Help!

I wish you were online! I think I should be writing lesson plans, but I have no idea how!!! What should I do??

It was time

I retired a classic today. Remember for my 16th birthday, you got me a light blue collared shirt and jeans, and we went to see Rent with my mom? Well, 6 years later, the shirt finally wore out. It had a good, long life. Probably the longest of all my clothes. Requiem in pacem, blue shirt.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I'm moving in 6 days, I don't have anywhere near everything packed and that's the least of my worries. I have to make a round of phone calls to utility companies on Monday to make sure I have things like Power and Hot Water. I also need to call the lady I'm renting from to make sure she's got everything out of there. Everything but the couch, chair and loveseat that is. My last day of work here at Reynold's is on Wednesday and I'm excited and sad. It was a good job.

My Newkirk planning is starting off pretty good except for the fact that I don't know how many I have in my high school ensemble which means I can't write drill, I don't know what my schedule is and I don't have a football schedule! I guess I'm not really freaked out, just more annoyed. I didn't think I'd have to do the whole marching thing, but turns out I'm going to have to do a very minor version of it. Not a big deal. I've done marching band for so long I think I could teach it in my sleep. Well, maybe not, but pretty close. Everything is just piling up and it doesn't flow with my procrastinating attitude. Do you think a cartoon show is to hokey? It's Flinstones, Jetsons, Simpsons and Linus and Lucy. Arrangements are easy but not cheesey and I'm writing the drill.

Ok, I feel like I've been speed talking through blog so I'll stop now. BTW that recipe sounds delish. To bad all my kitchen stuff is packed away. Love you dear!

Recipe for Your Enjoyment

Since I couldn't give you some of what I made today, I'm giving you the recipe!

Mom's Peach Cake
8 large peaches
Fruit fresh or 1 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp shortening

Peel and cut the peaches into slices. Sprinkle with a little sugar and fruit fresh or lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

Mix the rest of the ingredients until well blended in a separate bowl.

Set the oven to 350 and grease a Pyrex dish. Put about 4 peaches and some juice spread out on the bottom of the dish. Cover with about half of the cake mixture. Put about 2 peaches on top of the cake. Cover with the rest of the mixture. Sprinkle the rest of the peaches on top. Bake at 350 for about 1/2 hour. Enjoy!!!

Kitty Drama

So Wicket went to get her second set of shots today. The vet bitched because our kitten's mother wasn't spayed. Wtf? Then she refused to believe Wicket is 4 months. She just wouldn't. THEN she hurt my kitty. The first shots, Wicket didn't even freak out. This vet, she goes ape shit. Boo for convenient, underpriced vaccine clinics.

HELLOOOOO!

I haven't been doing much lately, but I am going to Tulsa tonight! My friend Alan and I are going to the Oklahoma Bandmaster's Association Conference there. Guess what we get to do as a part of it.... We're seeing a DCI show! I'm mega excited. I've not been to one since I went with Russ and Tiff that one summer. And it's just right downt the street from my moms house! Woo I'm excited!!! I'll give the details later. Love you dear!

Sooo...

When I was in college my dad told me to write down what I did at the end of the day everyday before leaving work. That way, if it ever came to people getting sacked, I'd have proof of productivity. Taking that idea, and this idea here, I created a blog. Check it out - http://physteach.blogspot.com/. Warning: it is cheese-tastic.

Have you ever...

Have you ever seen Stranger than Fiction? I love, love, love that movie. It makes me want to open up a bakery. You can decorate, I'll cook - how about it? Ohio?

For your listening pleasure...

I uploaded a song you must hear on my website. I'm in love with it. Check it out!!!

I just have to say.

CONGATULATIONS!!!! You're the smartest person I know! I love you! I love Ranch Dip! And Ryan and Ashley got to see dinosaur bones being excavated. Ok, that's it!

Eeeeeep!

Ok, so, I was sure I got a D, MAYBE a C in my Atmospheric Physics class. Since I work for the professor who graded me, I decided to wait to look at my grades (they do online only) until I finished working for him. Well, I'm applying to Notre Dame today, and I needed my new GPA. And I got a huge surprise: I got a B!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it, I called my mom, all excited and freaking out :o) This brings my awful 2.67 gpa up to a 2.80! Still far worse than any other school I've left, but better than nothing! In one whole messed up year, I had 3 B's, 2 P's, 1 C, and 1 W. Thank God I've survived UMBC!

Maybe you can help

So the reason I'm going crazy:

A few weeks ago I had a dream that I was getting married. Kimber, Shawn, and their 6 y/o son showed up, and Kimber was wearing a wedding dress at my wedding. Understandably, I was mad and hurt in the dream.

So, I wrote the dream down, sent it to her for a lark, to see what she thought that meant. I don't remember if I knew she was preggo at that point or not. I thought it meant that I'd be getting married in five years or so. She told me that deep down I'm jealous of her because she's starting her life and a family already and I'm not.

Ever since then I've been kind of hostile about her and I can't stop thinking about it. I can't watch the "Birth Day" shows because I feel like I'm being envious. I've got a little hole in my life that I haven't been able to fill yet and every time I try to figure out what it is I need, she pops into my head saying I'm jealous of what she has. Maybe some of it DOES have to do with the fact that I've done everything right and I'm barely scraping by and having a hard time making friends. She does whatever she wants and everyone is in love with her because/in spite of it.

I think the worst part is that I feel like she's being really irresponsible, even though I can't/won't say anything about it. Not to mention that her husband and I don't get along at all. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Eye Candy

I've got a few things for you my dear. First, the other receptionist at work (her name is Rachel) likes to call and chat when she's bored. It normally works out well, cause if she's bored I'm super bored. So a couple nights ago she calls me and tells me to go to a website. She's been looking at antique and estate rings. OMG they're gorgeous, and some aren't to spendy. I've found I'm a fan of art deco rings. I like them A LOT! So I've been looking at rings for a couple days and figured I share the joy, cause... yeah.



This ring is $700! AHHHHH!!!!



This one is only $300!



And this one is $500.

Of course there are some in the mid range. Still reasonable though.



This one's $1800, but it's GORGEOUS!!!! (I'm not sure I spelled that right, but who cares. There's eye candy to be had.

Now they've got some AMAZING rings that are outrageously priced, but I thought you had to see this one.



It's $60,000. That's right. More than any of the cars sitting in front of me (and that's not easy to do.) But it's 5.6 carats on a platinum band. Drool.

You should go to this website. It's www.ross-simons.com. They've got amazing stuff.

Love you dear!

In need of...

I am in desperate need of a good sleepover. Why, oh why must you live so very far away? I believe I've gone crazy and you, my dear, may be the only one to save me.

Public Service Announcement

I MISS YOU!!!!


That is all.

Things You Find at Homeland

Oh my.



No joke. I was buying cheese and I walked up to this. It turned out to be an inflatable dinosaur, but jeeze. They should sensor that kind of stuff. Kids could see it!

HAHAHAHHAHAHA!

Ok, so I'm at work and I just got this phone call from a woman claiming that we're sending her pornography and that she and her husband weren't interested in anything of the sort and we should take her off the list immediately. She would have no part of any explaination that I work in a car dealership, period. It was pretty much hilarious. And that's all I've got!

I got a job!!!

I'm teaching Algebra II and two types of Physics at Our Lady of Good Counsel. David's gf went to high school there. It's a really great place to work, and I love it there.

Happy Fourth of July!

Hey! So you remember that time we went to see the Baltimore Symphony on the Fourth? And it was tragically hot until we got all of our stuff set up and then it poured down rain for 15 min so that we were throroughly soaked/damp for the rest of the evening?? That was one hell of a fun Fourth!

This year will be a bit more tame for me. I'm going to see Phantom tomorrow night with mom and my friend Nicole and then on the Fourth (because by some miracle the dealership is closed on the 4th) I'm going to one of my mom's neighbor's cook out thing. We might go see Sex In the City too since you raved about it so much. Not to mention the last time mom went to the movies it was with Josh and he wasn't that interested in it. Go figure.

That's about the only interesting thing that's happening now a days. Cash suprised me last night with a candle-lit diner on the patio in the gorgeous weather, which was amazing and my cat, the elder of the two, has become some what of a conneseur of sleeping in strange places.

Once again, Happy Fourth! Next year we're together on the Fourth! NO MATTER WHAT! How's that job search going by the way?
