my day job is being awesome

and teaching kids. and really, you need to focus on the awesome as much as possible, or you might throw yourself in front of a train.



hanadi, me, and tereza, after our christmas program. hana teaches the butterflies (ages 3-4), tereza teaches the bunnies (2-3), and i have the lions (4-6) and the afternoon club (grade school).

also, i taught my kids "feliz navidad," and they were all about it. like you wouldn't believe. i'll have to remember that.

because it's christmas and at christmas you tell the truth...

i started watching love actually again, whilst eating sweets and lying under blankets because it's -10 outside. makes me feel better about not going home for christmas. and i remembered this guy:



because i love this scene. but more importantly, because he's the same as this guy:



what?
yes. i am right.

he holds signs declaring unrequited love and fights zombies in an unparalleled display of bad-assery. the only downside to all this is that the walking dead, which is the best new show i've seen this season, just had its season finale. now what is going to force me to irrationally turn on lights when i enter rooms?


so winter is going all right, i guess.
