You've Got Mail

I've changed my e-mail address. You can now reach me at sopko.amanda@gmail.com.

My Kent account still works (it's been mine for so long and I'm a little partial to it, besides, I don't feel like sending out a mass e-mail to everyone I know) and will be forwarded to my new account so use whichever. I have not gotten around to setting up my outlook on my new laptop so my Kent mail was always overflowing. With gmail, I don't have to set outlook up because it has a program that will work the same on my desktop with less crap to deal with when setting it up.

So give it a try, shoot me and e-mail. :-)

Just for Fun

OK, some of you may have noticed that I have become obsessed with my geeky math flair on facebook. In an attempt to obtain some real buttons to wear in school (while still avoiding the stereotypical "teacher pin"), I searched the web for flair. Shockingly, I found it!

My goal was to find a great piece for each unit I teach... and maybe a t-shirt or two to wear on Fridays (spirit day - teachers can dress down) AKA math test days!

In my obsessive searching, I was unable to find a few of my favorites. Fortunate for me, you can create your own flair!!!!!!! You can also post it for others to purchase. Here are a few I made:

I know I will not make a penny off my nerdy flair, but it was fun to make and if I do make $0.70 here or there, that will be fun too! I can still tell everyone that I run an internet business. Look out for more in the future! Give it a try... you know, just for fun! :-) (Tee Hee)

Friends

Jaime stopped by with her adorable kids!

















It was so nice to have Ohio friends around. Those are the people I KNOW will be in our lives for many years to come, despite the geographical distance between us. Her visit also made me realize how precious even a brief time with good friends means to me. We love our southern life but really miss being able to stop in and see our loved ones without having to rearrange work schedules, buy plane tickets or prepare cars, and figure out what to do with the kids (dogs).

Thank you Jaime for taking the time out of your busy trip to stop by. Can't wait for you to come again! Love you and miss you!!!!!!

As for everyone else, please stop by! As is a southern custom, our door is always open... unless we aren't home. (We aren't official southerners yet!) :-)

Hair Cut

I got my hair chopped off today. I wanted to send my ponytail to Locks of Love, but they would not be able to use it with the bleached highlights. Oh well. Here's what it looks like.

It's called an Inverted Bob which means it is shorter in the back than the front. I think I will go even shorter in the back next time. I'm actually thinking of going back soon to get it done.

I took the picture in a mirror since no one else was home. Here it is:

Vacation is Over

We are back from our Florida/Bahamas Anniversary Vacation. It is hard to believe that we have been married a year aready!!!! Check out our pictures on flickr. We are in the process of downloading the rest of them and they should all be up by tonight.

What a DORK!

We have been lax with some of the rules of the house lately since the whole place was under 2 inches of dust. Jovie began taking her cookies on the couch to eat them. As a result, there was crusy cookie drool all over the coushions. Before the party this weekend, we spent a long time cleaning cookie drool the furnature and made a new house rule. NO EATTING COOKIES ON THE COUCH OR SNUGGLER. Jovie does not like the new rule and seems to have forgotten how to eat cookies on the floor. This morning she ate her greenie standing on two legs attempting to get onto the couch as I continuously pushed her off. This afternoon, she would not eat her cookie and walked around confused as to why we would give her a cookie that she clearly could not eat on the floor. In the end, Sadie grabbed half of the cookie and Jovie finally ate the remainder on the floor. Luckily, I caught the confusion on video. All I have to say is What a DORK!
