I had a lot to do at work today so I stayed kinda late, and then some stuff to deliver to some kids that are going to the National Youth Gathering, and finally had to go buy some cheese so we could eat something for dinner. While at our little Sun Mart market, I saw a basket full of hair doodles, bad makeup, and weird sponges that were all priced for just a dollar each! While initially drawn to it, I am proud of myself for remembering that it’s not a bargain if it’s something that you’ll never use and only regret buying. Way to go, me.

I’m going to try something new at home visits this year. I always take along a handbook and a little brochure about my class, but I’m going to make a little ‘Welcome to Preschool’ DVD. It will show what our room looks like, what our schedule is, and hopefully make new children more comfortable with going somewhere that’s not home. Since there are many little things that some adults do that make my blood boil, I’m going to try to include some of the correct procedures at school – most significantly, how to enter our parking lot the right way. (Drivers need to be making a right-hand turn.) I’m re-enacting it with a kitty in a blue car. What do you think? (There will be several shots.)
Maybe I just need some medication. That might be easier.
Fun with Flickr.com
Beth Marshall said we should upload pictures for our High School Reunion Site to Flicker. It’s a good way to share photos, because they are easy to upload and search, and you can comment on the pictures that everyone puts there. Neat stuff.
Well, I found some pictures of Seward sitting on our hard drive today, and I thought I would put them on Flickr too. While I was doing that I noticed that you could also say where the photos were taken, and after that I wondered if anyone else had uploaded pictures from Seward…

Those of you in Seward should, of course, upload your own pictures.
Harry Potter Spoiler!!!!
I know how it ends!!! Listen up, people!! I didn’t read the book, but I did read the last page!! You’ll never guess how shocking the ending is!!!!
Are you freaking yet, Brad?
Just kidding. Brad’s secluded himself so that he can finish the book on his own without anyone ruining it. He’s probably not reading this anymore, so feel free to say stuff about him. Actually, today’s post is about refrigerators and milk. Something is up. Three times now I have had milk go bad before I’m done with the gallon. I know that it’s not as cold in the door, but I don’t think that’s the problem. It’s happened before the expiration date, so that’s not the problem. Do you think it’s the cow’s fault?
Turn to the right.
Have you clicked on ‘Who’s Who‘ over there under the ‘Stuff’ category? It’s a work in progress of our little world.

With so many bad movies coming out this summer, we were forced to do something we’ve never done before. Last Monday we went to see two bad movies in one night. There were six of us; all of the usual suspects were present. Our first movie was Transformers. This was truely a bad movie. It tried to do too much, what with the action, sci-fi, romance, campy-comedy. The bit I thought was done the best was when a Decepticon tore apart a military base. It was very well shot. Unfortunately it happened during the first 3 minutes of the movie. It was down hill from there.
We had things perfectly timed; we would leave Transformers and head right into Die Hard (after stopping to refuel). But the published run length for Transformers was off, and so we missed the start of Die Hard. So we switched to plan B and went to eat wings. It was a good night for wings. My trusty iPhone said that a single 100 wing order was more economical than $10.99 for all you can eat. as long as you didn’t think you would eat over 18.2 wings. We ended up eating exactly 18.2 wings each, and took the other 9 wings with us for later.
Before our wings came, the bartender came up to our table and asked if we wanted some free beer. Thinking at first that this was a retorical question, we were strangely quiet. She went on to explain that they were blah blah blah blah blah, but the upshot of it was that we got free beer. Life is good.
Die Hard was exactly what you would expect, so it was fabulously awesome. The best line was in the trailer, so you probably heard it:
Matt Farrell: You just killed a helicopter with a car!
John McClane: I was out of bullets.
