Silly Haiku Wednesday - #5

The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

This week’s theme is: Education

Learning is so fun
But tests and exams are not
Can't we just skip them?


Woohoo I easily remembered to do one this week :)

What grade should I teach?

I just saw a quiz about what grade you should teach while visiting Thom's website, and decided to take the quiz for myself.

You Should Teach Second Grade

You are an excellent communicator and instructor. You would take teaching seriously. You know how to present a subject in many ways. You are good at coming up with examples. You are both supportive and challenging. You know when to push, and you know when to praise. You have a lot of energy, and you don't get discouraged easily. You don't give up on people.

What Grade Should You Teach?

I love kids of all ages but I think little kids would be easier to teach :)

Chicken Enchiladas

On many of my menu plans, I leave a link to our chicken enchilada recipe. It's a family recipe, and I have no idea where it came from before that. We always post these really nice pictures of what it looks like in the casserole dish. Well the other night, she served me some before I got into the dining room, and I just wanted to share that lovely picture with you. It really reminded me that looks don't matter hehehehe And...don't let the picture scare you off...it really is delicious!!!!

Ruby Tuesday #2

This is my second time doing the Ruby Tuesday meme. It is hosted by Work Of The Poet. All you have to do is post a picture with red.

I had seen a spider a few days ago...but didn't have a camera nearby and then it disappeared. My mom took out the trash last night and saw the same spider in our trash area. Below is the picture. Does anyone know what it is? Think it's poisonous?

Do you have a red pic to share? :)

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

I have a 3-at-a-time Netflix membership, and currently am a bit behind on movies. I rented Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist because I heard it was good and because I think Michael Cera is hilarious and cute in a totally nerdy sort of way.

Wow, what a great movie. I don't want to spoil it incase anyone hasn't seen it...but it takes place over one really long night! It's about a group of different high school kids and how they end up interacting with each other. The acting was really cute and everyone played their roles really well! I also used to go to a lot of music "shows" as a teenager so I can relate to the characters!

I would highly recommend it, but it might not be appropriate for kids lol

Friend Makin Mondays - Favorite Things About Fall

This is a new meme I just found, currently hosted by Amber at AE Filkins.

What are your faves???

The 13th Warrior

On Friday night, a friend invited me over to watch "The 13th Warrior". I generally enjoy Antonio Banderas as an actor and had never seen this movie, so I happily went over to watch it.

While I thoroughly enjoyed getting to see many of my friends, I didn't enjoy the movie overly much. The acting was fine, but the beginning of the movie was in whatever language and not subtitled (although Antonio Banderas' character had someone translating to him sometimes). Therefore, I really had no idea what was going on for a long time. The action scenes were okay, but the movie is about 10 years old and you could really tell that by the special effects.

So, while I wouldn't say this movie was bad...I would definitely say it wasn't that good. If you are in the mood for an Antonio Banderas movie, I would definitely recommend one of the Zorro or Shrek movies instead of this one.

If anyone else has seen the movie, I would love to know your thoughts on it!
