Current Mood: Esctatic

I’ve decided to shut down my blog. There are various reasons. I have a host that sucks monkey balls and am tired of dealing with them. That’s first and foremost. I refuse to give them any more money.

It was a really tough decision, but I blame it all on Facebook and, well, I have a life. I don’t have time to blog anymore. I don’t have much to say and the world of quick statuses on twitter and Facebook make blogging obsolete. The way I look at it as this…

I’ve made so many wonderful friends through this blog. We are all now friends IRL on that social network…it’s so much easier to control and well, I’d rather share stories with friends. Not dickheads.

Not so sure how long this will be up…but…until then…if you know me, you know where to find me and if you don’t, I clearly don’t want you to find me. How ’bout that!

So long.

Of course, I could not let this day go without a blog post. First, Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served and sacrificed so much.

Today, is also a well deserved day off. I held my breath for it to arrive and thankfully I made it. It was a long week, even though Monday I was out for a writing conference and ha three days in the classroom. Unfortunately, it’s never the kids that make the school year seem so long. It’s the incompetent people who somehow seem to be able to maintain a job without doing it. Ugh. I am sure that happens everywhere, it just sickens my stomach when kids are involved.

Other than that, this 11.11.11 has been wonderful. I had my regular diabetic blood check and the girl who did it was fantastic. I never knew the needle went in. Then I hit the grocery store and they were selling floral bouquets for $2.00. Most were Fall flowers, but each bouquet had two red roses. So, for $4.00 my day was made. Now I am hanging out at home, simmering spaghetti sauce, drinking peppermint mocha coffee and am listening to the leaves rustle outside, the dogs snoring by my feet (they are doing great btw) and the clock ticking on the wall. Silence is bliss.

Enjoy your day!

Current Mood: Cool

I was reminded today that I haven’t been blogging very much. Truth be told, I guess I do blog for others, just not for myself and when I don’t’ see comments, I kind of lose interest. Which brings me to a funny. I was reading my blog today and it said that the comments function was turned off. Whoops! So, I went into the posts to change that it it shows that my posts do allow comments. If that’s not a sign, I don’t’ know what is! I will say that I’ve been doing weekly blogging at my photography site. I’d be more than happy to share that with the folks that I know. Drop me an email if for some reason you can’t comment again on this post. And I am still on FB, addicted. You can catch me there also.

Yesterday was the “see next spring” cruise on the lake. Time to focus on the house, school and whatever else life has to offer these next six months.

Current Mood: Brilliant

I’ve been here…I am online all the time. I’m on fooking Facebook nearly every waking moment. I can’t help it…watching everyone is like a train wreck. I know I shouldn’t do it, but I want to see what the outcome is going to be with some of the people I follow. Sadly, I can’t comment there like I do here. Oh, I’ve done it, but have had drastic results. People can’t handle the truth. Whew doggie…let me tell you what. I need to stick to blogging. I can comfortably rip assholes here without anyone taking offense…or, rather, without me giving a shit.

School has been keeping me busy. This is the big year. My advisees are seniors. I am preparing their senior trip, and all of the major events of the year, including graduation. I was just invited to speak at the NHS Induction, which touched me very deeply. The kids wanted me. Wow. The class president has already asked me if I would do a speech at graduation introducing her. I am going to be an Ugly Crying Snot Bubbly Mess this year.

All is good on the home front. Mr. Chatty and I just celebrated sixteen years of marriage. Go us! Double Trouble is doing well too. We are taking the boat out of the water on Saturday. One last ride? I hope so. Boating…oh the drama…that’s a story for another day. Let’s just say I will miss the boat, but not the boat load of shit that came with it this year. There is something said for just day boating and going home. Women are bitches…drama filled bitches. Why does it always find me?

OK, that’s all for now. Enjoy and bask in all of my bloodiness!

Current Mood: Meh

Yes, I’ve turned into the blogger who posts and runs and doesn’t return for a long length of time. Well, in my defense, I was writing while everyone else went through their blog absences and nobody was reading. Yeah, I’ll admit it…I write for me, but I also write for you…and well, if there is no you…get it? Facebook has really taken over the blogging aspect for me. Most of you are my FB friends and you know what’s going on in my life anyway.

Today was the third day of school. Tomorrow and Monday are holidays. So glad to have whipped them into shape, only to go back into summer mode. Then start after Labor Day is my wish. So, after having stellar kids last year (personalities too), I have a bunch of dolts and it’s bumming me out. I am very animated in my room…humor is HUGE for me as is kids getting up and participating and having fun. I have an activity that requires kids to recite Shakespeare, but they all have to wear a clown nose. That way the playing field is even. I’ve always had kids who LOVE this activity. Today, they all bitched, moaned, refused to do it and threw them away (yeah, how about teachers who spend their own money on stuff). I couldn’t believe it. NEVER ever has this happened. I have heard since these kids were in the sixth grade they were tough little bastards. I was hoping they had grown out of it by tenth grade.

Please let this be a good year…I’ve been the head advisor for the Class of ’12 since they were in ninth grade. I have a feeling this will be the highlight of my year. I hope they all snap out of it.

There are issues with my new hosting server. Can you see this?

Nevermind – you should see it now. I changed themes. Thanks to Michel for bringing this to my attention a week ago!!
