i am very proud of my granddaughter for this:
Every month, all teacher have the opportunity to nominate one student who exemplifies one of the following anti-bullying themes:
Support others
Think about other student's feelings
Accept that we are all different
Refuse to hurt another student
Friends are there for you every day
Invite others to play with you
Stand up for yourself
Help others in need
She will have her name announced over the morning announcements. She will be recognized during lunch where she will sit at a table with the school counselor, other staff and other nominees. She will be presented with a starfish necklace to wear for the month. She will get a special pizza lunch. She will be in a group picture that will be hung on the school counselor's bulletin board and her name will be on the STARFISH poster in the hallway for the month.
" GOOD JOB SWEETIE ! "
i am also thrilled that her school district has this program!

been messing around on Pinterest . it's like window shopping for my own personal perfect place/stuff!
not too much going on at the moment. this weekend we are supposed to finally start painting the living room and bedroom! i can't wait. yes, it will mean a lot of shoving the furniture back and forth and moving knickknacks and books AND pissing off the pets, but i am so excited! we haven't been able to paint these rooms since we first moved here around 18 years ago! every time we agreed to start, something else came up and needed to be done. cross your fingers, o.k?
btw, my buddy boag came through his back surgery and is home and on the mend!

THERE WAS AN OLD MAN WITH A BEARD

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, "It is just as I feared!—
Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard.
