Complements

I receive many complements about my outfits, but sometime I have to wonder if it is really worth it.  You see there are three groups of people who complement my clothes: first graders, middle students, and teachers.  But here in lies my problem, although I receive complements from these various groups of people, I never receive them on the same day.

For example, my first graders are little fashionistas – even the boys.  One day I had on a new watch and they were all complementing it.  They have complemented my skirts, and even my rain boots.

On other days, some of the teachers will complement my outfit.

Then there is middle school.  From them I get complements on my make-up, and I think to myself “Self, do I really want complements on my make-up from junior high students?”

So I find myself in a predicament.  I must admit that I like to receive complements, but I never receive these complements on the same day.  I must have extremes in my wardrobe.  One day it will be by first graders, another by the teacher, and then another day from the middle schoolers.  I have decided that I must have several nice outfits because I am getting complements  I just wish that they would happen on the same day.

I’m Moving… not!

So I’ve been mulling over my next post for a while.  I have finally concluded on what to write about it.

I almost moved to Hawaii on February 12.  I had a job opportunity that was going to take me to Hawaii.  Well, it obviously wasn’t God’s will.  I am still here in California, but I might move there this summer… we’ll see.

November!!

I love November!!  Of the twelve months in the year, November has to be my favorite.  The following is a list of why I love November so much:

1. November has the perfect weather.  I get the perfect combo of warm Indian summer days, crisp cool days, and wet rainy days.
2. My birthday is in November.
3. November is the beginning of the holiday season.
4. I can begin listening to my Christmas music.
5. Day after Thanksgiving I get to go shopping at all hours of the day!
6. I can watch Christmas movies.
7. I can decorate the house for Christmas.
8. I get to exercise my right to vote.
9. And last but definitely not least – GIANTS WON THE WORLD SERIES IN NOVEMBER!!!!

That is all that I can think of now, but if more comes to mind I will let you know.

World Series!!

I’m in love with the SF Giants!!

While growing up my brothers has baseball on a lot, and frankly, I thought it was boring to watch on TV.  Don’t get me wrong; I love to play baseball.  I also love to be in the stands and watching it, but listening to it on the radio and watching it on TV just doesn’t capture my interest.  Well that was the case, until the past few weeks.

I have been following the Giants all season by way of twitter.  I like this cause it keeps me updated without having to watch/listen to the games.  As the season drew closer to playoffs I began to pay much closer attention to the games.  I now find that I have to watch and/or listen to the games.  This is so exciting!

But then there is the downside.  I don’t get why people have to be disrespectful.  I read an article that said the Giants don’t deserve to win because we aren’t “regular Joes,” our mayor’s name is Gavin Newsom which apparently is too refined, and blah blah blah blah blah… you get the picture.  Seriously!  This is baseball we are talking about!  It has nothing to do with politics.  Who cares if Nancy Pelosi is from SF?!   If you have to say stupid things like that I don’t think that you are a true fan of baseball.  In my opinion, true fans are respectful of both teams.  I know I’m biased and want the Giants to win the World Series, but I’m not going to be disrespectful of the Rangers (and their fans) to do it.  If you don’t like the Giants, please just be respectful and keep your mouth shut.  In turn, I will return the favor when you start talking about the Rangers, Lakers, Raiders, Chargers, etc.
