About Me

mom, teacher
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
You Are an Alien
You're so strange, people occasionally wonder if you're from another world.
You don't try to be different, but you see most things from a very unique, very offbeat perspective.
Brilliant to the point of genius, you definitely have some advanced intelligence going on.
No matter what circles you travel in, you always feel like a stranger. And it's a feeling you've learned to like.

Your greatest power: Your superhuman brain

Your greatest weakness: Your lack of empathy - you just don't get humans

You play well with: Zombies What Kind of Monster Are You?

My Interests

Reading, gardening, playing and listening to music.

I'd like to meet:

Relatives who died before I was born, or that I never got to know.

Music:

Cake, U2, Garbage, Rush, Jack Johnson, The Wood Brothers, Reverend Horton Heat, Taj Mahal, more than I can list...Kid's music: Jim Gill, Jose-Luis OrozcoBeen cravin' The Cure lately. And Sting. It's a short retro phase.

Movies:

Constant Gardener. Bridge to Terabethia was good! Lady in the Water Meet the Robinsons

Television:

Books:

Most books by Stephen King. Especially Desperation. I'm trying to read Sacred Games.

Heroes:

My parents. Elie Wiesel

My Blog

Finally, things are being checked off of my "list".  Found out today I was hired for one of the jobs I applied for, which means my daughter and I can stop spending up to 2.5 hours commuting daily...

Three Little Birds

Last Sunday evening I had the back door open while I was cleaning house.  I heard a familiar sound that I wasn't expecting until next month.  I poked my head out the door, and a male ma...

checkin in

I haven't been on in a long time.  I have not returned emails, phone calls, etc.  It's been so long since I checked the messages on my cell, that I've forgotten the password and will ha...

I just want to bitch right now.  There is this chick who comes into my classroom (name deleted).  I remember that last year I was so sick of dealing with her, I just preferred she didn't com...

I want to blog, but I'm too bogged down to really write anything I want to write about.  I've been working long hours.  Lilly's got a vomit virus.  We might head back to work tomorrow,...

Please God make it stop

Earlier today, when Sesame Street ended on PBS, for some reason they aired something different than usual.  Usually they would have gone to "Between the Lions" (one of my personal favorites) or M...

My computer sounds like an unbalanced clock. Suddenly I'm craving a Marlborough Red.

another bonus

Another reason I truly enjoy myspace is the exposure to music I would otherwise not have experienced or been exposed too enough to buy. There is this guy who is on my favorites that I don't know excep...

Flying Tomato

I know it's probably immature, but I'm glad the Flying Tomato burned.  More than a protest, it's a proper Viking funeral to a foundation of Denton and UNT culture that can never be replaced ...

It's been over two years, and I'm still finding little odds and ends under the bed, left behind by the paramedics.  I have CLEANED this room!  Things just keep turning up.
