Happy Candy Day!

What Valentines did I hand out today?

A Valentine from the Moodys, Stink and Judy!

The Judy Moody and Stink books are the fine products of the author Megan McDonald.

(The image I used can be found at Ms. McDonald's link.)

I had read two of the books to the second graders I work with, 

so I thought a Valentine featuring the Moody siblings

would be a nice alternative to a  pop-culture Valentine.

Sorry, Justin.

I'd rather Bieb Valentines with Stink Moody.

Have a Beet-y Valentine's Day

Back around 2oo6, I fell hard for the show The Office.  I became obsessed, obsessed

in the way a viewer can when she comes slightly late to a show

and then mainlines the earlier episodes.  

Although I'm no longer even that much of a fan of the show, something very cool has come of it:  internet friends.  For my Office buddy who lives back east, I made a Valentine's card inspired by a line in season two's Valentine's Day episode:

Pam:  "Everybody gives out little presents and stuff.  Like last year, Jim gave me this card, with Dwight's head on it... it was horrifying and funny and..."

A few minutes of Google yielded the needed images, and this card was born:

Man, I crack myself up.
