*tap* *tap* – Is this thing on? November 30, 2004

I feel like I should explain why I have been so absent for the past few weeks, but I just can’t. It’s not that anything is wrong, it’s just that several things just aren’t right (mainly the fact that I just can’t seem to get pregnant). I hope I am on the right track to feeling like my old self, and I have made a little deal with myself to be more attentive to my blog/journal. Poor itty bitty has been neglected for so long sparks my fly when I try to post this “real” entry. So many times I have done something, or something has happened that I thought “I need to blog that,” but I just didn’t have the energy. And just look at this pitiful layout! It takes me so long to put up a new layout because I am so html retarded – and my crazy computer has “lost” my FrontPage. That in itself is enough to keep me depressed! I’ll take layout charity if anyone’s offering – hehe. I really have missed it…but enough of my blabbering on and on – I’M GOING TO DO BETTER – for me!

Now, ohmygod! I’m in love with Desperate Housewives! I can’t get enough of it! I just hope they don’t let too much out too fast, ya know?

I have been keeping up with my knitting. Right now I am in the midst of a sea of Christmas-present scarves. I’m just about to finish one made with hot pink Squiggle and a bright multi-colored Plume FX. It’s really cute! I plan on giving it to one of the teachers I team-teach with, and I’ll give my other team-teacher friend a pink GGH Gracia scarf. (off topic, but I just *love* the girls I teach with! We have so much in common, and it has really made my school year enjoyable)
I also finished Wild Child’s rolled brim ‘boggin. He loved it (went around yelling “mommy made it!” *heart melt*). I had a small problem with the pom poms, though. On Thanksgiving day, my nephew tried to jerk it out of C.’s hand by pulling on the pom, and the pom yarns went everywhere. I guess I’ll be trying that one again!

I guess the biggest thing that happened over my long Thanksgiving weekend was my 10 year class reunion Friday night. I have had mixed emotions about it forever. I mean, just how much would I have to say to these people I haven’t seen in ages, and the only thing we seem to have in common is that we all graduated in ‘94. Well, I can confidently report that my worries were true. It just wasn’t that fun. :o ( Thank goodness it only comes around every 10 years!

Well, I’m calling it a night…g’night ya’ll!

You Are Mashed Potatoes


Oridnary, comforting, and more than a little predictable
You’re the glue that holds everyone together.

Dear Skanky Redneck Bitch,
I am not telling you that smoking is bad for you and stinky (why restate the obvious), but when you throw your stick with fire! on the end AT ME, all bets are off. Why in hell would you not look behind you to see what you might hit with a stick of fire? I had on my brand new striped turtleneck sweater! I’m telling you, IF you had burned a hole in my arm (where your STICK OF FIRE hit me) I would have sued your ass off. You know, an apology wouldn’t have hurt, either. I guess that’s just too much class for a “rode hard and put up wet” skanky redneck like yourself. You’d be better off spending the money you drop on cigarettes styling your ugly ass hair.
Sincerely, The Girl Behind You When You Were Entering [Chain Decorating Store]
