I feel disturbed. You see, I sent this e-mail to Josh the other day, asking him if he’d like to have lunch with me because “I’d really love to see you today. ;-)” I didn’t get why Josh didnt respond, so I called him and he came to Hyde and had lunch with me. Turns Read More
Well, Josh took me to Indico. I played a game called Desert Combat with Josh and Neal and a few others who had coined names like “Milkman” and Something-“Sniper” and other strange names. I had no idea what I was doing. People started driving planes around and shooting at things. I was like, “WHO DO Read More
I just realized that when I stopped using Mac homepage, I forgot to export my pics (from my Historian & Artist links) to html. So, now there are just a bunch of broken links. So, basically, I suck. I’ll get them fixed maybe by the end of Thanksgiving break. Since I’m not going home for Read More
Last weekend, Josh and I went to CostCo and got one of those huge, cheap bags of kitty litter. Feeling like we got a great deal, we were excited to have this seemingly limitless amount of kitty litter. Problem is that we put it in the back of my car and the bag ripped open. Read More
Okay, so it wasn’t a peaceful day. I got to work 35 minutes late, even though I left our house earlier than usual. There was an accident on the road ahead and I seriously moved about 100 feet in 30 minutes. Wowsers. When I got to school, I didn’t have time to do the stuff Read More
Tonight Annie and I took the Jr. High girls bowling for fun night. It was very interesting. Even though we were bumper bowling, several of the girls didn’t want to bowl because “bowling is dumb” and some other reason I didn’t understand. I think it was equivalent to “I’ll feel dumb if I do poorly.” Read More
I chaperoned the middle school dance tonight. Good times. I found that the biggest challenge of the night was keeping parents from going into the dance. So many of them wanted to go in to find their kid. I’d have to tell them to wait until the end, that we don’t release kids and they’d Read More
I learned something disturbing the other day. One of my former students stopped in to see me and said that her sister just got her 13th abortion last week. And she’s only 21 years old. Avoiding the whole “she’s killing babies” thing, I asked why she didn’t use some form of birth control. She said Read More
I am so impressed with the way my students are drawing right now. It is so invigorating to see them drawing okay at the beginning of the year, then show them a few short drawing lessons, and *bam!* they’re creating awesome stuff! I’ll post a link to some pics once the kiddos turn them in Read More
