It is massive birthday time with a lot of my friends right now including Brad, Jason, Dad, Jessie, Dustin, Anton, and soon Derek. Naturally I went to Halmark to get some cards. Jessie's and Jason's were very easy to pick out. Brad got beer instead of a card, Dustin gets a phone call, and Anton gets an email. I don't have to worry about Derek yet ( Read more... )

I am now suffering from post-snowday syndrome. The first problem I have is lack of students. They all have to stay in their regular classes to catch up on the work missed from snow days. The other problem I have is getting extremely sleepy by 1PM. I think everyone is dragging here today. I really need to go grocery shopping, but with the way I am ( Read more... )

Ok, maybe I just love being a teacher and the fact that we get snow days is awesome :) What stinks is our make-up days are during Spring Break. So.... we can have NO MORE SNOWDAYS! Otherwise, my trip to P-town will have to be delayed :( It can get pretty darn boring sitting at home by yourself all day long ( Read more... )

Wow. My car hit 80k miles this morning on the way to work. I bought it in October 2004 with 42k miles on it. I am thinking of selling my body kit that was meant to go on the car... since I have owned it longer than the stupid car itself. By the time Brandon has time, and I have money to put it on, the car is going to be about dead anyway. Bleh, I ( Read more... )

I am so glad I only work 2 days this week. I have been cleaning everyday getting ready for this housewarming party. It is more finishing unpacking rather than actual cleaning. I mean, we have been in the house a month... what major cleaning would we need to do? I am going to do a little cooking for it, too. I hope it works out ok! Sunday I am going ( Read more... )

I am going to start with my housewarming party. I, personally, wanted to have a small get together with maybe a few drinks to show everyone MINE AND BRANDON'S new house... did you catch the "mine and Brandon's" part?? Well it has turned into a full blown party full of mostly Derek's friends. Derek is B's younger bro by the way. So without pissing ( Read more... )

I feel like everywhere I turn there is a snowman looking at me. I guess this snow was really good for building them. I even saw one in the median of hwy 61 next to a car that had spun out. Maybe they were bored waiting for help ( Read more... )

On Thursdays my classes consist of 11 students. Today, 2 have shown up so far... and only one more is scheduled to come in. I am going out of my mind with boredom! I feel like I am wasting my time sometimes because teachers do not utilize my services! I know there are more than 2 students in this school who need help with work. Bleh... I'm bored.

I have to type this so I don't go off and complain to other teachers. We had a student teacher in our building, and I love her! She did a great job, and will make an excellent teacher. She just graduated college last week (I think) and is now subbing in our building. A true teacher cares about the students and has a passion for teaching. They don't ( Read more... )

Who decided these two should go together? How did they end up together? Man, are they yummy! I love the inventor of Peanutbutter and Jelly!! I can't wait until lunch time... I am all excited about my sandwich now :)
