As Billie Holiday reminded us half a century ago:

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says,
and it still is news.

Bush leaves the White House!

I wish I could've been on the mall in Washington, D.C. this morning to watch Barack Obama be sworn in as our 44th president. But, I still got chills just watching it on my lap top at school. I'm so amazed by him, and I'm looking forward to the next eight years:)

Make My Day

One of the things on my to do list today was to schedule a videographer for our performance on 2/9, but I was apprehensive, because I don't have a lot of money in our school budget to pay for these types of services. So, David from Yuma Video called be back rather promptly, and he said that he wouldn't charge us to film our show. And, to top it off, he said that the DVDs will only cost my students &10 each! Isn't that AMAZING?!? Well, to say the least, he made my day!!!

Actually, today has been a great day so far, which is another reason I love Sundays! Chris and I woke up, ate breakfast and went on a walk. Then, Curtis came over (he's still here) and John's here, and we're grilling carne asada. It's going to be delicious. This is just what I needed before the school week starts:)

Each January

I look forward to choosing a new calendar for the year. Chris and I are fortunate enough not to have to go out and purchase a calendar, because we get several sent to us throughout the course of the year. In late 2008, we received calendars from National Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, Arbor Day Foundation, and El Paso Natural Gas. Of these agencies, we only donated to ADF. I've chosen to display The Nature Conservancy calendar in our office, because the photos it contains were taken by real people who just happened to win a contest. And, they're absolutely breathtaking displays of Mother Earth. So, it you're in need of a 2009 calendar, I've got three up for grabs!
