So, my car is on its last wheels. Brakes are in serious need of repair, electrical issues are making the horn go off at times other than when I push it (for instance, when I start the car, hit speed bumps or potholes, or leave the turn signal on for too long), the A/C has't worked for at least a year, the heat works but...

You could probably find a car with all of those qualities except maybe a six cyl that gets 30/25. It sounds like you current ride has loved a long and tumultuous life and is ready for that great Sonic in the sky. Good hunting.

Great Call! You've inspired me to do a YouTube search for "Sheena is a Punk Rocker"!
My eye is post Basel Cell Carcinoma removal surgery. I'm free and clear and healing fine.

well, it was the impetus/inspiration for Spawn's given name - - thank heaven she was born a she; Atticus would be quite a cross to bear for a boy - - I'm even more proud that the name totally fits her

You always have interesting stuff to say. It would be worth a shot to post more often.

I'm sure I had more ambitious goals previously, but now...
a) don't get sucked into WoW
b) never get sick again.
Okay. Maybe that's still damn ambitious.
Also, yes. make a blog. Join the world of non-blogging bloggers. horray

I need to rant.
In a college paper, one should not use the sentence "However, we all are guilty of using [television] as a baby sitter maybe like once or twice, but its not a permanent babysitter."
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
To break it down:
1. Where [television] is written, she completely forgot to use either that word or just a fucking article
2. "maybe like...

I love this.
The angry ranting snarky delightful part, not the bad parts.
I've seen so much bad writing in college it's....damn disheartening. Especially when people start writing college papers with chatspeak. WTF? (oops)
Copy editing for the newspaper has been....a singular experience.

Can I just say that I love little kids?
Friday AM I was at the day care. A two year old was dropped off all decked out in a really cute Halloween outfit. I kid you not, this is how our conversation went:
Kiwi: [Girl], I love your shirt! It's so pretty!
Girl: Thank you! *proceeds to make faces and sort of shift her leg...

I was playing with those words in my head also. I'm going to go back and edit it but I am feeling good. How about you?
yossarian_22:
I love wordplay and think it's funny that you do too! This makes me curious about brain chemistry related to language centers given our previous conversation about this.
It's my birthday! I am now legal to buy alcohol!... not that I will, but I could if I wanted to.

Happy belated Birthday! The jack-o-lantern is my 11-month-old and her 3 teeth.

They were very apologetic after telling me what happened, and I screamed at them for a good 20 minutes before letting them speak. It was some kind of bulk scam going around. A group of people hits different places in a city, and makes purchases a few minutes apart to keep them from overlapping, so it looks like a random shopping spree. Which I am guilty of from time to time

Which I am guilty of from time to timeI don't have anything terribly noteworthy to say, but my friend/coworker was complaining the other day that she loves romantic movies but hates that her life isn't like that, and I couldn't help but think that I love movie romances because I actually have the real-life equivalent.

Re: "Garfield":
I'll have you know that I make fun of dogs snout to snout, thank you.
And moreover -- is anything more disappointing than finding on your SG blog comments, instead of lascivious greetings and gracious raves, a "Garfield" cartoon??

my phone is fixed, I have doctor's clearance to re-start at the preschool ASAP, paid work is pretty good, school is pretty great, and life in general is rad.

Thank you for the compliments and thank you for asking. I can't remember beginning specifically making jewelry, but I've always been making something. My mother tells me that she would have to leave me alone for hours but be ready to sweep in at the last moment to save whatever I had created before I had become frustrated/disappointed with it and destroyed it. I never took art classes nor had any supplies, so I made things out of things I could take apart and reassemble to my liking. To this day, my favorite things are those that I make out of found objects.

Hurrah for happier blog.
Perhaps eating is a good idea on occasion.

I love the new Avatar (both the name and the icon) but am glad that everything else is the same for my friend!!!
Whew! It's been a while since my last blog, but I've been setting everything up so I don't have time to breathe until January.
Classes start Monday, and I'm taking 13 credits. Plus working as much as possible, which will be hopefully 20-30 hours a week. Plus, as of today, I am volunteering at Head Start in the 0-3 classroom at least 2 mornings a...
