Happenings

I walked to school this morning. I couldn't see the top of the mountain because of all the cloudiness. It made me sad. So I'm praying it will get sunny again soon cause the grayness is not good.

I've been wanting to get a Christmas tree. There's a Christmas tree farm about 30 minutes from here so I'm planning on getting one there on Sunday. They don't open until the first of December. What's that all about? Christmas tree sellers should be open the day after Thanksgiving. That's what I say, anyway. And I'm excited because for my birthday last year my mom got me a lot of little angel ornaments. (My name is Angela, I like angels... you get the idea.) A lot of them came from 10,000 Villages, a store I visited for the first time over Thanksgiving break and I love. I wanted to buy everything. I didn't. So my heart is yearning to decorate for Christmas, but I have to wait for the tree.

We're having some kids over for supper tonight. I don't know why this stresses me out but it does. We're making yummy black bean burritos and my old stand-by: spinach and artichoke dip. Yum.

I found a book store that is closing. All hardbacks $4, all paperbacks $2. Hurray! And I bought bright red Keds. They're cheerful and make life a better place to live.

Now I have to go make a test for class tomorrow. And try to figure out a way to make my students stop talking in class.
