Represent!

Goals met, yo!

Seriously the goals, they are-a-met.

Here we go...

I pretty much love the 5th grade. I always LIKE waking up in the MORNING. Odd, cause I have to be there about one hour earlier than if I was really working. But they rock my life away. Hooray for them. Today I admit that I pretty much stayed in bed as long as possible, but that's cause of the cold not the class.

I ate corn on the cob in Palo Alto at this little Mexican Restaurant. I have about 20 witness who saw me order and bite into that goodness. It was an amazing night of cobs.

I completed organizing my files a while back... I think it was the 14th or so. But I did all that and that feels good, cause I can find anything I may need in a hurry. Ahh I need to go back to school on the third... boo hoo...

I cleaned the bathroom on the 30th. Ha. I waited till the last possible moment to do that one, jut to be a butthead.

I totally made cookies for me and Parker on the 30th for New Month's Eve. Lovely sorta thing.

I bought more than 3 gifts for Christmas: I got one for Cass, a ridiculous amount of gifts for Farah, three for Katie, and one for Jason. I also did some good scouting for Parker, Kyle, Lisa, and Susie. The jury is still out on anyone else.

The only issue I hit into was reading a book every weekend, I read part of a book each weekend, but didn't complete them. However, each weekend I'd pick up a NEW book and read what I could of it.

Confessions

From the corner of the dark room...

"Forgive me Blogger for I have sinned. It has been 15 days since my last confession. I have been busy, lazy, and preoccupied with life."

"Yes my child. You are forgiven. Come to me. What are your burdens?"

"Oh, Blogger. I have had thoughts of changing to another blog! I mean, you have been good to me, with the black background and all, but I am longing for something new. Something exciting. Is this a sin, Blogger?

"Why do you long for these things child?"

"I don't know. I guess I look at other blogs and I see what they have. They can do cool things like bold, italics, and so much more, and I... I can only write in white writing and in one font. Oh, how I long for the freedom of fonts, Blogger."

"But have you not made a commitment to me? Have you loving only one blog."

"Oh, Blogger. I have been unfaithful to you. I have but one other blog. It was a short lived fling though. I let it go, but I admit I think about it still. I want it back. In fact tonight I went to it looking for excitement but all I got was a reminder of the things I crave. Oh take this from me, Blogger."

"They will. But you must trust."

"Oh thank you, Blogger. Thank you!"

The Devil, The Devil City, and a Romantic Day....

DON'T EVER GO TO LOS ALAMOS! THE DEVIL AND HIS MINIONS LIVE THERE! WATCH OUT! Seriously, this isn't Michael being dramatic here. I saw one of the minions on a dirt bike and it was seriously a ghost town. The maze is closed. Don't go there! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!


Ok, now for the pictures of the romantic, lovely November date... (shut up Parker)







Here's where we were... Sorry my friend...

Goal for the Americano.

Well here I go again. I'm all about goal making... I think short term goals are the best because pretty much you can actually meet those goals. Unlike those long New Year's Reso's. So here are my goals for the month of November:

To enjoy life in the 5th Grade.
To read a new book every weekend.
To clean the bathroom.
To make cookies (even if I just bake the dough).
To finish organizing my file cabinet.
To buy 3 Christmas gifts.
And to eat corn on the cob.

I will do my best to document these goals being met, and then come December 1st I will see if I met my goals. If I meet all of the goals I am taking myself out for yogurt... If not I'll buy Parker a yogurt.

Project Life

Life is like... Life is like Project Runway. Yeah, OK. I said it. I hate to compare friends, family, and enemies to a reality tv show, but... After dressing up like one of the characters I had to come to grips with reality here.

One day you're in and the next day you're out. You'll have to agree the characters from last season somewhat seem to remind you of the people you deal with on an everyday basis... "Desssignersss." I'm just saying... Take a closer look, and make it work...





Maybe you are an Uli. You know, the free spirited, krazy kolored person who sees life as a giant vacation and time to languish. You spend days dreaming of being somewhere better than where you are. But everyone loves you, and why not? You're the rockin' German who lives in Miami.




Or Maybe you're more of a Jeffery/Laura type. The boss-o, ego-maniac who actually does really cool stuff, but is simply annoying when you do it. You may be able to work it, but seriously, get ahold of that ego.



Well you could be a wacky Angela. You could be that type of person who can talk the talk, but sure can't walk the walk. Ahh! These people drive me nuts! You ain't got nothing to back yourself up with... You just use cliches all day and can't do a thing... Well, except make a wacky rosette.



Maybe you're the Vincent type. The odd ball of the group who is just creepy... You know, the guy who comes to the party and everyone covers their face and says, "Oh jeepers. I hope he doesn't come up to me."



You very well could be a Michael. A great showman, and starts off being the best... But when it comes to the big show and you're in your friends need you to come through--- You choke! Everyone who cheered for you now wonders, "Hum. Wasn't he suppose to be something to me?"



Jesus hasn't taken that wheel yet... Cause if you are a Kayne type. You're... Just Kayne.


You could be Tim. The leader and mentor to many. People look up to you, but sometimes just don't get you. I mean, what's the deal here? Can't you just say "meet?" Why all the caucus talk? But hey, in the end you make it work...

Nevertheless, whomever you are. Just take note. One day you could be in and the next day you could be out. So take heed and watch your personality and your actions closely. We'll see you on the runway...

At Long Last

Here are the Halloween Pictures many have requested. At long last, they have arrived. I went as Jeffrey from Project Runway and Farah went at Laura from the same show. Morgen was Mimi from RENT and Mike was Randy the friendly homeless guy.

24...

No, not the show.... Me! You little Belevedere. I made it so hooray! Oh man that reminds me of people writing in yearbooks they always write "I can't believe we made it!" what a waste of time. Seriously.

Well, here is a pictorial representation of my day yesterday... It was kind of amazing. Please note: We have new friends to add to the lists. In particular Mimi... She rolls hard. Fo' sho.
