I'm back from Austin! I got back this afternoon. The trip was fun, but it would've been more fun if I wouldn't have been alone. I did make a point to venture outside of my hotel each night. I even ate in a restaurant by myself! I've never done that. It was an experience! The trip was pretty suite...(haha, get it?) I did have a large suite all to myself. I had three sinks, two tvs and three rooms (if you include the bathroom) all to myself. I felt a little selfish! I ate like a queen as well. Embassy Suites provides made to order breakfast each day, and the lunch they provided each day was very filling! Since it was an all expense paid trip, I made sure to eat well for dinner.
No, but seriously the trip was good. I worked with other Language Arts teachers, as well as special education teachers and life skills teachers to review the state assessment for 6-8th grade Reading for students with cognitive disabilities. I learned so much from the meeting. I learned what those teachers must go through each day to provide effective instruction for their students while assessing them. I have so much admiration for them. I also learned some effective strategies for my special education students as well. Most importantly, I got to meet some really cool teachers. We all were from different parts of the state, but we worked together to create something meaningful for students.
I will say that I was the youngest teacher there. That was a little intimidating, I will admit. I got over it though and didn't let it stop me from sharing my ideas.
Okay, so now to the real meat of the post. Last week Murad and I went to see The Hulk. Edward Norton stars in it and after we left I started thinking of how great of an actor he is. Then I started thinking about actors I loathe (I won't use the word "hate." I detest the word "hate."). One actor popped into my head immediately: KEANU REEVES. Oh my goodness, how much does he suck? Murad thinks he's a good actor, but he's not. He's horrible! Name one movie that he enhances....see you couldn't do it! Here's another actor I hate: KIRSTEN DUNST. She needs to quit acting and get a real job. Maybe you'd like to share some actors you loathe, too. Come on. You'll feel better once you share!

You crack me up- I can' think of any super bad actors right now. One little side note about buying a home. It might help to buy now b/c it is totally a buyer's market= low prices and you can right whatever you want into a contract. Also, you'll have a little "good credit" history to help you with your "big" purchase. In other words, the loan company will see that you two owned a house for ? amount of years and were good clients. Matt and I had one baby in our "starter" home and then we moved twice. Also, the avg. American couple stays an avg of 3-5 yrs in a house. Matt and I didn't believe that going into our 2nd home purchase in Dec. 2005. Now it's June of 2008 and we've moved on. Sorry, TMI for a comments section. E-mail me if you have?s
look at me- I wrote "right" when I meant "write." I need to get some reading/writing time. Geeezz!
