Where have all the manners gone? - Mood:Good

Tuesday December 28 201012:56:26 PM |

Whatever happened to thanking someone who goes out of their way to do something nice for you? Or saying please when asking for something? Or using complete sentences when interacting with others in a business setting? Are manners dead everywhere? Is this an American phenomenon? Maybe it's just Florida.

One of the world`s richest men... - Mood:Good

Saturday December 18 20102:00:03 PM |

Plays bridge. Yes, folks, Bill Gates is one mean bridge playing machine. My boyfriend works at a hotel that holds a lot of conferences…recently a bridge conference for all the top players in the nation. Apparently Mr. Gates was not among the top players, but chose to attend anyway for the exciting joy that is being a bridge spectator. Bruno Mars, Grammy-nominated artist, on the other hand, stayed there when he had a performance at the House of Blues. He demonstrated himself to be one giant douche. In my boyfriend’s recount, he apparently asked, “So, are my bags already up there?” To which my bf replied, “Yes sir, your bags have been taken up to your suite.” Bruno: “My prada bags?” My bf: “Sir, I have no idea what kind of bags they were, but they were yours.” Bruno: “So did you give me the penthouse?” My bf: “Unfortunately sir, that is not what you booked.”

If Christmas were a competition, teachers would win. - Mood:Hysterical

Friday December 17 20102:55:14 PM |

I had to make two trips to my car today to carry all the gifts I received. I think I got a total of $75 in Starbucks gift cards, which means I'll be having some caffeinated mornings through all of January And a bunch to Barnes and Noble and Target. Plus, I've fully replenished my previously depleted lotion/bath products supply. I got the kids each a book on Polar Animals. Not the most "fun" gift in the world, but, considering I am their teacher, I thought a book (about animals no less) was appropriate. And each one got a bag of reindeer food. We had a Xmas party today and it was, as I expected, completely insane. Pin the nose on the snowman, snowball toss, and ornament making (which was a complete and utter failure, story for another time, or never at all). I'm so excited to have a week and a half off! But tonight's our school staff party. Yay for Xmas.

I`m seeing penguins everywhere! - Mood:Good

Tuesday December 14 201010:57:31 PM |

Is there something wrong with me? What does this MEAN? Last night, after drinking about half a bottle of wine, I looked over where my boyfriend's shoes were stacked weirdly. And for a split second, I swear they looked just like a penguin! I did a double take and it went away and they were just shoes again. Then just now, I'm looking at a thread, and Kung's avy for a second looks JUST LIKE A PENGUIN! Then it went away. Penguins? Chill it out.

"Did you ever notice how there`s no baby pigeons?" - Mood:Good

Sunday December 12 20109:14:07 PM |

My roommate asked me this about five minutes ago. Then theorized that all pigeons we see are babies and there are bigger adult pigeons hiding elsewhere. In all seriousness. He followed it with, "Just like you never see the sun and the moon at the same time." This is the same man who thought a good trivia question would be, "What are the primary colors?" I then explained that we taught that in preschool and almost everyone with a working brain knew them. Ah. He makes me laugh when he doesn't make me cringe.

Pictures posted very soon. I can't tell you how excited I was about this though. I went a little picture crazy, because, well, it's a really fun and amazing present. My boyfriend and I also made a video, but I don't know how to post a video, so I won't. Anyway...Thank you thank you thank you! I it! And Merry Christmas!

Can you dispute the fact that Ninja Warrior is the best show on television? - Mood:Good

Friday December 03 20102:53:39 PM |

At least of what's currently on air. NINJA WARRIOR! I would love to be on that show. If I were, you know, skilled. I love Fridays because I finish work at 12:45, leaving me plenty of time to gather materials to do lessons over the weekend, get home, and relax. It's almost like having a third day off. Almost. School was pretty good today. We were running way behind but somehow managed to get everything in due to my amazing assistant. Looking back, it's weird to think I didn't care for her much at the start of the year. Now I think she's marvelous. Lesson planning sucks though, because the curriculum coordinator we used to have left and the school's director has taken over the planning. The previous woman would be so precise and ensure everything was targeted to your students' abilities. It's not a big deal, but it sucks more than nothing does.

Why, why, why, Delilah? - Mood:Good

Saturday November 27 20107:56:55 PM |

I got back from Columbia this morning. Thanksgiving was better than expected, I guess. Dad was sick. My brother helped me shop for and cook Thanksgiving. Luckily, we had no turkey to deal with, as Dad got a free ham from work. We made fresh peas with cream, mac and cheese, corn with cream cheese and jalapenos, roasted potatoes and peppers, and a gorgonzola salad that really rocked. I'm making it again for dinner tonight (whenever that might be). My brother's g/f came after we had lunch. Just as I was finishing my nap. I really don't care for her. I guess God only gives so much talent and awesomeness to each person, and she got so much artistic talent and beauty that she missed out on personality altogether. My brother's a different person when she's around and that's annoying too. It's good to be back where it isn't cold at all.

Getting old is like a frog sitting on a venus flytrap - Mood:Good

Friday November 12 201010:30:19 PM |

It's been an ok birthday. It's my first since my mom passed away. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. She's been on my mind all day and I've been teetering between tears and smiles. One of my preschool students brought me a card with a Cheesecake Factory giftcard in it. I invited some friends over, but they're off around...now...which means they won't get here until about 11. And now I'm tired, from crying and having the onset of a cold, and I really just want to go to bed. My boyfriend and I went to see The Social Network tonight and then went to dinner at my favorite restaurant. Both of those things were very nice. He got me an iPod nano for my birthday. I've never ever owned an MP3 player so I'm stepping into new territory. I feel so old!

Friday November 05 201011:22:56 PM |

This morning at circle time we had a discussion on where we'd most like to travel to, and one of my kids said "Gotham City, so I could meet Batman". I'm glad the week's over. It was my first back after the month I took off to go home and take care of my mom/dad. It was great being around the kids, they're such joyful lights, but the work aspect was overwhelming at first. By Wednesday I was back in the swing of things though. I've got a lot to catch up on this weekend between lesson plans and preparation for conferences. Hooray. Today was a lot of fun though. I get off early on Fridays, and came home and had lunch with my boyfriend. Then we went to the park and dropped off three big bins worth of recycling and played on one of the best playgrounds in town...

Cutting is all I ever do. - Mood:Good

Monday November 01 201010:01:17 PM |

Not the emo kind. This is the life of a preschool teacher. I have about 40 pages to cut out and turn into passport books. Luckily, I have Netflix on wii and apparently a lot of episodes of Parks and Recreation to catch up on that somehow I missed when they aired. And a brewing pot of coffee. Started back to work today after a really long absence. It was good and bad. The kids were all hugs and told me how much they missed me. The parents and other teachers were all sympathetic which is better than being apathetic but at the same time, it's a constant reminder and it's tough. Anyway. The main point is, a preschool teacher's life is cutting.

My stomach really hurts. Like cramps. I had sex yesterday for the first time in almost a month. And I think his penis stabbed me! I am quitting smoking again. Which means I started smoking again. Monday is quit day. I really want to be Leela for Halloween. When my boyfriend gets up I'm gonna go to a hardware store and see if I can find something to make an eye with. I don't have anywhere to go for Halloween. But I want to be Leela anyway.

I heard about hunch on the radio the other day. Have you heard about it? www.hunch.com It's pretty cool. You answer 20 or more questions and it develops a taste profile based on your responses. Then it can recommend movies, books, beer, lamps, basically anything, based on your preferences. I'm having a lot of fun with it as my new time waster. Although I really shouldn't be wasting much time. My mom was diagnosed with cancer two months ago. Since then, she's done chemo and radiation therapy, but as of yesterday, she's done with both as they're not working. The cancer is spreading so fast and aggressively. The doctors don't know how much time she has left, but they don't believe it's much.

Have you ever watched it? It's kind of insane but addicting. My stomach is in so much pain. FML. I think my roommate is mad I'm in the living room on Football day, but whatever. I feel like sh*t and I was here first. Also, I pay bills and clean the house. As such I have dibs on space. I wish I could smoke.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? (Supergay) - Mood:Good

Sunday September 19 201011:14:34 AM |

I read Dr. Seuss's ABC book to my class and the rest of school as we all joined up as the day finished, and we had to go outside for some reason. But for some reason the word motherf*ck was in the book twice, and I read it instead of censoring it out. Sauron's eye was also in the book for some reason. After school let out, I went to another school next door where two of our aides also worked and a few of our kids also went. I saw one of my students (4 y/o) throwing his garbage on the floor. I said, "Is that what we're supposed to do with our trash?" And he got really angry but picked it up. Then I snuck out through a window of the 2nd school to get to my car parked on the street which didn't work but had a prescription I needed inside it. It was raining, but a nice rain, and the 2nd school had a bounce house outside. Analyze mine and tell me yours so I can do the same.

Watching the Pilot now. Seriously, what's with Andrea? Anyway... My boyfriend was at work the other day when a man came to check in who worked for RenPure. "I see you work for RenPure," he said to the man. "I don't just work there, I'm the owner," the man said. "Oh. My girlfriend loves your products." "Give me your address, I'll send her a gift package." And voila! I scored like a quarterback on prom night. F*cking amazing! I really do their products.

Friday September 17 20105:46:24 PM |

He doesn't take the trash out Even if it's full. He'll just pile more sh*t on top. His toilet's smeared with poo, on the seat and in the bowl. The tub is covered in scum. He hasn't paid electric in two months. He smells and has bad teeth. He spills sh*t on the coffee table and never wipes it up. He moves the coffee table to the couch and never moves it back. He leaves the tv on even when he's not home. He puts dirty dishes in the sink instead of the empty dishwasher. He picks the vegetables out of everything (from frozen boston market meals to spaghetti). He drinks all my sweet tea. When he's having a bad day, he's downright miserable. He tells racist jokes and expects me to laugh. He sometimes puts trash (like a tea-jug) NEXT to the trashcan instead of inside it. My roommate is the worst.

Pumpernickel, you`re my new favorite bread. - Mood:Bored

Sunday September 12 201012:51:04 PM |

Take that, sourdough! I had a weird dream last night. I was Christmas shopping with my parents, and there was this stand in the store selling drinks. They were foamy drinks made from oxygen mixed with syrup. One of the flavors was HAM! I ordered one, but they didn't let me pick the flavor. Instead they gave me ham mixed with purple. And charged me $11. The large was only $5, and they claimed because it was a mix, I owed double. I complained and they gave me an extra, just purple flavor. Then I spit my gum out in their ice cream tub. I really love Leonid Afremov: http://www.afremov.com/ And I wish I could afford a painting of his. That will be my mark of success. I went to the farmer's market today. The grape tomatoes I bought are tastier than any I've had in my life! Sup?

Does the word turtle-kabob mean anything to you? - Mood:Good

Tuesday September 07 20108:07:55 PM |

Me neither. Except I watched TMNT tonight. Kinda. The animatronics were done by Jim Henson! So...apples to apples is really fun. And made me think of two things. 1-we learned about dinosaurs last week in my prek class. I introduced the word paleontologist and we made vests with tools out of paper bags (took a good hour to cut the bags and sh*t but whatever). So today one of my kid's moms comes in and tells me that over the weekend she told a friend, "Last week, I became a alientologist." Cuteness abounds. 2-"Did you know that Christopher Columbus's name literally means christ-bearing colonizer. That's like if Neil Armstrong had been named Moony McSteppedOnitFirst." Today sucked. I hope tomorrow is better. I love Leonid Afremov. The end.

Why do I watch the Jersey Shore?! - Mood:Indifferent

Saturday September 04 20103:22:24 PM |

I'm sorry that this is going to be such a stupid journal. I'm waiting on my ride to go find a Popeye's. I've never had it, and I woke up feeling the effects of a fun night out, so I think fried chicken will be perfect. I just watched the new Jersey Shore (I can't believe I even watch that show). And a few observations: I hate the way the guys on that show treat women. I mean, the women let it happen, so it's their fault too, but seriously, they're ridiculous. The Situation had a girl over and was waiting in his bed while he ate some pasta and had a cigarette before coming to f*ck her. Afterwards he says, "Um...I um...called a cab for you, so um...as soon as you're dressed I'll walk you out". But he was at a club and started hitting on a transvestite. So I'm pretty pleased about that. I'm excited to have a 3 day weekend. What about you?
