Wednesday - Time to Clean the Bathroom...

I have a morning ritual. The first thing I do in the morning is pull back the shower curtain and check for spiders. I found one on Monday and Melinda found one this morning. I guess the Black Flag Spider Killer spray I put down a few weeks ago has worn off. That means it's time to clean the bathroom and reapply because if there is one thing I hate, fear and detest it's spiders, and nothing freaks me out more than seeing one scurry across my bathroom floor in the morning.

Tuesday - Green Light Karma

There are about 15 lights between my house and my school and the days where I only get stopped at one or two of them go better than the days where I get stopped at most of them and have to sit through some of them twice. Those days are horrible! The past few days I've found a groove and I love the good karma. Hopefully it will continue for the rest of the year!

Monday - Christmas in Taiwan??

I called the Amy I spent several semesters in Taiwan with today and we decided we need to go to Taiwan for Christmas vacation. What do we want to do? See our kids... go to a Mayday concert... get some Japanese style salad with rice and a pork cutlet... Now, to find a way to make it happen financially... Anyone else want to come?

Saturday - North & South

My roommate Janet introduced me to the best mini-series ever - North & South. It's a BBC film and on par with the A&E version of Pride & Prejudice. Loved it!!

Friday - Pink Friday

Garey and I wear pink shirts and cowboy boots on Fridays. We call it 'Pink Shirt & Cowboy Boots Fridays.' It has caught on with students and teachers alike. It's fun to be a trend setter!

Thursday - Are the Left Turn Arrows Only for Decoration?

For some reason, left turn arrows are only for decoration here in Utah. What happens is that the traffic is so heavy that only one car can turn left at a time, and that is typically after the light turns red since everyone is racing through the yellow. Of course, the left turn arrows don't work at all, until you've sat through three or four lights, and they still only let one or two cars turn left. It's tons of fun... not really... makes me angry... very angry... and that is how road rage begins I guess...

Wednesday - I'm a Clutz!

It's important to keep hydrated in a desert, so I typically carry a large cup of water around the house with me. I was walking into my room to get ready for bed when the cup slipped out of my hands and spun around a few times before hitting the floor. Luckily, there wasn't a lot of water in the cup, but there was water sprinkled from the futon to just outside my door. Yeah... I got skills...

Tuesday - Sushi!

I went to sushi with some coworkers. I'm allergic to shell fish, so I got vegetarian. Had some fantastic pad thai noodles too. Yummy Asian food makes me happy!

Monday - Unhelpful Parents!

Garey and I had a parent tell us, in front of the kid, that the kid is smarter than most adults. However, I believe the kid internalized it as "I am smarter than my teachers!" Seconds later, though, the parent asked me to stop talking over the kid's head because kid was confused. Guess kid isn't as smart as those presented. The kid was a pain before and now the kid is even worse of a pain. Parents... Kids... Grrrr...

Transitions

Geocities send me an email months ago that free websites would be ended on October 26th. I finally got around to copying everything off today. I've had some amazing adventures the past seven years. Hopefully I'll be able to transition well to the world of blogging. We'll see how it goes.
