Wanna go to the Ren Faire
I've never been to a real, honest-to-goodness, Renaissance Faire ( Read more... ) -
Tornado, Apartment, etc
On Wednesday night, a tornado passed over my place of work and seriously messed the place up. In the 15 years I've been there, they have NEVER canceled summer camp. They did for Thursday (which is good, because I have a full schedule on Thursdays). Snow days in July are slammin ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
After minimizing the HOROSCOPE feature on my google frontpage, I finally maximized it again with one provision: I only read it at night and laugh at how wrong it is. Back in the winter, I would read it in the morning and it would influence my day... which is not cool on days when the horoscope is less than ideal ( Read more... ) -
Ponyo loves Sosuke!
The advantage to lending Maggie The Monolith is that she loaded it up with movies and goodies for me to watch.

I feel like, after months of full-time teacher, only now am I officially "a teacher".
Bubbles is so flippin' cool! -
2PM Pancake
Oooooh my goodness!
Two of my third-graders just came down to my room to deliver a pancake smothered in delicious homemade maple syrup boiled down from sap collected from the maple trees behind the school.
This could be the single awesomest, cutest thing in the whole wide world. I love my job! -
Diagnostics: Not Just Another Episode of House
It truly is no secret that I am in love with the T.V. series House M.D. I've loved it ever since Noel/Meaghan/both got me into it some time my junior year of college. Solving the mystery is just too much fun. More importantly, as I am fairly apt at predicting outcomes to T.V. shows, my lack of a personal medical background means plenty of never- ( Read more... )
