Korean Turkey's

I taught a lesson on Thanksgiving to the boys. And I made them draw turkeys and write things they are grateful for just like we do when we're little! Suckers.

They are a creative little bunch.

Here are some of my favorites:

The turkey bus going to hell

This one gets a spot because of what the little bugger wrote on the bottom. If anyone can translate my nickname, let me know. And its good to know one can be both scary, fun, and likable!

The next two are just the most random. And they have to deal with physical ailments. Which is usually what I think of when I think American Thanksgiving...


Yes, skin cancer turkey and handicap turkey (complete with wheelchair) round out this boy band of drawings. Who even knew?

Cindy, you don't know me, but I'm Jill's friend from school. She mentioned that she has a friend who is teaching English in Korea and I've kind of been blog-stalking you for the last few weeks. I have to say, I LOVE your blog. It takes me back to growing up in Korea. I've been wanting to comment, but refrained because I didn't want you to think I was a weirdo, but since you asked someone to translate "해롱이," I thought I would. Apparently 해롱이 is a character in an animated TV show and there's also a game. Hope this helps. If you have any questions about Korea/Koreans, etc., let me know. I hope things are going well for the most part.

I love this post and all the posts below. I can't believe how perfect those pastries were for you as they would have been for me...especially in my prego state. And...I now have a huge craving for flamin hot cheetos which will only lead to heartburn, so I better not. I love how fun you are with your students...and happy late birthday. Sorry I didn't send you anything...we will have to do a make-up when you get back. LOVE you!!!

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
