Halloween

I am wearing orange and black striped socks in honor of Halloween. They are soft and fuzzy and really quite magical.

I know...you're jealous.

Today I...

Today I made a nine-year-old boy cry.

And I got to deal with a kindergartener who was pretending to be a cat. She meowed and she hissed. But she didn't tell what sound the letter L makes.

Precious

"[I] am more precious than all the stars above."

At least, that's what my raisin box had printed on it this morning.

Migraines

Last night I had a horrible headache and then my vision became fuzzy.

Now, because I spent the summer watching reruns of House, I was immediately convinced that I had some exotic disease.

However, it was just a migraine...so, no exotic disease for me.

Volcanos

I just finished reading Pompeii by Richard Harris.

The back cover has a quotation from the review in People and it says "the blast from Vesuvius seriously kicks ash."

I kid you not...that is what it says. I don't expect much from People but that is seriously asinine.

I am now reading Krakatoa by Simon Winchester.

I'm going for a whole volcano theme.

candy corn

You know what the best thing about October is...candy corn.

Lifetime

My darling sister is constantly watching Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network. In honor of her, I present the best Lifetime Movie Description for the last week:

Falling For You--Starring Jennie Garth, Costas Mandylor and Billy Dee Williams

"A serial killer attacks a commercial artist, leaves her with amnesia and becomes her neighbor."

That's beautiful in so many different ways.

Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart has the world's worst George W. Bush impersonation ever.

However, every time he does the "heh, heh, heh" to end the impersonation, I crack up laughing.

Burnt Potato Chips

I love those potato chips that are just a wee bit burnt. They are all brown and crispy.

If they made bags of chips like that, I would eat them all day long.

Balto.

I have 26 kids in reading sufficiency. Nine of the kids are third graders. As a result, I heard Balto: The Dog Who Saved Nome approximately eight billion times last week. I was beginning to hate that fucking dog.
