I also posted this on twitter and shared it on facebook, but it's worthwhile enough to post here too.  This is my home and a factory that sustained my family.

So a few months back, I bought $500 worth of Lego sets for my class and the other preschool class.  This was possibly the best toy purchase I've ever made for a classroom.  We put one set on the shelf right after we got them in, and they have been played with EVERYDAY!

At first, I was like, "Oh, they're just the new toy so everyone is excited ( Read more... )

Well, Miss Kassidy turns 2 this coming Friday.  She knows all the letters and most numbers and colors.  She says new words everyday too.  Girl is smart as a whip.  She just might put her Daddy and I to shame when it comes to learnin. ;P  She loves Sesame Street and Mickey Mouse so she's having a Minnie Mouse themed party.  We did Elmo last year, ( Read more... )

I'm running a test to see who's reading my posts. So, if you read this, leave me a one-word comment about your day that starts with the third letter of your LJ USERNAME. Only one word please. Then repost so I can leave a word for you. Don't just post a word and not copy - that's not as much fun.

It seems Cards Against Humanity is sold out. :( At least you can print off the cards for free, and I think I will follow their advice and get them printed at Staples. BECAUSE THERE WILL BE FUCKING CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY AT MY BIRTHDAY PARTY DAMNIT! Also, I will swear.http://

So in 15 days...I turn 30. Yikes! The big question is how to celebrate this once in a lifetime memorable event? There are a couple ideas I was throwing around in my head while driving home last night, and maybe I'll come up with more. First, I was thinking it would be really cool to have a girly party somewhat like I did 2 years ago, but then I ( Read more... )

2011 started low with me not having a job and prospects seeming dim. However, I am so grateful that things turned around, and I was able to get a job again. It's not my ideal job but beggars can't be choosers. I became an Aunt to beautiful little Chloe in July ( Read more... )

NEW GAMING LAPTOP IN THE HOUUUUUUUUSE!

Thank you to Stephen!

It's a beautiful Asus G74-SX!! So this will be my third Asus laptop, and my 2nd laptop from their RoG line. SWTOR won't stand a chance against this beast, and it will eat WoW for breakfast while it snacks on LoL!

Well, the mother of the two kids that I wrote about a lil while ago lost her battle with cancer. It is a terribly sad day at my workplace. I broke down crying yesterday, and other staff have broken down today. It's hard to be in the Christmas spirit after something so tragic.
