Okay, so I don't normally look at the writer's block topic, but today it caught my eye.  It looked hard, so I thought I would take it on.  For those of you who, like me, don't look, the topic is:  "If your daily life had a theme song, what would it be?"

There are just too many options for this one.  I've always said that if there were a ( Read more... )

 Today will be my first day of being a substitute teacher.  Well, the first day that I actually have a substituting job.  I'm a little nervous, as I always am when starting something new.  Also, it's in the 4th grade, and I know pretty much nothing about 4th graders.  E says in 4th grade they're still cute, so hopefully, they will all be cute.  And ( Read more... )

So, I spent my weekend in Southie.  It was good.  I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to get out of work early because of the latest PVH drama, but I got out after having to listen to opinions from everyone and their brother on a situation that doesn't affect me in the slightest.  Gossips, gossips, gossips--all of them.  Then, the dog and I made ( Read more... )

 It's freaking windy out there.  I think my house is going to blow down.

Are you supposed to tip your dog groomer?  If so, how much? 

 So, Paisley and I went down to Southie this past weekend.  Paul is in Florida with the Jims for sun and golf and the gulf, so Mom thought we could get some quality girl time in.  She always has fifty million things for us to do when I get down there, but this time it was actually mostly fun.  We ran a bunch of errands which included going to that ( Read more... )

 Two questions:

Does anyone else think that "April Fool's Day" is the stupidest thing in the world?

Why do people get married?

So, even though I still don't have a real job and I'm a month behind on my car payments and I have a pretty constant ache in my back, I felt very good today--for the first time in a really, really long time.  I did 5 loads of laundry, purged clothes I never wear from my closet and made my mom a Mother's Day present.  This doesn't seem like much, ( Read more... )
