......my first post

I am actually making a post:
I beat the original mario and have somewhat a sense of acomplishment.
yay me.

Scary

Too many Gauthiers - and all talking to each other.

Wonderful Way To Start A Day

Excellent posts - only when you have the time. Great work!!! I love you.
Went to Parkers Creek this morning and as is usual it silenced me with its silence.  Too many voices and shouting inside me lately - seems like this Spring the rise of brillance in new life is a bit overwhelming - almost in an audacious manner - like how dare you glum gus - take these blooming buds and popping flowers - try and avoid these - hah!  Don't like that - huh? Want to keep that dumb old brown of Winter around do you? Well, I'll show you - pop, blam, wham be damned - way too many flowers and greens - overwhelming - just let me grump dammit. Stop all this positive crap.

music channel part 2

So this is my new favorite thing:
NPR's All Songs Considered
Click here

it is great - you can listen to the shows - subscribe to the podcast and then listen on whatever listening device you choose.

lovely.

this is how we do it

hey so i think i am posting on the blog but not 100% sure. Sorry to be tardy but this weekend went by too quick...I went to ari's house on sunday evening and she, john, and a couple of other folks tried to learn to play bridge. Apparently while i am not competitive with sports or life cycle achievements (grin), i am super competitive with cards. My god, dad, what did you do to me. So anyway, i am bossy and overly opinionated about a game i don't remember how to play - it was a lot of fun. And We Won - the ladies against the gentlemen.

It was fun to remember bidding and the contract and taking tricks. The fun was furthered by wine and cupcakes and popcorn. It doesn't get too much better than that. If only it had been hearts.

Between learning how to knit and playing bridge, I am well on my way to moving to Florida - golf cart a-go-go.

love ya fools.

The Music Channel Blog

Let's post songs and music we find that we want to share...

This is a band called Ladytron
The song is FREAKING awesome. The video is pretty cool not sure what it means with the Japanese landscapes and faces in the landscape, but cool nonetheless.

Ladytron!!

Very frustrating, especially coupled with emails about us not caring. Silly goose. Of courrse, we care. However, I do not have a lot of extraneous time. I literally work three jobs. I teach a 9th grade reading, a 9th grade math, an 11th grade math at one school. In my other school, I teach two 1st graders, one 5th grader and added are three 3rd graders for reading. Then my other job is in the office, inventory of books, label them, organize them...help other teachers find resources...etc...

And I have a social life of sorts. Sara and Rick and I do things - for example - shop for groceries or our pets or shoes. Or we watch movies. We are friendly with our neighbors who come by to chat. Sometimes we go out for dinner. If it is just Rick and I, we bring a book to read. If Sara and I we have girl chat which is nice. I have not had many girls as friends. We do yardwork. Today, Mike an old dude down the street brought his large crate for Rufus. So I assembled a cage with him. I am sort of seeing this guy, Marcus. Nothing serious. I have a couple people I know at Dennys that i chat with. Then my weekends are focused on the kids. It is really wonderful to have them stay with me overnight or for two nights. Although it was tough at first.

However, I DID IT. I am posting and commenting.

Algebra and Allie

Just got off the phone with allie's algebra teacher. Seems she is missing 19 out of 31 assignments. YIKES. She could fail. Yet on her last test (systems of equations) she got an 85. She knows it, but is not doing it.

Some of it is time management - too much time on computer.
Some of it is perfectionism. She won't turn in incomplete or shoddy work (but something is better than nothing).
Some is good old fashion depression.
Some is probably boredom.

Well, I have a challenge ahead of me. To help her be successful here despite any of the above.

Sunday is a time for . . . . . . . . .

Went to Parkers Creek this morning and as is usual it silenced me with its silence.  Too many voices and shouting inside me lately - seems like this Spring the rise of brillance in new life is a bit overwhelming - almost in an audacious manner - like how dare you glum gus - take these blooming buds and popping flowers - try and avoid these - hah!  Don't like that - huh?

Ice in April???

Deleted due to lack of interest.

Reed and Jon know Wine

When I visited Reed in Savannah a couple of weeks ago, I was surprized by how knowlegeable he and Jon were about wines - we sampled quite a few and had a great time.  Jon is a huge MAC fan - he has a 27" IMac and knows it inside and out!!  I learned a lot.

While these guys wait for something on the computer they continually kept playing their DS Nintendo game machines - real multi-taksing.

Waiting For Godothiers

I guess life is too busy with the mundane tasks of everyday for anyone to give a minute or two to stay in contact and share some funnies or anything for that matter.  That's okay because I won't let it matter to me and obviously it does not matter to anyone else.  In it's form this will last for one more week and then all it will be different - I promise.
Here's Jack in Florida - for what that is worth - and his latest squeese Lois Lane.   Seriously - that is her name - and no she is not dating Superman.

Oh Yeah - Barriers

52 degrees outside - just warm enough to walk around the screened in porch and talk to myself. Anyway we learned about the barriers that keep us from being who we are - but now I know and realize what it is I have to be doing.

Hope you follow.

If not - stay tuned.

Knowing

Okay - now I can add the daily dirt - my day centered on lunch (as usual) and hanging my wash out in the beautiful sunshine. I will post more soon as I can.

As I re-read my journal - which I add to periodically - it hits me every so often with the truths that I become aware of.

Today's is understanding the meaning of "The sweetness of the sweetness"
