A Bouquet of Newly Sharpened Pencils

Fauf has some favorite things right now...

Bruschetta: I've been craving lots of bruschetta on bread--especially when it's made from our fresh produce growing in our back yard!

Three Musketeers: Just finished the book--best ever! And now I'm on this kick of renting the movies. Starting with a 1940s version with Gene Kelley, Angela Lansbury and Lana Turner!

Special Ed kids: I have one special ed class I'm teaching. They say the funniest things ("My favorite movies are romances) and they do the sweetest things (tie each others' shoes)--keep in mind they're 5th-6th graders!

Sherlock Academy website: It's been fun creating a site and sharing it with others. Even more fun is watching God connect me with the right people to promote my book--can't wait to see where He takes it!

Purple: this season deep purple is drawing my eye. (I go through color trends that attract me--last year was mustard yellow and the year before grassy green). As I shop, I'm noticing purple is the in-color and I'm digging it!

Holidays: I'm getting excited thinking and planning ahead for the great holidays coming--Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! And let's not forget about Autumn, just around the corner! Hooray!

I Love to Laugh

I love laughing. It's great for the soul and supposedly burns calories. I've been laughing alot lately. Here are some things that make me laugh...

My hubby and his friends..

..."Dici-ocho!"

My sis and her ridiculousness...

..."Sine-su-baji!"

Our double-dating partners...

..."She's having a hard time in life, what with illness and losing a loved one."

My book and its personality...

..."Is there anyone here named Herbie Z. Frecklebottom?"

Project Runway's most outlandish character yet: Headda Lettuce...

..."Do you think...you and I...right here...right now...can agree...to let it go..."
