happy out of school (yes, sixth grade, you must blog all during Christmas or else you will fail winter break – and no college will ever accept you if you fail winter break…)
“a snicker of magic” – like another elem BOB last year – folksy southern book – the main characters are sixth grade – i would think sixth graders could enjoy the book – definitely elem kids – it was enjoyable – i actually contacted the publisher after reading it
“elvis and the underdogs” – not a great title/book match – the cover wasn’t either – but a decent read – the dog’s voice allowed the author to have a smart-ical character in the book – although, the fourth grader was really bright – i guess i’ve been out of school so long that i “forget” how cruel kids can be – b/c there were several times in this book when i stopped and thought that teachers/kids wouldn’t let the abuse go on that went on in the book – maybe i just live in a happy bubble world…
“organic creativity” – my happy bubble world includes lots of new creative ideas for the classroom thanks to this book – things like fantasy teams for Shakespeare, Celeb Duels
“nazi hunters” – closed high school BOB with a fascinating read – the true-life story of a group of men’s dedication to the prosecution of a nazi government official – who got to live 17 years later than the six million people he killed – the wheels of justice can be slow to turn, but they do turn
merry Christmas – of course
maf
First.
Second!
i looked for victoria at the playground today at elem – and for detective at the library – and then for 14 fibs at the library – li’l bri hid it very, very well – i had to ask the librarian for help – which was good b/c no one was there – customerwise – even at nearly 11 am – and then lo and behold, we go back to the section and it had appeared – so maybe a 15 fib book…
I’m watching Sherlock and he hung a dummy from a ceiling because he was bored .. Ineed to try that one day…
i rewatching buffy – this time with commentary – all the writers loved principal snyder – they wanted to bring him back – even after they killed him
Really, Sherlock? Dont get me started.
Why would they want to bring back Principle Snyder?( my adopted grandfather)
i’m thinking about reading parts of my princess sarah elizabeth book aloud as a podcast – that people could subscribe to on itunes – a different chapter or so every week-ish – thoughts???
That would be really cool, I think.
Christmas Eve= Guy’s Grocery Games Marathon! (Oh yeah and my night before scholars bowl tournament story, that could be interesting)
Merry Christmas, Mayfieldya!
I would buy that!! Speaking of iTunes I got a Fifty dollar card for that and have no clue what to buy any suggestions?? By the way Merry Christmas Mayfieldian children!!
merry christmas to detective, scholar no. 1 billy (all i want for scholar’s bowl is to destroy omms, all of mountain brook, and much of the greater hoover area), and victoria
and the rest – even fred – probably currently online waiting for tickets to open up for 1D’s summer tour
What did I do to y’all!
I seriously have no clue what to buy….I would follow Sarah’s lead but her songs are dirty..
victoria – sarah’s songs are totally not cool – at all
i’m checking out itunes as we speak – i miss cover album art though from the old cd’s
First 1D song downloaded, reason for a party? I think so. Steal my Girl. That’s what’s up.
Yeah Old time music is Amazibg to me! I love listening to it and seeing how different it is compared to now because it’s nice to see how “clean” the songs that were risky back then are now a days..
oh victoria, songs back in the day were just as dirty – at least, that’s most of what briarwood taught me
(we actually had a music unit in seventh grade and looked at the “evils” of rock music – i know a whole lot – lots of funny stories there – one, that we would watch this guy on video talking about groups i’d never heard of – and saying the music was bad:)
billy, glad you joined the cult – i’m thinking field trip this summer to watch iD – after we win nationals, of course
meanwhile, i’m listening to bluegrass this Christmas – which, by the way, is very much a first
i’m reading terrestria by r reeves – i can see why the detective is part elf…
Now I am afraid. Very, /very/ afraid.
First time in forever I’m actually on the blog. And may I add that eleven hour car rides are not fun. Had to go to to morgantown wv. I finished all of my harry potter books 🙁
And the hotel I’m staying in is reportedly one of the most haunted places in wv
We are down in Florid, but LEGOLAND is a repeat for me. Harry Potter tomorrow! Got to get a blundger, a bludger bat, and a snitch to complete my Quidditich set. And just to be clear,we are talking about national finals in dallas right?
yes billy, we talkin’ nationals – if we can rebound from thompson:)
i’m jealous about the potter visit – developed after my days in o-town – my sister has expressed much interest in running the disney marathon – i think it sort of ruins disney
jason – brrr – but congrats on the potter books – i finished terrestria – or the part i have – i loved that queen skylar died a horrible, horrible death – oops, spoiler…
I’m about to head out to my Mom’s, Mom’s house in the farms and barns of Cullman Alabama for a late Christmas Celebration. I will see cousins and Aunts and Uncles of which I barely know. So wish me good luck because my iPod is going to be sick of me by the end of the trip…
The hotel was actually pretty cool.
Yes…
I should probably send you the most recent version. The one you have is old.
victoria – your ipod could never get sick of you:) so long as you haven’t downloaded sarah’s trashy music
detective – if it’s longer, i refuse to read it unless there’s more romance between the unseelies and the seelies – ya see???
I see. However, I pledged not to have any romance whatsoever until I had one hundred pages. 🙂
However I returned from the farms and barns feeling good with a Yahoo in my hand and gifts upon my back 🙂
