Pillow Talk

So after 6-7 minutes of laying silently together going to bed....

Dan: "Is Timothy McVeigh still alive?"

Me: "I think so, why?"

Dan: "Do you want to know my train of thought?"

*dangerous after a long day, and such a random comment*

Me: "Sure."

Dan: "I was thinking about how green our lawn is getting, and that I did a good job fertilizing. So I thought I should get some more soon. Then I thought about how people make bombs out of fertilizer. Then I remembered that Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer in his bombs, so I wondered if he was still alive."

Yeah, our conversations are thrilling.

I'm IT

Like I have time... Mother and grandmother-in-law in town, tracking-off tomorrow (huh?), early faculty mtg, cleaning to impress mother-in-law. Talk about myself? Okay, twist my arm.

4 Jobs I've Had

1. Boy Scout of America. Yep, spent a crazy summer outside Jackson, WY teaching 14-18 yr old boys how to overcome fear of climbing. High up there I saw some tears that will never be owned up to!
2. Jewish Community Center preschool teacher. We took the 2 & 3 yr olds swimming twice a week, changed community style, and it was the first time (and only time) seeing anyting uncircumcised. Interesting...
3. LDS Brighton Girls Camp. Yes, I had a camp name. Yes, I was surrounded by way too bubbly girls for a summer. Yes, that is why I worked with boys the very next summer.
4. Kindergarten Teacher. Currently. Oh the stories I get to share. (names changed of course)

4 Movies I never get sick of

1. Happy, Texas (independent film... so funny)
2. Keeping the Faith (even Dan, the husband, enjoys this funny chick-flick)
3. Gone in 60 Seconds (if only I could drive like that)
4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (need I explain)

4. I would have 4, but the other shows I liked in the fall have turned out to be repetitive, predictable, or dumb.

4 Favorite Foods

1. This new pasta dish I just learned to make... yeah that's specific.
2. Cafe Rio Pork Salad
3. The Pie's cheese with fresh tomatoes- pizza
4. A dang good steak with garlic mashed potatoes

never say never

So after listening to all the interesting stories about codenames, revenge, and coming out of the closet in a group of "bloggers," I have to say I felt a bit out of the club. I have always said that blogging is not for me. When would I have time? Who would even want to read it? What could I say without offending certain parties? But then, when have I cared (or thought ahead) about what offensive things pop out of my mouth. I do enjoy telling crazy kindergarten stories (I teach kindergarten...), I do have a new and adventurous baby boy, and my husband is pretty entertaining- and not just to me, sometimes! I don't know, we'll see.
