It's OK 8/16 and Thankful Thursday


Its Ok Thursdays


It's okay that Scott has finally been promoted to Captain!  We've been waiting for this forever.  There's a wait list for engineering officers to be promoted.  Captain Darhower just has a nice ring to it.  And he's not a teacher.  I had to spell out my name for parents at Open House last night.  And one asked of its origin.  My response?  "It's my husband's name.  I ain't no German." Just kidding.  I answered with an impressive, "I dunno".

It's okay that I found a new show to watch: Justified.  Watching Timothy Olyphant wear a cowboy hat is certainly not a chore.  (Note:  If you don't like the theme song, I don't like you.)

It's okay that Hoyt is moving to Alaska.  Maybe Jason will visit us him.  Him.  I meant him.

It's okay that THIS is going down today.
I keep the blinds closed, lest they be mesmerized by the view.
Thankful Thursday @The Ramblings of Mrs. Hargraves I'm so thankful that Scott has been promoted.  This was the boost of morale he and I have been needing when it comes to the army. I'm thankful I have a t.v. in my classroom.  Yes, indeedio.  I watched some Dexter in there this week whilst I was labeling desks and books  (I'm not your average 4th grade teacher). I'm thankful that I was able to pick up an extra job for the month of August.  More work now, more vacation money later.  (It's not real work.  I'm coordinating field trips for the state fair.  I lost the ability to do real work when I took on the role of "wife".  I'm spoiled.)

  2. Dude, you just now started watching Justified? This show is so beyond fabulous that it still surprises me that not everyone in the world has seen it haha. Timothy Olyphant is such a damn hottie, and in that hat...wowza.

    I was so sad that Hoyt moved to Alaska but also really glad they didnt kill him off. I still have high hopes of him coming back. Just like I have high hopes Bill will pull his head out of Salome's vajajay. Oh, and of course, congratulations to your husband!!

  4. Congratulations to your husband on the promotion! How exciting :)

    I have to admit, I cried like a little girl during Hoyt's conversation w/ Jessica and Jason. When she glammered him, I was a wreck! I loved Hoyt for the most part so I'm sad to see him go.

  7. I love Justified-- it's one of the first shows my fiance & I started watching together... & it's by far one of the best shows on TV!! I live in Kentucky, so it's always fun for us to point out little things (like that Lexington & Harlan are 3 hours away from each other, when it seems so close in the show!). Even though they don't film in KY, they've gotten a lot of little details just right, though! & loving your classroom, I'm so ready to start on mine Monday!

    Hope you have a great weekend! I'm your newest follower!

  10. Um Timothy O is delicious. The end. And I love your classroom view. I have bars on my windows, so my somewhat okay view is blocked. Maybe I will post some pictures this week once I am done setting it all up.
