My Pinterest DISLIKES!

Okay how many of you have seen this image on Pinterest?

Ok. How many of you Pinned this pin?

And how many of you actually went to the actual link to really read about this so called "it really works to keep your salad from browning" comment that some idiot wrote as a caption under it?

Link is HERE

I actually clicked on the link. I was curious. How can a mason jar really keep salad from browning?

News flash. IT DOESNT.

If you go to the link, it will tell you that you have to basically vacuum all the air out!!! WTF!?! 

 The link says: My secret?? A vacuum-pack machine with a wide-mouth jar attachment.

Um so not what the idiot person wrote as the caption on this pin!

Moving on....

My second annoyance is when GIRLS yes you girls,

 keep pinning outfits that are like So not available to buy.

Case in Point:

I adore everything in this outfit. It's perfect for comfy casual teacher apparel.

The bad news? When I actually went to click on the link to buy each item guess what!?!

The sweater is from TWO years ago J Crew. 

The Steve Madden sandals are OUT OF STOCK freakin old.

The Capris I found on Ebay, but who wants only one piece of the attire?

So my point is, for girls like me, when you see a pin of an outfit, I actually go to the link expecting to buy stuff, not to find that it's all unavailable from 2-3 years ago. Why keep pinning things you can't buy anymore? To me it doesn't make sense. 

Some will say, "oh it's just a pin for inspiration."

C Mae (ME)  isn't that skilled when it comes to putting together her own outfits. Yes I am totally that girl that sees something on someone else or a mannequin and will buy the whole outfit. I am not that skilled with making up my own cutesy trending outfits. I rely on you lovely bloggers to help a girl out!!! 

This is another outfit that went around PINTEREST a lot which I know many of you pinned. Did anyone click the link to the girls blog to find out about it?

I did! Guess what. You can't get any of the items!

She lives overseas in a country where the store she got it from doesn't have online shopping or doesn't ship to the US which ever I forget. 

SO again, why are we all pinning this if it's totally unavailable to us?

JUST SAYIN!! 

Ok. I'd probably post more if I had time, but it's off to work I go.

Happy Friday loves.

Artsy Fartsy Art!

I Scream. You Scream. My Students Scream. 

3rd grade learned about Edward Munch's famous painting "The Scream." Thanks to mainstream pop art and cartoons, my students had all seen the painting via TV! 

As I mentioned before, I have been teaching After School Art, and I am SOO proud of my students and their first after school art projects!

I have a combination of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders after school. They got to experience metal tooling for the first time. And no, that's not aluminum foil, it's real heavy metal that they used a wooden stylus stick to carve into the metal, followed by silver sharpie.  

Just Because...

Then...

Now 

(Today's Youth's version)

Art Stuff a lil of this and that

My  sixth graders are speedy workers (for the most part)

So to slow them down a bit, before they got to jump right into painting their backgrounds, I had them do an exercise of mixing white and black paint with red.

The whole point was them to learn the difference of a Tint of Color and and a Shade of color. 

1st graders read "The Grouchy Ladybug" by Eric Carle 

(are you figuring out I teach a lot of art projects on this guy?!?) haha

I love that the book is so repetitive. The kids end up reading it to me because of the same lines being said over and over again. It's great! 

Sorry if this was a light post, I recently started After School Academy (basically "Art Club") so I've been tired when I do finally get home, give oodles of attention to Fur baby Aspen then catch up on everyone's blog posts for the day! 

Emmys Recap Special Moments

In case you didn't watch the emmys last night 

Here are some great memorable clips!

 I love the surprise look on Rob Lowe's face as Amy P. takes the stage, clearly he has no idea that they were all going to come up and do something funny for the winner!

 Thanks to a pre-planned bit with her fellow nominees, McCarthy ended up receiving a pageant-style tiara and bouquet of roses along with her statuette. She exclaimed, "This is my first and best pageant ever!"

Kyle Chandler won the Emmy for best dramatic actor on Sunday for his role as coach Eric Taylor on football series "Friday Night Lights" after the critically acclaimed show wrapped its fifth and last season.

Chandler, 46, is a 20-plus year veteran of television, having starred on series including "Tour of Duty," "Homefront" and "Early Edition."

In his first major TV role, he portrayed a member of an Army special operations squad in Vietnam in the series "Tour of Duty" (1987-90).

A well deserved win. 

Clear Eyes. Full Hearts, Can't Lose!!!!!




How awesome was it that Minka Kelly, who was such a big part of the show as well, was there to hand him his emmy!!?!! 

Keeping it Classy Southern Style

“Girls, I know it’s cool to be bad, but it’s also possible to make it in Hollywood without a reality show. When I came up in this business, if you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and hid it under your bed. And if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone, you would hide your face. For all the girls out there, it’s possible to be a good girl. I’m going to try to make it cool.” —Reese Witherspoon

Oh Reese. Tis why I heart  chu so much. Stay Classy. :-) 

What is it about them southern girls?!

“I mean, God bless The Notebook, it introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But, people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that.”

—	Ryan Gosling

                                                  I wish they were still together!
