1. There is a place near my house that had hot air balloon rides this weekend. It was actually right behind the school I teach at. It was neat to see them "take off." They really are huge! Riding in a hot air balloon is on my bucket list of things to do. I love adventure things like that... how amazing would it be to just float in the air?! It was cool to see the process it took to fly- from the massive balloon lying on the ground to them floating high up in the sky.
2. Call me crazy... but I like the taste of liquid cold medicine. Yeah, the "cough syrup" kind. I like the way is tastes. Is that strange? Or have they just been able to flavor medicine to taste really good these days? I remember having to eat a saltine cracker after taking a spoonful of cough syrup when I was little. Tears in the corner of my eyes, nose and eyes squinched-up as I took the medicine in one gulp. I hated the taste then. Now... don't mind. :)
3. When washing my hair, I always try to massage my head like my stylist does... it never is the same... Anyone else? My sister, who is wise, says that a haircut is not a good haircut unless the stylist massages your head. I agree. If your stylist does not massage your head, you need to look for a new one.
4. I learned that my new brother in law is an expert at medical diagnosis based on snot. How do these people become so wise?
5. It's amazing how much kids absorb... and what they absorb! :) Teaching kindergarten has opened my eyes this year. It has only been 5 short weeks, but it has been awesome to see how much these kiddos have learned! Most of them have learned how to count, write numbers, sit for short periods of time... Although working in 4th grade was a blast, and rewarding, I really get to see the spark of learning everyday in the eyes of my kiddos. To some of these kids, reading a book is a new experience, holding a pencil is new, being hugged... is new. And it is so wonderful to be part of that.
