Oh joy oh bliss

First of all you must know that I thoroughly enjoy office supplies. New pens? Thrilling. Highlighters? Captivating. Post-it notes in all shapes and colours? The highlight of my life. So it shouldn’t surprise you that the whiteboards they put up in my room yesterday are like new toys for me. I don’t have to contend [...]

I realize that fully 9/10ths of people reading this aren’t going to even understand or care about this post. I’m okay with that.

I have been watching Heroes since the first season, and for themost part, I have loved it. This season though, it’s just getting too confusing for me. No one is who they seem. peoples’ parents aren’t really their parents, but they’re other peoples’ kids, and siblings of other people, and they’re al rnning around in [...]

Who knows where thoughts come from, Joe? They just appear!

I have a weird headache, so this won’t be long.
1- Just paid $90 to have the brakelines on our van fixed. Considering most mechanics charge at least $35/hour plus parts, and it took him three hours to do it, I think we got a good deal.
2- Y’all are going to laugh and call me antiquated, [...]

KYLE!

Years ago, when I was teaching 3rd grade, there was a little boy in my class who was… interesting. Every day he would be running around the classroom, screaming “Shabbideee, shabbidoooo” while we were working on our multiplication tables. He would hide under his desk when it came to Reading Circle time. He stole the [...]

An update would be in order

I hate when writers of blogs that I read post something dramatic and scary and then leave for a week, because then I worry about the blogger and whatever situation they’re in. I totally understand that blogging is usually the last thing on your mind in times of crisis, I do. But I still [...]

My dad

This has been one trying week.
This morning at 10:00 I answered my mother’s pounding on my front door (apparently my phone had powered off and even though I’ve been up since 7:30 she couldn’t get through). My dad has had a cough all week. His lungs collapsed this morning and he’s in surgery right now [...]

Where’s Judge Judy when you need her?

Yesterday Rob and I were in the supermarket parking lot, when a car we were walking past started backing up. We were trying to get out of the way but we were like, a foot and a half from the car when it started moving so Rob was yelling “HEY HEY STOP” and I was [...]

*SO* glad I’m no longer dating

(although I don’t have business cards, and guys don’t generally approach me on the streets except to ask for directions)
This actually made me a little uncomfortable and nervous. I hope Olga changed her number!

Almost the weekend!

My husband knows that my brain needs mindless fodder sometimes. Therefore he has procured for me Seasons 1 through 4 of Night Court. I am very happy.
Tomorrow is my long day at work (no breaks, plus lunch hour duty). After that, I have to take the van to the mechanic (the “check engine” light is [...]
