Happy [almost] Friday! I know I say this every Friday, but MAN this week has been ridiculously long. I am SO. READY. for the weekend. Rain makes little kiddos (and grown-ass adults) super cray.

Anyway.

Back to regular scheduled programming.

 

1) All the morning skies have been beautiful this week. I get to watch the sunset every single morning on my way to work. Because we start so darn early. Bittersweet.

2) We were supposed to have a craaaaaazy wind storm. Schools all over the Bay area were closed down for the day. Not us.

SF and Oakland were hit much harder than us down here in the South Bay. Today was just a normal rainy day.

3) Because of the threat of flooding, the people who live in SF were told to leave work early. I don’t live in SF, but I sure as hell left as soon all the kids were dismissed. Meaning I’ve been sitting on this couch since 3PM. Can’t complain about that.

4) This weekend, I get to hang out with Stephen who is in town for the next few days! I am so excited to see his face! 🙂 It’s been a year since I last saw him.

5) Next Monday-Wednesday is the 4th grade camping trip up in Occidental. I’m SO excited to get away for a few days. But I’m even more excited to get to see these kiddos in a completely different environment. It was an incredible experience when I went to Yosemite with my middle school students two years ago. I know this trip will be just as special.

 

6) I finished reading Yes, Please – just in time for our book club this Sunday. I really, really, really liked it. I didn’t know much about Amy Poehler before, but I’m a fan. Up next on my list of reads is Bossypants by Tina Fey. I’m looking forward to watching Amy and Tina on the Golden Globes. I’m not usually someone who watches award ceremonies. But, this is going to be pretty wonderful.

7) I read my news each morning by skimming theSkimm. I also ALWAYS check out theSkimm birthdays on the bottom to see if I recognize any names. Don’t you?

 

8) Apparently copper jug pitchers have a medicinal effect. Says my mother.

9) New favorite coffee cup to drink from:

 

10) Pizza and wine for dinner! Woooooo.

Have a super night! STAY DRY, NORCAL FOLKS. <3
