In case anyone one was wondering what happened in my life during my LJ disappearance, here are the not-so-exciting highlights...

( Boys suck... )

I haven't disappeared since my not-so-exciting "I'm back!" post ( Read more... )

I'm a former competitive dancer...and I still think this is completely ridiculous.

A brief summary of my week:

1. Monday - I discover there is a squirrel in my classroom.  A live squirrel.  Attempting to make a nest.
2. Tuesday - Pre-observation meeting with the principal...it begins with her insisting I guess how much she weighs.  Um...no.  I refuse to guess how much my female boss weighs.  That's ok, she told me anyway...
3. Wednesday - ( Read more... )

So...I've decided to create a blog.  That way I can share my thoughts with the world in an organized, classy way.

Anyway, I'm staying safely anonymous on it - there will be no mention of either my real name or any of my Internet aliases.  That way I don't have to be concerned in any way, shape, or form with the possibility of my words/thoughts/ ( Read more... )

As I mentioned in my previous post, today was my dad's birthday...the good news is that he apparently enjoyed male-bonding time with my brother, who took him to see "The Expendables" (just for some brainless fun, not for any kind of...plot), he seemed to like his present (a GPS), and he had his favorite dinner (stuffed cabbage) followed by his ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've posted, so...let the update begin.

I'm disappointed to say that I've been pretty lazy this month...I had intended on writing a book, but that doesn't seem to be happening.  I've tried several times, but I really need to be in the right mindset, and unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to get there.  Either that or my ( Read more... )
