Proud to be a gLeek!

So, I have a new obsession...Glee! It's my new favorite tv show. I have always been a sucker for musicals, theatre, and what not, and this show is a combination of all things I love. There is something for everybody in this show. There is a gay guy character which seems to be a requirement in my tv commitments (LOL), there is a hot guy or two for me to lust over, and random song and dance numbers...who doesn't love that! I have used this opportunity to start showing my theatre classes the show during our class periods and they also LOVE it. They want to watch it every day. Being the end of the school year, that is ideal for me! We are all burned out on real work anyway, so it's nice to have this show to justify our laziness. So between me and my students, gLee has a large following at Tanner High School-we are official gLeeks! Here are some of my favorite moments so far:

• Kurt singing "Single Ladies" in his bedroom and his dad walking in and catching him prissing like Beyonce in a black leotard!

• Quinn singing "Papa Don't Preach" while babysitting three little monsters. Quinn is a pregnant teenager who has made up her mind, she's keeping her baby! Well, at that point she was!

• The McKinley Glee Club singing and signing"Imagine" with the glee club from the school for the deaf.

• Mr. Schue requring the glee club members to use wheelchairs for a week to make them sympathize with Artie. As a result, they do a number singing "Proud Mary" while in wheelchairs.

• Mr. Schue and the "Accafellas" singing "This Is How We Do It." It took everything in my power not to get up and dane in front of my class when that came on!

So there are a few teasers for the non-gLeeks! Tune in Wednesday nights on Fox for the new episodes. If you are a fan of musicals, you will LOVE this show!

My Feet Say It's Summertime!

Just a few snippets about my life this week:

I got my first pedicure of the season today! YAY! It's been warm enough to wear flip flops for about a week now, but my feet were not quite ready to take the plunge. So today, Jaime, Melanie and I went to "4 Eva Nails" (so classy!) to get our pedis. I can't wait to break out the flip flops tomorrow. Thank goodness I have a boss that allows us to wear them. Rumor has it that the state may change our dress code next year, so I'll have to get all the wear I can this year.

Tomorrow I'm going for my consultation for my LASIK eye surgery. Even though I've been thinking about having the procedure done for a couple of years, I feel like its all happening very quickly. I called this morning thinking it would take a couple of weeks to get me in and to my surprise, it was the next day instead. Wish me luck! So excited but super nervous at the same time.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Happy Easter to all four of my followers :) Just wanted to do a little bullet list of all the exciting things happening this weekend. Updates to follow on Monday!

• My inlaws are visiting from St. Louis this weekend. They have not seen Camden in person since Christmas, and they were itching to head South to see him. I'm so glad they are here to see him during Easter festivities. They miss most holidays so I know they are thrilled to be a part of this one.
• We have an egg hunt with all my friends and their children this weekend. It's supposed to rain this weekend, but only Saturday morning, so I'm hoping we will have great weather for the event. I'm hoping this will be an annual thing! Camden's cousins are older, so it will be great for him to be able to hunt with other children his own age.
• We always spend Easter Sunday at mom's. Our meals are usually odd...we normally have pizza! LOL This happens because my mom is always in Nashville at a church conference Thursday, Friday, and Saturday every Easter weekend, so she does not have time to fix the fancy meals. No matter! We still have an egg hunt and good company...isn't that all that matters?
• Last, but definitely not least, is the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today is Good Friday, and I've never put a lot of thought into the importance of today. How awesome is it to know that on this day a little less than 2,000 years ago He died for us. I will never be able to understand love like that. I would die for my child, but I don't know that I could die for anyone else's. Thank God for His Son and the price They paid for us!

Have a great Easter weekend!!!
