yay! snow day tomorrow announced already.... a day to catch up on grading, play more video games, and perhaps do long over-due laundry. being from so-dak, i still just shake my head at what little it takes to mess up this minor metropolis when it comes to snow/ice.

paperwork sucks... dec.1st deadlines are crappy due to my procrastination and perfectionist tendencies.
ugggh.
highlight of my week was meeting the only porn star besides Ron Jeremy that I'd give a crap abou meetingt: Belladonna was doing a signing... perhaps if she would've talked dirty I would've had a more genuine smile in the polaroid. my "picture-say "cheese" smile" always sucks ass... wonder how many...

brother's wedding turned out not-so-hoiwty-toiwty, which was swell. the mom-in-law was down to earth and very appreciative of my sister and i making it out. the blizzard that closed down South Dakota a few days before the wedding kept my mom, sister Sara, and her boyfriend from making the trip.....

we wear (minimum) three hats: teach, manage EA and paperwork. i'm so thankful for records managers!!! omg.
i hear you on the papers and meetings. i'm constantly running. and i've got your second stack of papers topped. i have a whole desk full of papers stacked and stacked and in bins and... sooo swamped. mostly w/meetings and the high needs kids stuffs. i don't feel like i'm doing the best i can. but i am.
glad i'm not the only one who sleeps thru weekends. we should meet up for a brew sometime (do you drink?) if we can stay up past 7:30 on a friday night! hah!

i hate that.
measured for tux for brother's 2nd wedding today. the lady told me to to pull the pants up to touch my belly-button. it reminded me of the stylishness of Apu on the Simpsons, and Mr. Kainee, my 7th grade shop teacher. no thank you, I do not wish to be reminded of my pizza-beer tummy. i will sag them tuxedo pants respectibly and comfortably, thankyouverymuch....

...long week at the office; i don't think I got home before 8pm except on Thursday to watch survisor. (I think the nice lawyer or the gay dude are going to win.)
