Hello world I am officially a Twitter-er! Really I have no idea what that means yet – but I have already twitted…is that a word? I hope to figure it out soon – I am just a trendy follower and everyone else was twitting…. Look for me if you are a Twitter-er as well! Screen name: Jumkins!

I went to prom May 1st – I know what you’re thinking, “My god, aren’t you a little old to be attending prom?!” Well, yes I am, but I was there as a chaperone and not a guest. My students went and so I felt the urge to spy – I mean help out. It was awesome seeing my guys all dressed up! I have been with them since 7th grade so I know most of their classmates and it was so much fun watching them walk through the door all dressed up. It was equally exciting to see all my coworkers all dressed up and I have to admit it was fun to get all snazzy myself. One of the students brought a camera – so I borrowed her camera and took pictures of my students and friends. She then took some pictures of Carlos and ME being goofy – as usual…

Yes, I realize it is not the most flattering picture but it is a great example of our personalities! When we saw that we closed our eyes we decided to go for another shot – a little more “normal” if that was at all possible…

The final result was interesting as we both made sure our eyes were open! When I saw this picture I said, “Holy shit! I look like my grandmother!” It is not the best picture of me, but I wouldn’t call it bad – although the future of my face is freaking me out a little! My grandmother was pretty and I loved her, but grandma’s face looked good on grandma… She had a large polish honker of a nose! Grandma wore it well and she was a good sport in poking fun at her own nose. The other part of her face I didn’t like were her deep sunken eyes… They were just in caves on her face! Deep dark caves! Again, it was grandma and I liked grandma’s face… (again) on grandma. My grandmother’s side of the family has this “forever young” gene and I suppose I am happy to be heading in that genetic direction… I am just… freaked out a little.

Prom night was amazing (despite my grandma face realization *wink*) and my guys were the best looking fellas there!

(Carlos “C-Dawg” and Fabian)

I am going to miss these guys! But I still have 19 more days of goofy bliss and you bet I am going to enjoy every second of it!
