(Just a little nod to Hall & Oates there, in case you didn't know...and the fact that I haven't written anything since late April) ~*~Speaking of music, I had students doing projects on a novel they were reading.  One of the projects they could choose to do was to make a CD cover based on the story...and choose songs that connected with the story.  Many chose the doo wop songs that had to do with the novel...and of course, you had students who chose today's popular songs.&n...

I've been replying to a few JU articles tonight, and after I type up my response and press send, the page does not show my reply.    What in theee heck is going on.

Give me a 5 Sentence Update on Your Life, fellow JoeUsers.   Why am I asking for 5 sentences? Well, I have been suffering from short attention span-itis lately, so 5 works for me...lol. Here are mine: I have been having some health troubles.  It might be GERD or gastritis...who the hell knows (might need to see a doc again).  I now have an elliptical trainer that's up and running!  The question now is if I will use it regularly.   I have a good c...

~~ I used to swear by Caress beauty bars...then I got hooked on Dove. Now, all I do is buy Bodywash. I've tried everything from Aloe, to Cucumber Melon to Lime Verbana, to Lavender Chamomile (sp?). Just wondering if anyone out there still lathers up with a bar. ~~Christmas went by so fast. I feel like I didn't even have time to enjoy it. It was nice overall...but you know, I really do want some more Christmas. Maybe part of the reason my holiday is rushing by so fast is that I wa...

~Auntie Rose again~ I finally have a nephew. He was born at the end of August , and he is such a tiny little thing! It feels weird AND wonderful now being able to buy green turtle shirts and little blue baseball caps. I will continue to enjoy giving my nieces pretty, pink, girly things, though. It's been over 12 years since we've had a boy in the family (and I'm counting close cousins, aunts,and uncles, too), so this has been a pretty special event. ~Yuma~ My honey and I we...

I've been procrastinating on blog entries. I'm too worn out right now to write a detailed one. I chopped off my hair last week. I donated it to Locks of love(about 7 inches of it). It was getting to be too much hair to handle. Here is a before: Here is an after: I'm not photogenic. But hey, I'm not running for Ms. America, so I shouldn't worry, right? I'll be a bit down in a few days. Why? Chris will be away on a family reunion trip, a trip I won't be ab...

As I am waiting to purchase the newspaper at a convenience store yesterday, a woman standing in line in front of me turns to me and smiles. Out of politeness, I smile back. When she keeps smiling at me, I wonder what the heck is going on. "Oh my god," She says, "I can't belieive it's you..." I stand there motionless, with a goofy grin pasted to my face, not saying a word. "You remember me?" This black haired stranger with big sunglasses asks me. "Uhh..." I mutter as I contin...
