Field trip tomorrow to the LA County Museum of Art and I just realized
that I forgot to have the “beauty of the human form” discussion.
“If you were born in a place where they didn’t wear clothes, it
wouldn’t be a big deal … bodies are bodies … we all
have butts … the human body is beautiful.” I try to cover all
the angles. I did such a good job last time that one of my boys
caught another kid giggling at a protruding body part on a statue and
said, “Hey, it’s just a human body. Why don’t you grow up
already?!” 
It’s supposed to rain tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed that our
picnic lunch doesn’t become a mudbath! Okay … of to psych up
for a day of counting heads and ensuring that we don’t set off any
alarms or shock any of the hoity-toity “ladies who lunch” trying to
spend a quiet afternoon at the museum …
P.S. I wish I had cute little legs … with real ankles and no
cupie doll knees, perhaps just a little less like a telephone
pole? Just a thought. Thank you, hearty peasant stock
ancestors for yet another of your wonderful contributions to my
physique. 
Oh, hey … on that
same note, I got an email from Eddie Bauer today. They’re polling
their mailing list about a name for their new jeans made especially for
women with a waist one size smaller than their hips. The choices
were ‘shaped’, ‘shapely’, or ‘curvy’. Hey, how about
‘normal’? I submitted my own … “pear o’ pants … for the
pear-shaped.” So, if you’re ever in an Eddie Bauer store and
happen upon a “pear o’ pants” while perusing the shelves, you heard it here first!

Have fun on the field trip!

or apple.

hmm i miss those field trip days….my favorite was the cape may lighthouse….but oh my god….sure it is 199 steps up but then you forget you got to walk down them..and there was this ancient woman half way up selling some things …i am wondering what the heck does this old lady run down every time she needs the bathroom? gee but my knee killed….lololol i think my days on the beach are better spent then on the stairs in the lighthouse…yes i saw it and i dont need to see it again…yeh they give you a button..i walked the 199 stairs ….it should read…
i walked the 199 stairs up and fell down the 199 steps when i found out their was no elevator….hahahhaa ❤
I was out ill the one day during student teaching that they had a field trip– it was to a rec center, not an art museum. I can’t say I’m upset I missed it, really, although I know that’s part of the job– less so in middle or high school, thankfully
