Monday night reflections.

For someone who loves dressing up so much, I've somewhat surprised myself at my lack of excitement over all of the frilly formalness of weddings. I can't talk myself into the invitations with flowy cursive and the bouquets with flowers arranged into a ball. I mostly just want to email everyone we know and say, "Come to our party! It will be sooo fun!" However, I understand that this is socially unacceptable and I am working to find a happy medium.

In other news, I taught about Chinese New Year today in social studies and read a book which had loads of information in it like how they set off fireworks and have parades and the kids were really into it. #1 comment which made continued teaching for the sake of concrete knowledge of the Chinese culture a sure-go for tomorrow: "Can you eat fireworks?"
