Some say cheap, I say smart!

Somebody recently told me that I'm cheap because I still use my college ID card(graduated in 98) to get a student discount at the movies. So what! Am I the only one?

Most embarrassing junior high school moment

This was a prompt that I gave to my students . . .

and it made me laugh because I actually have one.


When I was in middle school, my oldest sister bought me a jogging suit that was a little too fitted for me. You could see what I had to eat the previous night! Not literally, but you get the picture.

At any rate, walking around school all day, gasping for air, I was talked about a lot. But what made it worse . . . .

was that I had raging hormones at the time. Anytime I saw a cute girl, I had to hold my binder downstairs to prevent further embarrassment. And it happened a lot!

One of my friends said that I looked like I was wearing huggies. Kids can be so cruel.

What is your most embarrassing junior high school moment? We all had at least one!

What Color is Your Brain?

ORANGE:

At work or in school: I need to be "hands on": I like to play games, to compete, and to perform. I enjoy flexibility, changes of pace, and variety. I have difficulty with routine and structure. My favorite subjects are music, art, theatre, and crafts. I often excel in sports. I like solving problems in active ways and negotiating for what I want. I can be direct and like immediate results.
With friends: Planning ahead bores me because I never know what I want to do until the moment arrives. I like to excite my friends with new and different things, places to go, and romantic moments.
With family: I need a lot of space and freedom. I want everyone to have fun. It is hard for me to follow rules, and I feel we should all just enjoy one another.

You are The Fool

The Fool is the card of infinite possibilities. The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he need to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack. He is on his way to a brand new beginning. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasising and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool.

Beef

Not the meat, but the slang term for issues although I don't see this as an issue. LL says he is not stupid, but why would Jay-Z not promote his album if its good? I get the feeling that Jay-Z is about money as much as the next businessman and wouldn't jeopardize the profit he would make from LL's album. But hey, that is just me.

This was a funny yet true story.
