Have you heard Ryan Adam's cover of Taylor Swift's 1989 album? It is FANtastic, and perfect background music when I'm working in my classroom. It's moody and beautiful and classic Ryan, just singing about cherry lips and crystal skies.
I am LOVING that my lil' 11-year old beagle, Napoleon, is HEALTHY again! We had a scare a couple of weeks ago, but after some tests, it turned out he just had giardia. Yup. Giardia. Who knew dogs could get giardia?!? I thought is was just people who didn't boil their water when camping... No more drinking out of dirty puddles, please, Napoleon...
I'm thinking about PIRATES for a couple of reasons. One, I finally bought the book Teach Like a Pirate, which is all about increasing student engagement and motivation. Anybody out there read it? Second, my friends are flying to DISNEYLAND in a few weeks for a girls weekend. Disneyland makes me so happy, happy, HAPPY, but I just gotta see if I can work it out with my finances (especially considering I just found out the TPT conference next summer is LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF DISNEYWORLD!!! AHHHHHHHH!!! SO AWESOME!!!).
I'm needing to clean the house and fold clothes. Blah. Don't have anything more to say about that.
Finally, I have been trying out Blue Apron meals for a little while now, and last night's Korean Spicy Chicken wings were Ah-MAZE-ing!! Wish I had some leftovers to eat right now...
That's all for now, folks. Happy Sunday!!!

OK, you have me wanting to hear Ryan Adams now. I'm gonna find the album and take a listen. Your beagle Napoleon is ADORABLE. I'm glad he is feeling better. I haven't read the book Teach Like a Pirate, but it sounds worth checking out. Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteSo happy your little furbaby is feeling better! I have 2 myself and I know what it's like when they aren't feeling well. Teach Like a Pirate is on my list to read this year, hope you like it!

I do Blue Apron too! We just do it every other week, but I always look forward to cooking with my husband.

This is the BEST blog name I have ever seen. Captain Plan-it. A combination of a good pun and excellent 90s programming.
