Eye Doctor

Try to go to an eye doctor after watching this beauty from Comedian Brian Regan:

 I almost literally bust out laughing when he did the, "Did 1 or 2 look better? One or two?"

Oh man, Brian Regan is hilarious!

Balloons

Recently for one of my classes I'm taking online for my ESL/ELL certification, I had to make a word wall.  Anyhoot, mom and I (but really just mom) made the following.  SUPER CUTE!  It's for the K-2 kids at one of the elementary schools in town. 

Job Searching

Careerbuilder.com. . .great site from my experience. 

I looked on the site last week for ESL/ELL jobs. . .100+ hits for. . .wait for it....KOREA!  Would I mind going back? No.  I loved living in Korea, you know except for that pesky toothpick incident.  But, I really thought when having the 'feeling' to come back that you know, I would find something. . .

Maybe, it's the experience!

Turkeys!

Some of the reasons I love living in Nebraska! This is what I found on my way into work a few weeks ago...turkeys!!

Pinterest

A woman I knew from high school put this sit up on her wall feed a few weeks ago:  www.pinterest.com

I waited I think one week for them to invite me after I sent in my email address.  I think they do this to weed out the spammers. Anywho, the site is a virtual pinboard.  Very cool!  You find pictures from all over the web and 'pin' them up on self-created boards.  You can go through the site, looking at others boards and pin their stuff to your stuff.

It's just such a cool place to find new things that I would never before have the chance to look for or even wrap my head around looking for. I definitely think that you should check it out and sign up!


Some of my coolest finds:

Violin ROCK Concert

Oh yes...you read that title right.  My mother and I received tickets to David Garrett's violin performance.  I was prepared to listen to classical pieces all night and attempt to be sophisticated. 

However, as soon as I saw the stage set up from our 2nd row seat...of a keyboard, drum kit, a bass, and two electrical guitars, I knew that this wasn't going to be your normal violin concert. 

David Garrett's music combines classical and rock pieces together...such as using Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson, Led Zeplin, Metallica and many more.

This is David Garrett explaining and playing some of his pieces.

If you want to just listen to a few pieces of his...here is a video.

The concert was amazing!  Garrett and his band have very good chemistry and you can tell that they love performing.  If you have chance to go see him live...DO IT!

The audiences was mostly people over the age of  40 but there were still people yelling and cheering throughout the concert. 

Including the woman next to me, who had to be at least 50 years old, who asked me,

W: "Do you know how old David is?" 

Me: "Umm...well the program said he was 29, I think...."

W: "Oh  my! He could be my son!"

Me: Thinking....hmmm....why would she want to know that....

W:  "He is so HOT!"

Me: ....omg....

Trying Something New

So for one of my online classes I am taking, we have to go out and have 4 cultural experiances....whatever that means to us.  I wanted to try a new food, that I had I never had, and my dad suggested Ethiopian.  I found a little place on Cass & Saddle in Omaha.....Mmmmmmmm!

Assorted stuff...mmmmm, meat, feta, cabbage, lentils, salad and other stuff!

Meat, bread, eggs, salad....Mmmmm.

By the way, this by far some the tastiest tea I have ever had period!

Seriously, go out and try something new!
