It's soooo true! Marc's accent isn't terribly bad but since April he has a new job in Bedford so he works with a lot of people that have those really thick accents and he's picking up certain words. Especially the word "dollahs", drives me crazy. I'm from Maine so I have an accent for sure but my relatives that live close to Canada, my goodness gracious....
Oh yes, that would be a watermelon! This week with the cantaloupe is the first fruit that really scares me, last week was a mango. I can give birth to a mango...a cantaloupe...scary.
That little playground area is very cute. I usually don't get close enough to Splash to see it but I did when I rode in Sept. '10 with Marc.
I seriously can't wait to for Fantasyland to open up. I want to see pictures and get my touring strategy figured out!
I always wuhn-dud why naw-thunahs don't give tribute to the r's in some words. They say aaah instead of r. In the south, some people make up for it by adding r's where they don't belong, as in
'warsh' the dishes.
Not us. We do not warsh, but we know people who do. Drives me nuts to hear them say that. I want to ask them to spell wash and point out the r in it.
Don't stress about your little watermelon. Although you will recall every detail of the day you deliver and will be able to recite it in conversation for the rest of your life, the painful part is so worth what you get in going through it. You tend to forget the hard part enough that you might actually want to have more watermelons!
Touring strategies will certainly change when the new stuff opens up. New planning for Disney crazies - it's what we live for.
I didn't realize there was a playground near Splash. I guess when you have a 22 year old & an 18 year old that would by why.
Yep, right by the bathrooms back there. You can often find characters back there, too.
Happy Friday!
I am enjoying catching up this morning on a much needed and much appreciated day off.
I love the Jungle Cruise but we haven't ridden in a couple of trips. I loved the last time we rode Ben got most of the jokes. We need to ride again because I bet Ellie would get them this time.
I'm glad your observations all done with for the time and the others can be combined. That article was crazy, and sad. I know they are "testing" a similar system in a few districts in VA. Supposedly 40% of your summative evaluation is based on student performance. They were not clear about exactly what performance though, especially for those of us in non State testing grades. Perhaps they will learn from TN. I got observed yesterday by my new principal during math. It was ok and she wrote nice things. Then I got an email from my AP saying she was coming during reading sometime soon. I hope after that, it's done until after Christmas.
I've been meaning to ask if the girls liked those "horribly, scary" things we aren't supposed to talk about I sent them? I hope they didn't upset you too much! A friend gave me a bunch of them so I passed them on to people I thought would enjoy them.
Have a great weekend!
I am glad it is Saturday. I can pretty much do whatever I want today. None of it will be exciting, but it will be whatever I want it to be.
I will start by mailing out some care packages for our college kids at church. After that, there will possibly be a grocery store run. There could be some pretty exciting vacuuming going on shortly after that, and I may spend some quality time with some dust rags this evening.
Jealous yet?
Yes, the girls did like the snowglobes, and they really liked the blanket. You were so kind to think of them. Jill mentioned sending you a thank you e-mail, but I guess she got busy and forgot. I am sorry to report that one of the figures, and I want to say it was Flora, suffered a bit of an injury during shipping. Her doctors seem to think a little super glue will heal her right up, though.
I liked evaluations better when they just came in and took notes and 'graded' us from there. Basically it was just a feedback session. With this rubric, I feel like I am scampering all over the place trying to hit all the points rather than just getting in the flow of the lesson. It turned out okay, though.

for me but 
for you all!
