Believe it or not, it's not a Euro-tastic post!

It's days like today that make me really appreciate my job. It was the last day for one of my kids. His mom came up to me as she dropped him off and thanked me for being so wonderful and caring so much for her son. She hugged me twice and told me I'd go far in life, no matter what I decided to do. When the boy's father came to pick him up, he thanked me too, and asked if I was ever interested in babysitting, they would love to have me, as I am the only one, besides family members, they trust enough to leave their boys with. It was so sweet! It's hard to believe that he's only been with us a year; he's grown up so much. He used to scream and cry when I left the room, and now he was in another teacher's class, and loves to run and play with the other kids.

Ooohhh...

Let's stay here.




It's a Best Western in Inverness Scotland. We have to do at least a day trip up here, since this is where my ancestors came from. :)

Summer 2007

I'll be standing right where those two people are, in Covent Garden. Want to stand with me Kristy?




I want to see this in person!!




Who will get up early with me to see this sunrise over the Millenium Eye?

Thanks to Kristy for this!

She's a woman, not a gumball machine!!

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she's already thinking about doing it again.

I have one thing to say to people like this....GET SOME FUCKING CONDOMS!!!

Have you ever gone to a concert you never thought you would? Monday night Jeannie called and told me there were no movies playing at the dollar theater the next night, so did I want to go to the Nine Inch Nails show instead? I don't really know any of their songs, but I went anyway, and it was fun. There was so much smoke in there too. And more than one kind at that. Every so often one of us would sniff and say, "there's weed over there."

Yesterday I got a phone call from a friend of a friend, inviting me to a bridal shower on Saturday. I didn't even know she was dating anyone. Apparently, they met this past SUMMER and are getting married. I don't know when, I forgot to ask. What is so wrong about GETTING TO KNOW SOMEONE first? I am a firm believer that you need to be together through all 4 seasons before deciding if marriage is in the cards.

I took the day off work today, and went to the doctor instead. I have strep. Again. For the 4th time in 2 years. The doctor is afraid that because I have it so often, that the amoxicillin is not eradicating the bacteria, rather just subduing it for a while. He wants me to come in next week for a throat culture to find out for sure. In the meantime though, I just have to live with the sore muscles, throat burning and skin feeling like half a sunburn, half tickly. It's a strange feeling. He also gave me a cough syrup because I mentioned that I haven't been uncongested for months. It's full of Sudafed, so it will keep me buzzing, but has an antihistimine that will make me sleepy. Bottom line, don't drive while on it.

The other night when I was on the IM, I was talking to my friend Tiffiny. Tiffiny moved to LA not long ago to pursue her screenwriting career. I believe she is working in a talent agency right now. She promised me if she is at a function with Wentworth Miller, she would call me and make him talk to me. I highly doubt it will happen, but it makes for good fantasy fuel, as I said in the Prison Break thread on JG.com. I had to have her look him up, she had no idea who he was!
