TAG...your IT!

(I was tagged by Laura, she just doesn't remember--ha)
25. I regret not being a foreign exchange student.
24. I love my left hand, especially my left thumb. I think its because I sucked it in the womb, its very comforting.
23. I've always wanted to be the Mom to boys since I was in 2nd grade.
22. I once told my Mom I could do a magic trick by throwing a bottle of ketchup in the air and catching it. Except I missed and ketchup went all over the walls, ceiling, floor, etc. my brother and I sat on the floor and dipped our fries in it. (my house was spotless growing up)
21. I love RAP music and I'm white. I feel the R&B lyrics.
20. I've only heard my guardian angel once and it was on Good Friday 2002 my Sophomore year of college.
19. I remember numbers, dates, what people wear, pictures in my head, very odd details and I seriously can't help it. It just sticks with me easily.
18. I wish I grew up around my NY family.
17. Seventeen and 22 are my favorite numbers! I got engaged on the 22nd, left for my honeymoon the 22nd, left for my 2 year anniversary on the 22nd....and lastly just booked my 2009 cruise and asked for a room with the number 22.
16. I wanted to be a teacher because I love to grade papers and write with chalk.
15. I love antiques and want to live/build a craftsman style home in the country.
14. "HH" is the only student in 5 years who made me want to remotely have a daughter.
13. I got married on the beach at sunset with only friends and family.
12. I love Native Americans and Amish people. I asked my Dad to send me to Amish camp as a kid.
11. I've never colored my hair!
10. I can't wear watches, rings or bracelets on my right hand.
9. The first thing I do in the morning is open all the blinds and fluff the couch pillows. I like organization and sun.
8. Bread and butter is my favorite food!
7. I've never played an instrument...but I've been in rap videos. LOL
6. College was the best time of my life!
5. Paris has been my favorite place to visit.
4. I've play Monica Lewinski, Betty (from Flintstones) and sang Frank Sinatra in front of 500+ people on stage.
3. I've never done drugs of any kind and have zero drug knowledge/lingo.
2. I love "themes", theme birthdays, theme Christmas trees, theme rooms, etc.
1. I don't believe in debt. If you can't afford to pay for it then you don't need to buy it. It's as easy as that. Try Dave Ramsey. It works. I've been on it since I was 16 and thankfully Steven feels the same.

She Bangs...She Bangs...

I got bangs. Yep, woke up Tuesday morning, stood naked in the mirror (scared myself at first) then regrouped, grabbed some scissors and after a few snip snips here and there bada bing bada boom...BANGS! Then, I walked out the door to school. Still getting used to them. Will post pictures later!

What's in a Name?

Recently, many celebs have been naming their babies after flowers and seasons. Seriously...apparently if you aren't naming your baby something totally outrageous you must give it a name like Peonie or Daisy. Rebecca Romijn recently named her twins Charlie Tamara Tulip and Dolly Rebecca Rose. Ben Affleck just announced his newest addition named Seraphina Rose Elizabeth and her big sister is freakin' Violet. I can't wait until these kiddos start KinderGARDEN--haha get it? Of course you do. I don't know whats worse, naming your child something off the top 10 baby names since the year 2000 like Max and Emma or going the extreme opposite like Pilot Inspector--Jason Lee's son! Here are a few of the worlds worst names according to me....enjoy! Oh, as a teacher, I do have a right to have a "name" opinion. After all, I am the one who says your child's name 8 hours a day and I get tired of saying Rose S., Rose W., Rose H., and so on! :o)

Top queries in NYC....I picked my favorite and made my comments in blue.

According to Ask.com, dozens of top-searched 2008 queries in New York that address the most random, most embarrassing, most creepy, and most concerning aspects of city life. Here are 10 of the more interesting bits:

Is it illegal to spit on someone in NY? (yes, but only in the city limits)
Are M-80s illegal in NY? (is that a gun?)
How do I block my phone number?
Is it illegal to photocopy currency? (only if you get caught..moopid)
How do I induce labor naturally? (if you induce it, how is it natural?)
Is it illegal to street race in NY?
How can I stalk someone?
How do I pass a polygraph?

Thank you NYC post!!!

Are We There Yet?




As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going. Thanks to all my fabulous friends who think I'm funny and laugh at me for laughing at myself.


Be patient with the blog...it will get better!
