The one with happy thoughts.

I feel like my last couple of blogs have been pretty depressing. So I decided to write on the lighter side today. When going through crap I noticed that its easy to loose sight of the little things that make you happy. So I made a list. I'm not a big list maker, but I pushed through it and it was awesome.

So here's a little bit of that list:

Dove Deoderant. -If you live in the desert, you understand the NEED for a deoderant that will protect you all day and will stop you from sweating like a man. This deoderant smell AMAZING! It also reduces the visibility of hair. 
WOO to the HOO!



Paul Mitchell products.- I'm not usually a snob for anything. But I love to go to the Paul Mitchell school to get my hair did. They do a good job, and have quality products.





SHOOOOOOEEESSSS!
Need I say more?




Picture/Card board.- This is in my room. I look at this, and remember the people and events that mean the most to me. 





Freaking granola.- It's hard to describe my love for granola. It's delicious, sweet, crunchy, and pure amazing. Find me something to put granola on and I will love you forevever.





My journal and my planner.- Both of these things are essentials to my life. My journal contains all my A.D.D type thoughts, and my planner keeps my A.D.D contained. Both make me happy and sane.
Nobody wants an unhappy, insane Elisa.




My daily Bible.- I try my best to read everyday, but life gets in the way. I can tell you for sure that whenever I do read I feel ready to bring on whatever life has in store. Thanks God!





Mollie the MacBook.- I've had her for almost 3 years. And she's still going strong. I'm not one for fighting, but I will always take the side of an Apple. 





Taking pictures with props, with this chick.- And being in California, while taking pictures, with props, with this chick. But mostly this chick. :)






Every single person in this picture.- The youth group of FSBCA makes my life 10 billion times greater! I love these crazy kids! 
OOOOHHH NIIICE!





Eating Chick'n nuggets with Elias Elefante.-We were watching Community..
The greatest show on earth...
and they were eating chicken nuggets, and we both got the craving nuggets. I, of course, made "chick'n nuggets." And him with his regular nuggets. It seems dumb, but situations like these is kinda what I live for. Watching a good show, eating, relaxing...it's my favorite thing on the earth. Thanks Elias Elefante.

The one where I'm socially awkward.

I never know how to act around people I just met. Or barley met. Or hardley know. Most of my close friends couldn't stand me the first time they met me. Yes, this includes the love of my life, a Mr. Elias Hernandez. But I guess it goes back to high school...... Insert flashback noise from Waynes World.....no? Moving on. I was a terrible person back in high school. I mean wow. Just awful. My mouth is what got the best of me. Either horrible rumors and gossip behind people back, or snarky sarcastic remarks in front if people I was MEAN! Whenever I met someone, I could not look past their faults. Anyone. If I saw someone I would automatically think of something I don't like about them. It was bad. Eventually I let God take care of me. By the end of senior year I had done some damage control and cut some fat from my friends. I ended up with only 3 friends at my high school. Yup 3. That's it. Love those three girls. You know who you are. So, in letting God get a hold of ...

The one with the really fun English teacher.

I've discussed the mom thing enough. You're probably like "Okay. We get it. You're bad at this. Move on." Will do! Let's discuss something I am relatively okay at: teaching. This is currently year 5 in the classroom for me. I've been at my current high school for 3 of those years teaching mostly 11th grade English, (every once in a while they like to throw in a sophomore or a senior group). I love this class. The age, the content, the behavior, the literature- everything. This is my sweet spot. I honestly have been sitting on this blog post for over 4 weeks now, in this exact spot. I have NO idea how I want to shape this blog or even begin to talk about my love for education. Management? Content? Students? English? Parents? Environment? Professional Development? There are literally so many things to talk about with education, that I've had the worst time narrowing down what it is I want to discuss in my first education themed blog. I w...

The one I'm pushing through.

Remember when I kept up with my blog? More importantly: remember when I thought I was going to simplify this year? I told you all I was going to keep things focused on 1 word: simple. My life, my goals, my home, my job, my thoughts- KEEP IT SIMPLE. Have I done that at all? If you think that I have, you must be new here. It's literally one month away from being 2019, and I have been anything but simple this year. I changed schools. We continued to gather clutter. We have yet to get a grip on our finances. I still overthink every little thing I do. My house is a constant disaster area. My new school has been a challenge at every step. Personal challenges and relationships have been a struggle. I have done everything except keep it "simple" this year. In every sense of my "simple" goal, I failed. Sure, I have a month left. So I could get back on track. I could try my best to simplify what I can. But sometimes, I feel like I try so hard to NOT try so...
