2 Mind Benders

1. I actually paused for an embarrassingly long time when a 7th grader asked me my name yesterday because it's hard for me to own up to being called "Mrs. Stuart". Isn't that ridiculous? But it sounds so old! The kids at church call me "Sister Stuart" and I find that rather endearing, but something about Mrs. Stuart is giving me pause.


2. The teacher's lounge has a pebble ice machine!!! Can you believe it? Sadly, I can't eat it all day because I would end up creating a disturbance in all the classes as I tipped my cup and crunched away. Not to mention (though clearly I am) that I would need to carry my cup and a coaster everywhere I went because cups filled with pebble ice produce condensation like crazy (maybe this would be appropriate in a science class). And lastly, if I chewed ice all day I would need to use the restroom frequently, and that is not something I have the time or inclination to do. But, I will be enjoying some on my lunch break each day and may even fill a large cup at the end of the day to take home with me. This would cut down on the number of bags of ice I currently purchase each week (usually 2-3) at Sonic. Who knew?

**Any mind benders in your world?**

Comment Window Tidbit: My mission to buy Toy Story 3 BEFORE work yesterday was a success! Apparently 7:56am is the best time to shop at Wal-Mart...nobody was there, except for a really old man in front of me at the express checkout buying 4 bottles of Dr. Thunder for which he took at least 5 minutes to write a check!
