How to "slow your roll"

Don't worry, I am investigating this lovely new product. I love America.

To cut or not to cut?

What should I do with my hair??? Here are some options....

I'm also open to suggestions.

God is cool.

So 12 days ago, I decided to move to Egypt. And I needed someone to live with Ashley when I move out. She found a new roommate today!!! AMAZING!! Thank you all who have been praying about this.

This is where I'm moving in July...

This is where I'm moving in August..

typical summer school conversation.

crackbaby: Are you married?
me: no
crackbaby: You ain't got no husband?
me: no. That's what unmarried means.
crackbaby: do you live alone?
me: yes (kids do not understand roommates...it just ends up sounding like a lebanese thing)
crackbaby: you got one bathroom?
me: sure.
crackbaby: do you sleep in pajamas?
me: yes....(where is this going?)
crackbaby: i don't. i don't like pajamas. they make me sick. i get sick when i wear pajamas.
me:.....hmmm
crackbaby: why are you staring at me like that?
me: i'm just confused about the pajamas making you sick thing.
crackbaby: why you always look at me like i'm crazy?
me: well....let's eat our mash potatoes, ok?

Big News

So I have some big news, but I would like to tell you in person or at least on the phone. So.....if the suspense is killing you then call me. Or email me. Or that skype me. Or that do that gay facebook chat thing. (I secretly like it.)

A flask on a keychain....whaaaat??

Thank you, Angela, for bringing this invention to my attention. There's so much to say about the keychain flask. Here are some FAQs:

First of all, who is this for? Anyone who needs to hide their drink with their keys.

Where would you need this? Any place where you would need to hide your drink. A few suggestions: A church service, while driving (this is the purpose of the keychain), a wedding cermony (totally understandable that you might need a drink), at work (enough said), while running or exercising at a gym.

Where can you purchase this? Vegas, baby. Or probably online.

Why?? No answer for this question.

facebook saves lives

Thanks to facebook I reconnected with an old friend. Actually this friend is a girl I used to babysit. She is now 16 and a Junior in HS!! Last time I saw her, she was 4 years old. So we are going to get together for lunch sometime soon. I told her that I remembered her a s crazy, dramatic, cute girl. Then she told me what she remembered about me.

"the one time I clearly remember was when I got really pissy and upset 'cause you didn't say bye. I was like somewhere ridiculous like my closet and my dad was like "wth?" and I was like "she left without saying byeeeee - wail- "then the next day I was fine. "

She was 4 at the time! How does she remember this!? Oh yes, I remember all my child psychology classes and the theories about childhood memories. I'm still bad about leaving without saying goodbye. I just don't think it's that big of a deal. I have to try really hard to remember to say goodbye. So if I say goodbye to you, then I have thought about it and planned to do it, so you must be pretty special.

like a prayer

Guess who is going to see Madonna in November??? ME!!!! We gots the tickets and I'm sooo excited!!! YOU should get tickets too!

No boys allowed

So on the way to work today I realize that I didn't bring any extra tampons and decide to stop at CVS. Well, if I'm going to get tampons, as embarrassing as that is, I might as well get pantyliners, pads--the whole shebang, right? Of course when I go to the checkout to confront my fear of buying female products in public, there's the cute, single manager ready to check me out. Crap. Ok, well I present to him my large purchase which takes up the entire counter. Please note that female products are my ONLY purchase. Nothing else. I had stashed the bag of cookies on a random aisle when I see that HE is my cashier. So he's ringing up my purchase, which takes an excruciatingly long time, and then he says, "Super duper." What? Is he referring to my absorbency of choice or maybe he says this all the time. The guy next to him says, "Wow, I haven't ever heard you say 'Super Duper'." Ok, so this is not a normal occurrence. Mortification. As I run out of the store with my enormous bag, I hear "Have a super duper day!" AHHH!!

You have won!

In case you haven't figured this out on your own....my blog is now private thanks to all the teachers getting in trouble on myspace . So now you have to be invited to read this. Yes, you are just that special. You made the cut! You are no longer on the B-team. If you know someone that wants to be added just let me know. I'll add anyone who wants to actually read this. Beggars can't be choosers.
