Okay. So I'm not a big Twilight fan. I kind of wish I were because I know so many people who are insane for the books (the same way I was once insane for HP, so I'm not judging anyone here, I'm just saying-- some fans are insane), and sometimes I feel like I'm the only one missing out on a really great party, but whatever. I've tried, but the books just don't do it for me. Having said that, though, I find myself most intrigued by the movie. The stills, the trailer, the interviews. I admit, they've definitely got my attention. So maybe if I'm not into the books, I can still get into the movies. Even Kristen is excited about it, and she was so bitterly disappointed when Gaspard was not cast as Edward. Yay for possibilities... I saw Iron Man this weekend...and I liked it. I wasn't that excited about it when I saw the previews, so I wasn't rushing to the theater or anything for it, but Lonnie took the boys to see it on Saturday and absolutely loved it. They all came home saying it was the best superhero movie they'd ever seen. Better than Batman Begins, better the Spiderman (which I loved), better than anything they could think of to compare it to. Well, if it was that good, I had to see it too, right? So I went on Sunday evening. More under the cut. Not spoilery per se; just a review really... Tags: iron man, movies, reviews

For the last two years, I've been a teacher for a youth group at my church, girls, ages 12-13. When I was first asked to teach them, I was completely intimated. Some people seem to have a really natural way with young people this age and some just don't. I'm part of the second group. This morning, I was released from my teaching position, and I cannot stop crying about it. It didn't come as a huge surprise to me. They usually get new teachers every couple of years so no one gets burned out, and I knew my time was coming to an end. It's just I didn't expect to love my class as much as I do. I was so obnoxious at that age, I was half afraid I wouldn't even like the girls. But seriously, I adore them! My teaching partner and I had to tell the girls today it would be our last day as their teachers, which made me cry again, especially when they started crying too. I've given myself a headache. It's not like I'm never going to see them after this. I just got so attached to them, and I'm bummed I won't be teaching them anymore. Tags: sad, yw

We've had one snow storm after another in my part of the world since December. Superbowl weekend, it was so bad, some of the schools actually called a snow day, which is significant because we almost never have snow days; we get snow all the time. For the last two days, the sun has been teasing me with its warm, shiny presence. Yesterday and the day before, it was blue skies and a balmy 50 degrees. The snow was actually melting away--kind of like that "winter is ending" scene in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. It actually had me thinking of Spring. And then what happens as of 3:00 this afternoon? Yet another winter storm warning. It's a gale outside my window today. The weatherman predicts another 8 inches of winter wonderland by this evening. *sigh* I like snow as much as the next person who doesn't ski, but honestly. Let's wrap it up already. *grumbles* Tags: ramblings, winter weather
