Updates

Weight loss update...

I think my scale is possessed. One moment I am 145.6 and the next 147. Same thing happens to Mike. I shall call the scale, Pazuzu, Demon of Low Self-Esteem.

So many updates for my wine-addled brain (YES GRANDMA I DRINK WINE):

Speaking of G, Happy 85th to my favorite grandma! I called her yesterday to wish her a Happy Birthday and listened to G praising all of the people in her life she was thankful for-my cousin Tracy, my mother, me and Kelly. How nice of her.

Then she asked me to send her more "blobs" because she "loves them so." Hence, this submission.

On the school front...

I showed my students porn today. No, not really, but I am sure someone out there will think so. I was trying to keep them busy while the teacher was making copies. So I decided to show them Roman statues, since I had recently taught a lesson on Rome. Couldn't figure out why they thought the statue of Augustus was so funny. Turns out Augustus had some buddies on page 246 who were feeling a bit chilly, if you know what I mean. Thinking quickly, I flipped to the Egyptian section of my art history book. Looking at the pictures and hearing more giggling in the background, my brain screamed "ABORT! ABORT!" Flip, flip, flip-Greek art? Hell, no! Chinese? Maybe. Byzantine? Ah, the conservatives couldn't complain about that. It's nothing but the Madonna with her shiny, shiny Baby who can turn water into wine. Why couldn't I have given birth to a kid like that?

I found out today none of my students had ever heard of Adolf Hitler. Yikes...

Speaking of Maddy...

She is adorably cute and learning new words every minutes. I had read through my studies that at this age, kids start learning 2 words per waking hour. I have been trying to teach her to say "doh!" and slap her head at the same time. She seems to think it is fun.

I have been watching "Scrubs" constantly, catching up and jumping seasons. One moment, Jordan is pregnant, the next her kid is 3 years old. Normally this would bother me, but right now-it just makes me laugh.

I am at the midpoint for my semester next week. I have midterms, a professional licensure exam, and will be switching to a high school. Eep.

Michael was depressed today so I made him his favorite meal-Tuscan Meatballs and bought him some Ben & Jerry's.

Um, that's all I can think of fer now...
