Hello y'all!
I hope everyone is doing well. I am fine and dandy. I am starting to teach some students some slang and idioms. So if any of y'all have some good ideas, let me know. It is really hard to actually think of slang because it is so common for us. And I have been trying very hard not to use it around students because they may not understand. Thanks for your input!

I went to see Bruce Almighty last week. It's a great movie if you haven't seen it yet. If you guys see any good films that you think would be good to discuss with my students, let me know. I am going to see Far Away from Heaven tonight. I hope it is as good as it has been reported to be.

Ok, so did you know that there is no such thing as cheddar cheese here? Being a big fan of cheddar, I was quite shocked and dismayed by this fact. The thing I miss more than cheddar cheese is pominto cheese sandwiches. But my friend, Penny, has saved me from a pominto cheeseless existance. While she was visiting me, she introduced me to a paprika flavored cream cheese spread that tastes like pominto cheese with a kick! I am thrilled to say that I haven't bought another kind of cheese spread since. And it is cheaper than the others that I was buying. So once again, it's the little things that make me happy.

Have a blessed week--Jessica
