~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...

How pathetic is this? I am at work, sitting at my desk on my laptop...typing furiously and with a stern look on my face. Suddenly, one of my students comes in (this is after school) and is holding an order form. I immediately know what it is. A Girl Scout Cookie order form. I smile before a word even comes out of her mouth. She says, "Ms._________, I am selling Girl Scout cookies. Would you...." I interrupt her and say, "Of course I will buy some...you just made my day." She looks...

My 2006--In Six Sentences or Less *I had one of the most stressful years in my teaching career...I've only cried twice when it comes to stress at work, and this year I had one of those cries. * I saw several of my family members leave home this year...all departures relating to the military. Two of them (my cousins) are doing well and I was able to see them for Christmas. The other (my brother in law) should be coming back home in March. My sister is definitely looking forward to t...
