Derek brought these home for me today. Smoothie Skittles. As if I need another candy added to my arsenal…. Anyhow, the flavor choices are: Lemon Berry Mixed Berry Peach Pear Orange Mango Strawberry Banana But, as is usually the case, I can taste precisely ZERO distinct flavors as I shovel them into my mouth, faster […]
Crazy Corbelli
My sister Julie began a 5 day suspension today. She “slapped” her teacher. It’s an absolute joke in very many ways. First of all, she apparently had a pretty friendly relationship with this teacher (who will call Mrs. Corbelli for non-privacy purposes). She was joking with her on Friday and playfully (in jest) slapped her. […]
Gotta Get Red
So….. Derek’s parents came over yesterday to graciously help us peel wallpaper from our hallway. It was old and dirty and peeling and damaged and FABRIC and needs to be gone if we want to sell our house to anyone that knows it’s not 1973 anymore. After the festivities, we went to lunch at Moe’s […]
Woodland Side
Um… Per Debbie’s “request” (demand): Here is a picture of the woodland side of the garden. So she can show Darcie. OR… She could have taken her OWN picture and shown Darcie and been way nicer than that.
Garden
I feel so far behind with the website stuff, that I don’t really know where to start. I’ll just try to do something daily, I suppose. That said… Here is a shot of one side of our garden after my Moms worked her magic this past weekend. I worked my ATM card just as hard. […]
Back!
I’m back!!!! I have been unable to update my site for some time now, due to some upgrades on the server that conflicted with my code. Oops. A lot has gone done since my last journal entry….. I’ll do my best to run through it all…. my parents and jake came and left (this am, […]
No More Air
They (a custodian representing someone “higher up”) locked down the temperature controls in my trailer today with these space-age thermostat guards. I’m rather annoyed. Controlling the air is the ONLY plus to being in the trailer park. Was the only plus…
Spring Ahead
We’re back. We’ve been back for about a week now. So, the trip was great. But, it left me quite tired and jet lagged. I scraped through a week (4 days, actually) of teaching and spent this weekend recovering. All 47 hours of it. I definitely prefer “fall back” to “spring ahead”. I didn’t even […]
Rice-A-Roni
We are off to San Francisco today. I hope to see DJ Tanner and eat some Rice-A-Roni. I think actually, Derek has an action packed week for us. He’s in charge of all the activities. I’m just along for the ride. But first, off to school for a couple of periods, so I can earn […]
I’ve got to be free
No significance to the journal title today. Just listening to Styx. A little “Come Sail Away”. It’s one of those songs that sends me spiraling back into the late eighties/early nineties as I started high school…. Good ol’ Batavia High School. Let’s see here… I’ve been absent from online lately. We had a short little […]
