The Stankest Stank.

Alright y'all. Right now, our kitchen is out of commish because our garbage disposal clogged up the pipes and sent dirty nasty stank water back into the dishwasher. (Yes, this has happened before.) And for some reason, even though the issue was put through to a plumber on Monday, a plumber has yet to be seen. And y'all, this kitchen is RANK. Like, nothing we can do about it - even the sink smells bad - make you wanna cry stink. So to take my mind off that, I'm reliving Colorado pictures and listening to this.

Lookin' on the bright side, right? Or is it denial? 

R.I.P.

"It looks like your hard drive is corrupted."

Have there ever been sadder, more disheartening words? Needless to say, my computer is in the shop for goodness knows how long. So you may not be hearing from me for a while! Keep my little Mac in your thoughts...poor girl is only three years old...she has so much more life to live...(sniff)...

Anyway, hope you all have a good week or two until I talk to you next! Keep your chin up!

TGI Not Monday

I woke up at 6:45 yesterday morning, got dressed in teacher attire, and went to class. 

I got out of class at 11:57 yesterday morning and went home to eat some lunch.

I went to class at 12:35 yesterday afternoon and gave a presentation on ESL strategies.

I got out of class at 3:25 yesterday afternoon and took the bus home.

I got home at 3:47 yesterday afternoon... 

...and realized that I'd had my shirt on inside out since 6:45 yesterday morning.

wah wahhh...

Brand New Day

Recently, it's sort of dawned on me that I complain too much. Don't we all, though? It's too hot/cold/windy, I'm tired, my knees/head/feet/hands hurt, I have too much homework, I work too much/not enough, I don't have enough money, so-and-so is getting on my nerves, blah blah blah...

How silly is that? "I have too much homework," - really? I should be saying, "I'm lucky enough to be able to afford to better myself through higher education, making it that much more likely that I'll be able to get a good job one day." Or, "Despite my few health problems, I am generally healthy and blessed with a body that functions as it should (most of the time)." 

Starting right now, 12:27:33 on the seventh day of September in the two thousand and eleventh year of our Lord Jesus Christ (is that right?) I, Claire Raeann Winchester, am going to go an entire 24 hours without uttering a single complaint. Hopefully more than 24 hours. But that's a good start. I hope you'll do the same. Because even positive people complain sometimes.

Think happy, be happy. 

That's all for me today!

This afternoon...

Judy Roomie is snacking on all-natural crackers and low-fat cream cheese, and I'm eating raw chocolate-chip cookie dough from the tub...




Happy first day after Spring Break! 

11.2.2010

Well, due to my poor stewardship, I seem to have misplaced my card reader, and the extra one I bought does not work. So, for right now, I don't have any means of uploading my pictures. Hopefully that'll change soon.
