http://www.duboislc.org/ED-Watch/Words/501-605.html So I'm just broadening my natural skills on my little steno machine.  I go to the link above that is taken from: The Reading Teachers Book of Lists, Third Edition ; by Edward Bernard Fry, Ph.D, Jacqueline E. Kress, Ed.D & Dona Lee Founto\ukidis, Ed.D. And I notice on this list that they misspell "clothes."   Okay.  Fine.  But come on!!!! A few words down is "Teacher".   It's spelled "Theacher"!!   That is crazy.   I had to share that with you.   :) Watch what your kids learn from teachers' lists.  

Apparently, if you're on the website you can find some really cool things.   Here's a little map of all the places in the United States I've been in so far..... It seems it's 48% of the United States.  Since I have SOOOOOO much free time on my hands now, maybe I should go on couchsurfing.org and see the rest.   But being a wimpy little girl my sense of adventure needs a jolt.  :O) visited 24 states (48%)

So I've been wondering a few things about myself.   My life has kind of decided to take me to a comedy show starring my life and it's not been funny.  It seems I'm not as focused as I could be or should be and that has REALLY hurt me in my work world.  I know I've always had what I would consider a two-track mind, but could it be ADD.  So upon these questions in my mind I decided to take one of those online IQ tests you can find. I'm proud to announce my IQ is 114, which apparently is a nice, high number.  That means I'm no dummy. But to be fair, I decided I am going to take an ADD test.  You know, just to see.  Well, let me tell you, I'm reading the first three questions and, geez, how boring.  So I didn't finish it.  LOL!!!

This video link has information that is, like, really, really important for everyone to know and remember: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbH60wCO-Yw :)     And now that you know, you may continue having a wonderful and better day for the gracious         knowledge I have bestowed upon you. 

Hellllloooo Everybody!!! Wow,  we have had a scorcher today.  I like it.  I like it a lot.  It's 107, but not as bad as you would think.  Yup.  You can stop going "WOW" now. Anyway, I'm in the process of making my "blog rules".  I think it's going to be a smart way for me to continue this.  Especially, since I have been known as a person who "needs to be more compassionate" and I'm also kind of, I must admit, a little politically incorrect.  So, yeah, I need guidelines. Anyway, we'll start that tomorrow.   I have been the requested driver for a neighbor at 6:40 in the morning to check in for his surgery.  I agreed.  It's better than him walking or taking a bus.  But, oh, my, 6:40.  Yuck. So we'll get back to the "Rules" later. Thanks for checking in. Me

Just what the world needs.  Another blogger.  Another blogger that really has no idea what she's doing.  I posted a poem in 2008, but no one cared so I deleted it.  Hmm.   Maybe that's a sign. Does the world really need another blogger out there?  No.  Not at all.  It's almost as bad as the media.  It seems like everywhere you turn there is a camera or video pointed and ready to record. What would be better is just to go outside and listen to the locust.  You know their skins will be shed soon.  That's the best part.  That skin carcass on that branch, you can just take your little pinky finger and slide it under the carcass and lift it off on your finger. Fun, fun, fun.  Then you can show people.  :)  Yup.  That's what the world needs.  A little more fun and less media. I also have this philosophy that people should be more like me.  I was going to write a book, but this is easier. I hope t...

This is the starting point of my blog.   I originally had a poem posted here that I wrote, but I would really rather keep that poem private.   Even though it's a blog, I don't have to put myself or anyone I know on blast.   I've been known to be a little crazy.   I'll check that here. Anyway, I realize that there are many blogs out there.   Why another?   It's not really that I have a lot to say, but, actually, I really do at times.   The goal of my blog, just to have an idea, is to tell my thoughts.   I'd like to give a little word of the day on certain days.   I'll share little quips that I've learned and excellent tips that could be very useful.   You'll hear my take on life.   I'd be really open to having an "Ask, ask me anything" type of segment.   I've been known to have good advice.   Maybe my ex-husband may not agree.   He used to say, "It mus...
