Stuff or Am I a giant contradiction?

Sometimes, and a lot lately, I am overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that people have. It makes me want to get crazy zen and cleanse myself of all worldly possessions. How satisfying would it be to completely pare down to just the necessities? I mean, where does it all come from? And why is it here?

When I think about all the money that is spent on stuff, it's enough to make you ache.

But then, at the same time, I'm perusing the 2011 fall boot prospects.

What the hell is wrong with me??

Coming Soon...

Labor Day is far superior to Memorial Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and any other Monday holidays on which the working class can kick back, pop open a beer, fire up the grill and chill.

Do you want to know why? Well, I'll tell you. It's because Labor Day is this Monday. That's why.

And, thank goodness, ladies of society will no longer be wearing white.

yuck it up

My First Earthquake

Today, at 2:02 pm at school we had a little earthquake. Apparently, it was a bigger earthquake in DC and Virginia, 5.9 to be exact. It was a little frightening, but also interesting and somewhat cool. Check that off my list of things to do!

OLD school

Crows feet and saddle bags aren't the only signs of aging.

You'll also know that you are old when your students begin to

1) Grow up, go to high school and show up on your husbands high school roster
2) Drop out of school and have babies
3) Think that you are lame
4) Not remember you

Shut up!

Does your husband make bourbon-pecan-bacon brownies for you?

Cuz mine does!










Watch out for the wolf in the kitchen!
