It's been a beautiful week off, but it is going fast.  I can't beleive I will be back at work at this time next week... and preparing for that stupid ELA exam ( Read more... )

 Sweeney Todd was amazing.  Ah... yay for when your favorite musical becomes a movie.  Good weekend otherwise so far, though it's pretty icky outside right now.  I kinda want to make cookies....

The first sentences of the first entries of each month:
Jan: January 1, 2007-- I was sitting at Olive Garden having dinner for my birthday with my family when my grandmother handed me a birthday present.

Feb: February 3, 2007--  I'm a grown up.  You'd think I'd be able to handle this after all of this time.

 I was just so productive, you have no idea.  My apartment has been an absolute mess and I just got a second wind and ended up cleaning the kitchen, putting up Christmas lights, putting some stuff in storage, sorting laundry and doing other random stuff like that.  It feels good, though I really should be trying to wind down and get ready for bed ( ( Read more... )

My classroom smells like grease, I I joined the PTA, I got a fantastic new scarf and I am only writing this because I am too exhausted to get dressed and drag my ass to work.  I have been writing entries in my head a lot lately, but they haven't been making it to the actual post on account of my addiction to facebook and the fact that I fall asleep ( Read more... )

On a happy note, I will be spending my birthday at the Ice Bowl!
