Don't Give Me Any Crap...

Don't you love that really, no one has said anything to me about not posting in a while.  How obvious is it that my own ego is screaming with paranoia that anyone else cares.  Damn ego!

So I'm still at work at 7:10 PM and I'm exhausted, but I do have some cutie pie clips of Surya from when he and Andy and Kaki were in town a few weeks ago.  That's all for tonight...must go home.  Although let me just say, it was a WONDERFUL day!  Nothing spectacular happened...things just went smoothly, which I needed.  Enjoy the little one...

Ah, George...

This was the most fabulous of Bush-isms I have yet to see....George endorsing John McCain during the RNC. God love him, the man had to give his speech via satellite and in doing so, there was a technology glitch.

At first, I was appalled that he actually uttered the words, "I know what it takes to be president." That right there opens a can of worms large enough to engulf our entire nation. However, instead of getting pissy about what he was talking about, I couldn't help but smile at his unfortunate (but possibly greatest) Bush-ism to date. It could possibly be one of his last, ladies and gentlemen, so enjoy it while you can.

In case you missed it...after each "profound" comment that he makes about McCain, he awkwardly smiles at the camera...in complete silence. It's as if he's waiting for people to agree with him...but no one does. It is greatness and sadness at the same time. He really deserves a "bless his heart" for his entire presidency. I love that this could quite possibly be how he exits.

Of course, Brian Williams explains after his speech that there was supposed to be an "audio switch" in which case the TV viewers would be able to hear the applause from the live RNC while listening to Bush's speech. Didn't happen though. Poor Republicans.

I recommend You Tubing this one.

Labor Day in Aspen!

I had a difficult week last week. Not only was it busy and I was overtired, but I felt like I was just sucking at teaching. That was really upsetting considering that I've always felt really confident and quite happy with my career. In some respects, I feel like I'm back at first year. I know it's because of all of the newness and I'll groove into a routine soon, but it was an uncomfortable week. Friday ended up to be a good day at school and with my kids, which was a nice way to leave the week and enter a weekend in Aspen! I spent some time with my aunt, uncle, and cousin in the mountains...we had a blast!

I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe holiday weekend! Think positive thoughts for a good week at school for me!
