New news...
So I got a new cell phone - its cool because it is super skinny and light. Also, it is black and it has a color screen on the outside and on the inside. I downloaded "Seasons of Love" for my ringer and Grant downloaded "La Vie Boheme," for me...
I need to send some pictures to it so that I can customize it even more!!!
Also, we are changing our pool to a salt water pool - no more chemicals, no more chlorine! I am so excited! That should be done in the next few weeks... Very cool.
I am going to watch "Ugly Betty" tonight - thats new, too.
later - gator

WTMI
I suffer from "Way too much information" syndrome. I know. Sometimes I just talk - its annoying.
Anywho. Thats what my blog if for.
So. I love playing around with my blog. I think it is way cool and way fun to change the colors and stuff andit is so east to do! I love the way I can play with the layouts. DO you dig the pic I put up? And the text? Col.
I love my new teaching partner. She is awesome.
I watched Chasing Amy this weekend. I'd seen it before, but it had been a while. Dogma is still my favorite - loving the religious stuff - with Mallrats a close second. View Askew, baby!
This is just the randomness of random. But hey, its my blog, so whatever...I'll do what I want!
My principal likes South Park. She gets it. I love that she gets it.
One of my students had her cell phone stolen out of her back pack today. We found it in the trashcan of the class next door. Our classes switched today - which makes me think I may have a little thief in my class who used the opportunity of being in another class to dump it off. wunderbar.
Its almost October... what the????
In touch with an old high school friend... so strange - I have thought about this person so much, it is almost surreal to being touch with her...
So I am so excited - I am going to go watch 7th Heaven - thank goodness it is on for one more season!
Ok, I am outtie. Talk to ya'll later!

Hmmm... so country music does suck?
Los Angeles no longer has a country music station. KZLA, the only counry music station, switched to a pop station this summer.
The 15 fans are protesting to get their station back. Its a fun fight. I'm glad I got my Jamie Jack and Stench back! Maybe they'll get thier wish too...
IN any case, if your here in LA, and you want to have country, you better have the satellite radio or your out of luck, chuck.
SO sad. Maybe someone should write a country song about it.
(RE: COMMENT: Sorry Ang! KFROG is San Bernadino County. You may be able to get it, but technically, there are no stations broadcating from LA anymore!)

Block
I have had such a block lately. I feel like there are so many things I want to blog about, but when I sit down to type them, they just seem to be incomplete. I save them to publish later or I delete what I have written altogether.
I am not sure why I have been so choppy in my thoughts lately. It is very odd.
I started to write a blog yesterday about how irritated I am that people are still so eager to blame a whole group (the muslims) for something radical extreamists chose to do. But once I started writing it, I realized I wasn't getting my point across the way I wanted to.
Today I started to blog about loose ends - how much they drive me crazy. How I can pinpoint specific loose ends but I think that my dreams bring up many more that I'm not consciously aware of.
I don't know. My head is playing tricks on me! And I'm going to be late if I don't get going.

September date and catch up
So, Grant and I went to the LA COunty Fair yesterday for our September date. "Something old, something new," as I have never been to the LA Fair (although I have been to many others.
As expected, going on a Saturday, it was insanely crowded, but lots of fun. We ate, of course, way too much, but who doesn't love carnival food? We looked at all of the exkibits. We watched the horse racing (I picked a horse to win and it did - too bad I didn't bet!) We ran in to Jessica and Alan who took us over to the animals from Jessica's school. We watched a hypnotist (not Mark Yuzuik, who I love.) Over all, it was a good time. Mostly, we just enjoyed being togehter. And we didin;t ride a single ride - who would have thought? Sigh.
I always think of random little things to blog about, but I'm usually in the car so I forget to actually blog them. I have to try to be better about that.
I love that Rosie is on the View. I still find Myspace to be annoying, run as it is, and yet I have a profile - however my name is not posted to it at all so no one can find me, which is nice. I mostly use it to look up other people.
I still haven't finished blogging about my Alaska trip.
I find that I am barely treading water at work- - doing lesson plans literally day to day. I will be so excited when I am actually ahead of the game! Speaking of which, I need to go to work to meet my partner in a while, so I have to get some stuff done.

Back to School
I have 31 students again this year, same as last. 16 girls, 15 boys. I was nervous starting todayy, but I have to admit, what was really hard was watching all my wonderful students from last year walk into other classes. Sigh. I know I;ve been teaching a while, but in my career I haven;t had many opportunities to see former students in another grade. I also have not had a class that was so wonderful as my last class was.
My new class is pretty cool so far. I have good kids. I have a group of boys that are quite chatty, and funny. I have some spunky girls.
We have a new teacher in my grade level, and I really like her. I think this is going to be an awesome year again!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
On Tuesday, Grant and I and mom and Bobby went to the OC Performing Arts Center to see Dirty Rotten Socundrels. this was our first play in our subscription. It was really good! I had only seen the movie version, but it transfered very well into a musical. The stars were hill-air-ee-ous.
Our seats are really good, too! Awesome anniversery present for us!
