My Life Happenings

My First Protest

01/11/2006

Yesterday I had my first protest. It wasn’t the stand on the street yelling kind of protest, but the silent hold-my-sign-along-with-a-group-of-others-so-please-notice-us kind of protest. It was at the Cupertino School Board meeting; currently we are negotiating a new contract. The contract will hopefully include some cost of living adjustments and salary increases, being that most Read More

Good Morning Starshine!

01/10/2006

I hate mornings. Only on weekdays. For some reason, I get up early on Saturdays quite naturally very often. It’s the other days of the week where I’m tired and mildly delirious and have to go to work and I just don’t get up well.

Meet Ella!

01/09/2006

Please welcome the newest addition to our family, ELLA! Official name: Ella Bo Jangles. I know, she looks a lot like Henson, but she’s actually smaller and is a girl and has one blue eye (in addition to her other brown eye, of course). Her personality is also very different from Henson’s. She wiggles and Read More

How’s My Driving?

01/03/2006

I love commercial vehicles that have those signs on the back that say “How’s My Driving? 1-800-PLEASE-DONT-COMPLAIN.” Or something like that… I was driving behind one today. It was a Schwann’s Truck. It was the first time in my life that I was REALLY REALLY tempted to actually call that number. See, unlike Andy’s rant Read More

Holidaze

12/25/2005

Man, I am so tired. Not sleepy tired. Just general, “Hi! Merry Christmas! YAY!” tired. Josh and I have several days left in Minnesota and I’m really hoping these last ones will be super chilled out. It’s rough that I see my family 1-2 times a year and that they are always crazy whirlwind events. Read More

Pretty Good Year

12/06/2005

Despite my being way too busy this year, I was able to finish off a pretty decent volleyball season. I’m looking for another team to play on since it’s my favorite form of exercise! This was the first year my team played in the advanced league and we did quite well! We were in 3rd/4th Read More

I Love a Good Break!

11/25/2005

Yes! This weekend has ruled! On Tuesday, we had lots of fun events at school including the student vs. staff volleyball game and the turkey trot (kids race the 880). Those are loads of fun and it’s fun to send the students off for a good long break. Not to mention sending MYSELF off to Read More

My Mother’s Hands

10/24/2005

Every now and then I look down at my hands and go, “Ahhh!” Reason is, my mom and I have the SAME EXACT HANDS. Seriously, it’s spooky how much they look alike. Sometimes, when I look down, my brain actually thinks they ARE my mom’s hands for a moment. Yeah… I know… REALLY CREEPY!
