Were The Crafters There The Night BeforeI was walking from the workforce development center to my car that was parked at the school and I saw this on the sidewalk. A bottle of glow in the dark Tulip paint.I "skipped" (with the teachers premission) Sociology class Thursday so I could go to a Student Support Service event that dealt with etiquette at the workforce development center. When I was

I Would Not Call Those Comforter PhotosI used (the exceptionally loud--loud to the point where the lab guy shoots me a look, mindyourownbusiness) scanner at school to scan in an example of my English notes, and probably the reason why I got "D" on my test a couple of weeks ago. See. These are notes for Doctor Faustus by Marlowe.The Courtland library was giving away free copies of old Better Home

Attention Wal Mart ShoppersSo the Pell Grant refund finally got put in the bank today, and I decided to stop himming and hawwing over it and I bought a 30 gb refurb iPod for $175 (with tax it was $185). So that should come via Fed Ex in the next couple of days. I also ordered a Boat & Tote bag from LL Bean so now I'm a 50 something empty nester who goes to Fresh Market to do her weekly

"I'm The Kung Fu Hippie, From Gangsta' City!"I got my pell grant refund in the mail today. I know I should be finding ways to fix/get rid of the iBook, but I mean I still have one computer that has a brand sparkling new logic board in it (the eMac). So I've decided that one of the things I'm going to get (along with Microsoft Office 2004 Student edition for Mac) is a refurbished iPod. Until the

Ants On A LogSo the iBook is still dead. I thought I revived it when I got home by resetting the PMU, but nope. So I lugged the eMac in here tonight. And I'll lug it back in the dining room for my dad to use in the morning if he so desires ['cause you know he killed his HP last month]. YES I'm that addicted to using a computer at night.

I know, I know canned fruit is bad for you due to the syrup in it, I know. But at least I'm not putting canned fruit in recipies like some people. So I guess my hands were weak that day or something and I kept on

"Best In The West ...

My mom, our dead dog; Bitsy and I went to this Dunkin Donuts -- but it was this Dunkin Donuts that was way out in the boonies (sorta like where we used to live).

The Toothpaste Wars of 1994 and 1995!Back in February of last year, I brought up the Great Fried Chicken War Of 1995.

Cosby At 5:30, Family Ties at 6:00, and Cosby at 6:30Today, I got an early 90's tape box (a.k.a. commercial GOLD) in the mail from Kristin. And I watched it, and it was amusing. There was several episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 on the tape and you know....I have never sat through an episode of that show, like ever.

Last Clear Chance For Fantastic Savings?Oh, I didn't tell you guys about the dead kitten in front of our driveway this morning. I was pulling out of the driveway to go to school when I thought I saw you know, a dead skunk or raccoon in the road (which would have been sad too), but I made the mistake of looking at it dead in the eyes (no pun) and I saw that it was a dead kitten.
