Let's hear it for the girl!
On this day in history, a stupendous young woman was born in a quiet city in Wisconsin. Twenty-five years later, we celebrate her entrance into the world by means of a fabulous group dinner at Olive Garden and entertaining party back at her cozy abode. So, raise up your voices in a joyful chorus, shouting for all the earth to hear:
"HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY, TRICIA!"

I want to stay inside
Seriously. It sucks outside. It's hot, humid, and about one degree hotter out there than it is inside our apartment. That ONE degree is enough reason for me to have barely ventured into the out-of-doors the past couple days. Geez...tomorrow's already Monday...and Sept. 12...shit, we're almost halfway through September. Time is cruising past my window with no sign of slamming the breaks or even coasting.
Last week I began my first official FULL TIME JOB. And I have to say overall: it rocked. Naturally there are kids that are pains in the ass, but for the most part, they're a bunch of good kids I won't mind teaching for a year or two. The only kicker is that I have to make some adjustments for some special ed and ELL students. I found some materials that I think will help, including a history book written in Spanish, so that one of the students has a supplement to her class materials. And I'll find more materials on the internet eventually that will hopefully help fill the gap.
Anyway, another reason I haven't blogged much is because my computer has been really fucked up lately. It will work for a while and then suddenly crash for no apparent reason. It's running a bit slow, but I haven't lost any files and the virus scanner hasn't come up with any hits either. If it keeps on being a bitch, I'm going to wipe the thing and then put the programs back on ever-so-carefully. That's about it for now. I'll try to be more interesting later, but for now I've got to finish dinner and prepare for the new Simpsons and Family Guy episodes. Rock.
