Old Navy Sweater Song

Sometimes I get really sick of the same old junk on the radio. I remember my father telling me that people thought Karen Carpenter had the purest voice ever. I keep looking for new Karen Carpenters. I love it when I hear that greatness like in the late Eva Cassidy whose "Songbird" makes me wanna cry everytime I hear it. (You may remember it from Laura Linny's love scene in "Love Actually")

Anyway, I love this song. You may have heard it in the Old Navy Sweater commercial.
It is by a lady named Ingrid Michaelson. Enjoy!

Blogging Beyond the Fad

I have decided to keep blogging though the widespread popularity came and went like Sanjaya Malakar. I don't care so much if you want to read my thoughts but I realized lately that blogging has been my most consistant journal in the past few years.

I am a teacher. Have I mentioned this? I feel like I have found my calling. I love it so much. I teach at a Private Christian school that is bursting with character. The kids are so bright! They will all succeed in life because of the education they are getting here and more than that, because of the amazing families they come from.

I teach science. I never thought I would use all of those classes from my Nursing major days but I am . I remember specifically crying that I had suffered through Anatomy at OU (the class where 60% were returning after failing the previous semester) and gettting an amazing C (almost B) and then changing majors.

Now I am teaching Anatomy, Biology and Earth Science and I love it! I see Science everywhere and am constantly looking for cool resources. Mythbusters are my heroes. Life is sweet.

Life is just so incredibly different than I thought it would be...this season of life is quite an adjustment and I miss my friends and family terribly.

Hmmm. Comment if you ever read this!
