So the husband and I went to our local mall to pick up our school supply list and discovered that all the K-6 lists had been filled. Sweet! We picked up a list for a young lady in the 10th grade and will make our bi-monthly pilgrimage to the mecca of shopping–Target–to get the goods.

A good friend passed on this great opportunity to do good all year round. No books to give? They take generic school supply donations so go ahead steal some paper and pencils from the supply closet at work for a good cause.

I don’t know math but I do know adolescents and if you add this recent campaign spot from John McCain with his “celeb” spot it adds up to a scorned and bitter adolescent with access to AV equipment.

Me, after seeing ten seconds of any baseball game or a theatrical production of Jane Eyre: I’m bored already.

I really hate bugs. In fact, I ruled drugs out as a habit when the author of Go Ask Alice described an LSD trip as bugs crawling all over her body. Gross. The other day I completed a spider relocation program in my basement as dozens or more of God’s eight-legged creatures were relocated to my vacuum cleaner. Fearing they were not dead or that they may regenerate and attack me in my sleep, I asked the husband to remove the vacuum cleaner bag and take it outside. He’s so nice that he did it and didn’t even make fun of me. Well, not to my face anyway.
I hate when politicians talk about education. It reminds me of a parent sitting across from me at conferences and saying, “Now I’m not telling you how to do your job …” and then proceeds to tell me how to do my job. Oh, so I should be providing definitions and examples and opportunities for application and synthesis? And all this time I’ve been flicking toe jam at them and calling them morons. No wonder no one was learning anything. Thanks for the tip. Moron.

That’s my new fastest 5K time and probably the last time I will run three minutes faster than my last race. The husband got a picture of me running the last thirty feet and it is a whole lot of ugly. It will be destroyed.

In order, three simple goals for tomorrow’s race: finish, finish running, finish in under 36 minutes. See you out there JJ.

The husband’s younger brother keeps sending him articles by Glenn Beck. If you’d like to feel stupider (or more stupid for you grammar Nazis), check this out. An interesting fellow, the younger brother, and much too smart to read Beck.
