Until the kids beg us to teach them and the parents beg us to forgive them, it will never, ever be enough.<br /><br />danielle--Your comments remind me that A)my sons are so very, very self-actualized, and B)I am long overdue for a political blogpost.<br /><br />Everyone duck.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-48415312860192097032007-01-31T21:13:00.000-05:002007-01-31T21:13:00.000-05:00Do I still want to pursue this career?

Didn't realize it was there until now. Guess I need to get on it.<br /><br />I am impressed by your son's ability to match his purse with his outfit. I have a bad picture if you're interested.<br /><br />I think my topic for my American National Government paper will be "The media's role in influencing elections". I can squeeze 2000 words outta that. Oh, and don't tell your other son; I don't want to lose that topic.<br /><br />Ok, enough.daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863195052700301588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-29287767768360278512007-01-31T20:30:00.000-05:002007-01-31T20:30:00.000-05:00God bless your heart, Nance. I am so with you on e...God bless your heart, Nance. I am <i>so</i> with you on every count:<br /><br /><b>1. The Martini:</b> Now I know how to make a "dirty" one. Here's the classic that has always been my mainstay:<br /> (a) Remove frosted martini glass from freezer.<br /> (b) Dribble in a thimbleful of Martini & Rossi.<br /> (c) Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in enough gin to fill remainder of martini glass. <br /> (d) Shake well (sorry James Bond) and pour into frosted martini glass.<br /> (e) Add small olive if desired, and a thin twist of lemon peel.<br /><br />NOTE: <i>Beefeater</i> was the gin of choice for me until somebody introduced me to <i>Bombay</i>. <br />:-) <br /><br /><b>2. School stuff</b>: I hear you, sister! How about this: the student who hasn't turned in homework since January 4th; curriculum mapping due today in the middle of a computer crisis; the department chair, on hearing that you would like to request speakers for the projection device you are supposed to be using in your classroom, who replies by asking you to research prices and do a comparative study before sending in the requisition; a student who has already gradutated comes to visit you asking you to write recommendations to ten colleges because she is not happy where she is and wants to transfer, and by the way, the envelopes she thoughtfully provided for you do not have stamps; in a faculty meeting it is announced that all teachers will be observed on the days when the Accreditation Ogres visit the school, and we had better have the Lesson Plan of the Century Planned for every single class during those two days... all in one day, and that's not even everything. <br /><br />BRING ON THE MARTINI. PINOT GRIGIO IS THE UGLY STEPCHILD. HE WILL NOT SUFFICE. :-))))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-25695531379760380462007-01-31T16:01:00.000-05:002007-01-31T16:01:00.000-05:00anali--the evening got better as the level in the ...anali--the evening got better as the level in the glass got lower, thanks.<br /><br />j.--i'm just so tired of them all, you know? we've been together a half-year now, and they haven't developed at all. this is the result of allowing just ANYONE to take honors. it's killing me.<br /><br />v--yeah, i liked the image of the pimento, too. i put 3 olives in that martini, and was positively enamored of all of them. the dirty is my drink. and when it gets this low in the month, i just cut it loose. it's been february for about a week as far as i'm concerned. i hate the dregs of any month. just feels messy.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-60459614924185513802007-01-30T17:43:00.000-05:002007-01-30T17:43:00.000-05:00I'll drink with you anytime.
