When I was at A&M I was privileged to hear the Star of Bethlehem presentation twice. It is by a guy who has found and presents scientific proof for all aspects about the Star of Bethlehem. It's very interesting and great information to share with others. I would type out the main facts of the presentation, but I don't have them with me. Maybe I'll do that next week. The website is http://www.bethlehemstar.net/. It requires alot of reading but it is so great. If you have time, I really recommend reading it. They also sell a DVD which shows all of the information he tells but with great animations too. This is a trailer for the DVD and shows an overview of the info he shares: http://thestarofbethlehemmovie.com

Yeah, I didn't make it very long without posting because I found this awesome thing I had to share with you fellow Losties. ABC is posting clips called "Missing Pieces" each Monday on their website. There are 6 so far out of 13. The ones so far fit somewhere into the stories in seasons 2 and 3. It's showing other people's perspectives from things that have happened. Like The Others when they had Walt and Hurley before the picnic he was supposed to have with Libby. They're all pretty good. I think the first one is the best though. Check them out. And again, don't watch them if you haven't seen season 3.

I hosted a Polar Express Party at the house I work at on Wednesday for the girls in my Sunday School class whose kids are old enough to sit through at least part of a movie. Amber said I needed to post the pictures, so here they are...

There were a bunch of cars in the driveway. I tried to put the two pictures together but they weren't quite the same color.

The Spread: Lots of Hot Chocolate with homemade cookies. Mmmm.

Watching the movie in the kids' playroom.

The boys were relaxing in the front row.

Lots of moms and kids.

Enjoying the movie.

Sorry I didn't get more pictures. People who were there, if you want to send me pictures I'd like to have them. Thanks!

Working for a purpose just got way easier today. I have this awesome thing I want to buy:

But then Jon's great-grandmother (who, by the way, I JUST found out existed) sent us a check for $100 for Christmas. That's $50 for me! Plus the family I work for gave me the rest of my Christmas present (to go along with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets): $250! I'm now suddenly almost half way there!


The website for Canon says the suggested retail price is $600 but I haven't seen it for less than $700. With taxes and other things I'll need to go with it such as camera bag, memory card, etc. I expect that it will be about $900. Keep watching over on the side for how much I've made. It will make a big leap again next week after I get my Christmas money. Looks like I'll be getting it a little earlier than June! Yay!

In case you didn't know, I love LOST. There has been a trailer, which is pretty exciting, in the theaters for a few weeks:

"I have lots of hearts all over my body. I felt one of them in my arm one time."

To me: "You're not a teenager because teenagers listen to music and wear braces."

After reading a story about a girl and her cat who was her friend...
Me: "Is your pet your friend?"
Kid: "No, my dog beats me up!"

"My mom was a naughty nurse for Halloween!"

Reading the story "Who Lives in the Arctic?":
"Polar bears also live in the Arkansas."

"If we have a mud fight and I get that jersey dirty, my dad will kill me for my whole life!"

I don't know many people that are still watching Survivor, but apparently they are because they said on the finale it was still the most watched show in the 7:00 hour. I liked James and was sorry that he didn't make it until the end. I figured Todd was going to win, but really hoped Amanda would because she was so cute and nice. I couldn't stand Courtney, and this is a reason why...

She was very rude about Denise and saying that she didn't deserve to win just because she sucks at life. Jeff began to ask her about it and this is what happened.

You know those almost pornographic shopping bags that you see being carried around malls? Abercrombie and Fitch. I have never been nor ever will go in that store. "Uh, no, the music is too loud in there." (Bonus points if anyone can tell me where that came from.) I was with D at the mall the other day to see Santa and RIGHT BY Santa's castle is the A&F with an almost naked boy standing in the doorway. Open shirt, pants unbuttoned hanging below his tighty whities. Right by Santa. I couldn't come up with a way to get a picture without them seeing me because I wasn't taking the picture for the same reason all of the teenagers were. I was back there today when there were now TWO almost naked boys in the doorway and figured out I could get an ok shot of them from upstairs. Notice the top of Santa's castle in the bottom of the pictures. You can see the guy on the left better in the first picture and the guy on the right better in the second one.


Does anyone else see this as inappropriate and are there other malls across America doing this same horrible thing? Please let me know.

I did lots of Christmas shopping today. I was all over town. When I'm driving and when I'm walking through parking lots I can't help but look at people's license plates. Sometimes I see funny ones and of course I take a picture. I saw a kind of random one when I was at Bed Bath and Beyond today, but didn't really feel like stopping and taking a picture. I went to a bunch more stores and went to my last stop, JC Penney. That SAME CAR was there! So I HAD to take a picture this time:

And in case you were wondering "Look up where?" the guy with the answer to that question was parked in my apartment complex parking lot when I got home tonight. Seriously.

My extreme love and knowledge of Christmas songs, that's what. More on that later, though.

I had a pretty crazy fun day. I took D with me to the Scholastic Warehouse Book Sale today where all of the books were half price. I got some pretty cute winter books and other first to second grade level books as well as a free dessert cookbook since I got $10 off of my $50.

Then D's dad called me and invited us to go to his office Christmas party. So we did that for 3 hours. Kinda weird. We had a huge amount of awesome food though and then watched them do white elephant gift exchange and give awards for the year's accomplishments. Lots of jokes that I didn't get.

Tonight we had our Sunday School Christmas party. It was crazy fun...

First, we decorated people up like reindeer:

Then we did the Christmas Singing Bee. They played parts of songs and then we wrote down the next lyrics after they stopped the music. I (and the lovely Kristen Nelson) totally dominated on this game. I LOVE Christmas music and listen to it as much as possible from Thanksgiving until Christmas. I also learn songs very quickly, so I pretty much know all of them. We both got 9 out of the 12 songs right. (I couldn't get Santa Baby because I couldn't remember which verse came next. I didn't get What Are You New Year's Eve because I've never heard it. I didn't get Merry Christmas Darling because I don't know it well.)

Then we did the dirty santa ornament exchange which was out of control.

Someone brought this crazy ugly bird thing. The person who got it wasn't so thrilled.

Then our director, sitting right by her, also got a crazy ugly bird thing. (They are both holding them in their right hands.)

Apparently this ornament is now a tradition of our class' ornament exchange. This guy, Nathan, gave it to someone last year, then they brought this year. Very funny.

This guy actually stole one of the birds because "it's the closest to a pet that she'll let me get."

Then we tried to take a class picture...

One time a camera fell off the pyramid of cameras on timers and everyone reacted. Also, Nathan picked that camera up and tried to catch everyone before the fallen camera went off.
Another time my camera's timer button didn't get pushed and it took it before everyone was ready.

We did get one good picture!

Jon got the very last number in the ornament exchange, so I had him pick this Santa bell for me.

And, finally to the subject of the blog... Because I co-won the Christmas Singing Bee, I got to pick the last ornament. There weren't many that I liked because I'm not a big fan of balls and that's what most people brought. So I got this silver snowflake.

And to end the day, we got home tonight and the thing I've now been waiting WEEKS to arrive finally came. I bought a brand new copy of the Christmas Classics DVD on Amazon (two weeks ago) under the used section for $7 cheaper than in stores. I thought it had been stolen off of our porch since that's where the mail guy leaves them if it won't fit in the mail box. But then it showed up. Yay! 7 movies plus a music CD!

"I'm not done yet and my thumb hurts real bad!"

"Blood tastes like cupcakes with rotten eggs on them."

(I ususally listen to KSBJ, the Christian radio station in Houston, on my computer during my conference period and often forget to turn it off before they come back in. Today I did that exact thing and got the following question...)
"Is that your favorite rock CD?"

Kid: Other Kid said two potty words!
Me: What did she say?
Kid: The yellow one and the brown one!

While reading outloud to the class, I had to stop and tell them to get quiet about a million times. I said "I'm never going to be able to finish this book!" and I got the response:
"Have faith in yourself!"

Ok. That last poll was boring. The winner was obviously visiting family as the favorite thing about Christmas. Second was Christmas cookies. And I agree, those are the two best (secular) things about Christmas. Alright. This new poll is one I was going to wait to do but I can't wait any longer. Who are you people? Please tell me. I don't know how I could have this many people visiting each day. If you click "other" then please explain. If you haven't commented before, maybe tell me who you are? Love y'all. You keep me on my toes.

Kid: What's a nintendo?

So this one girl did one of her worksheets completely wrong so I was explaining what she was supposed to do. After I was done...
"Wow! That's not even CLOSE to what I did!"

"I'll give you all the money I have to not send home that note!"

Kid: How much does it cost to have a wedding?
Me: It depends on how big it is. It's several thousand dollars usually.
Kid: Well who pays for it?
Me: Mostly the bride's parents.
Kid: You have to help right? Like you need to start saving money.
Me: Yes I do.
Kid: Well I need to save money for college. My parents are going to give me $8 for college.
Me: And you have to save the rest?
Kid: Yeah! Can you give me $129 for college?
Me: Is that how much college costs?
Kid: Yeah. Maybe it costs even $1000!

"I wanted to have Mrs. Nicholson, but then I realized that you're better."

"What's fun about school is that you get a new teacher every year."

After school, walking by the room hearing me talking outloud to myself: "Why don't you just say it inside your brain?"

Kid: I need to go to the bathroom.
Me: Ok, I want you to ASK permission.
Kid: Oh ok. I need to go to the bathroom. I need to go number one.

Lightning is NOT awesome. I'm super scared of it. And this is why. The next door neighbors of the family I work for had their house struck by freakin' lightning last night. It shook the ground in both houses, singed the hair on the arm of the guy who lives in the house, knocked out the internet, computer, and security system of "my" family, not to mention whatever was damaged in the house that was actually hit. The damage to the house itself doesn't seem to be very bad, and luckily it didn't catch on fire, but it sure did damage in its vicinity.

This is a piece of the roof that flew pretty far from the house.

Then a few different angles on the same thing. I couldn't get too close to their house without being in their yard:

For those of you who don't know, we are about halfway through Hannukah right now. I saw this guy driving around Little Rock the other day and was upset I couldn't get a picture of his car. You don't know how thrilled I was to see him again this afternoon, this time pulling into the bank parking lot in front of me. He has the menorah on top of his car that he turns on an additional bulb each day. They also stay lit while the car is off because this is a picture of the car parked while he was inside the bank.

I don't know if Chabad is the guy's name or what, but he seemed to be an Orthodox Jew perhaps? (Sorry if I have this totally wrong.) He was dressed in the black suit with the black hat and full beard. There don't seem to be many of those guys around here, so it was pretty cool to see. Way to celebrate the season, guy whose name is possibly Chabad!

Tonight, on the evening of the 300th episode of ER, I want to offer up a little poem I wrote to honor the show. First a disclaimer that this is probably the worst poem I've ever written. I was trying to put all of those names in there and it just didn't work well. Nobody's name is rhymable! I've been watching the show from its beginning in 1994. I wasn't a regular watcher at the very beginning, but I'd say I've probably seen 275 out of the 300 episodes. So here we go. My pretty bad Ode to ER.

Lily, Malik, Haleh, and Pickman will stay in my heart

Since they’ve been on ER from the very start.

I guess I’ll count Chuny, Olbes, and Shirley too,

But they didn’t start until season two.

“Who are Pickman and Olbes?” you may say.

The same paramedics that are there each day.

I’ve watched ER now for 14 years,

But when I think of who’s left I shed a tear.

I loved the old days of Peter and Carter,

Mark and Elizabeth, Carol and Doug

There were some people I never liked though.

They always found a way to bug:

Malucci and Lucy, and Kovac even

And Jing-Me (who was Deb in the very first season.)

There have been people who have been on the show

Who are now famous but not all know.

Jorja Fox, Khandi Alexander,

Maria Bello, and Mariska Hargitay

Elizabeth Mitchell, Tom Everett Scott,

And William H. Macy weren’t here to stay.

Many got their start on our show,

But have found now higher places to go.

When I was 13 in 1994,

I watched the pilot as Carol came through the door.

And in the first few years I didn’t keep the streak,

I watched it alot, but not every week.

Around season 4, I watched every time

Was in front of the TV at the nine o’clock chime.

I’ve barely missed an episode since then,

Even when it got bad after season ten.

But even with it getting better again

I’m really ready for the show to end.

Over half my life I’ve watched this show

And I think it’s now time for it to go.

It’s been a good time and I’ve enjoyed it all,

But something new can come next fall.

I know you've been waiting with bated breath since 1:10am to hear what great thing I've come up with to post. Well, I was a teacher for four years and wrote down as many of the funny things that the kids said that I could remember each day. Shevawn said that she missed the kids quotes, and I know that some of you have seen these all before. But seeing them again is always funny (I know. I still laugh every time I read them.) and I know a bunch of you haven't ever seen them. So I will be giving them to you in installments of 20. This should last a while. I will be starting with my first year of teaching (2003-2004) when I had an amazing group of 1st graders. They were my favorite class I had while teaching. Here are the little (mostly) angels:

I'll start with some of the jokes they told and then move right into the quotes. Enjoy!

Me starting to tell my class they're not going to have a spelling test next week...

Me: "I have a surprise for you! Next week I'm..."

Interrupting Kid: "...getting married?

Nosy Kid: "Miss Hartman why aren't you married?"

Me: "Well I haven't found someone who wants to marry me yet."

Encouraging Kid: "Don't worry Miss Hartman. Boys really do dig girls."

"When you get married, can I be your ring burier?"

"Have you ever kissed someone that isn't your mom or dad?"

"When you get married, you're not going to be Miss Hartman anymore. Are you going to get married this year?" (By the way, that would be no. I think Jon and I had maybe just started dating at that point.)

With the concern upon me about entertaining the masses (or at least dozen) I have thought of something that you all will enjoy that I can start posting regularly that will last a while. Check back soon for the first installment. Get your hopes up. It's gonna be great.

By the way, see my posting time? ↓ Ridiculous. I really need to start going to bed earlier. Since I get up at 6:00.

Now that I have a group of regular visitors, I'm feeling obligated to post something regularly. One of you told me tonight that you enjoy my page since I'm on it every day. Every day?! I don't think I can keep up! I remembered I didn't post up the funny Thanksgiving pictures. So here they are. Thanksgiving in Fort Worth with my fam, starting with the montage of Jack wanting some food:

Wanting some of the bread my mom was tearing up for the dressing.

Wanting some of the cinnamon muffin batter.

Wanting some of the brownie batter (or whatever she was mixing). Greedy dog.

My mom was pre-carving the turkey and found the wishbone, so she and my brother decided to play.

They have pieces of paper towel wrapped around it because it was slippery.

My mom (who can't keep her eyes open when a camera flashes) won.

Josh was sad and was consoled by his girlfriend. But luckily my mom wished for the same thing as he did: a new place for him to live and this week it happened! Yay!

We had super weird Thanksgiving In The Living Room this year because my mom didn't want to cram 9 people into her small dining room. It worked pretty well.

The boys (and Grammy too apparently) didn't even wait for the table to be moved out of the living room to turn on the football. You see Jon had already changed into his Cowboys shirt.
