I did a major closet purge last night and got rid of all of my old slutty skirts that were lurking in the back of my closet. It made me sort of sad but also sort of horrified that I used to go out in these things.
I can't stop laughing at this picture of my goofy dog:
That animated dog gif Angie posted is mesmerizing.
The other night I had a dream that I stabbed a friend in the ass with a letter opener. It was supposed to be in a joking manner but it ripped her shorts and I could see this purple, oozing, gaping wound on her butt and I was horrified. But she didn't react so I just let her go, figuring she'd eventually find it and then couldn't blame me for it. I still feel a little guilty.
I washed my hair with baking soda last night. This, plus the oil cleansing method, makes me feel about two steps from wearing clothing made entirely of hemp.

I didn't bring a lunch today, and was hoping to hit up one of the fantastic new food trucks in the city. Based on their twitter feeds, it looks like they all avoid the area around my office on Mondays. Boo.
My husband is somewhere between Tokyo and Washington, DC and will be back home tonight. Hoo-ray.
My ears are clogged up.
I'm waiting for Lorne to give let us know if he's going to be available for baseball tonight. Stubhub has some sweet tickets for $8 in the section we like that I want to buy NOW NOW NOW. Evie hasn't been to a baseball game in six months though, and I have no idea how she'll handle it, so I don't want to go without backup. Also, it's a long drive to Anaheim and back without company.
Pilates makes me fart.
I lost two pounds. I'm now almost where I was before I went to San Francisco. Two days of sitting in a conference room and eating conference food and then delicious food and drinks with the SF folks undid two weeks of good stuff. But I'd do it all again. It also probably doesn't help that the Mods offered to take me on a nice Saturday afternoon walk and I opted to sit in the hotel room in my underwear and watch baseball.
unemployment sucks my ballerinos. but, i am considering a career change and the prospect is making me excited in said ballerinos. would i be a dumb dumb to consider becoming a science teacher? i literally had all night insomnia because i couldn't stop thinking about/fantasizing about it. that is weird, right?
also, we have a jets/sharks style turf war playing out on our patio between 4 angry squirrels, a chipmunk, and random birds over the bird feeder we just put up two weeks ago. we need to refill that***like every couple days because these squirrel jerks keep emptying it by having fights on it and hanging upside down dumping it all out on the patio.
I have to wait three weeks to get my car. I want it now.
I work with a bunch of loons.
Katie, you need the Yankee Flipper squirrel proof bird feeder. I was at a garden store with my nieces once and they watched this video at least 50 times, while dissolving in giggles.
I have a huge list of items on my plate to work on today. However, I only got 5 hours of sleep last night and had to drive 2 1/2 hours down to the client site this morning IN THE FOG and I am not so inclined to be productive.
My honey couldn't travel with me today. I miss her already.
Our new pool was finally warm enough this weekend to play in. I played "volleyball" of a sort with a regular beachball with my son for like an hour in the pool. I got up the next morning and my shoulders asked me WTH I thought I was doing?!?!? haha!
Went to Disney this weekend. Finally had a chance to go by the bar at the Polynesian resort and get those yummy drinks they serve in a real pineapple. Mmmm...Yummy!
It's good for shine and getting rid of the gunk. Mine had been looking limp and lank lately so I decided to give it a shot. I posted about it here, including a PIP: http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/65567722.aspx
I'm pretty pleased with it. It still looks nice and shiny hours later with no frizz, static, or flyaways.

The movie "Angus" has "Am I Wrong" done with a marching band as backup. It's one of my favorite versions.

Me too. I love that movie.

Katie, my H was thisclose to becoming a teacher a few years ago, with a non-ed degree. The process is different depending on the state, and even the district. Basically, I think it's easier where they need more teachers, but you're probably in good shape with your degrees.
You'll likely have to take a test on your subject and teaching in general (there are study aids for this) and may need to take some classes on actual teaching for a few weeks I think? In our parish, the school district paid for the classes, so look into that.

and i would totally take kayri up on her offer. knowing people in education is the easiest way to get hired.
i wouldn't mind a contact Kay! my aunt is actually is a middle school science teacher in MN with 20+ yrs experience and i asked her if we could have an indepth phone conversation in the next few days to hash out the what-i-would-needs and how-long-it-would-takes. hopefully that will give me a lot of the state specifics.
i have been able to find information on the licensing exams, but finding specific course information for my particular situation is harder on line. hopefully having a teacher's input will shed some light on that.
when this idea came to me it was kind of like a bolt of lighting. it is really weird.
