Contest...so my students are entering a Turkish art contest. I thought the deadline for the contest was today and when i just looked it isn't until next Friday (woohoo, because i was a little panicy!) Anyway, i had all the students bringing back their art work today and i think this one turned out really well....

(this picture was actually taken with my iphone and i e-mailed it to myself...so much fun!)

2009-02-03T08:39:00.003-06:00

So its time! Its time for me to come up with a plan to tackle the mess that is my house and try to keep it that way! So i am going to try a routine....and here it is!

Mondays- clean den/start laundry

Tuesdays- kitchen/dining room

Wednesdays- grocery shopping/laundry

Thursdays- free (i have to give myself some time off :)

Fridays- living room/laundry

Saturdays and Sundays- kitchen/laundry/bathrooms

Now one might ask when our bedrooms will be clean...and its a good question! When the laundry is all done our bedroom will be clean, note all the days of laundry. My goal is to be able to get everything done in the hour between 4-5 when i get home from work....that won't happen right away because i can promise you its going to take me more than an hour today to get all of our dirty dishes clean! Hopefully next week, assuming i stick to the plan, it won't take me as long! Wish me luck! :)

I am going to print this off and hang it up in my house so that i will see it and hopefully inspire me to get it done!

2009-02-01T08:22:00.003-06:00

We went and saw Taken on Friday night....i was so needing to get out of the house because i had been here sick for four days! If you like actiony movies it was pretty good, but again i say, it would be okay to wait for it to come out on video. I'm sure we will buy it when it comes out though. Anyway.....the best part of the movie was the old guy that was sitting next to us. He was from a really small Oklahoma town, you could tell because he talked really loud before the movie.....he was also on a first or second date! So during the movie he was really loud and made lots of very loud comments....the one that had me cracking up was "HE'S GONNA DRY HER UP" (said in a VERY Oklahoma accent) ....i couldn't stop laughing. I won't tell you what he was refering to, i'll just let you come up with your own ideas!

More Pictures :)

2009-01-30T15:49:00.002-06:00

This is so much fun!! :)

2009-01-30T12:33:00.006-06:00

Tori sent us a fun website called photofunia.
I've been playing with this site and its pretty fun....i'm going to post some pictures now....i know you are all surprised. I tried to do more friends but then the site went down...so i will add more later :)

2009-01-29T13:00:00.001-06:00

In the style of picasso....

2009-01-29T10:30:00.000-06:00

So i'm a little bored!! So i made a honeymoon collage!

2009-01-29T07:01:00.004-06:00

So the first year of marriage you learn a lot about your spouse and the little things that just come up randomly. Take last night for instance....i've been sick for about 4 days now and Cody has been really good (although, i think he is sick of me being sick)....but last night i was taking my temperature, he looks at me very seriously and say "did you not put one of the plastic covers on the thermometer" i look at him and say no....then he said "how are we supposed to keep it sanitized" and looked at me like he would never use that thermometer. Throughout my entire life i have always just used alcohol to clean of the thermometer and never had a problem. And yesterday, i knew i was running a fever....i used the plastic cover and took my tempature....99.8....i took the plastic cover off and took it again....101.2, there is just a little bit of difference there :) Its little things like this that you learn about each other that you never even thought there would be much of a difference.

I did go to the doctor yesterday...she gave me a shot of antibotics, which feels like is already starting to kick in. I don't have a fever this morning, thank goodness. And as long as i don't swallow or talk i'm okay :) Its been nice having 3 days off of work so that i don't have to use my sick days! The doctor thinks i should probably take tomorrow off too, i probably will just so i will feel 100% on Monday!

2009-01-27T14:47:00.003-06:00

so i'm pretty sure i have strep....which totally sucks! i've been running a fever on and off and my throat is KILLING me! its really hard to swallow! i'm pretty sure it wasn't you theresa :) i was going to go to the doctor today but since its hard to get out of our house i set up something for tomorrow. hopefully i'll be able to get out tomorrow! putnam city is already closed hopefully we will be too! cody got up this morning and made me a pot of tea and is letting me have the den to watch the first season on NCIS! isn't that sweet!

2009-01-26T16:28:00.003-06:00

I'm done with the ice, it sucks! First i woke up this morning with a sore throat....yes, i know, i'm always sick :( It took me close to thirty minutes to get the ice off my car to drive home. then, i make it all the way home and almost hit cody's car when i'm driving into the drive way. I get out of the car and fall on my ass as i'm about to get to the grass....my body has hurt all day, my throat and head hurts and then i fell....so of course i start crying! I'm really glad we don't have school tomorrow! It has already been officially closed!

2009-01-25T13:00:00.000-06:00

This is the tree that Cindy painted of Cody and I....i love it! Cindy is so awesome!

2009-01-25T12:52:00.003-06:00

I just bought tickets for Andrew Bird on St Patricks Day in Tulsa! I have seen him at least once and he is awesome...i'm excited to see him more up close and personal at Cain's Ballroom! He just released an album...Noble Beast, which i have yet to listen to but will keep you updated! Let me know if you are interested in going to Tulsa with us! Click on his picture to go to his website!

2009-01-25T07:00:00.001-06:00

I love pictures and i'm sure i will post many collages!! but here is the first!

2009-01-24T18:15:00.003-06:00

So it helps that people are getting into blogging, either again or just starting. I like to blog and there are often times i think....i should blog that and i forget or just never do. But now that more people are doing it again, i'm getting better. I did notice today that i have blogged a lot about school lately so i hope i don't complete bore you!!

Recently...Cody hooked up our computer to our new TV. I can honestly say it is super cool. First...we can watch programs on Hulu.com. If you haven't been to that site i highly recommend it. It has lots of movies and TV shows that you can watch for free...with very little to no commercials!

Last night we went as saw Inkheart....the movie i blogged about a few post ago. It was pretty good! I suggest you watch the movie before you read the book...the movie won't be as disappointing then. Most of the movie was really good...then it got to the end and it they changed some things that weren't bad but weren't as good as the book! I do recommend seeing it!

But the movie i HIGHLY recommend seeing is Slumdog Millionaire. Cody went in telling me it was a feel good movie....about half way through i turned to him and was like "what is so feel good about this movie" :) It did get more feel good towards the end but i truly think it was the best of the year! At least the ones i've seen!

Here is most of the Choir that sang today at the grand opening! Aren't they cute!

2009-01-22T17:32:00.004-06:00

So the 2nd grade art class was doing an under the sea art project.....as you may guess, they were drawing animals under the sea....i'll just post this one and see what you guys think it looks like. I just started laughing when i saw it!

President Obama!!!

2009-01-19T15:39:00.003-06:00

this is a very exciting day!!

2009-01-19T14:43:00.003-06:00

so i have a lot of elementary school art....as many of you could probably guess. some of it is pretty funny and some of it is pretty good. most of them aren't good at all but i'm going to show anyway! here are some self portraits from one of the kindergarten classes. :)

This is my favorite self portrait....think fry guy from McDonalds!! hehe!

2009-01-16T12:03:00.003-06:00

I would just like to say that kids are getting more and more mean. Kindergarten is one of the meanest....and they tattle all the freakin' flippin' time. Today a teacher friends brought me a letter from a kindergartener. This letter was going to another kindergartener in this little girls class.

"Fine don't be my friend. I will find someone else. Do not love....(and the little girls name)"

I actually kind of find this funny...but really mean for kindergarten.

Then there are the kindergarten class that is saying things like this.

"who wants to come to my house and play guitar hero? but you can't come" (and he points one of the little boys at his table....)

Now i remember stuff like this in middle school when i was growing up...but not kindergarten.

2009-01-14T16:16:00.004-06:00

So this morning i woke up and threw up a couple of times...called some work friends and stayed home! I think it was a migraine....my head was killing me too! I know everyone wanted to know this information.

So Theresa turned me on to a German book series called Inkheart. I'm almost finished with the book....i suggest everyone read it. Anyway...they are coming out with a movie and i can't wait to see it. Even without reading the book it looks good! Here is the trailer! It comes out on the 23rd!

2009-01-01T20:10:00.003-06:00

Happy New Year Friends!

I hope everyone had a great 2008 and an even better 2009~

I'm not making any real new years resolution.....i'm trying to just do things that i know need to be done and that i need to be better at. Such as being more organized....cleaning more.....keeping up with the laundry....things i really really don't like to do but if i can stay on top of it, it should be easier!

2008-12-05T08:18:00.001-06:00

Our school is in DESPERATE need of subs!! If you know anyone that would be interested in subbing please let me know!!

2008-11-27T21:50:00.003-06:00

Happy Turkey Day to everyone!!!

2008-11-21T08:31:00.002-06:00

G-mail added themes to gmail pages...i now have ninjas waiting for me everytime i check my e-mail....i think its totally fun!

Today...i feel like crap. I think its just a cold but it still sucks! blah!

2008-11-20T10:41:00.003-06:00

Kids make me laugh sometimes with what they say...

today i overheard this in one of my 2nd grade classes.

"Adult vampires are the only ones that can turn into bats"

I wish i could remember some of the other things right now...but i can't :) Stay tuned for pictures of the giant paper turkey!

2008-10-30T08:38:00.009-05:00

last night was pumpkin carving night!! :) it was lots of fun and several awesome pumpkins came from the evening....i even stayed up past my bed time! :)

cody and i bought some pumpkin stands this year for halloween....my was a skeleton and his was a vampire...his was much, much harder than mine!

Cindys pumpkins are her own design...and very cute!

And now for the political pumpkins....my vote with the Obama symbol..

And the pumpkin that takes the cake....and whitney worked very hard on!! OBAMA!

Some of the pictures are kind of blurry because i was taking them without a flash so that the light would shine through! And the last picture is obama and vote together.

2008-10-29T07:34:00.006-05:00

Last Saturday we did the "memory walk"...our team raised about $1,300 (whitney worked her ass off) thanks to generous supporters! Whitneys mother, a great women, was diagnosised with Alzheimer's not to long ago, we walked in honor of her and in memory of cody's great uncle who died recently and had Alzheimer's pretty bad. We are hoping they find a cure soon so that we don't have to force whitney into the shower when we are older :) Anyway...some of our pictures...

Go Team!

2008-10-17T08:45:00.003-05:00

I am currently sitting outside in my drive way with a bunch of crap sitting all around me. Yeap...you guessed it....i'm having a garage sale. This things are boring....especially early in the morning on a Friday when no one is even up let alone coming to a garage sale. Other things working against us.....its not very warm right now....actually i'm pretty damn cold. We don't have any very large items to sell....as a matter of fact....we have the most books of any garage sale EVER!! And we have lots of vases and picture frames! Today i'm here by my lonesome...tomorrow Cody will be here to share the love! So needless to say.....fall break is going to be TONS of fun! :) But it is all for a new couch...i have to keep telling myself that!

I am taking pole dance lessons tonight though...hehe! bachelorette fun-ness!

I pretty much don't have anything else to say :)

2008-09-25T09:49:00.004-05:00

So todays art project is listening to music...we are listening to the string quartet arrangement of the cures lovecats....and talk about what we think when we are listening to it and then paint what we think. So i had a student come up to me and say....

"Mrs. Bounds, This music reminds me of Thanksgiving and indians because indians love thanksgiving!" Maybe its just me but i found very cute and humorous!

Something that is driving me nuts here though is the students that aren't able to say the name BOUNDS....so several students call me Mrs. Bowlands....i'm not sure why that bothers me so much but it really does!

So school has been EXTREMELY busy.....Tuesday we had talent show auditions after school....it really was a nightmare. We had about 35 acts actually show up....45 signed up....and we cut it to 13. All day yesterday i had students crying.....some of my biggest pains in the butt were crying....but after October 10th it will be over.....but it will be really cute...there are some very cute acts going to participate!

Okay...i'm going to go set up for my next class! Happy Thursday!

2008-08-14T20:29:00.004-05:00

work: yesterday i about had a breakdown. i went to the school, and my room was the catch all room for the painters....so it was a disaster! i was about to walk out of the school, because there was really nothing more for me to do...and i met some of my fellow teachers. they were nice...but all three of them had cars full of stuff so i helped them move it all in. then i realized, i have NOTHING!! thats when the panic set in! now i realize, i'm a music teacher and music teachers tend to leave the stuff the school bought at the school and i haven't taught in 2 years and at that time i taught strings, not general music. so i was still in a panic and decided to go see what lakeshore had in the way of music things for bulletin boards and decorations! NOTHING...they had nothing! so i truck it over to mardels.....who has a quarter or a section of music decorations and really nothing i could use!!!!! this was even more frustrating. its a good thing i'm creative and have awesome friends who can help with figure out how to accomplish my ideas....hopefully on monday i will have a pictures to show you of what we are about to do to my classroom!

this morning i was a little on the nervous side. i'm sure most people are when they are starting a new job...but it went well (other than being a little boring)!! i think it is going to be a great year...and from what i can tell of the staff they are going to be awesome too. i think it will also be fun to have such a small school and a smaller group of teacher and administration to get to know!
so i will keep you all informed on how things are going!

for now...more wedding pictures! :)

2008-08-11T12:30:00.004-05:00

So i just have to say that Josh is awesome....i received my pictures in the mail on Saturday (right before i had to go play a wedding :( Cody put them in the computer for me while i was gone and i haven't been able to stop looking at them!! I love them....so i will post a few here for you guys to enjoy too! hehe!!

I will only post this many for now!! But i know i will post more later!

2008-08-07T16:55:00.003-05:00

Here is the slide show Josh made from the wedding!! I love it!!

Jenn and Cody's wedding slide show!

2008-07-30T09:14:00.005-05:00

So this morning on the way to work i was thinking about teaching music....and wondering what i'm going to do to keep from going completely insane with childrens music...surely their has to be something out their that is okay. Then it hit me....They might be giants has a childrens album....although i haven't heard it, i'm very excited about this idea....i did look at the song list and it seems like something i could work with...and it looks as though they have at least 3 childrens albums and are coming out with another. Then I got to thinking....Jack Johnson, he has the album Sing-a-long and lullabies based from the curious george soundtrack...this is awesome. And i'm finding all kind of musicians that have made childrens albums...including the barenaked ladies. I'm going to check them all out and i'll let you know if they any good!

Yesterday...i got the card that states my last name has officially changed....its weird. I decided to practice before signing it...i signed my last name great....but i totally messed up my first name....isn't that how it always is! :)

1.5 days of work left...woohoo!!

2008-07-28T10:39:00.004-05:00

The wedding blog i promised you all!! :) Please visit..

wedd to a different drum....the blog!

2008-07-28T09:01:00.006-05:00

The weekend....

This weekend was a movie weekend...we went on Friday night and saw the dark knight (again, we love it)...we went on Saturday night with Theresa and Steve and saw Step Brothers, it was pretty funny! And then on Sunday we went to see Hellboy 2, i like this too. Really, there aren't to many movies that i don't like..hehe!

I have 7 more days of work here in this office...and about 2.5 hours of sick leave that i will have to use of lose...which means i have about 4.5 days of work for the DDS....woohoo!

This coming weekend...

We are having a party....we have an entire keg that hasn't been touch and we need some help...also, why not celebrate a new job! And it makes me clean the house!

Has anyone heard the new flight of the conchords CD? It is pretty funny...they have taken theirs songs and changed them up....so what you are used to singing at the top of your voice isn't quite the same....but you are able to make out the lyrics better...and lets face it....flight of the conchords lyrics are the best!

2008-07-25T14:47:00.001-05:00

Also, check out Whitneys new blog...

2008-07-25T14:39:00.004-05:00

So i am having some duster buster woos...

We got this duster buster for our wedding....but we have no idea who got it for us :( I'm distressed because i can't send anyone a thank you card and i have actually been having nightmares about it. Yes, i do know that i'm a dork...

If anyone has any information regarding this dirt devil...PLEASE let me know! We also got a craigs emporium gift certificate that didn't have a name...any information on that would be greatly appreciated too! :)

2008-07-22T12:58:00.003-05:00

So, i just found out that all the sick leave i have does nothing after i leave...so i may just have to use it! :)

So...our honeymoon was awesome. We only had one snag and a couple of little hiccups! :) Our one snag was the day we left...we got to the airport an hour before and our flight had been cancelled...they only had ONE person re-routing the entire plane so we missed our second flight. Finally we got to the counter and they moved us over to Continental...and everything was fine from there, we just got to NY a couple of hours later than originally planned.

Our major hiccup was when we were on the subway. Cody knew are exit and we were talking. We were stopped and about the time the doors were closing, Cody ask..."where are we"...i tell him "34th street". He then proceeded to run off the subways saying this is our stop...by that time the door were pretty much closed and he was trying to stick his hand in the door to make it open...subway doors don't do that. FYI, he got his hand out in time and it is still intact! :) So i get off at the next stop....and get out of underground to give Cody a call...thinking that he would have done the same thing. But no....i tried calling 5 times and finally just decided to walk back to the hotel. About the time that i get there he calls and says that he was waiting for me to come back around.....and so we met at the hotel.

We had so much fun though, we went to the museum of natural history, the met and MOMA. My favorite was MOMA...they had a whole Dali display when we were there and it was amazing...they were showing parts of his movies and the art work that went with them. We went on to the top of the empire state building and saw the statue of liberty from battery park. We did a little shopping and went into Chinatown, Little Italy and Nolita. We went to the library there and they had a photograph display which was amazing too. We had our beer break about 3 o'clock every afternoon. We even found a beer garden in Battery Park. We went to a comedy club one night. We also saw Spam-a-lot and Young Frankenstein....both are so funny i can't even tell you! We even made it to central park and had a picnic (kind of) on our last afternoon there! Although earlier that week we got lost in central park and that wasn't fun! And we even got to see the Macy's fireworks from FDR...although it was raining on the 4th...it was still awesome!

But overall we had a great time and did about everything we wanted to do and more! :)

2008-07-21T09:02:00.003-05:00

First we must welcome Julia into the world!! Sarah had her baby yesterday....a little girl...which surprised the hell out of me (i was sure it was going to be a boy). They decided not to find out what it was going to be....i am hoping to be able to do that...it think it would be an awesome surprise not to know! But also very, very hard....

Today...i'm turning in my 2.5 weeks notice! I'm a little nervous about it...what if something happens with the school or just whatever...even though i have signed a contract and all...but i have to do it anyway!!

So...we went and saw Ween a week ago this last Saturday....they were really awesome and they played for about 4 hours straight!! It was a little much for me...but that is not the point of this story...the point is when we got home we had no power in certian parts of our house....Cody and his dad decided the next day that the kitchen light was causing the breaker to trip...so we have not been using the overhead kitchen light. Yesterday...Cody and his dad put up a new light fixture in the kitchen and then hung a fan in the den....it is extremely funny to me how excited i get now about little home improvements!! It makes me very happy that I will not burn up everytime i'm in the den and that the house is looking more like Cody and I...In the week between jobs i'm planning on doing some painting.....i'm going to paint mainly just white in the hallways but i think it will make the house feel better!

2008-07-18T15:07:00.004-05:00

So this makes two days in a row! :) woohoo! Its a good thing i have Whitney to keep me on track! :) Today...i went and activated my new debit card with my new last name on it....now they are going to send me another one because they didn't ask me if i wanted a picture or not....might as well have your picture on your debit card! Then i went to the jail and got my fingers printed. Why did you get your fingers printed you might ask....well....i got a new job (assuming that my background check goes okay :) After almost two years looking at medical records and determining if people are disabled...i've decided to go back to what i know. Music and teaching...so i will be teaching art and music for Dove Science Academy Elementary school next year. The more and more i think about it...the more and more i get excited about it...and i love the idea of teaching art, i get to use my craftiness and my music knowledge. Woohoo!

Then i went and got my hair cut....it so badly needed it! I had to take the purple out because of job interviews and i miss it! But there is always the summer! hehe!

Something else Whitney and I are talking about getting started is wedding planning. Helping people who want to think outside the box plan their weddings at a cost....we are still thinking about the cost part...and we will hopefully be working on getting a blog up about weddings/parties and stuff very soon...after we come up with a kick ass name!! Thats always the hardest part!

So the picture in todays blog will be from our honeymoon...and then i will blog about that sometime soon....if not this weekend Monday for sure!

I promise you the statue of liberty is right by Cody's head! :)

2008-07-17T15:41:00.004-05:00

So....i've been think about starting a new blog lately...something that has more to do with the things i am currently into...such as crafting, possibly teaching, weddings, and married life...and many many other things!! But i think i have decided to just stick with this one, and just start writing more, and start talking about the things that i just mentioned.

So....i just got married and am loving married life so far. Not like Cody and I weren't pretty much married before, although its different when you think about it and realize that you will be with this person forever and you start to realize as a female all the things you have to do to get your named changed...trust me (and as most married women know) its a pain in the ass! And i have had to practice writing my new last name so that it wouldn't look like a 5th grader had written it, which it does on the marriage license and my new drivers license!

About the wedding: I seriously believe i had the most perfect wedding (for me anyway)..i loved it. It went even better than i had imagined it and that is saying a lot for spending 8 months planning. We had so much fun...and everyone that was in both of our parties were awesome and very helpful. I remember being so excited after we set up for the reception the wedding morning to see it all come together!! You have all these ideas in your head and you just pray it looks okay...and it did. After we decorate several of us went out to breakfast at Denny's...that was just so much fun and so relaxing...it was kind of like there wasn't going to be a wedding that day and we all just got together for breakfast on a Saturday morning regularly....(which would be kind of cool!! :) Anyway, i couldn't have ask for anything better! And my family was amazing! They totally surprised us with the poppers when we kissed....i loved it!

I'm SUPER excited to see all the pictures! Josh is amazing...this is the one Josh put up on his sneak peak and i LOVE it!! I haven't heard of anyone that was there that didn't have a good time! And thank you to all of you that where there!!

Speaking of pictures...which obviously i love, the ones from the disposable cameras are awesome too...they are so funny. I will have to put up some of them later....as this blog is getting long and i can actually think of about 20 more things to write about...i'll just have to write them down and save them for later!

And speaking of weddings and pictures....here are the pictures Josh took from Whitneys wedding! Everyone should check them out!

So coming up in future blogs....the honeymoon, my new job?, wedding planning?, more great pictures, probably more wedding talk...and with out a doubt many more things i don't even know about yet! :)

(fyi, my husband hate blogs and blogging! i find it rather humorous! :)

You down with ODD???

2008-05-06T07:54:00.003-05:00

Nope, not OPP...but ODD??? I'm listening to NPR this morning on the way to work and they are talking about adopted teenagers vs. non-adopted teenagers and the difference in their mental health....when something was mentioned about ODD. Being as i look at medical cases everyday but the weekend, i have seen this ODD mentioned before. What is ODD you may ask??? Well, it is Oppositional Defiant Disorder...and heres my thought on this....its just another made up name for bad parenting. We just don't want to call the parents out on it, so we will make it a mental problem with the child. Obviously....i'm just bitching and haven't done my research....but i will...

Anyway....there is just 12 days until the RADIOHEAD concert in Dallas...i can't tell you how excited i am. VH1 did a special on them this last weekend. We DVR'd it and started watching it last night....i was highly disappointed with it. Whoever, mixed the sound did a really not so good job with some of their, more instrumental numbers.

I've gotten into Diet Mt. Dew lately...i seriously think its the best diet drink out there....it doesn't leave the after taste that most diet drinks leave...at least most of the time, i've noticed the after taste a little when its warmer :)

I guess thats about all i have at the moment....this weekend is the co-bachelorette party in Davis, OK....we have rented a lake house at Turner Falls...its going to be good times! :) I hope everyone got their invites to the wedding :)

AHHHH... the weekend.

2008-04-03T16:00:00.003-05:00

So we have decided that we are going to go to Robbers Cave this weekend and do a little camping. It should be tons of fun. It doesn't look like its going to rain but we have panchos just in case. This is the only completely free weekend we have until the wedding...so we've decided to take advantage.

I found out two great things in the last couple of days....first...the drive in is opening back up on April 18th. Fun times at the drive in are a most of the summer. second...ween is playing at cains ballroom in July. Hell, yes...i'm so there!! Cody and i were just talking about how much we wanted to see ween live!

Next Friday Night....AT SAUCED...the stringents!! Grandpa Griffith was nice enough to let us open up for them. We've been trying to do that for a really long time...this time, its working out. We are excited and we will play about 9 pm. So check it out!

Is there anything else going on....lets see. Lots of wedding stuff. Cody's mom booked our flights and hotel to NYC. I'm really excited about that because we will be there for the 4th of July.

Right now i'm sitting at my desk...thinking i'm very ready to go home and the last hour of the day is ALWAYS the longest.

I hope everyones weekend is good and that i get to see everyone next week!! :)

Mouse in the House

2008-04-02T11:50:00.002-05:00

So, for a few months we have been having problems with mice. I think they are truly gross but they come with home owning i am told.

So last night, cody was talking to his dad on the phone, and he comes down and tells me Oreo has a mouse in her mouth....and that she was just playing with it. All night you could hear Oreo running all over the room looking for that mouse. We were getting ready for bed and i was in the rest room and when i walk back into the room, cody says.....go get me an empty cup from the other room (he was sitting with his feet up, on the corner of the bed)....so i go and the mouse is sitting in some of his clothes...he puts the cup on it, while Oreo was trying to play with it....we got some paper to place under the cup and then we took the mouse outside. It was an eventful evening :)

fun stuff going on

2008-03-11T07:31:00.003-05:00

okay....so really its not so fun...my soon to be sister-in-law is currently in the hospital. i can't really go into details but she was checked in last wednesday and they don't know when she is going to be released. there was talk of yesterday but it didn't happen which was a very good thing in my opinion. i've been really upset by the whole thing but things are looking up!

then last night....i get home from work and they have blocked off most of 15th so i can't get to my drive way.....i go down ross and park in my neighbors drive way and noticed the cops are blocking off two or three blocks of our neighborhood and there is yellow rope hanging on the statue in our front yard....which we are told we are not to walk in front of. Everyone is getting home at this time and having to park their car somewhere else and walk. So come to find out....there was a shooting involving three cars that sped down our street, one of the trucks flipped over in the yard about 5 houses down. it started at the car wash on the corner....two people (that were involved in everything) went to the ER but not hurt really bad and last time i heard they were looking for the other 3....i guess they found a car at the car wash with a trunk full of guns....and the truck that flipped over, my neighbors son saw them climb out of the car and make a run for it....fun times!

Radiohead!!!

2008-02-14T20:29:00.004-06:00

will be in Dallas on MAY 18th....yes it is a Sunday but it will be worth taking Monday off! Pre-Sale tickets are sold out....but don't panic (like i did)....all other tickets go on sell through ticketmaster at noon on Saturday! You can count on me sitting here at this computer at noon on Saturday!

And showing to your right is the best wedding t-shirt in the world....created by Cindy who did an awesome job!! :)

Stuff and more stuff

2008-02-13T15:47:00.003-06:00

So....whats been going on here in my world....let me tell ya!

1st Cody and I have started taking Aikido. It really is tons of fun and very different from karate (which i've taken before). We go about 3 times a week and this is our second week. I really like the dojo that we are going to, they are completely laid back...and they also offer some zen and meditation classes that i think we may check out at some point!

2nd...we bought guitar hero!! And let me just tell you that i am a complete addict now! We went on Saturday and got guitar hero III but we couldn't find a second guitar....so then we went on Sunday and got guitar hero II. Now we are set for 2 person action. If you have never played....you really, really need too, and feel free to come play at our house! :)

Anyway...I think that is currently about it....except for all the wedding stuff that is going on but you can check out the wedding blog for that! I hope everyone is having a very happy wednesday!! :)

Movies

2008-01-10T11:49:00.001-06:00

I forgot to mention some of the movies we have seen lately. The best by far was Juno...i seriously believe it is my new favorite movie for the moment. And i love the soundtrack. Horrible singing but just fun :)

We also have seen 27 dresses, National Treasure and No Country for Old Men. Let me tell you that No Country for Old Men was one of the most distrubing, creepy movies that i have seen in a long time (maybe ever). Its not bad, as a matter of fact Cody really liked it, but i will never see it again. I think my main problem with is was that it has such a feeling like that could actually happen. The killer didn't have an agenda on who he was going to kill, it was just if he said he would or if he won the coin toss. There is no tension release through out the movie either (a least not for me)...movies like this really bother me...but if it doesn't bother you, you might want to see it! :)

I love orange juice

2008-01-10T07:51:00.001-06:00

This is not my ode to OJ but i couldn't think of anything for a subject.

Monday, Josh took Cody and my engagement pictures...i'm excited to see them. We had a lot of fun....even Cody, who did seem like he was having fun at all. Engagement pictures are pretty much for girls anyway :) I know i said i wasn't going to talk about the wedding but one blog won't hurt. And if it makes you cringe please stop reading! :) We got our "concert tickets" yesterday, which i'm super pumped about. And then our wristband have been in for a while! I also bought my dress. It super pretty. But it doesn't come in until April :( I'm looking forward to everything, i think it is going to be loads of fun. woohoo! But i'm also very ready to stop planning and just have everything done.

Really, nothing much else is going on. Just trying to work (its hard sometimes)!

On another topic....we found a really good band through the paste magazine. They are called Architecture in Helsinki. They have a very different sounds. They begin one of their albums with a female vocal and i'm pretty sure a theremin. They use a lot of full orchestra sounds too. Its really cool! People should check it out. ALSO, in bigger news...radiohead has announced the US cities that will hit on their tour. Dallas and Houston being two of them. woohoo! :) I'm going to make sure to be on top of this so i can get tickets the day they come out so that i can get great seats!

Convesation starter

2007-12-18T15:11:00.001-06:00

So being as it is the end of the year, all kinds of magazines and websites are telling us what the best music of 2007 is. This year has really surprised me with the great new CD that have come out. So i want people to tell me what they think is the best from this year.

Here is a list that Paste Magazine put out....Paste Top 100

And there are still more....like Andrew Birds album Armchair Apocrypha didn't make this list...although some other list had him on there!

Anyway, the point of this blog is not to see what the magazines and websites liked..its to see what my friends liked this year. So..

What was your favorite CD this year and why? If you have more than one that cool too! I have to put some more thought and listening into this question and then i'll get back with you guys :) I had kind of forgotten that some of these CD's came out this year! :) I'm sure most of you are suprised that i'm not immediately saying RADIOHEAD...but i'm trying to give other cd's a shot too! hehe!

Tonight...if you aren't busy....The Stringents Christmas Show at the Blue Door! Show starts at 8...and we will be playing some paint it black!! its really cool! :)

i guess i should stop cursing! :)

What's New

2007-11-27T08:32:00.002-06:00

Well, there is really nothing new here...but again i decided to write :) We lived through our double Turkey Day! I've never had two turkey dinner less than 3 hours apart. I was full...i'll just say that much :)

So as pretty much all of you know...i'm turning 30! And i'm sure all of you are wondering what my thoughts on turning 30 are...lol! Or maybe you aren't but i'm going to tell you anyway!

I'm truly excited about turning thirty...i'm sure most of you are thinking, "she's excited because she is getting married and really happy right now" and i say that that is right but i've been excited about turning 30 for a long while now. I don't really feel like i have anything more figured out than i did 5 years ago, but i've learned that i may never have it figured out and i've realized that its okay not too...i've wasted a lot of time worrying about things i can never change...or things that i haven't done yet...or getting everything right and why i'm not where i should be. Now, i'm realizing that you can worry all I want but it really does no good other than just makes me feel worse.

I've always pretty much been a people person...but it has hit me more and more these days how those connections are what matters. Friends and Family are going to be what matters in the hard times. Something else that i've had to learn, you can't please everyone...and if they are truly your friends that will love you regardless. I've caught myself worrying a lot about what people think of me...and its those time when i'm surprised to see that no one really cares about what i was worrying about and that they are supportive regardless...those are true friends. And the best part about turning 30 (and probably the cheesiest) is that i have the best friends anyone could possibly ask for! Thank you guys! :)

Old NES

2007-11-13T09:16:00.001-06:00

so cody went to his parents old house and got some of his old school stuff...such as his old NES, with several games. this is great for me because about the only games i know how to play are from that system. so we hooked it up and it still works...you still have to blow on the game some to get them to work but it just like the good ol' days :) So on this past 4 day weekend i have been playing some zelda! heck yes...its been fun but i get frustrated when i get to the main monster in the castle and have no life left or can't remember how to beat him....oh, well, i guess that is part of the fun!:) i'm looking for adventure island...that was my favorite game back in the day! I was totally going to get Cody a Wii for Christmas...you can't find them...so i guess that will have to wait!!

i only have 2.5 days of work this week. woohoo! we got monday off for veterans day and then we get friday off for Statehood day! who knew! :)

Thursday night at the Red Cup...The Stringents! We start at 8:00pm! :) We are also trying to set the date for our Christmas show...which everyone should come to...that is fun times!

and again i will say that i'm turning 30 in 17 days and everyone should come to the partae! :)
