Turkey Time

H had his 4th grade musical last night. There were some hilarious songs and he did a great job! Here is a little clip. Not the best quality, but it is what we have. Turn your sound up loud!

Hurrah...Employment and Puppy Shenanigans

Scott was offered a job today. For those who didn't know Scott lost his job after 9 and 1/2 years a week before our anniversary. Thankfully, we have not hit the month marker yet for being unemployed. His new job will be a pretty dramatic pay cut, but it is employment in tough economic times. Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers, well wishes and hoping that all our friends and family have been doing.

Lena started puppy classes this week and is the star of class. She knows just about all the things that they were going to work on Monday night, so we did work on NOT jumping on people. It is REALLY a work in progress, but we are not giving up.

Top Five Reasons I Hate Facebook (aka: reasons I will not make a facebook account)

People give me a hard time about not being on facebook. I have thought about this long and hard. To be frank, I am OVERJOYED that I don't have to deal with the facebook drama. The following are just a few reasons why you won't find me there.

1. All the stupid games...get off your arse, quit playing make believe farmer or cafe owner and do something with your life. Perhaps you could learn to garden, or cook FOR REALS.

2. I don't want to reconnect with all the friends or family I left behind. I left them behind for a reason! If my bf from high school or my mother's uncle's monkey wants to talk to me then they can call me or send me a letter. I don't really want to look at all their stupid mafia accomplishments or the baloney that their kids/grandkids are doing on a daily basis.

3. People are complete asses when they can hide behind their facebook updates instead of REALLY communicating with people.

4. No one cares about your pathetic life enough to want to know that you are going to launder your undies, or wax your eyebrows, or watching movies on a Friday night or whatever lame update you are posting for the whole universe to read about.

5. Just because everyone and MY MOTHER has a page doesn't mean I have to.

I am confused why people give me a hard time for not being a follower. I frankly feel refreshed to NOT be one of the 300 million active users. Think about that!

My Students

My students participated in an awareness event for the International Day of Climate Action. The IDCA was on Saturday 10/24, but my students staged this event at school on Friday to educate their fellow students. It was amazing and wildly successful. They collected trash on Thursday night from the school and fashioned it into the number 350, which is the ppm of CO2 that we should be trying to have in our atmosphere. We as a world have a lot of work to do to get to that goal as we currently have about 387ppm. Thought I would share a little of my kids hard work with the world.

Climate Changes

Ran across a cool website today and entered my own message of what gives me hope.

International Day of Climate Action is coming up on 10.24.2009. My students are going to be having an awareness day at school. We are planning to collect all of the garbage from the school and create a gigantic pile in the Warrior Walkway. Talk about impact. I will post pictures when I have them.

HILARIOUS LINK

My dad sent me this hilarious twitter link.
http://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
I don't do all that facebook, twitting business but THIS is good stuff.

I am laughing so hard over here that I am crying.

I think that I should blog all the weird crap my dad says. That would make for some hilarious subject matter most days.
