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...

Christmas Day has come and gone so fast. It just seemed to have hit me out of nowhere. I still feel like I should live the day all over again to make sure I reveled in it fully. The Eve was spent opening gifts at my grandmother's at midnight. When we got home, my honey and I exchanged gifts. I got him a Steelers mug, some nice polo shirts, some DVDs, and a game called Golden Tee (home edition). When it was time for me to open my gifts, he handed me a silver wrapped box that wasn...

A nice surprise arrived for me earlier this week...I received Tova's Cookie swap package. I received: *A cute Chrismtas card, which I have already put on my Christmas card wall "display". *A very cool Ohio State Conference champions T-shirt. My sweetie is from Ohio, so I love it. Okay, so he's not an Ohio St. fan, but a fan of the enemy (Michigan!)...so I am glad I have this shirt to taunt him with, tova! *And last but not least, THE BEST TASTING fudge ever! Oh my goodness, I ...

Hi, Rose from the public library here. NickyG and Dynamaso have already done this, so I'm gonna follow their lead. I'd really like to extend my Christmas card list to include JUers. Please drop me a line at roseisroseisrose@hotmail.com (if you don't mind typing the painfully long addy) if you are interested. Thanks.

Up until some years ago, I wouldn't be caught dead dancing in front of anyone. If there was a beat worth moving to, the biggest expression you'd get from me was the bobbing head. Most of my dancing and stepping (with the exception of a few times dancing with family at the tender ages of 5 and 6) was relegated to my bedroom, where I could move as freely and crazily as wanted to without fear of what people would think. And that's been my issue for pretty much anything that deals with bei...

Yes, yes, it's silly...but get into the Halloween or Fall spirit, ladies and gents! Here are my results: Your Halloween Costume Should Be A Bumble Bee What Should You Be For Halloween?

I'm not going to write a long review about the Rolling Stones concert we attended last night...seen as some of you might have already had this experience and know this band pretty well. However, I do want to state how impressed I was with their keen sense of pleasing the audience. Every little move (even the weird Mick ones) was geared toward getting the audience into it, getting them in a frenzy, and mesmerizing them to remain standing through 99 percent of the concert. Not once did Ja...
