So firstly I would like to say that the starfish I picked up in Newport, RI smells like rotting fish entrails. Perhaps the entire town smelled slightly of the sea so I didn't notice at first-but I have to tell you- as I was laying on my couch today it smelled fiercely bad. I'm hoping whatever bacteria are causing the smell will die soon and leave me to enjoy this echinoderm's skeletal remains.
I've been thinking that I hope Nick gets sent to Florida for one reason. Guessed yet. You know it- Manatees! I could get a car tag with a save the manatees bumper sticker and become a manatee activist. Up yours Polar Bears, Manatees have got one fierce friend on their side! Okay, in reality I would get a bumper sticker, or some sort of ornament. And go to a manatee sanctuary, or even paint a mural on the wall of me healing their propeller inflected wounds. Okay, case in point that I can't talk about anything without ridiculous exaggerations and lies.
In classroom news, teaching is really hard. You know that part in HP when it says the dark arts are crafty and every changing and to fight them you must adapt (No? Just LP knows what I'm referencing?) I feel like teaching is like that. Today my FAV ADHD friend managed to throw 10 wadded up pieces of paper across the classroom without my noticing. How did I not notice? Because he was rolling them. Grrr. When I flipped out on him and made him start copying the rules one of the high flyers from the reading group I was sitting with goes "Mrs. P, are you having a sour pickle day?" I thought it was funny, but only for a second because once I think of something to stop their scheming... they adapt. Also I didn't beleive this little boys G-mom died... and then I got a note saying she totally did. I am officially awful and changing my view on life. You might even stop reading my blog because I am so evil.
In TV news, on the new show on VH1 that I can't even remember the name of one of the undiscovered stylists was TOTALLY on How do I look? with Finola Hughes. Maybe she's on there because no one ever picked her set of outfits.
Recognize this character??? I hate to break it to you, but Reality TV is a pile of fakeness and lies.
In the BEST news, planet earth is being REPLAYED on sunday and I have DVR. Woot woot! Can't wait to watch the wonder of the shallow seas and the mystical adventure that is Caves!!
In seperation news, I have noticed that I assigned every chore that I disliked to him. Vacuuming, kitty litter, taking out the trash (?! I still can't beleive I have to do that), and cleaning the stove top. Now I will list the things I discovered I can't do now that he is gone:
- Know what temperature to set the thermostat to
- Pay the Bills, bills, bills
- Figure out why the computer keeps turning off
- Plug the computer in right
- Use the web cam
- insert a video into a blog
- Edit pictures
- Upload music
- burn cd's
- and various other activities that continue to puzzle me
Love, Kaley, Kitty, and Nick

another reason to want to move to florida - your favorite cousin that you haven't seen in many, many years lives in jacksonville (which is built around a river full of manatees and has a naval station). :)
Girl, we've got Planet Earth (the entire series + behind the scenes) on DVD! We should have a watching party :)
Also, I would be happy to assist with video posting and/or picture editing :)
I know that part in HP as well...apparently i'm just as much of a dork.
ps. did you read twilight?? i finished it a while ago, and i liked it well enough.
a few things:
-you are a good teacher
-when you wrote HP I thought you were refering to the computer brand Hewlett Packard, it took me a minute to figure that one out. I am sorry.
-I could DEAL with Florida, if need be.
-our thermostat is off- that would save you a bit, enjoying the icy wind from outside...
-lastly, who the heck is that crazy woman with the boobs?
loveyou.
