Teacher of the Year

This is a great question: Who has been your teacher this year... Officially, and Unofficially  I will come back to it. Seriously. Just not today... Today I need to watch Teen Mom. 

Takin' it easy, don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

I need a break from my email account. Too many emails, too many phone calls, blah! The next two weeks I will take it easy. As you can tell my approach to this blog has just been a slightly upgraded Twitter feed.

Blog Favorites

2012 blog post of the year?

1.hyperboleandahalf - I love all her posts in a big way. I'm sad that she hasn't been writing in a long time but her last one, Adventures in Depression was ... I don't know how to describe it. It's painful and funny and really wonderful. I hope she is ok.
2. What it feels like being a teen girl was a post found because I spend too much time on Facebook. That being said, I wish every kid I went to school with had read this. I think that we need to stop using the umbrella term 'bullying' and start naming the particular harassment that happens.

Money money money

Remember that time I went to Europe and spent all my money on food! I sure have nothing to show for that. If my stomach didn't process the cash, my car, public transportation, and the University of Concordia sure did suck the rest of my money up.

I do have two hand-made wooden spoons from Rio and a new bookshelf... Big Spender!

I'm such a liar - I have really expensive black boots that I AM LOVIN'. Thank you student loans. Thank you very much.



Astonished

I don't think I want to play the blog prompt game. I'm already two days behind... 

MUST NOT FAIL. MUST REFLECT ON THE YEAR. MUST BE THOUGHTFUL.

Astonishment is a big word - I don't think remember being astonished this year. I probably was, a couple of times, but today, my mind is not working. 

MUST WRITE SECOND POST TO CATCH UP. CANNOT BE AS BAD AS THIS ONE. FAIL!

Celebrate

I think the 30 days o'bloggin' will turn into the 30 days o'excuses. 

Yesterday, there wasn't a second to blog because I spent the morning errand running then our cohort had a three hour public speaking session. I realized that I am a terrible public speaker and self defensive when it comes to friendly criticism. We celebrated with potluck salads and pita and what not... By what not I mean two kinds of cupcakes, squares, cookies, a cheesecake and bottles of red wine.

This, like any good potluck, was followed with mulled wine, chips and french braiding hair. Thursday evening was off the hook - and I fell off the blogging wagon. 

Will try again later today.

Fave Song - Long Day

This morning started with a early morning tire change... That made the day incredibly unproductive.

So I will quickly buzz market Chilly Gonzalles' two albums Piano Solo I and Piano Solo II. They are amazing.

To BED!
