Who doesn't love snow days?

We've gotten a ton of snow the past few days and a blizzard warning starts at 1pm today.
Of course all the schools are cancelled. So who doesn't ever want a snow day? ME!
Snow days mean school is cancelled and therefore my work as a substitute is not needed...which means NO pay for me today :(

Here's the snow falling on Monday and the ugly snowman my friend, Rachelle, and I made.

Tis the Season

I realize it's the holidays and all...but does anyone else think there's too much red in this picture?

Today's youth...tomorrow's future.

The other day at work a resident told me that I "must have done a lot of crack and my nose looks like Michael Jackson's" now what horrible, mean, unfair thing did I tell this 15 year old girl that would possess her to rudely tell me this?

I reminded her she needed to be seated quietly during focus group.

Ohhhh the joys of working at a juvenile detention center.

PS...i'm not seeing any resemblance....

I'm glad this wasn't my mom...

The other night dear bf and I went out to dinner. A few tables from us was a group of 40-something ladies. They were all wearing Burger King crowns that were New Moon print. They were also wearing name tags sporting "team edward" and "team some other guy I don't remember the name of"

So guess where we were having dinner?

If you guessed Burger King (the logical choice) you are incorrect.

If you somehow guessed Olive Garden...you win the prize.

These ladies looked ridiculous to me...especially since they were old and not teenage girls. I have no idea what's up with the hype of the vampire movies...and don't plan on finding out anytime soon either.

This is too amusing...

I didn't mention in my previous post that my teacher is very tech savvy and listed his email, skype, and chat info as his contact information. He also bashed PC's for 1/2 the class and bragged about his amazing Mac.

Anyway, being the nice teacher he is he actually made a video and posted in on youtube to help with our new criticism paper we are writing.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad he is helping with the assignment and love the use of tech

nology...but for some reason I just have a feeling I'm not going to like this class.

I know you are dying to see this video. Enjoy!

PS-for your viewing pleasure he is wearing the bow-tie.

Back to School

Picture my professor...he is wearing a big, red striped bow-tie, a button-up shirt, a gray cardigan, khakis, brown boots, glasses, and sporting a full beard.

So how old this professor you are picturing? Are you picturing a gray-haired wrinkly old guy with his pants up to his belly button?

If you thought any thing over the age of 40 you are too high. My English 221: Critical Writing and Literature Analysis was wearing this spiffy outfit on my first day of classes and using my ability to guess ages (thanks to a summer of working at the guessing game at Michigan's Adventure) he is around 35.

I am not sure what was more amusing....the bowtie and cardigan ensemble or the frequent crazy hand gestures he used while talking about formalism and other things I've never heard of.

Wait...it gets even better.

Actual graphic found on the syllabus for this class....and the sad thing is it looks just like him!

Well I am off to BS my way through writing an eight paragraph new criticism paper on this poem.

Well hello there....

I have created this blog as a place to share my experiences and things I've learned in my daily life while working as a substitute teacher, youth specialist at a juvenile detention center, attending college classes, being a couponer, and of course spending time with family, friends, and my boyfriend.

I can't say this blog will be exciting...but I do enjoy writing so here goes.

Welcome

Well, I wanted the blog's web address to be: http://www.italktoomuch.blogspot.com/

Of course that splendidly creative name was taken...so I had to get creative and chose http://www.itypetoomuch.blogspot.com/

Not as cool...but it shall do.

This blog will probably just be my ramblings about work, life, family. etc. I'm sure you're dying for the next post :P
