Er, why, hello there, internet world! What have I been doing for the last just-over-a-month? Not much, actually. I've been going to work and coming home from work and doing the dishes and laundry and generally being a fairly boring person who only takes pictures very rarely. Quite frankly, I've been having trouble seeing the beauty in metropolitan Texas-land, but I've decided to challenge myself to take at least one picture a day for a while to see if I can start really seeing the world again. Stay tuned.

Look up
Sometimes, when you're stuck in a rut of just dealing with the next task, a change of perspective, like looking up, is the best thing to do.

Catching Fire
Yesterday's lack of post was due to my irresponsibly and addictively reading the last two books in Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy - Catching Fire and Mockingjay. My eighth graders are going to be reading the first book in the series next week, and I thought that as a responsible teacher, I should probably take a look at the other two books in the trilogy, in order to respond intelligently if the kids decided to read the rest of the books and talk to me about them. I downloaded them on my Kindle at 3:30 pm on Sunday afternoon. At 11:30 pm, I blearily looked up from the last page of Mockingjay and went immediately to bed, since it was hours past my bedtime. It's a pretty intense trilogy!

Old digs
Speaking of nostalgia for the Middle East, I'm kinda missing our old neighborhood in Bahrain. This was our street in Suqaya.

Nostalgia
Several of my coworkers are Turkish. They've installed a teapot that makes Turkish tea in the teacher's lounge, and which is reminding me how much I'd enjoy visiting Turkey again.

Flowers
One of my new school-year goals is to always have flowers somewhere in the house. They don't have to be expensive or fancy, just in existence to cheer up one of the rooms.
