Substitute Teacher: Ms. Gover

Well, today I subbed for the art teacher who teaches both high school and middle art to a variety of students. Aside from the rowdy boys, it is a good paying gig. My 7th period middle school students are the "rowdy" class according to my outline, and they ended up telling me that everyday they are supposed to have 5 minutes of quiet time. However today, they were supposed to have 7 minutes because they were bad the day before. They also told me that if someone talks during quiet time, they get detention. What great kids. Anyway, tomorrow they told me they want 5, no 10, no 20 minutes of quiet time, and I told them, good because 20 is my favorite number. For being a really loud/active class, they sure like their quiet time.

My day went by fast and I feel like I have a lot more time to my day. Probably because I got off work at 1500 instead of 1830 in Surprise, and also I woke up at 0630 instead of 0500 for Surprise, and also because I didn't have to lift anybody or wipe any asses. Fantastic. Don't get me wrong, I like my job in Surprise. But this is a refreshing break. The difficult part will come when I have to make the lesson plans myself for four science classes (2 x Chemistry, 2 x Earth Science).

On another note I just found out that Picnic Day '10 is on April 17th, making it oh-so-perfect timing for the concert I want to see on the 19th. Booya world, thank you universe and have a good night. I will be going to bed early as I have another day of art ahead of me.

Put a ring on it, and I'm not talking about a phone call.

For those of you who know about my obsession with single ladies, thats the song by the way. Here is something you should watch...and if you don't know about my obsession you should. You should also watch Glee.

and actually I don't remember if I have linked this before or not, but it's worth watching again as well, if I have.

Lunch TIme!

So yesterday I decided to have a sandwich and some soup for lunch. Then I remembered an awesome thing I have, watch and learn:

First,


Then,


Ta-da!


That's a train, cat, boat, and car. And if you were wondering whether or not I played with my food, damn straight I did.


This is tomato soup with tortilla and cheese. It is not my fault that a boat goes perfect in soup! This was a fun lunch, that really made me feel my age, 5 years old.

Farmville via Facebook

Well, I have fallen into a pit of darkness. I woke up at seven this morning to harvest pumpkins. What am I doing on this thing? and why are those bunnies so damn cute? Well, if you can't not do it, do it the best you can. For those of you that want to play farmville, won't you be my neighbor?

Simply complex

So, no work today. That must mean that my Livescan hasn't come back yet. Blah. Perhaps tomorrow. I had a dream about a really cool house that I lived in. This thing was tight. I cannot tell you about it though, because then you might steal my ideas. Oh, I started writing all my dreams down in a journal (because I got 4 of them for Christmas, there is now one for every area of the house I go to, except the bathroom) that I leave next to my bed at night. Considering I wake up like 2-3 times throughout the night, I have a lot of dreams. So far since I started this, there hasn't been a dreamless night. Maybe I should do as my ancestors did and make a dream catcher, so at least all my dreams will be good ones.

On another note, Arrested Development is on hulu and I have been watching it everyday. That show was genius. When I am not working, doing my normal shenanigans, or watching AD this is what I do:

I have purchased this game and I have spend a little over an hour playing it. It is amazing, and you should buy it too! You can give any amount of donation you want until the 15th. I spent a dollar. $1 + free time = crayon physics! Here is a trailer.

New job

So I just finished doing all the paper work to be a substitute teacher. Alturas children beware! Just kidding, I think I will be an awesome stand in. Hopefully, I will get to work like a mad woman and then I can move.

Aunt Lori's Dinner

So we had a birthday dinner for Aunt Lori and we made some bomb ass food and had a pretty good time. This is me with Hailey's puppy, Rosebud. Aren't we adorable!

This is Hailey's hand. Under the table. I am a genius.


And then came dinner! Booya. I made these appetizers, based on something my Aunt Didi makes for Christmas Eve dinner.

Michelle made this yummy macaroni salad, it was bomb with hot sauce.

Ash made these fried chicken pieces, which were much better than KFC.

Mashed potatoes and gravy, sweetness. This is the gravy that Ash yelled at me over, :). Her gravy is pretty much the best gravy I have never tasted, but something happened with the chicken grease, and we had to start from scratch which must have been pretty frustrating, since Ash was left to cook everything by herself. I tried to help. Ops. Everyone thought it still tasted amazing!

Last SNF night of the season and we had venison round steak.

Left over salad and some green beans. Grubbin' once again, especially along with a frosty Coors Light.

Well with the end of the season playoffs about to commence and the Super Bowl fastly approaching, we are preparing one hell of a party. Be there, be square, and wear your teams colors.

When I Sleep...

So there are a lot of reasons why I like to drink. Two or the most recent ones came to me last night while I was sober.

01: I cannot fall asleep. I just ly in bed for like an hour, which is really annoying and makes me tired in the morning.

02: I don't sleep soundly. I wake up a lot, which I guess I do that anyway, but waking up drunk because you have to pee is somehow less irritating than waking up for no reason sober.

and

03: When I sleep soberly, I have really bad dreams. Then I ly awake scared of whatever it was I was dreaming about.

For instance, last night I had just falling asleep and I started having a bad dream. I was trying to wake up because I didn't want to dream about it. My body was twitching so much, it scared Kitten and when he moved to get off the bed is when I woke up. I blame last nights dream on the discussion of scary movies and dolls, and how I hate them, and playing with the dogs, and actually maybe also watching some previews for some upcoming movies; sober minds are mean minds.

I remember last week, I didn't drink because I didn't feel so hot, for reasons I cannot disclose, and I woke up in the middle of the night crying. Like actual tears were coming out of my eyes. I cannot remember why anymore, but wtf?

Perhaps I should leave one of the four composition books by my bed at night and write down the dreams that I have and send them off for analyzing. My brain has issues.

New Music Video

I am obsessed with is. Watch it. Learn it. Love it. Betch.

New Year's Resolution

Work hard and play harder. I am going to be a substitute teacher and still work as a CNA providing I pass my test. Save money and move the shit out of here. Go to school and progress. Booya.

Aunt loris birthday!

Today is my favorite Aunt Lori's birthday. New years be damned.

This is goodbye.

I wanted to say goodbye to the old year and make some new plans for the new year. All I could come up with was to say that 2009 was pretty rad, and I discovered a lot of new things. 2010 is about my favorite year that I will survive so that is nice. Everyone look forward to 10/20/2010. I will party more than at my -3/4 century party. If you don't know what that is, that is my birthday bash because I will be a quarter a century lived, lame. However, I need to make money, move, make more money, "settle" down, hang with friends and basically do what I do. If I can calm down enough I get a dog, YAY! Booya, and I wish you all a happy non-DUI-night. I will write more in the next year, my favorite, because I wasn't around for my favorite, 1020 as rjenna so kindly pointed out to me; 2010 so be it.
