Queen of Rambles

I feel ill. I just SENT my grad school application, including a 700 word Statement of Purpose. I decided to make it interesting and readable instead of dull and boring and now I feel kind of sick. As a reader I know they prefer readable. It just feels so risky! Well, it’s all out of [...]

My brain imploded at 2:15 today. It was at that moment that I decided to do something I never, never, NEVER do. I cancelled the next two days of my three day job. It was a Bad Day with extra big capitals. I will never sub for that particular classroom ever again. In fact, I [...]

I have been doing some block making in my non-spare time. I should have been doing other things. I hateBLOCK 25 and am not sure I am going to use it. The purple color in the spires is not right. I’ve got it on the design wall and will see if it starts to blend [...]

I totally forgot how insanely busy first graders can be. My big 4 day job was cancelled at the last minute, so I found myself spending a morning with first graders. At first I was a little irritated that it was just a half day assignment, but I quickly learned that I wanted out of [...]

I know I can’t be the only one who’s been getting hit with 10 million spams from bob@yxxxxo.com (where x is a bunch of different numbers). I just checked out the MT Blacklist forums and found that you can block e-mail addresses. To get rid of dear bob, copy \bbob@y[^\s.]+o\.com into you blacklist. I really [...]

My cold seems to be almost over (must have been all the vitamin C in the pie yesterday), but I think I have a hang over. I’ve never had a hang over before since I don’t drink, but my head is absolutely spinning and I can’t concentrate on anything for more than three seconds. I [...]

What a totally wasted weekend. I hate being sick! I guess everyone does, but it is just yucky and I will whine because this is my journal and I can whine in it. I really needed to do some stuff, but my doped up brain was not cooperating very well. I did manage to write [...]

Dratted kids and their dratted germs! I am sick. I feel like a steam roller has rolled right over me, but it somehow didn’t squish me flat. It just left me miserable. Am I the only one who gets a weird ache in their teeth when they are sick? Ugh. Obviously not much going on [...]

My feet feel like they are going to fall off. I hate my shoes. I need new shoes. Why can’t I wear my burgundy Birkenstocks with my nice black slacks? I guess I could. No one would sue me. I would just feel like a dweebo. I’m living in the big city now. I have [...]

What a way to great the too early morn’. I thought my post must have been pretty cool when my comments in-box started filling up. But then it kept filling up and kept filling up and kept. . . . so on and so forth. Thank God for MT Blacklist. FOUR HUNDRED AND TEN spam [...]
