Why can't you understand?

It's like when you tell a joke, and no one thinks it as funny as you did?

OR when you believe you are wearing the greatest outfit ever! and no one compliments you!

OR when you are talking about something you are very passionate about, and to others their feelings are luke warm, at best....

This is how I feel sometimes. It's me and Harry Potter....

Against the WORLD!!

One of the students said something about the HP7 moving coming out, and I thought, "Yes! This is my moment to share the joy of making my own HP7 t-shirt!" So I proceeded to tell the class what a glorious piece of timeless apparel I had added to my wardrobe...it was like crickets chirping.

They TOTALLY did not get the Horcruxes? or Hallows? reference. Poo on you silly kids who don't know a good book when it smacks you in the face...poo on you.

For those that are my kindred spirits and will be with me when it comes down to movie time...here is a picture of the text on my new, awesome, totally hip, and everyone will want one...

HP7 Shirt.

Fall Weather and Books to Curl up With!

I saw a post today about the cool weather making its way to NWA, and it got me to thinking...What are my favorite things about fall?

* The Smells (Fires burning, rain, cool air, cinnamon smell)
* The Colors (red, brown, orange, yellow)
* My Birthday
* Coats/Jackets
* BOOKS.

When I think of the different seasons, I automatically think of the books I will read. Everybody always tries to find that perfect "beach read" or "summer book." Jump on the bandwagon people! Let's get into seasonal books reads for EVERY season.
Here is my list for fall -

1. Little Women (I actually just got finished with this one, and will post later about why it is SUCH a big deal)

****** Harry Potter Preview just came ON!**************

2. Harry Potter. There is something about the back to school atmosphere of the book that just screams...FALL!

3. To Kill a Mockingbird - Always for me associated with fall, not sure why.

4. Inspirational Books like The Shack and 90 Minutes in Heaven - The English teacher inside of me says it's because seasons are associated with the circle of life, and fall is like that age where we know we are getting old. I guess a good time for reflection.

I am sure that there are many more that I could list...mentally I am already preparing for winter. Its like a bear eating a lot in order to survive hibernation. I must read a lot in order to survive.....Life?
