Yesterday I made a last minute decision to attend a JCIRA (Jefferson County International Reading Association) event tonight with my friend Lesa. I almost cancelled because I was having a bad hair day (yes I'm that shallow) but decided to power through it. I'm so glad that I did!  The speaker, author Ellin Oliver Keene was very inspiring and upbeat. It was just what I needed to be revved up to start working with students tomorrow. The best part of the evening was that I ran into former colleagues that I haven't seen for awhile. Heck, even the people I didn't know were friendly- if you ever need to feel warm and fuzzy, hang out with a bunch of teachers! By the way, one friend commented on how much she liked my hair...go figure!
