i spent my entire day off doing homework. i miss my friends. i miss my life.

I found a better program for getting certified to teach! It's a little more expensive, but it's all online! But it's a trusted school! And I'll get a master's degree instead of just certification! And I just had my phone interview while drinking red wine after a day of subbing! And my day of subbing involved doing NOTHING because I had a student ( Read more... )

Dear SVU,

Normally, I overlook your imaginary ideals of how the Internet works. However, the Wayback Machine does NOT work like that. I will not get too angry because of the earlier "mybook/facepage" line. But seriously, keep in mind my mother now expects the Internet to do things like this, and I suspect other people her age do as well.

Sincerely,

 I finally watched last week's episode of L&O: SVU. I don't think I like the new ADA. At all.

That Nate guy was enjoyable to look at, though.

I was a floating sub in an elementary school today. Sooo tired.

Britney's new song makes me uncomfortable... I'm such a slutty prude.

I was listening to MMR at Dan's this weekend and they were babbling about some contest they are doing with Beatles Rock Band or whatever on 9/9/09... None of that really mattered to me, but the date does. I "launched" silverfire.net on 9/9/99. That means my first domain is turning 10 years old in a couple of days, and I forgot its birthday. So, if ( Read more... )

This week I am taking classes to get emergency certified as a guest teacher. I will be subbing in my county and three school districts in the neighboring county in secondary, elementary and special education classrooms. Hopefully. I still have to get all my background checks, fingerprinting, physical, TB test, classroom observation, etc ( Read more... )

So, when I was little, we had HBO and Prism and PBS was only for things like Sesame Street and Square One. Dan, however, did not have cable television. Tonight, he linked me to a short from Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and I'm kind of sad that we had premium channels now.

At least I have a great boy to expose me to sarcasm like this. He knows me too ( Read more... )

I weighed in with Wii Fit today and I've officially lost 30 lbs since January. I've been more conscious of what I'm eating, cut down on fast food big time (though I'm currently craving a super salty McDonalds burger), been more active and just generally made an effort... And it's paid off ( Read more... )

So, I've been on what I like to call the poverty diet. Granted, one of my New Year's Resolutions was to cut back on dining out/fast food, and the whole losing an income thing has really helped that. I still do manage to drink a little too much beer with the boys and will totally eat cheap wings at trivia night from time to time, and I do eat pretty ( Read more... )
