Guess what's on tonight????

Awwwwwwwww yeah. Welcome back Dunder Miflin, welcome back.

This one's for you Christy

I'm sorry.




I'm really really sorry.

I haven't posted in a really long time. I have reasons:

1. My computer is still broken (but hopefully on the mend as we speak)

2. I've sold my prep and am teaching 7, count 'em 7 Sophomore English classes. (Seriously, I deserve a medal or some sort of baked tribute. Really. I am NOT looking forward to teaching this many kids research papers. There may be lives lost, orrrrr I'll get really whiny.)

3. I'm not feelin' it enough to stay after school even longer than I currently have to in order to post on the blog.

When one or two of these three things change, I'll be back at it. I promise.

Me Today....

But hopefully not tomorrow.

Recurring Nightmares....

1. Showing up to a final in college for a class that I forgot I'd signed up for and never attended. I arrive with 1 ripped piece of paper and a little stubby pencil. The test is book length and when it starts the professor says "You may use your notes on the final." At that point everyone in class pulls out 5" binders full of notes and I cry.

2. I am being chased by a psychotic serial killer who has killed each of my family members in turn as we run, panicked through the deserted streets of some unknown town. Right before I wake up I'm hiding in a stairwell and can hear him coming.

3. I go to school/work/etc. fully dressed, but as the day progresses my clothes become increasingly shredded until I'm frantically trying to cover vital body parts with rags.

4. I am required to be on stage in front of an incredibly large group of people to a) sing a song I don't know
b) teach an incredibly detailed and complex concept
c) perform in a play I have never read, let alone rehearsed or memorized lines for.

5. I have written down the wrong date for the start of school and show up 4 hours late for my first day of work.


Guess which one came true today?????

At least my clothes are intact.

Another Apology...

Hey everyone! I'm still alive and kicking, although I'm so tired I'm not kicking very hard....

It's been a long hot summer and without a working computer I haven't been able to blog at all. I'm currently using a computer at the public library, which is an experience in and of itself, but I don't have the time to do it justice right now.

I've been traveling, packing boxes, painting, spackling (sp?), unpacking boxes, napping, family reunioning, crying happy tears for a friend's new baby, reading, painting, hanging pictures, visiting my dear friend Jaci Claire and my new best friend Emma, swimming in Zion's, cleaning, unpacking boxes, painting, cleaning, etc. . .

I would love to promise you juicy details, but I'm shooting for a working computer some time in the next month and then we'll see how it goes. I do promise pictures when all is said and done.

So, please hang in there, and don't give up on my blog. I will begin writing again in earnest asap.

Love you all!!

An Apology and a Gift

First of all I know it's been a long time since I posted. I have several reasons for this:

1. My computer is broken...

2. I've been traveling (I'm in Vancouver, WA as we speak), and

3. I didn'wanna.

But, then my friend Jillian showed me something so wonderful, so on the mark, so the answer to all of life's big questions that I had to share.



There it is. The way a REAL woman deals with a whiny, overwrought, sappy vampire.

Sign me up for Team Buffy. (Thanks again Jillian!)

Nowhere to run to baby. Nowhere to hide.

In preparation for my super fabulous Pacific Northwest vacay with Jill I went out and bought a bathing suit today.

I was stoic and emotionally detached in the store, AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD

then I came home and crawled under the covers and contemplated sucking my thumb. I think I may have hit rock bottom.

But, I will squeeze my chubby body into that torture device and no matter how many people on the Oregon coast will be scarred for life just by seeing so much of me in so little, I am determined to have a good time.

Girl power and chub love aside, I might want to skip the whale watching. Wouldn't want any parallels drawn.
