It was a much better night tonight. I did not feel as though I needed to chug a bottle of wine. I still would like that vacation I talked about though (I love vacation). It isn't snowing here, it isn't even very cold this week. I just moved from Louisiana (hot as hell) and I am one of those crazy people that actually likes cold...

Mondays suck! I hate preppy high school senior girls_I hated them when I was in high school and they still irritate the fuck out of me now that I am teaching them. I have two who can be described as self absorbed bitches (seriously) who I think I am going to have to kick out of the play I am directing (or they will wait...

It didn't snow much this weekend; which means no possibility of a snow day, damn it. See, the reality of the world is that teachers actually want days off more than the students do. Although I have recently learned that a town nearby only has school four days a week_they get Fridays off! I think I need to start a petition or something to put...

Well, the weekend is here and it's going to be a snowy one. That's right, I said "snow." Ahh, the joys of fall in the northwest. I just got back from the high school homecoming game (gotta support my students); we lost 42:0 (so sad). They will be dancing the night and the blues away; I will be sleeping to get over the craziness of...

Christ on a fucking crutch! I hate stage mothers! I managed to piss off my first parent tonight (I am directing a high school play). When a kid only shows up to two rehearsals out of seven and the play is to be performed in less than a month, they shouldn't be surprised when their parts have been given to someone else!!!!! And it is...

It snowed last night. We thought that we might make it into October before the first snowfall_but alas, it came down after midnight last night. We had a good three inches. It is staring to melt already today though. But, it was lovely early this morning_except for the giant tree limb that came down in the front yard, but all of our neighbors had limbs...

It's Friday! I have a whole weekend to waste, lovely.

I am tired. I just got home from dealing with high schoolers, whom I am directing in a play. I swear the brain of the teenager is still in some prehistoric stage. I am in need of a foot massage, or backrub, or bubblebath, or any combination of relaxing, quiet and soothing activities.

Is it Friday yet? I swear today was the longest day in human history_it wasn't, it just felt like time was eeking by. It is Wednesday evening_so the weekend is closer than it was this morning.

I love dry air in high altitude and cool summer nights. I have moved to an incredibly small town; it is virtually impossible to go to the grocery without running into someone you would just as soon avoid. But, traffic is nonexistent and I have a great house across the street from a prison (it is an old one from the 19th century and has...
