Extreme sheep herding...

All good things come to an end...

I am very sad. The good old RT is closing down. Can we please have a moment of silence.........

This has been a super fun bufblopofo and i actually made it through the whole thing this year. WEEE!!!! I hope to keep up on my blogging like I used to but just like everyone else, somehow life always gets in the way. "Irregardless" stay tuned and I hope to see you all very soon. Congrats on everyone's accomplishment at the 2nd annual bufblopofo!!!! Cheers! Let's go have a beer!

Without ME it's just AWESO.....

One year ago today actually i wrote about this. I was doing some spring cleaning and had to make the VERY hard decision to get rid of some of my fav t-shirts. I love me a funny t-shirt.

i can't sport the funny t-shirts as much as I used too...apparently as a teacher it is not completely acceptable if i wear a t-shirt that says "Cake is Awesome!". Whatever.

Here are a few shirts I currently want......ps my birthday is in october... :)

and finally.....my current favorite!

This one's for the children..

Child raising advice.....

ok no children for me yet but from my experience with them in life and in teaching...here is my advice..

Patience is a virtue....having children will grant you saint-hood if you maintain your patience :)

Support your children...emotionally, physically, monetarily

Push your children...to do better, to work harder, to give everything they've got

Know your children...as much as they will let you

Show them everything...tell them everything...be honest with everything....

Give them all the expereinces you can

Love them unconditionally....

Trust me it makes a WORLD of difference. I see it everyday.

Who's pretty?

Here i am with my "couch partner". I'm wearing my Delaware sweatshirt and grey pants and some sweet slippers. I'm still wearing these clothes from working out. Eww, i know, i'm a scumbag. Thats why Dan is sitting so far away. :) Here we sit on our couch where we have eternal butt prints each with a laptop on our laps and the remote between us....it's a fine life. :)

Inspired

Wow...ok who insspires me. Really, anyone who works hard and enjoys life inspires me, because thats what i strive for in life.

On a note of accomplishment, i passed my certification exam to be a Teacher of the Deaf. Weeeee!!!! Bring on the jobs! please....pretty please....with sugar on top....i promise i'll do a super good job. :)

BFF

Amanda has tasked me with talking about my best friend and my favorite memory with them. I have a hard time with the word best friend. I don't really have one. I mean yes...Dan is my "best friend" and if you want to know how i truly feel about him refer here. :)

But in talking about my best friend i feel I have MANY. These are the people that make me laugh, who i trust, who i can sit and watch tv with without saving to say a word, share a good meal with or even just call up for no reason other than jsut to say hi.

So now a memory....To be honest with you my favorite memory with all my best friends is yet to come. It's going to be on 10/10/09. Dan and I are getting hitched, and it's going to be my most favorite day ever...i get to marry my "best friend" and I get to have all of my best friends there with me. Can't wait...it's going to be one hell of a party.

I'm the winner!!!!

I don't even know what to say. Today I get to write about the founder of bufblopofo. Let's start with a little history...

Mike and I met in college. My sister had a small secret crush on him. And by small i mean enormous and by secret I mean everyone knew about it.

My first real memory of Mike was up at Annie's cottage in Canada. Lisa, Annie and I went up for the night to hang out. At about 11:30 that night a strange man was lurking outside of the cottage window. Lo and behold it was Mike Garvey. I don't know who invited him or how he found the cottage but there he was. We continued the evening with some quality conversation and a lot of beer.

At one point we were all out of beer and Lisa volunteered to go get more. About 20 minutes she had still not returned. Please note she did not have far to go...we were sitting right on the porch of the cottage. Mike, Annie and I decide to go in and investigate.

There she is. The queen of "I'm just going to close my eyes for a minute" asleep on the kitchen table. Apparently she decided to take a short nap before bringing us our beer. Lisa's actions enraged Annie and she immediately reprimanded her and sent her to bed. Lisa took the lashing and gladly went to bed. Loser. :)

So Annie, Mike and I got our beer and went back outside. I honestly don't remember the conversation but somehow we created a new saying "It's all biological". Annie and Mike may be the only two that will appreciate that.

When the time came we all went to bed....but there was a problem. Only one bed left and 3 of us. What do drunk people do in this situation? We use logic.

There we were the 3 of us in one bed. Head to feet. I was the lucky one in the middle with my head at the end of the bed with my feet at the head in both Annie and Mike's face. Why is this relevant? Because Annie's cottage is at the beach. My feet were full of sand. This my friends is how I got the nickname Sandy. The entire evening Mike apparently was sleeping on a very sandy pillow. heh heh...oops.

There you have it....Lisa....maybe you should not have fallen asleep on the kitchen table...cause guess what....I got to "sleep" with Mike Garvey first. :)

So to you Mike Garvey I ask you this.......What is it about the bow tie that so intrigues you?
