I was bad

I was bad in my spending tendencies yesterday, but I am going to look so nice, when the time comes.

You know it is a big news day...

The noon news just reported that Waffle House is open all 24 hours of New Years Day.

Late Night = Long

So I'm trying to remember that line from 'When Harry Met Sally' - It's the last day of the last decade - blah blah blah.

Last night I saw people that spread my social circle over the entire decade, which is odd in the past nine days I've seen more people and spoken to more than I'd have ever imagined. And there's been some mulling in my mind. No real decisions just straight up facts.

I could relish on what did not happen and I could celebrate what did happen. Really though for me a New Year is just another day on the calendar when I wake up and can do something. I almost think that we should celebrate Leap Year Days too. "Whoa a whole extra day to make a difference!"

I went to a speech one time given by Hyrum Smith - or the guy from Franklin Covey - they make planners. He said something that sticks with me always - "Time is merely measured Chaos." I have to use my Chaos appropriately. Will I do that? Some days I do a mighty fine job and others, I know I wasted some of my precious seconds. I'm realistic enough to know my organized chaos overall is used wisely.

One label I could give 2009, the year I didn't kiss anyone. Are you shocked? In hindsight I am, but not surprised after reflection. Where did the men go or what was wrong with me? Though tonight I as I did go see 'New Moon' with the BFF, I realized I am smart enough to know life isn't like the movie or book. It was fiction. But is it wrong to want a little of that? I sure hope not.

One label could be the year I made an effort. I tried to be nice to lots of people. I will continue to be nice. More importantly I want to keep those that mean something close to me. Stop making excuses. I loved visiting with Jess again, I need to see Stephanie again, and I need to love my family - more than I do.

The year I found my career. I had one grown up job in one small place. I liked it, but I knew there was more. I found more and with it came a lot more stuff. I have learned that I can be hardworking and fight for what I want. Though the bossman might not like it if I do. I've said it once and I'll probably say it again. I have to fight for my students since they cant fight for themselves.

While the dynamo is still working I need to finish up as kitty is looking at me to lay down and go to sleep. I do feel energized recently as I've been learning from people across the 'interwebs' that I can get out of sharing as much as I put in. So if you read this - my final label - 'Thank you'

and good night!

guilty of being a PerezHilton junkie

So I do read gossip rags, but this video was posted on Perez's blog and it was awesomesauce...

My Love Mraz and my pull for The Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, Kanye, and the weekend of Lady Gaga overload...are some of the ways I want to remember 2009.

Hello Draco

Tom Felton on the HBP Special Features = HOT!

There is rain and wind

But I know I am safe

...and that this is a pathetic excuse for a blog post.

Oy, its day six of sixteen.

Three things I am certain of

1 - I made chocolate pudding and didn't burn it.

2 -There are not enough bobby pins to tame my bangs.

3 - I have lost someone who used to be one of my closest friends and I am surprisingly okay with it.

Christmas Notes and you know when...

Thursday at school was the Christmas Program - we had a guest sing "O Holy Night" and I cried as did one of my 5 year olds Ariana.

Also Thursday I realized I taught in the 'hood when...
The PTA gave the teachers Captain D's gift certificates! I was excited seeing as how the PTO at Forest never gave me anything before, and Wells Church gave us cookies!
Also each grade sang a Holiday song or two and the only two Caucasian students in the whole school were both in grades that sang Kwanzaa songs.

Language Test

On the language exam today they had to fill out a bubble map about colors. Christopher copies the names of the crayon brand off his crayons - 'Crayola' and 'Roseart'

Brilliant!

Now what...

It is nine pm and I have finished all my school work. I'm not sure what to do with myself.

Is that a problem? Should it be?

Well I've established a few things

#1 - Chantity made me a card that called me Dr. instead of Miss - odd to say the least but it just didn't feel right.

#2 - Kamarious made the entire school laugh today the Nutcracker - lets just say he throughly enjoys the 'blue girl that spins.'

#3 - I have realized that at my work I question things more than others do. I'm not sure if that puts me on a hit list or a 'wow she's doing her job' list.

#4 - I have no reason to but any cute blinky/flashy countdown things on my blog. Really what do I have to promote except the end of the school year, and really thats only exciting to me. Not that I would ever put anything that blinks on a blog, just as I wound never use comic sans.

Oh and I think I need new contacts - they should have a countdown widget thing for that...

David's Bridal is the Sam's Club of Weddings

Regina said, "Put some make-up on before you go out tonight."

Kamarious, "Look, I've got on two pairs of pants."

The snow almost put in the Christmas spirit.

A pick 6 what

If you want to approach someone you may be attracted to don't belittle their answers to your questions.

At this moment my Christmas Spirit is at an all time low.

And when did my feelings lose impact in certain matters.

This and more on the six o'clock news.

I have Tim Tams!

I only use Coffee Mate in my coffee, unless I can sit and enjoy it. It is not worth the calories to drink on the fly.

Effin Bama, go back to T-town

I might actually hold a real baby in June or July. It is just wow...

Laugh or Cry

Spotted in real life - Mimi from The Drew Carey Show

I'm meeting individual needs

"There is a whole lot of issues over there."

and truthfully I do need reclaim my natural life.

Well my birthday is going to be at Chuck E Cheese

My boss told me today, "Relax and just do what you do."

There is a time and purpose...I just have to find it

Somedays are disenchanted.

While other times, I feel like I'm completely behind.
