Okay
— so I deduce that we are not too interested in what’s going on in
the lives of my goldfish.  Who would have guessed? 

Hmmm … let’s see what I can share today …



I am dead tired, it’s HOT,
my students are being bozos, my room is nowhere near ready for Back to
School Night, I have a stack of papers to grade, and I have to read
pages and pages about Carl Jung tonight.  The good news is that
Lost is on tonight, so I have something to motivate me out of this
funk.  If I get enough work done, that will be my reward. 
Yes,  my life is indeed a thrill a minute!



My sister cut my hair
yesterday.  I had her do it in the dining room of my parents’
house instead of at the salon … that way it’s cheaper for me but she
makes more because she doesn’t have to go 50/50 with the salon owners
… plus, then she doesn’t have to style it because I just go home and
take a shower anyway. (Methinks Miss G. just wrote a humongous run-on
sentence!)



Anyway,
this was the quickest haircut yet, and I’m not sure whether or not
that’s a good thing.  Either she’s getting better, or I got a
crummy haircut.  I’ll know tomorrow when I straighten my hair so I
look more polished, less schoolmarm for Back to School Night. 
Plus, the district PR person is coming to take my picture since I am my
school’s teacher of the year, so I am killing two birds with one
straightening job.  My hair is currently falling out by the
handfull so no color this time.  I’m not sure what’s up with that; I just hope it stops before I look like Mr. Magoo.
