October 3rd, 2010 in friends, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, i can't believe i have a football tag, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, let's still be friends?, question of the day, relationships, right on my sleeve, so sappy it hurts, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the title says it all, you're skimming this one A few weeks ago, I was spending my free time putting together a list of reading strategies for a bulletin board to help kids comprehend what they are reading. (And yes, this is what teachers do in their free time. So before you start going all “JULY AND AUGUST HOLIDAYS” on me, I’m just going to stop you right here and tell you to suck it.) One of the strategies that most experts agree on, is that a student needs to be able to recognize relationships in writing and understand what these relationships mean. As seen here. Please note how …READ MORE
February 7th, 2010 in AHHHHHHHHHHH!, because I can't do report cards 24/7, competition makes me crazy, H.A.D gets his own tag- that's love, happiness, hello universe? I love you, i can't believe i have a football tag, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, introspection sometimes causes me to drink, it makes sense to me, lists, love harder, overwhelmed doesn't even begin..., so sappy it hurts One of the best reasons to have a blog (other than the free swag- I’m STILL WAITING FOR GAP TO START THROWING PARTIES FOR CANADIAN BLOGGERS- I’M JUST SAYING), is that it’s easy to see what you were doing one week ago, or one month ago or one year ago. You can simply just click in the archives and you will find your past feelings and thoughts and anecdotes perfectly preserved. You can hit a particular month and find out what was breaking your heart, how drunk you got on cheap wine at your friends party, what social causes were …READ MORE

I love you, i can't believe i have a football tag, i love fragment sentences, i'm the sum of my failures and my achivements, it makes sense to me, it's almost like a meme, life lesson, lists, man I'm such a girl, no i haven't gotten laid, oh look! i have opinions., other people say it better, self improvement, seriously, soapbox, the less i worry the happier i am, the one that nobody reads because of the title, the title says it all, the world according to me, top 10 (picture by me)
1. Flowers will never fix everything, but they sure as hell can’t hurt. (Unless they are my favourite flower- peonies and then let’s face it, they can fix everything).
2. When you are wrong, admit it. When you are sorry, say it. When you are in love, declare it.
3. Sometimes it just won’t go your way. And in those moments, it’s perfectly acceptable to stay in your pajamas, eat a lot of string cheese and watch Regis and Kelly (and secretly hate Kelly for being utterly perfect so early in the morning. Her arms! …READ MORE
July 29th, 2009 in and then i laughed out loud, because "guilt" is a dirty word, books, famous people make for good gossip, Gore makes green sexy, happiness, harry potter, hello universe? I love you, i can't believe i have a football tag, i laugh when i say "balls", i might be addicted to tags, I sound drunk but I assure you I am not, it makes sense to me, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's almost like a meme, it's ironic because I'm Canadian, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, let's still be friends?, lists, love or something like it, note on a non-scandal, people i like, something I won't forget, the less i worry the happier i am, the title says it all, this one is about you, Wednesday nights make me frisky Hey guess what?
It’s definitely time for a new topic. In fact, I can’t think of a time where a new topic was MORE NEEDED. But the thing is, any time I sat down to whip up something new, my brain melted into a puddle. And not even an engaging or mildly entertaining puddle but more into a gross, sticky, gooey, I’M UNHAPPY WITH THE WORLD sort of puddle.
Anyway.
I got over it.
And got my brain back.
Apparently.
Over a year ago, I wrote a LOVE LIST of things I adored and you know, this seemed like a …READ MORE
June 22nd, 2009 in and now you might know everything, books i'm not writing, confession of the day, find the dorkiest sentence in this, harry potter, hello universe? I love you, i can't believe i have a football tag, I like annoying people by talking about how much i like comic sans, i like cupcakes more than gluten, it's almost like a meme, it's okay- you can skim this one, lists, man I'm such a girl, pirates, right on my sleeve, teaching, the world according to me I can’t… Wear maxi dresses (I look like I’m playing dress up). Watch Fox News without yelling. Make jello (it just.. never works). Flirt. Push the snooze button.
I can.. Drive a tractor. Sign my name in sign language faster than I can say it out loud. Teach 19 second graders how to hand write. Fall asleep in any moving vehicle. Admit to loving public speaking. Check my email far too often for it to be considered healthy. Make 32 pirate costumes in five days. Always tell you which way north is.
I won’t… Buy Cosmo magazine anymore. Kiss and …READ MORE
May 21st, 2009 in and now you might know everything, confession of the day, earning my dork badge, find the dorkiest sentence in this, i can't believe i have a football tag, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it's okay- you can skim this one, lists, no i haven't gotten laid, the one that nobody reads because of the title, wasting time, you're skimming this one So sometimes I buy Oprah magazine, yeah I know.
I really can’t add anything to that to justify it. It’s sort of like saying ” I cried when Adam Lambert didn’t win” or “I own crocs”. Some confessions you just let hang in the air because nothing can save them.
Anyway.
So Oprah dedicates the last page of every issue to the topic “What I know for sure” and it’s always some really deep, moving lesson about spirits and energy and being one with the universe. I usually don’t understand what she’s saying and instead focus on how glossy the …READ MORE
May 13th, 2009 in and now you might know everything, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i can't believe i have a football tag, I like annoying people by talking about how much i like comic sans, i love fragment sentences, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it's okay- you can skim this one, italics make it appear more thoughtful/interesting, lists, man I'm such a girl, no i haven't gotten laid, oh look! i have opinions., shoes, sigh. i've made a tag for THE HILLS., so egan will LOVE this, wasting time, what i found when i went looking, when i say it anyway, you're skimming this one Roughly a zillion years ago, this lovely (at least I’m 99.9% positive it was you!) posted this meme. And when I say ‘a zillion years’ ago, I’m serious. There’s a good chance I read the meme while wearing a Mondetta sweatshirt (I had ‘Australia”), lock up jeans and a snap bracelet. Anyway, I read it- and like a good blogger I promptly copied and pasted it, thinking it was a meme I would love to do sometimes. Because I adore memes. I also adore Mandy Moore and comic sans font. And no, I’m not joking about ANY OF THAT.

April 14th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, conversation of the day, don't judge me based on my love for bad music, i can't believe i have a football tag, i love fragment sentences, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, my passive aggressiveness is devastating, oh look! i have opinions., seriously, sports, the title says it all, what the hell So a friend and I were discussing sports and he casually mentioned that some football player signed a $100 million dollar contract.
And then my head exploded.
After the grey matter was wiped off the wall, I proceeded to rant, rave and foam at the mouth like a girl with a wild case of rabies at the ridiculousness of ANYONE getting paid $100 million dollars to do ANYTHING.
Of course, my friend disagreed. He explained that football players have unique skills, they have a job that doesn’t allow them to play for many years (those pesky head injuries), they must …READ MORE
February 15th, 2009 in and now you might know everything, blame country music, dogs, don't hate me for this, famous people make for good gossip, i can't believe i have a football tag, i like scotch & table dancing, I'm yoda. Everyone else is a grasshopper, it happened this week, it seemed like a good idea at the time..., it was a dance dance revolution, it's okay- you can skim this one, let's not talk about how long this took, lists, movies, sigh. i've made a tag for THE HILLS., so egan will LOVE this, the one that nobody reads because of the title, top 10 I know. That title is such a hook. You are dying to read this aren’t you? The word ‘meme’ always gets the people flocking.
Let me tell you a little story. There’s that “letter” meme going around (that isn’t the story, stay with me, I promise this tale gets SCINTILLATING), Beth gave Matt the letter “D”. Then, I complained to Matt that I had nothing interesting to blog about (yes, these are the things I say in gchat conversations, doesn’t it make you want to find me so we can talk RIGHT NOW?), so Matt gave ME his letter. Because …READ MORE
January 4th, 2009 in 1/2 funny 1/2 serious 100% important, anger and I have sat down for tea, competition makes me crazy, confession of the day, disappointment, i can't believe i have a football tag, movies, other people say it better, politics, sigh. i've made a tag for THE HILLS. Things that really pissed me off in 2008 by Mr. 5280 5. George Bush. The absolute best thing he did all year was dodge two shoes that were thrown at him during a press conference. He showed cat-like reflexes to dodge the shoe thrower and this single act alone probably saved him from the number one spot.
4. Adam Sandler, “Don’t Mess With the Zohan”. I sent Adam an email after this movie, begging him to STOP IT. His brilliance in “Waterboy”,”Happy Gilmore” and “Billy Madison,” is going to be overshadowed by these mediocre cinematic flops. He used to bring …READ MORE
