So I have been ill and out of touch with most reality for some time now and then just started a new job at a different preschool. Here are some things about both of those things which make me laugh...
1.) Pudding in a Cone...is there anything funnier than that? Tomorrow for snack I have to make instant pudding and then put it into an ice cream cone so that it is like ice cream but instead pudding. Pudding! Ha! Do people still really make pudding? How does one go about actually making pudding...I guess I will find out tomorrow.
2.) Sex and the City-The series on DVD NOT THE MOVIE! I haven't seen the movie because I haven't been able to sit in the theater without being in pain. I tried to see Narnia and had to leave the movie theater because I was in pain. So Sex and the City has been helping me pass the time-not even while I was sick but directly after when I was weaning myself off pain killers and thankfully had Sex and the City to fall asleep too. I should really thank Law and Order (SVU) for getting me through my illness-mindless scary television A++!!
3.) Webkinz/webkinz.com So I didn't know about these fun furry little pets but because I couldn't do anything I was given a couple as a gift and wow do they ever help the time pass. It's like Sims or Secondlife but for kids. even better since I don't have a clue how to play Sims or Secondlife. So you buy a stuffed animal and then there is a code and you sign in on the website and pouff you are taken into the fun and exciting world of webkins. You get to make them a house and dress them and shit and you win money by doing trivia and playing games which I already like to do anyway! SCORE! Plus now I have a kangaroo named Blue and he is fly like whoa! Check it out:

These are a few of my favorite things!

Top five things to do during my kids' nap time
disclaimer: my preschoolers-not my actual kids. I do believe this may have turned me off to wanting children EVER!
5.) Homework: Silly I know-but it tends to be a good hour and a half of quiet work time. Especially good for the amount of busy work I have this quarter. It is very good time to do my Learning Self Eval for the week or write my questions for class the next day. I appreciate this homework time because at least there is usually a decent story-on-tape playing or some nice homeworking-type music.
4.) Pretending to be doing homework. This is one of my favorite things to do because it makes me not have to do work things or converse with my boss on too much of a personal level. Hence I love pretending to be doing homework even when I am totally not.
3.) On-Line shopping. Maybe a faux pas to be doing at work but I am over it. I have bought cloth pads (really awesome ones), acne meds, a couple of clothing items-just really great things that shouldn't be done at work-but my work has no internet filter so-HAH!
2.) Reading children's books. We have a bunch of really great Eric Carle books (Hungry Caterpiller, Brown Bear Brown Bear etc...) and it allows me time to catch up on my children's lit and relive my childhood memories. I also love Disney storyteller tapes, they are awesome stories I once had as a child but got lost somewhere along the way. Now I get to listen to all of them as much as I want!
1.) Post top-five lists. I know I know I should not revel in this fact but I do really enjoy that I get some time to Blog for myself during nap time otherwise I might never ever have a chance.

Intercultural Communication
So for my Intercultural Communication Class I have to do this on-line journal/portfolio thing. I thought I would post the link in case anyone wants to see how truly weird this class is and how weird the assignment is too. But in the end I sort of like it...sort of...

Top Five things to do in good weather in the town of EP and neighboring places
5.) Go to Meadow Mountain cafe although this is super duper fun in the snow too. But at least there is no risk of getting stuck in said place. It is also fun to stop at the spring and get some yummy water to drink too-and it doesn't matter as much if it spills all over because getting wet in the nice weather isn't a big deal.
4.) Southern Sun-yes most of these places will probably involve some element of eating but this place is super fun and a good place to sit outside and drink a homemade brew. Yes it is in Boulder but hey that is close enough.
3.) Take mountain walks. This could involve walking around Lake Estes, or Lilly Lake or something of the sort. But when the weather is nice it is fun to walk in such a beautiful location and look at the mountains.
2.) Chataqua Park, also located in Boulder. You can sit outside, go for short hikes/walks or eat at the restaurant there or catch a show. I saw the Indigo Girls and The Ditty Bops and it was a good time for sure. Except you can't drink except int he beer garden and it is super expensive.
1.) Oh gosh-I am going to say hike/walk to the Beaver Ponds at the YMCA. I did this in winter and it was cold and I couldn't see shit so I am hoping as the snow melts the potential of actually seeing a beaver is going to increase. Mmmm...beaver....This is actually really entertaining when you are walking with a former YMCA outdoor education instructor who knows everything about the area from teaching it so many times. "Hey Kathryn look at those rocks, those are blah blah blah blah. Hey Kathryn smell this tree-it smells like vanilla doesn't it?" "Fuck no it doesn't smell like vanilla and it is effing cold out here..." anyway...beaver ponds=good times...
