I might never do a tag again!


I have actually been debating whether or not to post this because the list is so long! I really had NO idea my purse was this full of random things. All you gals should feel mucho better about your own purses after discovering what's in mine! (If you get all the way through the list!)
Here is my purse, which is actually supposed to be a diaper bag. But I didn't figure that out until about three months after I bought it! But its super cute, and holds everything I need it to, and as you will see...more! :)


And here are the contents of my purse...

- I know! Its utterly ridiculous! (Although I think Crystal definitely takes the cake with lip products) So, here is my purse in a list!
my voter registration card (I know this might be common sense, but what are you supposed to do with that?)
- 2 books..."The Ill-Made Mute, and "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" (Which is TOTALLY AWESOME! I really recommend it to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their husband even just a little!)
- a book of soprano solos
- laptop plus all the wires and a mouse to go with it
- a fork (Come on! You never know who might need one in an emergency!)
- Not one, but two tire pressure checkers! (You can tell I am always driving!)
- black fancy necklace
- manilla folder full of staff paper, lesson plans, music, and tests (which need to be graded. tee hee)
- sticky notes with nonsense scribbled on them
- TONS of receipts
- a hair clip
- one bobby pin
- a pendant for a necklace
- package of nail tattoos and press-on nails ( I know its silly! But my niece begged for them. I just ended up with the leftovers and never threw them out)
- mardi gras beads
- two pieces of chalk (always gotta be prepared),
- hand sanitizer (cocnut lime verbena! One of the smells of Heaven)
- one paper clip
- one rubber band
- Mileage tracking paper
- 2007 Planner...That's a long story
- A CD my student made
- 6 blank cds
- Envelop with Daniel's name on it (from Christmas)
- more music
- The script to the play my students performed at Christmas
- DVD - My Fair Lady
- empty PMS pill bottle
- flash drive
- 3 Wal-Mart gift cards (they all have a little money on them...we use them to buy cheaper gas.)
- sunblock (why?...)
- Five pencils
- Four pens
- 2 business cards
- 2 old check stubs!
And there it is! Whew...I thought I would never get through that! I don't blame you if you bet bored reading in the middle of the list! Heaven knows I got bored typing! HAha. So y'all should feel real nice about your own purses. And I might never do a tag again!

5 random Jessica Facts

Okay, I do not really notice random facts about myself, but I will try.
1. I am at school right now and should be preparing for a lesson I am going to give in about 30 minutes but my brain is tired (when is it not?!)and I took a break to blog!
2. Ummm...I love Daniel!! BWAHAHAHAHA Yes I am putting that and NO ONE can stop me!
3. My favorite way to eat spaghetti is with parmesan cheese and ranch dressing! Mmmm Mmmm Good! (Daniel almost gags every time I do it!)
4. I had headgear when I was young! Yes, I know it was terrible, but the worst part was, they wanted me to wear it while I slept. It was so painful I would wake up in the middle of the night and take it off. Well, then....they made me wear it to school! Ahhhhhh It was Neon yellow! And i still had to get braces because they said it didn't work!
5. Favorite Book in the BoM...Duh, Mosiah!
Haha here you go. I will do the purse one later! I PROMISE I will not clean out my purse first. I just really have to get ready for my student. Plus I don't have a camera here. So, hold your horses! My purse will help EVERYONE feel better! :)

I guess if there is anyone who reads this and hasn't been tagged yet! Here's your chance. TAG - you're it!

The calm weekend

Because I am a music teacher in a rural community, I drive all over the place to give children a music education. To give you an idea of how much I drive, we just bought a brand new car the day before Thanksgiving. When we bought it, it had 25 miles on it and now it has almost twelve thousand! Granted about 3,000 of those are from going to AZ, that's A LOT of driving! So, with no real plans for the weekend during the workweek, I was looking forward to a quiet weekend of no driving and just hangin' out with my honey. HA! Friday night we went out to eat at Wingstop (which is one of our favorites #1 because instead of getting the drinks there we go to the smoothie place next door and get an AWESOME smoothie. and #2 Because Daniel enjoyed this place in AZ called Long Wongs, and he says this place comes as close to that as you can get. So when we are finished eating there, we decide it would be fun to go see my family. Keep in mind, these people live 2 and a half hours away and we would only be there until Saturday evening because we had to come back for church in our ward. So, we decided what the heck! And went for it. My family was surprised when we showed up at 8:30. But they were happy to see us, and we played games and talked until the wee hours of the morning when finally our eyes would no longer stay open and our sentences were incoherent! The next day, we found out that my family was going to the baptism of a close friend in Alexandria (which is halfway between my family and where we live) Haha, I had brought a dress just in case something like this happened, but the only pants I brought for Daniel were khaki cargo's that he said didn't fit him. So he wore his jeans from the day before and off we went. We thought we were going to be late, but made it just in time for it to begin and were welcomed so warmly, we forgot what Daniel was wearing. And it turns out Daniel got to play an active role in this little girl's baptism. While she was being baptized, her father asked him to be one of the witnesses. And then during her confirmation, Daniel stood in the circle! It was a really wonderful experience. The spirit was very strong and Daniel was touched! (It's probably weird but, I love it when he cries from feeling the spirit!) So then a quick stop to Books a Million and we were off to home. So, at eleven o'clock last night I began preparing not only my lesson for my class, but I also had the Sharing time lesson today. By the way, Sugardoodle is AWESOME!
This morning went smoothly, but we were five minutes late for church (as usual) and I had to leave sacrament meeting early to go prepare for sharing time. I was praying like crazy that it would go smoothly and the kids would get something out of it. And it went REALLY well. I could not believe how reverent those children were! It was SO CUTE! I think it might have something to do with the flu season. (There were a lot of kids missing) :) But it was fun. I loved seeing those cute little faces so eager for their turn to come choose something! Man, I can't wait till I can have my own! Oh, by the way Kelly, if you read this, I have made an appointment with an endocrinologist! Don't worry... I'm totally excited. Maybe we'll get the ball rolling on this whole baby business. I guess I'll sign out now. Daniel says this is like 12 blogs in one! Haha maybe so. Maybe I do have something to say after all!

Just seeing if I could do it!

Daniel was looking at all the Curiel blogs yesterday and decided it would be cool if we started one. I had some reservations (like no time and not being good at this kind of stuff, plus, what was I going to say?) So here it is my first post; its not so hard. Watch, I probably didn't do it right and now the whole page is going to be lopsided! So anyway...This is the cutest man in the whole world! And I'm lucky enough to be the one he spends everyday with! Wow, I LOVE IT! Well, this was fun. Now I will have to take more pictures and think of interesting things to say. We will see how this whole blog thing works out

I am the craziest Curiel

Hello people of the world

My imaginary world is falling down around me, and all that is left is reality. I did not ask for this. I need to get my money back.
