Update me on your fabulous lives!

For a snow day!

I could use the day off, even if it means losing a day of pay. I hate being a long term substitute... all the grunt work, and none of the respect.

I do solemnly swear that if school is canceled tomorrow I will grade SOME or ONE paper. I WILL paint the last door in my basement. AND I will put last week's laundry away.

So much has happened to me this summer, I not sure where to start. Maybe with a microwave pizza--I haven't had dinner yet.

Moved Out and In

Jackie's "how too" for the first time home owner.

The age of your neighbor is proportional to the degree of annoyance.

Example: The little boy with the cute dog is very sweet, I like talking to him.
The elderly ladies on either side of me are cranky and have poor driving skills.
