Day 5 of 365- Concert tickets!!!



I'm going to see some music!!! I love live music, but hardly ever go because of the cost. I passed on going to Maroon 5 last year when they were in town because the price was just too much. I wasn't going to do that again (even though that money should really go into my savings, I'd already decided 6 months ago that I was going to this concert no matter what!) Then, I found out the Fratellis were also coming to town and the tix were only $18!!!! And they will be in a small venue with general admission, meaning possibly I can get right up by the stage like I did for James Blunt! :) Unfortunately, the concerts are on consecutive nights during the week! Good thing I can assign a 2 day in-class dialogue to the students those days. ;) Adam Levine, here I come!!

Day 4 of 365-Bedroom



Kinda boring today. Just a pic of my bed! I was messing around with the timer function to take the photo without flash. I really like that bed cover so I likely will bring it with me. I'll continue working on using some of my camera features....

Day 2 of 365- Tea

Tea Time! I bought this in London last year and am finally drinking it, since I know I don't have to "save it for special occasions" anymore! We can buy it here AND hopefully this time next year, I'll be buying it at Tesco's myself! ;) It really has been what keeps me going physically (caffeine to keep me awake after all the sleepless nights!) and mentally (I smile and think of London/UK whenever I drink it!) This photo was taken next to the window in my classroom. Look at the butterfly bushes I've got outside! I will take a photo of them one of these days....

Yum. Homemade macaroni and cheese that turned out perfectly!

Hopefully this will be easy to recreate over there...
