'The Girl in Question'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
pretty decent for a Monday morning so far.
I'll second that. Very pleasent surprise, as my (3-day) weekend was kind of sucky (Major accomplisment out of the 3 days? Laundry. Woo?). The weather has gotten steamy without it being hot, which is a plus, but the steamy still inspires total lethargy.
Somehow I ended up at work at 8:30. It's odd. Won't know if/when I can take off the rest of the week until the end of the day.
Love the beachy Noah!
Happy birthdays and anniversaries to those of you who celebrated them in the past week, and today!
Kat, about the mosquito bites - I don't know if you know this trick, but using a little bit of toothpaste over the bite does miracles to the annoying itching.
I went shopping on Thursday. Remember the dress I wanted for my birthday? Well, I found it (though not in the color I wanted it to be), and it makes me oh so very happy, and also, for the first time in my life, coming out of a fitting room, look in the mirror and go "wow". I know I'm being superficial over it, but... I never knew clothing can make me be so happy, dammit.
I'm hardly working today because of great music and superficial dress thoughts, but I'm just so happy. I hope to post a picture later.
And oh, wonderful kids' pictures!
Happy Birthday Teppy!
Happy Birthday Teppy!
In less happy news - a teacher in Ohio is accused of burning a cross on a student's arm.
His ARM.
What is wrong with people?
filled with hate for that man.
WTF!?!?!?!
In good news: I got to hang out with Maria! I'm happy to report that she's awesome and gorgeous and can toss them back with the best of us!
to counteract the jackhole teacher.
mac is doing the summer reading program with the library. I used to LOVE the summer reading program. He does not yet read to himself and usually balks at reading out loud to me for more than 5-6 minutes. Last night he read 15 minutes straight in order to mark off a spot where they are tracking time of reading, not just books complete. He will finish book #1 tonight and he gets to track them in his little booklet as well as online. It may lose its draw when he realizes there are not prizes. I may initiate prizes of my own in an attempt to make him more of a reader.
My friend who is a librarian used to give prizes to her own kid. She made Reading Bucks and for every book he read, he would get 1 Reading Buck. He could spend the money in these ways: 5 Reading Bucks = 30 minutes of TV. 7 Reading Buks = time with play station. 3 Reading Bucks = purchase a book of his choice.
It worked really really well.
