Well, I have finished my first quilt that someone has paid for! It is also the largest quilt I have done so far, a twin size. I hated parting with it actually.

Can you?
I get some crazy questions as a teacher. I can't always remember them. Yesterday I got one that I don't think I will forget for a while. It came from one of my 7th graders, a boy, either 12 or 13 years old (That will help the question out a little bit.) "Mrs. Bell, can you fart, pee, and burp at the same time?" Yes, you read that correctly. Now some would be offended at such a question. I, however, am not. I consider it a compliment that he would even ask. It means my students feel comfortable enough to ask me anything. It does make me wonder what is really going on in a middle school boy's head on a regular basis. When they look deep in thought are they contemplating a math problem or how something works... or are they wondering about the age old questions concerning bodily functions?
For those of you wondering my answer (if you weren't then don't read), I told him that I didn't know but I would try. I can burp on command, but the other two I can't do on command. So if I am ever in the situation where the first 2 are occurring, I'll try to burp. This, of course, made me the coolest teacher here.... hands down!
So.... can you?

It's over
Well, I might as well blog about it, Jeremy and I are done. FOR-EV-ER. I feel very safe in saying that. Last night was miserable. Today is better, except there is no good immediate cure for puffy eyes. I am sure I will see him, we are on the same soccer team and I am NOT quitting it because of him. If he quits, fine, but I doubt he will.
I realized that a lot of the people I know here are through him. I am very grateful to all my friends up in Fairfax that I talked to last night. I wish I could just move you down here!
I promise not to be all depressed for too long :). I have a lot of opportunities now that I felt guilty doing before. It'll be different but it'll be good.
That's the news with me right now. Not very happy news but the news.
