Today
Ahh...it's cold. I really hate cold weather with a passion. Especially when the alarm goes off and you're forced to get out of your nice warm bed. I really just wanted to stay wrapped up in my blankets all day long today, but alas, I am a mom, and I do not have that luxury. I have Alex's parent-teacher conference today. Academically, he's amazing. Behaviorally.....well, that's another story. It sounds cliche, but his boredom often causes him to act out. It's only October, but I'm confident that he has already mastered all of the 1st grade curriculum, so I think a lot of his misbehavior stems from his need to be challenged. I recently received a letter from the school asking permission to have him tested for giftedness. If he does well on the test, he will automatically get into one of the magnet schools. I'm so proud of him, but sometimes his behavior drives me insane!!!
I taught my lesson plan on Micro-Fiction last night. Overall it was good, but considering I just wrote out the plan yesterday, I felt a little unprepared. There's only 5 other people in my class, and they are all elementary or special ed majors. I'm the only Secondary ed, and what do you know, but my professor has been a high school English teacher for like 40 years. So of course, every time I say anything that might be slightly incorrect, (like last night, I stated that a piece of literature was by Hemingway, which he corrected and said he thought it was Faulkner), he immediately corrects me or questions me. I don't mind all that much, but sometimes it makes me feel like a dumbass because I can't get by with little slip-ups like the other people in my class can. They could totally bullshit something and he wouldn't know the difference. The other lesson plan I did was a discussion about one of my favorite poems, "Goblin Market". I was shocked to discover that he has never read it! That's kinda weird.
So it's almost Halloween and I have no clue what I'm doing. I want to dress up, but I don't think I have anywhere to go! Tonight I'm going out to a bar to hear my friend's friend's band, and he said dressing up was optional, but it's kinda too late for me to put a costume together. And tomorrow night I don't have plans, and on Halloween night I'll be in class so my mom is taking Alex trick-or-treating. I guess it'll be a pretty uneventful Halloween.
Well, off I go to find out what else Alex has done wrong..... :(
Just got home, well, got home 5 hours ago, but I just sat down. The conference went fairly well. Found out that Alex is one of only a few 1st graders to make the honor roll, and I found out that he is the only one in his class who is reading above grade level.
It's Friday afternoon at 4:47 and I'm actually going to work on homework. Usually I reserve this task for Sunday night at 8, but I'm tired of being a procrastinator. My life would be so much easier if I just didn't put shit off until the very last minute. Starting now, I'm stopping procrastinating. :)

Mount Pleasant Winery
Yesterday was my first voyage to one of the many wineries Missouri has to offer. I had a great time, with a few minor exceptions. Like the HOUR LONG FUCKING line to buy wine at The Grocery, and the fact that I had to climb up a freaking gargantuan hill after sliding down it. That was the fun part, but climbing back up pretty much sucked. So it was me, Julie, Kelly, Mike, his girlfriend Nicole, Nathan, his friend Elliot, Vince, Ben, and their friends Chris and Jessica. So we got there about 12:45, Vince, Ben, and I did a wine tasting, then we all went outside. It was gorgeous! But the wind was insane. I have no idea how many glasses of wine I drank, but all I know is that I was absolutely trashed by 3pm. Vince, Ben, Mike, Nicole, and I left around 8, which I don't understand because the winery closed at 6. I'm still baffled as to how we didn't get kicked out. Anyway, besides Ben's drunk ass rolling down the gigantic hill, Ben and Mike almost getting into a brawl, and me needing to puke on the way home, it was a great time.
If I recall correctly, I really liked the Villagio, the Rhineland, and the Chardonnel. I am by no means a wine connosieur; I just go with whatever tastes good. I attempted the whole smelling, swirling thing, but that was all for show. I don't know shit about wine except that it gets you fucked up.
Anyway, I had a ball and I can't wait to do it again. Probably not until the spring will I be able to get back, so in the meantime I'll look forward to it.

Bill Cosby Pumpkin
With Halloween (my favorite holiday) quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to get in the spirit of the holiday and carve some pumpkins. Alex and I went over to Vince's, and we were looking online for ideas because we didn't want to do the typical (boring) triangle eyes and zig-zag mouth. We saw a Bill Cosby pumpkin, and we thought it was absolutely hysterical, so I wanted to re-create it. To my surprise, it actually turned out pretty well and actually resembles Dr. Huxtable himself. At first it looked more like OJ Simpson. hehe. Every time I look at it, it cracks me up. I'm gonna carve Conan O'Brien tonight. I hope some bastard doesn't walk by and smash it (or squirt it with gasoline so it goes up in flames like some people I know....).

Kick Ass Video
It's no secret that Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around" is my favorite song...ever. I ran across this video on YouTube. Basically, he or she took clips from all of Justin and Britney's different music videos, and constructed them in such a way that it goes hand in hand with the song. I think it's pretty bad ass. Check it out, even if you hate JT and/or Britney.

Poetry by Katie Part II
Night Sky
Aching, wishing, hoping,
But all to no avail.
At night, as the moon creeps from the horizon,
And the stars begin to peek,
I am alone. You are not there
As you said you would be.
Waiting, lying, crying,
But all is for nothing.
Like the star which peeks
From amidst the ocean of darkness,
I peek from amidst mine,
Only to find that still,
I am alone.
Wondering, meandering, wiping
These endless tears,
The bruises of my heart will never disappear,
For they are forever,
Taking your place.
Never again will my heart beat so loudly,
Never again will my tears remain dry,
Never again will my smile beam so brightly,
And never again will I love.
Love to me, does not exist,
You first stole my heart,
And now my hope.
My will, my passion, my desire
To be loved is no more.
As the endless black sea above
Swallows the sun,
It too swallows this heart,
But the sun will return
In all of its glory.
This heart will not.
Slim-Fast
I'm a big fan of those handy little Slim-Fast shakes. I think they taste good, they fill you up (for awhile at least), and they're great for on-the-go. My favorite is the Cappucino flavored; it basically tastes like some sort of iced coffee, and I hate coffee, but it's very tasty nonetheless. The only gripe I have is that after I drink one for breakfast or lunch, my pee smells like cappucinos for like two days. That can't be normal. I've heard of pee smelling like asparagus and White Castle, but cappucinos? I wonder what's in that stuff....I'm too lazy to look and read the can. But it's probably some odd and extremely unnatural chemical to be able to change the way my insides smell. Hmm....

Thoughts
It's 12:19am on Thursday, October 11. I'm a little sleepy, but I don't feel like going to sleep. I'm watching "American Justice" on A&E about The Lipstick Killer in 1946 Chicago. It's pretty good. I have no idea if the guy's guilty or not, but I can imagine nothing worse than spending every single day from age 17 until the day you die, behind bars. I don't know- it sounds like this guy didn't really do it. Two women were murdered, and a little girl was kidnapped from her bedroom, beheaded, and thrown into a sewer.
On a lighter note, I got my Gordon Ramsay fix tonight; "Kitchen Nightmares" was excellent, as usual. This restaurant was particularly disgusting. The chef served Chef Ramsay rancid pesto. Ew.
Ted is so sweet! He's so cuddly and affectionate. He's cuddled up at my feet right now. He's my little buddy. Too bad he just farted. Gross. Ted Theodore Logan is his full name. This is corny as hell, but I want to get another dog just so I can name him Bill S. Preston Esquire.
I took my midterm for my Teaching Reading in Secondary School class tonight. I'm an awesome bull-shitter, so it was a piece of cake. Speaking of cake, I bought cake mix and icing at the store yesterday. I don't even like cake all that much, but I had a burning desire to bake a cake. Maybe I'll do that Sunday while watching some football. I'm so excited! The undefeated Patriots are playing the undefeated Cowboys. My head is telling me to go for New England, but my gut is saying that the Cowboys will win. I don't bet on it, so whatever. As long as my teams win, I'm good.
So Vince and I talked for awhile on the phone. At one point we discussed the whole abortion issue. I understand the pro-life argument, but we have to get real and understand that if abortion was illegal, desperate women would resort to horrid, medieval methods to accomplish the task themselves. Even if you disagree with abortion, it has to be legal because at least the women will have it done safely and as humanely as possible. What really pisses me off are those people who drag their little kids, who don't even know what abortion is, to protest outside Planned Parenthood. Jesus, let your kid make up their own damn mind!
I want to go shopping at Ikea in Chicago. Well, Schaumburg actually. Whatever. I love that store.
I'm bored.
So I'm still contemplating a move. But then I started thinking. What if I get a teaching job while I'm student teaching? Of course I'd take it! But then I think it would be a million times harder to let it go and actually get the fuck outta here. I really don't want to be here forever. There's so much more out there, and I really think it's time for me to move on. I'm still considering South Carolina, and I would like to look into Savannah, Georgia. But are there really any urban, inner-city schools in sleepy Southern towns? Not likely. I don't know what to do.
Man, this dude was framed. This legal system is totally fucked up.
I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Michael Moore's documentary, "Sicko". Can't wait to rent it, even though I know it's just going to piss me off beyond belief.
Uncle Tom's Cabin is a really good book.
I don't buy into the whole majic thing, but seriously. How does Criss Angel do it?!?!
Ziploc bags are getting so complicated. What happened to your basic plastic storage bag? I mean, I walk into that aisle and I'm confused as shit!
TMI, but I'm starting to get sexually frustrated.
Dane Cook is a total douche. He has officially reached Carson Daly status.
Speaking of douches, Dr. Phil bugs the shit out of me. I can't believe I used to find him slightly respectable.
I need a foot massage.
Alright, I'm done rambling. Good night.

Football
Did I call it or what? The Bears actually beat the Packers! All my other teams (except the Rams of course) won yesterday. The Chargers, Colts, and Titans all pulled out a win. The Rams are 0-5. What's the deal? I mean, the game, which took place in St. Louis, wasn't even televised! It really pissed me off- instead, they showed the Seahawks/Steelers game. (Which was quite dull until the 3rd quarter when the Steelers decided to kick some ass). All I can say is hopefully the Rams can win at least ONE game this season....

Weeds
I just spent two hours pulling weeds in my backyard. I know they've always said how yard work is good exercise, but I never imagined it was so draining! I feel more worn out than when I walk 7 miles! There was a lot of work to do though. I've lived here for...26 months, and I have not once touched a single weed in that yard. If I had to take a wild guess, I would say my backyard is about 20' by 20'- so it's fairly small. The majority of it is grass, but in the corner lies a small brick patio. Leading from the patio to the garage door is a sidewalk. Every single crack and crevice of both the patio and sidewalk lived a ton of weeds. It was a real pain in the ass I'll tell you, but it's starting to look a lot better out there. I have always despised yard work, and I could not fathom how anyone in their right mind could actually enjoy it. But today, with the gorgeous weather, my iPod playing feel good music, and the smell of autumn in the air, I must admit that I enjoyed it. It was nice to be able to think about things with no distractions. No phone, tv, dog, kid, or computer around to occupy my mind. It's weird because I'm actually looking forward to finishing up out there tomorrow. It sucks though because I don't have any gardening gloves, so my palms have been rubbed raw and I broke every single one of my nails. But I guess that's the price you have to pay for a nicely manicured lawn.
Hmm...
So last night in class we watched the videotapes of our lesson presentations. It's strange to watch your performance and have people critique it. I did a pretty good job, but I noticed that I really fidget a lot. Touching my hair, adjusting my shirt, etc. It's a little distracting. Besides that I think I did pretty well.
I'm off school and work today! A whole day off. The weekend is pretty open too. Tomorrow morning I just have to tutor some high school kids from 9am-noon, and then I'm going to Grant's Farm. Sunday I'll be watching some football. The Rams are playing the Cardinals (I'm a St. Louisan, but to be honest, I don't care that much about the Rams. We suck). The game I'm really looking forward to is the Chargers/Broncos game. Go Chargers! And the Bears and Packers are facing off. The Packers are kicking ass, but I think the Bears will pull out a win.
I need to clean out my car. It is disgusting. My trunk is literally packed to the rim with shit. Clothes, trash, books, balls of every sport: golf, tennis, soccer, basketball, baseball, football. It's ridiculous. And the outside hasn't been washed in months. It's nice though since Celia is silver- she doesn't show dirt very well. But the filth covering the windows is a dead giveaway.
I want to go see a movie today. I kinda feel like a nerd going to a movie by myself, but who cares? I want to see Ben Stiller's new movie, "The Heartbreak Kid". I love Ben Stiller. Fuck it. I'm going.

Rambling.
So, school sucked today as usual. But I got me Educational Psych essay back. I got a 97...I thought I did really shitty, so that was a pleasant surprise. And I got a 90 on the test I took last week for my Inclusive Education class. Again, I expected a C, so the A was a nice surprise. Besides that, what a boring, uneventful day!!!
I'm listening to my favorite song in the history of the world. Justin Timberlake- "What Goes Around". I don't know what it is, but I am absolutely infatuated with this song.
Damn mosquitos! I'm getting freakin' attacked right now. Isn't this October??? I got not a single mosquito bite in the summer, and now I'm like a freakin' mosquito magnet in October? What the fuck?
It's 9. It feels more like midnight. Not sure why. I guess because the day is so uneventful and is just dragging along. I feel like I haven't done shit today except go to school from 11-3, but I haven't even really gotten a chance to sit down and bullshit till now. I haven't even watched my Judge Judy episodes today. I'm such a nerd... Whatever.
Ok, seriously. This old man and his wife live two houses down from me. They are CONSTANTLY watering, mowing, trimming, weeding, mulching, and irrigating their fucking lawn. Get a fucking life already! I swear to God- they are out there at least six hours a day-off and on-doing all this bullshit. Yeah, they're lawn looks nice and green and healthy, while mine is virtually one big pile of dehydrated, brown crabgrass. I admit my yard looks like absolute shit, but I have more important things to do than tend to the damn grass 24 hours every freaking day. Oh, and the man had the nerve to tell Alex not to let anything get on his part of the sidewalk- no balls, jump ropes, Hot Wheels, sidewalk chalk. Um...I think that's the CITY's sidewalk, not yours. Anyway.
Speaking of "dehydrated": On last Wednesday's "Kitchen Nightmares", Gordon sampled a dish from this Indian restaurant in NYC. He was like, "What the fuck is this? It looks like a dehydrated terd." It was pretty funny. That dude cracks me up. I heard on the radio that he was cooking naked and burned his nuts. That's gotta hurt.
So I'm having a party in....about two weeks. On the 13th. I asked this friend of mine if I could borrow his outdoor fire pit thingy, so that we could be out in the back too so we're not just stuck inside all night. He said I can not only borrow it, but that I can have it. Awesome! It's a pretty nice one too. The only time I ever fucked with one of those things was when I was babysitting Michael a few years ago when Brian and Janet were in the Bahamas. My "friend" (now she's just a whore), but she and I kinda caught the deck on fire....Not good.
It feels really nice outside, but it is getting a little bit chilly. I am NOT looking forward to winter. I despise cold weather, ice, and snow. I really hope my trip to Florida goes through so I can get the fuck outta here for awhile.
Damnit. My foot fell asleep. All the way up to my knee. I hate that!
My chest hurts. I guess my breast plate or whatever it's called. Ted jumped right on it last night when I was sleeping. I think it's bruised or something because it hurts like hell and it's kinda hard to breathe.
So...my brother is gone. :( He called me last night to let me know he made it about halfway. He was in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and was headed to Boise today, then he'll finish up the 2,000 mile drive and be in Portland by tomorrow afternoon. I love him, and I desperately want him to be happy, but I miss him already!!! I feel selfish, but I wanted him to stay, but more than that I want him to be happy. He deserves it. It's just scary to think that he and I may not ever live in the same city again.
Well, there's a lot more random shit on my brain, but I'm tired of typing.
Oh yeah- quote of the day.... Hmm.... yeah.... I got nothin'....
