The CUTEST answer EVER!!

In one of my children's classes, we're studying about travelling and famous tourist sites the children have seen. Please look at the last question and answer. Priceless!!

Shy Student

This little guy always covers his head up with his bag when I come into the room. Maybe it's my good looks??

Giving Back

This summer, I'm volunteering my English-teaching services for the neighborhood church and the parish youth. I'm teaching for one hour in the morning, four days a week. This morning, my students surprised me with some lovely board artwork. I think they like me! And I like them.

My First Windsor Knot

So for some twenty years now I've been tying some crappy, American-style, half-assed knots. I wanted to learn how to tie a Windsor Knot but never knew how to go about it. Then, I discovered youtube!! There's a video for everything on there, I swear. Actually, I discovered youtube back in 2006, but I just thought about how there MUST be a video for a Windsor Knot on there - and I was right!! How awesome is that!? I had to take a picture of my very first one, and it's totally not coming undone so I can use it again and again. Who knows when I may get it right again?

I'm a Vegan Now: Week 1

So I've just completed my first week of vegan-ism. It actually hasn't been that bad as I'm really concentrating on getting my triglyceride number way down in six months. I've been exercising daily and eating yummy vegetables and tofu. I've come to have quite a liking for tofu. Below is a photo of a typical dinner these days. Before, I was eating meat two sometimes three times a day. The past week, I've had none. No beer, no coffee, no meat, no dairy, no sugar - only vegetables, tofu, and occasionally soy milk.

And, YES, that's Slap Ya Mama you see! I add just a smidge to my tofu salad. You can take the boy out of Louisiana...

JACKPOT!!!

Got an amazing care package with meds and smell goods from my buddy, Toan, back home in the states.
