what I would twitter if it wasn’t blocked at work

6:03am – I actually went along with my plan (made last night at 11:30pm) of giving myself lots of time this morning

6:57am – Sweet, my car didn’t leak any clutch fluid overnight and therefore I can drive it to work today!

7:05am – Cinnamon lattes with cinnamon chip scones are a divine combination

7:30am – I like the library when there is only one student in it and lots of sun pouring through the windows

7:50am – If I have to tell the same group of kids to stop talking/eating food one more time, I am gonna have to up the discipline alert

8:10am – I kind of like writing the schedule every day on the dry erase board, time to practice my penmanship!

9:34am – Finally finished the official rough draft of the RPC Welcome Brochure and emailed it to the group members.

10:04am – The seniors just heard their very last Friday song, I don’t know who is more happy about that, the students or the teachers.

12:33pm – On my way back from lunch I notice two high schoolers making out in the stairwell, at least it wasn’t the back stacks of the library

1:15pm – I try out Shari’s 15 minute post-lunch nap and it is awesome.

1:48pm – Is it 3pm yet?

2:25pm – Today’s productive activity attempting to wrangle my inbox into some kind of order, I am under 4,000!

3:05pm – I am out of here, have a good weekend everyone!

Brief selection of recent Flickr uploads

So on Memorial Day, a friend hosted another awesome Murder Mystery Dinner and this time it was set in 1943 – Great Britain.  Which of course meant lots of fun trying to dig up a vintage outift.  With some help from Jess (thanks for letting me borrow your awesome hat!) I was able to put together this outfit from just the random clothes I had in my closet.  This of course is both kind of awesome and kind of weird.  If you want to see more pictures (in which I actually capture the entire outfit) click on the photo above to see the complete set.

I never got around to posting these pictures from my walk down to the lake that I took with Tim and my parents two weekends ago.  So here is probably the best one taken by the genius Tim.  I didn’t do anything to this one in Photoshop, which also means you can see living proof of how bad I need to clean my lens if you look at the photo close-up.

Last but not least my 50mm lens finally arrived Thursday and I celebrated by taking pictures of cats!  I have a lot of learning to do with this lens, I miss the zoom, but I love how it is forcing me to learn more about my aperture setting and narrow depths of field.  Stay tuned for lots more practice shots!
