I’m too tired to blog today, so here are a few jokes off the ‘net. Hopefully tomorrow I will have a real post for you. Enjoy! A lesson about blood flow and circulation A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: “Now, students, […]
I have been thinking about how the authors are killing a lot of the more popular characters off more and more often in Star Wars. Chewbacca, Grand Admiral Thrawn (though Timothy Zahn didn’t know he was going to become a favorite), Anakin Solo, Mara Jade Skywalker, and I’m sure there are more that I’m not

Is it just me or do some of the titles on my posts seem misleading. I am nothing if not creative. Today, I escorted my mother to the eye doctor to have her eyes dilated. Believe it or not there were some rather humorous moments waiting in the reception area. There was a patient who

It’s that time of year again. Sun, warmer weather, swimming and yep, you guessed it, sunblock. Lots and lots of it. I was outside yesterday for about an hour and half. I thought nothing of it. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to get out of that school. The weather was just calling to

Today was the day for my yearly review at work. In the past, I’ve dreaded these conversations with my supervisors. I’m never quite sure why, since in all my years working, my reviews have never dropped below a good review. I’ve even had some outstanding reviews. Now in my old age, or maybe after all
Finally the snow has stopped (quick, where is some wood for knocking?!? Our snowblower has been put away, which is enough of a jinx, but add a comment like the above, and I’m asking for trouble!), and the weather is finally being cooperative enough for some outdoor fun. So this weekend had us taking in
We stayed up late watching the Oscar winning movie, “No Country for Old Men” last night, so when the phone rang at 6 am this morning, my husband was overjoyed about the fog delay. I did not hear the phone at 6, nor did I hear the follow-up call at 8 saying school was cancelled
