she lives. barely.

im here. i know its been forever. life is nuts as usual.

snippets. thats about all i have.

peg got her puppy. her name is molly. she is sweet. she hates when i squeeze her hamburger toy in her face. its mean, but its funny.

i started teaching at glenbard east. it is great. i love it. i need to take off fridays so i can go to a football game.

i am so tired all the time,but that seems to be the nature of life.

sisters left for college. they are lucky. i miss college. it was so fun. maybe dan and i will go to a football game on saturday.

i stepped on a rusty nail whilst gathering wood for a bonfire. it hurt alot. it hurts less now. thank you to all who were concerned.

it seems like half the people i know are getting married. its some what staggering.

i feel like ive made some new friends. i really like becky. shes cool. she also called me a stupid bitch. but shes funny. and i really like shawna at work. we are alot alike, and its all in ways that make us get along. i think. and then theres molly. nice doggy. and theres this girl, mary at work. well. woman. but whatever. its the sort of office where everyone is a girl so shes one of the girls from work, even if shes older than my mom. she reminds me of a female version of my grandpa. maybe thats why i like her.

ive stopped bringing my computer to school. i do want to use it, and i need to update grades and whatnot. but it was so heavy and such a pain. instead i think ill just use my flash drive. now the trick is makign myself take it out of my bag and UPDATE the damn grade book.

im starting to get upset and angry about hurricane katrina and how it was all handled. i dont know. i understand how some people cant leave or wont leave for whatever their reasons were. and i understand how expensive it would be to prepare better. but for GODS SAKE. we knew this was coming!

anyways. that rant will simply hurt my head.

in other news. ive realized that while some people can taint memories and steal away their meaning for you, other things can never be taken.i am so glad that i still love garden state. and that sunkist, sparkles and guy-A are still phrases that makes me smile. Im glad i still love our town. and labor day weekend will always be my grandpas birthday.

anyways, enough from me.
id promise to update more regularly, but id hate to lie. ill just say that ill try.
