I’ve thought it was Tuesday all day. I lie . . . at 1:30 PM, I thought it was Friday. In my defense, I was wearing jeans and rushing to get my students, and that normally only occurs on a Friday. Cut me a break. Parent/Teacher Conferences are tomorrow, and I’m dreading them. Quite frankly, as much as parents dread them, feeling like they are in trouble meeting with a bunch of teachers, teacher dread them, too.
And this month is hard. I don’t know who suggested “Me” as a theme, but damn, it’s hard to talk about yourself. Couple that with the fact I couldn’t tell you what the day is, and you get a post with lame-ass shit and old photos. If that’s OK with you, read on. If not, come back when someone else has her ass in gear.
- Whenever we stay over in Philadelphia, we always seem to wind up at the South Street Diner. I always get the eggs Benedict. South Street does a pretty mean dish; the best Benedict, however, is Eggspectations in Montreal.
- Peanut butter is my Achilles heel. If there’s a jar of it in the house, I’ll dig in and eat it by the spoonful.
- I’ve never played Angry Birds, but because my name is the one attached to our iTunes account, my scores are in the top 1%. Clearly, I’m destined for the big time.
- I finally figured out what was wrong with my camera. Turns out I had the ISO locked at way too high a number, and everything has been grainy. Embarrassed? Sure. Real photographer? Fuck, no.
- I bought collars for our cats this past weekend. Nothing has amused me more than watching them try to take them off. Nothing.
- I suck at art. Like drawing a straight line is challenging to me. Playing Draw Something with my daughter is supremely challenging.
- Music from commercials makes up a huge portion of my iTunes library. So do covers. I love covers. Except “When the Stars Go Blue.” The original is better.
- My students thought that I was really going to audition for our school musical and were upset because a teacher might take a part they could have had. Granted, I did sing for the director and the assistant director, but that was simply because the words for the audition song were ingrained into my head.
- Cheese. Highly underrated food. You should look into that.
So that’s it . . . it’s Monday. I’m using old photos. You get lame bits about me.
I don’t think any of those bit are lame. And…I kind of wish it was Tuesday.
(what was the audition song? You have me curious…hmmmm)
Our school is doing The Little Mermaid Junior, and the audition song was “Part of Your World.” I was epic. Those kids should be scared.
i love eggs bene. maybe one of these freaking day we can sit in philly and eat some together.
