On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Work is sending me to Hobart IN for three and a half weeks. Yay?

Well, at least I can hope for a couple of weekend days free, and it looks like it's an easy train ride into Chicago.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jesus chalupa! I'm using that one.

I don't even know where Hobart IN is. And I'm from Indiana.

Just southeast of Gary.

I have to admit, when they said "Hobart" my first thought was "Tasmania?"

Jesus chalupa!

TOTALLY. Especially if you say it as Hay-Zeus instead of Jesus.

One of my girls yelled, "I HATE JESUS!" because the kid next to her (Hay-Zeus) bumped her arm and made her mess up her venn diagram. My school is often insane-o.
