Completely Random Life

The days continue to fly by... Since my last post, my turtle continues to enjoy eating her feeder fish. Thankfully the bleach from cleaning the tank didn't get the best of her- I won't be making that mistake again!

And continuing on the topic of life, I got to see my sister over the weekend and help host her Baby Shower. 25 happy women in one house, all excited to celebrate the upcoming birth of her baby girl. When all was said and done, and it was only my sister and I hanging out, she gave me the opportunity to feel her baby moving in her round belly. I know life is a miracle, but I couldn't help thinking about a few X-Files moments.

Once I got back home, I was eager to use my 30% off coupon at Kohls. I'm in desperate need of a pair of new shoes (being able to touch your toes while having shoes on isn't a skill), black pants, a good fitting pair of jeans, and a winter coat (it's a little embarrassing when I go to put my hair up and strangers can see that I'm wearing a coat with holes under both arms). So after school today, I headed out for my amazing trip to Kohls, ready to spend money and come home with some great new items...

46 pairs of pants later, I discovered the same thing I discover every time I venture out to buy new pants: I'm short. The pants that fit me well are always too long. The pants that have the right length, are bulky everywhere else. Depending upon the brand & department within the store, my size ranges from 4 to 9 and in other clothing XS to XL. Feeling beaten and discouraged, I sauntered into the baby department. Let's just say that it's easy to buy super cute baby clothes when nothing fits you right. I think I'll have to make a return tomorrow. But I did wind up with a good new pair of shoes. =) I'll show them off to my students tomorrow. They'll be proud of me.

Speaking of students, does anyone want to read 27 writing notebooks and 27 reading response logs for me tonight? Yeah, I didn't think so. 

Happy Tuesday Night!
