The end of January...

It is sad when the end of a month comes along. You wonder what you did in those 31days. They go by so quickly.

Words for the day: Staphylococcus aureus

As in "Man your Staphylococcus aureus really smells after you hit the gym!"

A student's smile is worth all the stinky frowns.

Are you shoveling???????

OK I know I live in Lovely Lynn and everything, but really what is the IQ ratio compared to say Swell Swampscott.

The other day, after being PO'd by having to move my car at 7:20 in the AM, I decided to try and chop up the glacier in front of the house, so maybe by March we could actually park on the street. First my neighbor on the left, with the 3 crazy dogs, she is actually a sort of nice older motherly type, yelled over to me, "Are you shoveling?". The answer obviously was "yes". Then she said, "Oh it looks really hard, and maybe you should do it another time". I said, "Thanks", but secretly I was thinking, mind your own business or get out your own shovel!!!!!!!!

Then, secondly, my neighbor on the right comes out, now she is about 40ish and still lives at home with her mother and strange looking brother, they also own a crazy dog and house several neighborhood squirrels, and says "Are you shoveling?". I said "yes". And then she said, "Are you planning on parking on the street?". I said "There are other cars on the street". She said, "Well don't park too close to my driveway, because then it makes it harder for me to see out" I said "I'm not going to block your driveway". Thinking you lazy crazy person, if you were so interested in seeing out of your driveway, why don't you try shoveling down the glacier that is blocking the driveway, instead of complaining to me!!!!!

Don't you just love your neighbors!

Snow and more snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe I am currently in school. We have to learn about how to have ELL students in our class, even though I have been teaching them for the better part of 10 years. Oh and we also have to learn how to use our email system. Can you believe it!!!!!!!!!

Word for the day: of course SNOW As in can you believe we have this much snow!

PS the Chelsea man found yesterday by Lee, was mentioned in an article by the Globe. Of course they didn't mention Lee, only the responding officers. and of course Lee didn't really find him, he just had to confirm that he was no longer living.

PPS I have the next 2 days off, yeah, yeah, boo that we have to stay in school till the end of June!!!

I guess this is how it goes?????

First and foremost I have thank Ms. Gienna for setting up my blog. We will have to see how creative I will be and how many posts I will be putting on this lovely site.

My new word of the week is fruit. As in that person is such a fruit.

Gee I don't really know what to write but I will try to figure out something maybe a little more interesting. It is hard to compete with G. See G you win at the game of blogging.

"You Should Put That in Your Blog!"

So I'm telling Katie something funny that my mom said and she says,"You should put that in your blog!"

And I say, "Katie, if I put every crazy thing my mother said in my blog I wouldn't have time to do anything else."

And she says, "You should still put that in your blog!"

OK. So then I tell her about a blog I saw that those mental cases from The Amazing Race made, which includes a post from the male mental case that says he is very sorry for the way he treated the female mental case but he has a medical condition and it was the medication.

And Katie says, "You should put that in your blog!"

And I tried to explain how that wouldn't really go in my blog, because my blog is about writing and photography.

And she says, "You should still put that in your blog!"

And it goes on and on like this for a very long time, until I finally say, "You should get your own damn blog."

And she says, "I should! You could make one for me!"

So I did. And this is Katie's "You Should Put That in Your Blog" Blog. But I'm not writing all the entries, Katie. You're going to have to pull your own weight around here. But, just to get you started:
