Kim and I had a great opportunity the other night to go see Ingrid Michaelson in concert.
It was at this little place called the Warehouse and it was right by downtown Houston. The view was really cool. Too bad this picture is dark.
Too bad there was another concert going on at the same time. Their bass was pretty LOUD. It was only bad in between Ingrid's songs.
Here's Kim and I just before the concert started. It was a fairly small room with no seats. We got there early enough to be pretty close to the front. We were about 15 - 20 feet from the stage.
This guy - Greg Holden opened for her. He was really good and British! Nice! He just came out with an album. You should check him out!
I got this short little video of him.
Ingrid was awesome. Her voice is so great and she was so funny. I really enjoyed the whole concert and even got to hear some songs I had never heard of hers. For those of you who haven't heard of her, I have several of her songs on my playlist at the bottom of my blog.
I grabbed this picture off of the Internet since I couldn't get a good picture of her there without the microphone in her face.
Ingrid and her band posed for pictures. She said they were tired of seeing terrible pictures of themselves on the Internet from concerts. It was pretty funny.
Here's a video of her singing. I've got a few more after this one. They're just short little bits of songs. It sounded so good live. This was the whole group. It sounded better in real life. It was so loud because the crowd was in on all the clapping and stomping.
The zoom on the video function on my little camera wasn't very clear so I had to zoom right back out! This is one of my favorites of her songs.
"Prayer is your personal key to heaven and the lock is on your side of the veil." - Boyd K. Packer
"Love is like a gift." - Christian (in my first grade class)
"Joy is your birthright." - Mary Lee Roberts, M.S.

I was on lunch duty and saw some sort of a scuffle at the end of the lunch line. I headed that way and this is what happened:
Me: What's going on back here?
Colby: Daniel punched me in the nuts 4 times.
Me: What?!??!
Daniel: No, I punched him in the nuts 3 times!
February 6, 2009 While painting and decorating pet rocks that we had just finished measuring, describing, weighing, etc. One of the boys in my class said that he was making his rock into Goldilocks.
Me: Goldilocks? Jonathan: Yeah, see? It only has one eye! Me: You mean Cyclops? Jonathan: Yes! January ?, 2009 Paul just walked up to me the other day in class and said, "Ms. Bushman, if you play Bakugan with me, you're going down." January 28, 2009 I had another "lunch bunch" with a couple of boys in my class today. I asked them what they wanted to be when they grew up. Here are their replies:
Ty: I want to be a drummer. Justin: I want to be a butt model!
September 5, 2008 We were having show and tell and Christian was telling about his teddy bear.
Natalie: Is it made in China? Christian: Where else would I get it? In Mexico or Mexican? May 21, 2008 This little exchange occurred at recess as I was monitoring the playground. I came up on a few of my boys who just looked at me like they'd been up to something:
Me: You guys looks guilty. Boys: (Smiles) Me: Have you been up to something naughty? James: I haven't been guilty since we came out to recess! Nima: I haven't been guilty since I made lemonade, and that's not guilty!
May 8, 2008 This conversation happened during a "lunch bunch" with some of that same group of boys above. They were eating with me in my classroom.
William: I saw this movie last night where this giant ant killed this kid's parents. James: Better them than me! William: Better my sister than me!
