Currently ~ Fabulous February!

I'm so delighted to have found a new Currently link-up with Anne in Residence and Teal and Polka Dots!

  

packing:

 Every Saturday I go to my local public library and pick up a large assortment of books.  Then I come home and decide which books I'll bring to school; which books I'll save for the following week; or which books I don't even want to read.  When I feel like doing some "shopping" for books, I'll go on the inter-library loan site and order a bunch of books I've seen on other blogs.  Right now I have the newest Caldecott winning book and all the Honor books.

I'm especially excited to read this Honor Book:

jonesing: 

 It's a good thing my 23 year old son was around to explain to me that this word mean "craving" or "feel like having something" ~ otherwise I'd have no idea what to write here.  Right now I'm jonesing for the weekend! (I just asked my son if this was acceptable; his response "Oh, yeah!"

texting:

 Today I was texting my colleague who was out sick and missed our field trip to the Commonwealth Museum - the state museum of Massachusetts.  It was a very educational trip.  The oldest bowling ball in the USA is in their archives!

Yes, that's a bowling ball!  When excavating in Boston, archaeologists unearthed all kinds of treasures of colonists' privies (bathrooms).  There's an extensive collection of these objects at the Commonwealth Museum.

I just started reading this amazing book:

I'm just in awe of Jodi Picoult and how she thinks up these amazing stories to write.

hearting: 

I love how it's light out until a little after five o'clock ~ that extra daylight makes me so hopeful and happy!
