I guess this is like a public diary


I started my day today with the Fleet foxes- ragged wood. if you havenʻt heard this song, it is perfect for frolicking. I plan on using it someday.


Then I went to school, but not to learn. oh no, I went to WORK at a school. which school you may ask? It is none other than good old Mililani Middle. (which got itʻs first case of confirmed swine flu today.) Iʻve joined the ranks at the institution for our adolescents as a substitute educational assistant. Iʻve run into a couple of my old teachers that I havenʻt seen since I was in eighth grade and when they first look at me they just kind of stare for a second and then shout, "oh its you!" they donʻt really remember my name.
Basically, what I do is monitor the kids who are in special ed in their regular classes. So on my first day, they couldnʻt really figure out who this lady was who knew all their names and was coming around checking their work. When they ask who I am I just respond, "Iʻm a subsitute E.A." and of course they have no idea what that is so I have to say, "oh Iʻm a substitute educational assistant," which pretty much just sounds like Iʻm trying to sound more important than I really am. So I deal with the eighth graders who swear at me and pretend to head butt me. (long story) tomorrow Iʻll be with the fully self contained kids. (down syndrome, etc.)
Heaven help our middle school teachers.

Ryan and I were going to go to a Israeli martial arts class with a couple in our ward, (they like us) but it got cancelled. Apparently, the fighting style is that you just get really angry for about 8 seconds and then unleash your rage on the person. I was really excited about it.


I just got done watching the movie Penelope. I thought it was going to be kinda stupid, but it turned out to be utterly magical. James Mackavoy is the leading man. Although not your stereotypical gorgeous leading man, I really like him as an actor and have fallen slightly for him. if you like pigs and james mackavoy, watch it.


also Iʻd like your opinion on this jacket. I need one for provo and although I was planning on buying that stuff there, I just think this one is super cute and a steal at $32. The black only comes in small and i generally wear medium. I think the black looks sophisticated, but Iʻm worried about the size. so black or white, or should I even purchase?

oh and Iʻm in Jessicaʻs pants.

  1. I'm really glad you go to school with me again. For all of those years I went to school with you, and now you are going with me. I need a kleenex.

  2. 1. My friend Erika is currently a substitute teacher and just had a 6 week job subbing for 7th and 8th graders. She thinks that all middle school kids should be shipped to another planet and they can return when they are 16. I thought that was a good idea.
    2. I like the coat, but it doesn't look very warm. I think for an actual winter coat you need something more substantial. Wait and buy one here, you will have a lot more options.

  3. Yes! Kathleen has joined us!

    I love blogs because they make me feel more connected to people. I like hearing peoples thoughts and seeing what types of things they write about. more than just seeing...countless status updates among a stream of hundreds of others.

    I was surprised by Penelope too! I loved it.
    and, of course Fleet Foxes. They are babes. bearded babes.

  4. WELCOME to the blogging world Kathleenie Beanie! I also gave in and I am glad I did. I love seeing what my friends and fam are doing. I think the coat is just darling. I say get it for the Fall and Spring. Maybe you could find it on another site in medium. Please remember what I suggested for you to wear for the first year at BYU...:)

  6. nice pants, sister. I love the jacket. I think you should buy it, 32 isn't bad. Chelsea might be right about being cold, but my advice is layering and snow bunny honeys. That's my two cents.

    Also, that's too bad your martial arts class didn't work out. I was waiting to hear all about it. Guess I'll just kick back and relax til your next post. (get it - kick...?!?)

  7. Kathleen, if you wear that for a year we will be the happiest people on earth at the happiest place on earth when we go to Disneyland next time.
