I am obsessed with school closings.  I really don't even care if where I work closes.  I just like seeing everywhere else that has closed.  I'm annoyed that this morning the website hasn't been updated since yesterday.  We got close to 18 inches of snow this weekend so a lot of districts in the area are closed.  Of course where I work we are not ( Read more... )

 It has been snowing here which is pretty rare for December (at least in the 4 years I've lived here!).  We probably got about a foot.  Yesterday I didn't have to work because it was a staff report day and I had won a snow day where I didn't have to come into work at all, so I stayed home yesterday and made cookies!  Today there is still snow on ( Read more... )

I have been driving a 1993 Gold Volvo 240 since February of 2003.  It was my last year in college and my parents decided to buy me my first car, since I used to babysit my younger sister every summer and could never have a job in order to buy myself a car.  (Not that I'm complaining, but I would have much rather stayed at home with my sister than ( Read more... )

Last night Anthony and I and David and Renee went to see The Bee Movie. I was mostly interested in it because Seinfeld was the Bee's voice, but haven't been too impressed with Dreamworks/Pixar movies lately. I have to say, it was quite hilarious! Much funnier than I thought it was going to be. For Seinfeld fans, Putty was also a voice in the ( Read more... )

I won the snow day! Now I can't wait to use it. I am hoping though that it occurs in January or March when the days start to drag by. With my luck it'll be on a day I wanted to go to work. I was babysitting the other day and I took off my jacket. Sydney took one look at my sweater (which was crazy colored stripes) and said, "Oooh, I like your ( Read more... )

I saw this movie this weekend. It was good, but not nearly as good as I thought it was going to be. We've been seeing a lot of movies lately and We Own the Night was by far the best. I really wish I had some girlfriends around here though so I could see the girly ones!! Maybe I should go with my mother-in-law. :)

I started watching the Amazing Race tonight. I have never seen a complete season (except the family one) and I am loving it! So now I can add that to our list of TV viewing. Thank goodness we have DVR so we can save our shows until the weekend! I am way too busy during the week to watch all my tv. Yesterday we went to a fundraiser for the ( Read more... )

I was to do an evaluation on a 3 year old today. So I get down to his daycare and the speech therapist is all ready and brings him down to the room. He was crying and upset because he was recently dropped off, but was calming down. And then out of the blue he threw up all over the speech therapist! I haven't seen kid puke for years and I forgot how ( Read more... )

Does anyone know how to keep a friend friended, but get them off of your friend's page? I like reading the weddingplans community, but I hate all the posts on my friends page!

I have one of those Smart Alarm Clocks that automatically know the correct day and time just by plugging them in! I was so excited when I got it. Of course, now that Daylight Savings time changed, the clock isn't so smart. When I got up this morning it said it was 7:30, but I couldn't figure out why it was so light out and why I felt so rested ( Read more... )
