Wonderful Day!

I got to go with my mom to a local mall today. Before we went to the mall we stopped at my college which is on the way so I could pick up my masters diploma. I officially have a masters degree in science for teaching! At the mall we hit the usual stores: Sanrio, Bare Minerals, Lane Bryant, Nordstroms, and Torrid. I had to stop after almost every store because of the pain in my knee. However, I surprised myself, I was able to get on the down elevator without a big issue. It hurt getting on, but I didn't feel like I was going to fall over or anything. I got a new casual/work black skirt. I'm having to wear skirts and dresses or very loose pant while I'm wearing my brace. When work starts again next week that won't be too difficult as most of my work clothes are skirts and dresses, but right now it's a pain if I go anywhere. I've been wearing the same jean skirt over and over. I have another jean skirt, but I need to wear leggings with it and that with the brace would be too hot! I also got two dressier shirts and a casual one. That plus the dress I ordered from Pyramid Collection will give me enough new looks with the old stuff I already have. I also was able to get the dress in a size smaller! I've lost 11 lbs. in a little over 2 months. I picked up some new eyeshadow and liner at Bare Minerals. I'm going to try the solid eyeshadow and see how it compares to the loose powder shadow. I bought new pens and pencils for the school year at Sanrio. I can't believe how expensive their stuff is getting...but I will still buy it because the pens are cute and last forever. At Nordstrom I got an Amazing Grace gift set. It had the 30 oz lotion and shower gel, plus the body mist. I only use Amazing Grace because it is one thing that doesn't bother my allergies. The Philosophy lotion feels amazing and actually works! We ate at Ruby's. I love their food! Overall it was a really great day.

Prayers for Japan

Image
Dear Readers, There is so much to pray for in Japan that it is overwhelming, but these seem to be the things that are sticking out:      Pray for the 50 workers at the nuclear plant.  They are there risking their lives. Pray for the women and children who are spending the night outside in 20 degree weather with little to protect them from the elements. Pray that it isn't true that the 4th reactor has no water...this can make a bad situation even worse. Pray for the missing and those who have missing friends and relatives that they are found safe and sound. Pray that the weather clears up so the relief helicopters can get into Sendai to give the people much needed supplies and food. Blessings upon you, Jenn

Beginning of Unlikely Disciple

I'm going to be writing a book about my husband Nick, called Unlikely Disciple. This is the start of this book: It was around noon on December 2, 2015. I was in the middle of reading a book about rocks to my second grade class when I must’ve felt the vibration from my pocket. I took out my phone and saw a message that there had been a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California near Waterman Ave and that there had been at least 2 causalties. As soon as I saw the message, from a local tv station, I knew that my husband, Nicholas Thalasinos had been killed. After I finished the chapter I was reading I gave them a math assignment they could do on their own. I began trying to reach my husband first by text on his iphone and then by text on his work phone. I kept waiting for the asterisks indicating he was responding to my message, but nothing. It was silent. I tried calling both phones as well with no answer. In the middle of this more information was coming in both by KT...

Winding Down the Summer

Well I go back to work on Momday. Yesterday I spent several hours rearranging stuff and unpacking. My honey put up my bulletin boards even with being sick with bronchitis...poor honey. I've got a polka dot theme going...maybe I should call it polka dot Afro! Tonight I started downloading all the ieps so I can give them to the teachers on Monday. Sometime this weekend I have to make my vegan blueberry muffins for the staff breakfast. Today I got stuff for lunches...that's when it really hit that school is starting next week. Not that I mind. I wish we still had 3 months on, 1 month off...two months off makes me far more lazy than I should be and I'm ready to go back by about the 6th week!
