9:15 pm - Oh myyyyyyyyyy
|
I think... I think I have found a new .. dare I say it? actions of lust. Inkle and regular weaving. I started my first inkle loom project. After about 7 attempts at re-warping and alot of internal nattering, I have woven about 2 inches. Happy dance. Its small and really cute.
Soon... I shall put together my new lap loom. And maybe even spin my thread thin enough to weave.
The fiber world awaits... its now my happy place. Just wait until I get this felting thing down too. Its felted/woven gifts for now until my next action of desire.

2:29 pm - moodiness
|
Jealousy and I never get along. I am depressed from being jealous. I do the things that usually snap me out however it comes back worse. When I want to talk, no one really wants to hear it. They went through it all before. I just need to remember she did not cause it. Its my interpretation.
Blech, I hate being an adult.

Its 100 degrees in the shade,
My kitty is dying (renal failure)
My broken patio roof (snow) is finally fixed
New pictures by Pixie (grins)
and only 7 days of school left.
What do I do with them for 6 days before their tests?
this is where 11 years of experience should kick in with some awesome kick ass lesson plan other than the current " err.. uhmm. Well shit."

9:04 pm - Listening to liberal news
|
As I prepare for my affects of the atomic blast lecture, I am listening to some liberal newscaster. keith oberman ( sorry if I mispelled it).
Dont know why I wrote that. Shrug
3 more months is my new mantra. 3 more months of my 6th period who drives me crazy. I have never given out so many Fails. I know I cant change their behavior. I know I cant rescue everyone from the firey pits of failing some history class. However, it drives me crazy that these kids are rude. They refuse to listen. I refuse to babysit them or call home to mommy since they obviously wont listen to her either.
So instead, I will just add onto my plate. Finally sent of my intent to serve letter today. Kept forgetting to put in a copy of my SCA card. Now its gone and all I can think of is... ah shit.

Reminders to self: Order new contacts. Wearing only one contact will give you a bad headache. Wearing a contact prescribed for the left eye in the right eye does not assist one while driving at night. Putting on eyelashes are bad enough when wearing the correct contact lenses. Learn how to put on eyelashes to avoid gluing your eyelashes to your upper lid. Or top lashes to the bottom.
In the famous words of Bill the Cat, "Oop Ack."
current mood:  calm

9:23 am - clean up time
|
I hate melting snow. Rather than blanketing my world in the folds of white, hushing the sounds of traffic, instead it melts. Leaving behind dirty piles of ick along with what ever it buried in the first place. Its what was buried and now back in eye shot that makes me pissy. My back yard was a disaster before the snow came. Groaning with the thoughts of the necessary labor and pain, I rather it be buried again for just a few more weeks.
At least while it was here, the "kittens" played in the snow. Unexpectedly off from work, I fed the birds and watched the snow melt.

My friend, Fr. Mykal, is giving me a fully loaded computer and newish flat screen in return for a donation to a list of charities. I get to select the charity off his list as well as the donation amount. Finally, I can be on the computer and wreck havoc on lesson plan procrastination. Actually I can stop being such a whiney nerd and start playing City of Heroes/ Villains again! Poisonous Lust shall finally earn another badge and Ashes will bring order to chaos. Now only if my damn transiberian cd will get here so I can plan what I am dancing to!!

5:00 pm - gearing up
|
I like getting ready to start school. I bought new highlighters, pens, binders, those cool clip thingies, a bunch of textbooks, recycled bamboo paper. Oh yes, I am ready.
The more difficult task is still ahead: getting through 2 days of teacher inservice. Staff meetings are the 9th level of hell. So and So will always ask a stupid question and those of us "cool kids" goofing off in the back will grumble. Admin will come by and tell us to hush. The newish principal is used to our heckling him so we will find another target. Last year I knitted while some played on their laptops. The year before, we passed around a piece of paper and made up a story along with pictures. This year I think I will work on bellydance stuff. Then maybe, heck I dont know. Spin yarn? Work on garb?
current mood:  excited

8:53 pm - subbing can suck
|
First. Happy. Bounding with excitement. I like to lead bellydance class when my teacher asks me to sub. Bouncy... Drills planned. Videos studied. Two new moves planned. Drills figured out including explanations. Sweet set list written out complete with instructions.
should have stopped myself here. Rarely am I this organized.
So...
Went to work to burn cd. No blank cds. Went to Vons. no cds. Went to rite aid. store out of business. Went to albtersons. Found the last set. Went to work to burn cd. copied cd. Walked to car thinking what a kick butt class this will be. Put cd in car cd player. Noticed that play list all screwed up.
( insert muttering).
time delay of 10 minutes figuring out how to burn cds on computer at home.
Burned another cd. Checked it, sounds good. Take new copy and some other cds for the heck of it to studio. ( more mutttering, cant find originals anywhere.)CD player I brought wont read disc. CD player read error on two other discsCD player found faint scratch mark to skip on fairly new cd purchase. Finally figure out sound system at studio with cd player
(( 1st class became discussion based. Didnt get to all the drills.)
2nd class had to deal with sound messing up due to inadequate sound tech.
Students were cool. Sub sucked.

Another light of my life faded away.
Barb, you are still very precious to me. I know you are up there, yelling about the Lakers and laughing, enjoying everything. Down here, we are gonna cry a bit because we miss you already. Thank you for just being there when I needed you the most.

6:28 am - my "new" Classroom
|
For the last 9 years of teaching I have moved 3 times. The first portable, I had mice since you could see the outside through cracks in the walls. The swamp cooler never cooled off the entire room and the ceiling tiles fell. Usually on a kid I liked. The last two moves have been into brand new portable classrooms. As of yesterday I received keys into one of the worse classrooms on campus. Oh yes, Someone hates me. Similar to my first room, 501 has ripped wallpaper, painted over graffiti and a red wall aka 1970's. Its located in the hub of campus ( ie. it will be nopisy and the center for fights). I am not allowed to paint due to a painter's contract with the DO... So we shall see what I will do.
current mood:  blank

Pistol isnt a horse, she is the Devil incarnate.
So you lean forward to go. Got it.
Sit back, she slows down. Happiness.
I lean just a tinsy bit and off I slide.
She thinks its funnier than hell.
Her ears hide her horns.
What a brat.
Hear me horse! I wont smuggle in any more apples!

When we are rigid or stuck in our ways, instead of adjusting to the world around us we hunker down, clinging to a concept of reality rather than reality itself. When we do this, we cut ourselves off from life, and we miss out on valuable opportunities, as well as a lot of joy.
the Black Irish Doldrums always offers these feelings. I always take them and make them my own rather than seeing them for what they are. Granted right now I am pissed at myself for falling for the BID yet again. However, since late June, I was stuck. Still alot of work to do. I feel very delicate, fragile like a seed going into the ground to rest before spring.
Thank you for continuing to give me what I need.
Had a nice, ugly tantrum last night.

I am slowing down. 6 hours to read 610 pages rather 4? Not sure if the coughing slowed me down. For my birthday I received a book from a very observant friend. Helen of Troy. It did exactly what I needed it to do. The story became a movie in my head.
*shakes head* why do I have blisters on the balls of my feet? Walking on the streets of Hollywood without shoes maybe? I adore my shoes and am deeply pissed off that they would hurt me so. However, they will heal in time for me to drive back down to the store that holds my dress to be. White as newly fallen snow, a dress that helped me feel divine. Until then, I shall wear my new sweatshirt. Not divine but still...
And... Ding hit 50 on COH!

That was the last performance at AV fair for the group. More sad that a bead strand decided to hang out under my heel.
I had a wondeful time. Big Grin. Granted the whole LAX thing was a source of frustration. I decided that I wasnt going to let traffic ruin my night and saw the humor in traffic. ALL those people were out to be with me for the shortest of times. I especially loved walking down the strand and just spending, in my opinion, some much needed time with H.
Its back to bed for me. My throat is still pretty torn up from coughing so much. Its bronchtits. It needs to go away before my poor lungs decide they want punemonia. My inhaler at my side, a great new book and alot of oj, I shall rest my throat tonight.
