Some random happenings and thoughts, since I haven't blogged in a while
1. Had a nice little lunch today with Deb at Friendly's! Thank goodness for my every other day 2 hour plan period and lunch back to back!!
2. We spent this past weekend doing fun stuff! Friday we went to Philly to see Mike's Javelin stud throw in the Penn Relays. That means I didn't go to work! Woo! Then Saturday it was beautiful out, so we worked in the yard. I weeded, cleaned up the deck, opened up and cleaned off the picnic table, put the canopy on the deck, and washed windows. We also got a new grill! Our old one was blown over during a winter rain storm, and broke. We found a sweet deal on this big old grill at Home Depot, and brought it home!! I'll post pictures later when I get them on the computer.
3. Bird was our house guest this weekend! She came Saturday night and stayed until Sunday night. Then, mom and dad came over after church (they're still in our building) and we all barbequed with our new grill! Food was fabulous, of course!
4. We had Bird's birthday dinner on Monday night at Cantone's! Had the lobster ravioli, of course, and it was fabulous. Her birthday wasn't until Tuesday, but she had to skeedaddle on back to work in State College, so we had her dinner early.
5. I bought Bird an "escort" for her birthday. His name is Hank. He now occupies the front seat of her car. I just hope someone doesn't break into the car and steal it from her, because he's sooooo hot. It should be enough to get her into the carpool lane without any problems, though. (picture to follow)
6. Bird went and bought herself a new laptop! I don't know why I'M posting this, but I am, because it's cool. Now that she's got a new laptop, she might even be able to get online, read my blog, and leave complaints about how my blogs are always too long!! It's a neat little Gateway laptop, very sleek and sexy looking. She had the Geek Squad outfit it for her with all the stuff she'll need.
7. Monday was the most horriblest day at work ever. I had to come back and read my sub report, and it was not pretty. Just when I think I'm making progress with these little delinquents, things go to crap and I have to pick up the pieces all over again.
8. There are only 26.5 days of school left, after today. Then 1 day of in-service, and I am SOOOO outtie!
9. Last week, a kid in my class smelled so bad, that I actually threw up.
10. I am currently having my students watch a black and white movie on Martin Luther. It's an Academy Award winning film. It just happens to be from like...1930.
11. I have a nice farmers tan going on. I'm going to look really, really really funny the first time I wear a bathing suit.
12. Mike thought it would be funny to give me a hickey on my left arm. He was wrong.
13. Today is Kazakhstan Day in Kazakhstan.
14. I sent a kid out in the hall today to wait for me until I could go out and talk to him about his disruptive behavior. When I got out there, the principal was reaming him out, because he found the kid laying on the floor throwing a ball against the wall.
15. I'm the timekeeper and score keeper for our Girls Lacrosse Team here at Palmyra. The team is not very good. But I get paid $27 per game.
16. Chelsi came to mutual on Tuesday. It's been almost a year since she'd been to church. HOORAY!
17. My overhead projector broke twice this morning.
18. Chrysta gave me some free stuff. I like free stuff. Especially from Chrysta, because she has VERY GOOD TASTE!
19. I applied for a job as a CSR at Cindy Rowe auto glass. It's 5 minutes from my house, they pay over $10/hr to sit at a desk and answer phones. I think I can handle that, for now at least. Plus, I'd get to work with Melissa Wilkerson (formerly Holland).
20. I also bought Bird a pair of Sunglasses for her Birthday, that look just like the goggles from the new version of Charley and the Chocolate Factory, in the scene where they mess around with the televisions, and Mike Teevee gets sent by television. They rock.
21. Dad told me that I'm his favorite child. Ok, not really, but I can just tell:) (haha, jokes)
22. My new car battery works very well. My car starts, and everything!
23. I make lots of lists. My life revolves around lists. I am looking forward to eliminating my "To Do" lists at PHS. They are really, really long.
24. The Candidates who are going for my job have to come in and teach my 2nd and 6th period classes on Monday and Tuesday of next week. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
But no, seriously, good luck with that!
25. I'm 25 years old, so I felt that I couldn't stop at 24. So...hmmm...one more random thing...Ah yes. I'm going to buy a wheelbarrow tomorrow!
That's all, folks!

Sorry the "free stuff" didn't come wrapped, but I'm glad you like the items sent. The green thing seemed sporty enough for you to not feel cheesy carrying it when it's full of the kinds of items that you'll need to put in it. The other item is known for having really tall handles so you won't break your back bending over to use it someday when you need to. Sorry it's not a 2008 (I got it close-out for 2006 off German eBay), but it IS new, never-used, and the Euro version comes with more accessories than the US version.
Also, take a jar of peanut butter and a spoon to work. It will help with the stinky student problem.
This blog and comment are both very suspicious. That is all I will say.
Lylla, I love you and I think you're weird.
I just re-read it and again. VERY suspicious. So much suspicious-ness. So much.
Lunch WAS very fun. I noticed you didn't mention the bowling alley and the steal we got on 25-cent pitchers of leftover St. Patty's Day green beer. THAT was a deal -- four pitchers for a buck! I wish you could have seen the face on the worker-lady when you shot put that 6-pound neon pink ball for a strike. TURKEY! It's all good -- you needed to get back to school anyway. What a way to blow off some "6th period" steam. Good times.
And hey, why didn't I see your hickey? I would have shown you mine, had I been branded by my true love. (Note to self: get branded by true love.)
I recommend you don't smell my granddad.
And yes, it's good to be #1. (No offense to those of you #2 and lower.) :-)
Deb
P.S. I got punked.
Here, here Anna! I've been suspicious ever since Lylla's comment on Chrysta's blog.... Deb - I'm intrigued. There better be a forthcoming post, your adoring public awaits!
Sorry -- what happens in Palmyra stays in Palmyra.
