Day 114 and 115...Grateful for Dinner with Good Girlfriends...

Things have been really busy...and busy in the evenings...so for Wednesday AND Thursday, to be able to go out to dinner and visit with two great girlfriends. I feel blessed. Blessed with their friendships and blessed to know them. So, I'm grateful for dinner with good girlfriends.

Day 113...Grateful for Learning Something New...

So, I get to be in charge of our school's website next year (don't look right now...cause I'm not working on it yet...and my principal wants me to change it)...and I'll be teaching Webmastering. Well, my new district coordinator for that new class has sent me a huge book on HTML and CSS (it really is a different language...that I learned in college) and I started working through it today. I really did enjoy it. Even though I'm a little overwhelmed by the new classes for next year...a glimpse of the challenges for learning something new makes me a little more excited.

Day 112...Grateful for a Fun Night at the Ballpark...

Monday night...a GREAT night at the ballpark.
It rained all day...well, actually stormed...but dried up by 6:00 when we headed to the ballpark.
The weather was wonderful....
We received a Josh Hamilton figurine when we walked into the ballpark...
Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz returned from their injury rehab....
Josh Hamilton's first at bat...a line drive shot over the right field wall.
And the Rangers won in just over 2 hours (which is huge since it was a school night!)

It was a GREAT night at the ballpark!

Day 111...Grateful for Church...

I'm kind of in a spot in my life where I know I need a change...I want to meet new people...I want to visit and experience a new church family...but it's kind of intimidating.

So this morning I went back to a church a friend of mine and I had visited...
And of course, they were sending all of the members over to their new worship center to pray over it (as well as some other things)...and the visitors were supposed to stay with the pastor and "talk". I left encouraged and kind of excited about the experience...but before I moved to a closer seat, I had the feeling that I remember having on my first day of Junior High...and then again on my first day of High School. I enjoy the pastor, I enjoy the church, and I'm glad I was there today.

Here's my favorite quote from the sermon today...

"It's our job is to humble ourselves. It's God's job to exalt us.

If we try to do God's job, then He WILL do our job."

Day 110...Grateful for Movie Day...

I really enjoy when my Saturday is really empty...and I can do whatever I wish! :-)
Of course I was responsible for the first part of the day...Boot Camp...laundry...cleaned out some drawers from my dresser...cleaned my room...but then it was time for a movie!

A good friend of mine and I went to a matinee (to get the tickets at the low price of $7.50...ha!) and then drove over to the dollar movie (well, actually a $2 movie). They were great shows and it was a great relaxing day! I love movie days!

Day 109...Grateful for Spring Cleaning...

So at school on Thursday or Friday...my department head was gone...I have been told we need to clean out our office...too much junk...and I was motivated for some spring cleaning! So...one filing cabinet down...and only two more to go...plus our shelves. I feel so productive...I mean...we teach technology classes...pretty sure we don't need handouts from 2004 anymore... :-)

Day 108...Grateful for Programs at School...

So tonight, Thursday, I went to see our school musical. Thoroughly Modern Millie. Let me just say...we have some very talented freshmen and sophomores. I laughed the whole way through. It was opening night, so there were a lot of "oops" moments...but good grief they were awesome! So...I'm glad we still have these programs at school for our kids to show off their talents.

I'm putting it here in writing...one day Mary Margaret Flaming will be on Broadway, on TV, or in the movies somewhere....She's. That. Good.
