The Blind Side

This is amazing. I knew it would be because it had Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, football, AND the south. Ever since the first trailer, I had been waiting for this to come out. I got to go see it with Jenn, which is always a good time. And Iggy's fries beforehand? Can't really get better than that.
I really did think this movie was fantastic. It was inspiring. It was funny. It was really touching. It made me want to adopt kids. It made me want to work harder with my trying students. It was just really well done. I highly recommend it.

On the other hand, saw "New Moon" as well. . . . I don't know that I realized what an unhealthy relationship is portrayed in book two. Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining and I won't lie, Jacob totally made this movie (I could definitely do without Edward AND Bella. Stop whining. Smile once in a while. Don't grunt and whimper when you kiss.) It is what it is, and I'm not going to rush out and see it again. Can't say the same for The Blind Side.

I heart Thanksgiving!

It's coming up. I'm really looking forward to this week. . .and not just because there are only two days of school!!! Well, really, since the students (and probably me) will be totally useless on Tuesday, just one! I saw this on another blog and loved it!

Ok. It's too big for my blog layout so I'll just link to it HERE.

Just can't get enough.

Hysterical. Touching. Amazing. Love it.

Dear Friends,

I need to start hanging out with people my own age. Felt like a 29 year old trying to hang out with high school kids today. Oh wait. . . .yeah. That's right. It's what I do.

Any takers?

Love,
Kat

My Reasons for Posting are Three-fold.

1. THANK YOU to the veterans and members of the military who risk their lives every day for the freedom that I am blessed to enjoy. I miss singing in the annual concert at the U. And I miss my grandpas, especially visiting my Grandpa Paul at the veterans nursing home and all of the awesome old people there with so much history. I love old people.
2. CMA's. I agree. I'm so glad that:
**Lady A won for best song AND best group. I'm loving them. Thanks, Jenn, for the introduction.
**Taylor Swift best album for "Fearless". It really is a great CD, even if I don't like "Fifteen" so much. She is a talented lyricist. TS said, "I think I fell in love with words before I fell in love with music." Love that.
**Taylor Swift for Entertainer of the Year. Awesome. So so exciting. I think that TS is really funny, and really REAL. I think she is very "everyday", which is a quality I really like. I think that she is an entertainer, even though she can sometimes be pitchy when singing live, she performs. She puts on a show. And I just flat love it when dreams come true.
3. I want my sharpies back, you thieving thugs.

Wooooo!!! WOOOOOO!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

Yes, I do think I can dance. But not as well as those rockin' stars that put on the show Saturday night! Laura, Tracie, April and I all got tickets in, what? August? We've been so so excited, and the show did not disappoint! We got some eats at the Trading Table and then walked over to the E Center. What kind of name is that for an arena? Weird.
Anyway. Here are a few pics!
This really is April's hat, I just wanted to wear it. I've always loved hats, but they don't always work with my hair.This was hilarious! I guess they have come out with a SYTYCD "Get Fit" DVD and it was a shameless plug. Kupono was hilarious. This was a running gag. . . . Remember that one time that Phillip and Jeanine did the Russian folk dance and nobody liked it? So they kept trying to do the dance and would sneak onstage with a big old boom box. . . Totally planned, but funny anyway. Eventually, they got to do a bit and then everyone came on doing the same dance. . . ha hee ha.
Best dance ever. We decided that we are just going to say that Jeanine and Jason are a couple because they are waay too cute not to be.It was so so so fun! I'm really glad we went, I love girls nights!

Wow-ee.

Michael Jackson was a genius. Amazing.
