We had that exact linoleumwhen I was a kid!

First off, CONGRATS, SLAVE TO ZEP! Second, what made me happy was that while I was going on and on and on about the Dust Bowl in my 9th grade class today, I realized THAT THE KIDS WERE ACTUALLY LISTENING TO ME AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY INTERESTED! I honestly thought they wouldn't be too impressed with what I had to say about it. Remember, I'm an English teacher, not a history teacher. Third, the wine made me happy.

Bummer. I have the same Cybershot, and I love it. I've never had an issue with it, even after my mom DROPPED IT on the driveway when it was less than 6 months old.

I have a wedding reception of an old college friend to attend today. It's a casual thing at a local park, and I missed her pre-wedding party (she got married in Hawaii, so she had a party before they got married). ...and I can't find the invitation. I've no clue what time it is, and I've called her and I've FB messaged her. I'm sure she's busy getting things ready, but I may miss it. That makes me feel bad. edit #2: I just went to the venue about the time I THOUGHT it was happening...I was on time, and I didn't miss a thing, thank God. edit: I'm very sorry.

Well, I JUST watched it. I was scared to watch it before we got the pizza. They said the triple has 18 peppers. We only ordered the single. It has 6 peppers. ...and it was hot as hell.

I have to brag. I'm officially a BAMF. I went to a local pizzeria, one that does habanero pizzas in August every year. I went with a friend and we had a single hab pizza (they have doubles and triples) and we lived to tell the tale! I only had two pieces, but it was good! It had good flavor, and the heat didn't overpower it like I thought it might. http://www.flyingpie.com/manvsfood.html ^It was even on Man vs. Food.

Sales tax holiday? What the heck?!? We don't get those. I need to buy new school clothes. I look like a hobo in the ones I have.

I hosted my sister's baby shower today. It was supposed to be an outdoor affair, and she had about 45 people RSVP. About 30 showed up, and it was too hot to stay outside (95 at noon with NO wind and NO shade). We even set up fans under the covered tent shelter things. So...we moved it inside, and though there was NO wiggle room (30 people in my 15x15 living room, yipes!), and I almost forgot to bring out the fantastic cupcakes I made for the shower), but it worked. Now, instead of one mess to clean up, I had two, but everything went well, and my sister got a lot of loot! I need a nap and a drink.

Napoleon is one of my FAVORITE movies. I quote lines from it all the time. Like at work. I finally saw The King's Speech and Rango last night. I liked them both. I also watched Adam and Steve, which I could have done without. It was too cheesy for me.

I got to spend the day with my adorable 2 1/2 year old niece. We went to lunch and had homemade ice cream and went swimming. She's a cute kid.

Go The Fuck To Sleep by Adam Mansbach I have seen links to this on Facebook, but I finally watched it today. It cracked me up. Though I'm not a parent, I have a niece that refuses to take naps or go to sleep at bed time...

Very true...I was hesitant to pay more for a computer, but I really DID get what I paid for. In fact, I convinced my sister to buy a MacBook too.

When I was in school, I lost a TEXTBOOK. My poor mom bought me a new one, only to find the old one about a month later! It was a medical terminology text, one that is a workbook. Now I (still) have two of them and both are half-done. Every time I see it, I feel bad. I got a C in that class, so obviously I didn't even try, and my mom bought me a second book.
