  1. Today, I learned that you can, in fact, pay to ride on some cargo ships across the ocean... I thought you pretty much Had to fly nowadays, but that's not true. Which is GREAT! If I ever decide to leave the country, as there is no way anyone is ever getting me on a plane.....

  2. I realized as I was looking at this thread that I had not shared a pic for a long time...

    Here is a pic of me and two of my coworkers. From my birthday a few weeks ago. There are lots of really goofy, terrible pics from that night, but this one isn't too bad.

  3. I got hired for my first teaching job on Thursday.

    I'll be teaching 9th grade English in summer school this summer (thus my thread that I started about short stories/poetry).

    It's only summer school, but I was worried I wasn't going to get it. The principal said that he was interviewing eight people for two jobs, and two of my friends were also interviewing for the jobs. So to say the least, I was really estatic when he offered me a job, for the grade I wanted to teach! (he said there were openings for 9th and 12th, I wanted 9th) It's not a full-time job after summer, which means I have to keep looking for a contract job for next year. However, this extra experience will help me find a job, and I'll be making about $7K this summer, for two months' worth of work, (which is MUCH more than I have been making since I quit my job at the grocery store to student teach).

    I'm planning a unit on To Kill a Mockingbird right now, and I'm really super excited!!

    I start in June officially, but I'm already expected for staff meetings, etc.

    Congrats!!

  4. I made up my son's easter basket, and had some left over candy, stickers, and toy stuffs. (Yes, I know it's early-I'm a nerd like that). So I made up some treat bags for my younger nieces and nephews that live in town, and dropped them off at my sisters. And the kids were all so happy, they had to call and tell me thank you. It was sweet.

  5. It is 32 degrees Fahrenheit right now. Light snow/rain, wind. Tomorrow it will be 40.

    However...

    The entire rest of the state, both North and West, are shut down from the blizzard. Both Interstates are closed. They got 10 inches of snow in Rapid, 12.5 in Aberdeen...but not here!!

  6. Similar to the chameleons in my backyard garden I see in the summer.Cool critters and a cool tatoo.

    ~Bonnie~,you have a resemblance to Reese Witherspoon to me,or Reese Witherspoon has a resemblance to you.It's one or the other.

    Aw, thanks.

    You know, I actually get the Reese Witherspoon comment a lot. I guess I don't really see it, but it's flattering all the same. Thank you. :)

  7. No because that belief has to come from within. If you are happy and confident and feel good about who you are, that's the image you project to the world and how the world will see you. Waiting for others to feed that to you will only lead to disappointment.

    Exactly!!

    I'll use myself for an example. I may not be overly attractive-BUT-I am pretty self-confident. Because I have confidence in myself, I am open and friendly to people I meet for the most part.

    Because I am open and friendly, the opposite sex is more likely to notice me while I am out and about.

    Because the opposite sex notices me, it is easier to find dates.

    That is how it works, Spats.
