Grumpy Coffee

September 13, 2006

YES, I’m grumpy today. I want coffee and lots of it and taking a bath in a latte is NOT too far away a thought for me right now. Again, Ken made coffee and it was really good, but I couldn’t find the lid to any of the To Go cups we had so I [...]

I’m Amazed I Didn’t Stab Someone

September 13, 2006

Yesterday was such a horrible work day that I am pleased with myself for not cussing anyone out or pushing sharp objects through anyone’s eyes. This is a big step for me. The Short of it is that there are parts of my job that are simply. not. fun. Dealing with student personalities is easy [...]

Coffee To Go

September 12, 2006

Normally, Ken leaves the house in the morning before I do and rushes out after hitting the alarm snooze NO LESS THAN 6 TIMES. He only hit it once today and then was up and going. I was halfway dressed when I realized he was still home and doing something he hasn’t done in a [...]

The Sweetest

September 12, 2006

When I talk about people to others I probably overuse the term “sweet”. She’s the sweetest person. Oh, my goodness, you are so sweet! That was the sweetest thing ever! In this instance, however, it couldn’t be more true. One of the teachers in my building is THE SWEETEST PERSON EVER and wouldn’t hurt a [...]

New Latte, New Lingo

September 11, 2006

This morning I was more than ready to make my order at Starbucks. It’s raining and I wanted to roll down my window and yell: venti-skinny-sugar-free-vanilla-latte-please! However, the line was atrociously long, so I ran inside and cursed the rain. I practiced my line over and over so I could get out of there quickly. [...]

I’m Not Quite Done With This

September 11, 2006

I got a lot of great comments and questions from my post on my disgust with this “new academy” that is being put together. First, I loved how Deannie asked That Question about the race of the gentlemen who want to take our students from us for this school. Yes. In fact, they are African-American [...]

Super Caffeinated Coffee

September 8, 2006

The baristas have missed me all summer long but they are glad I’m back. Shannon, my favorite one, has the most annoyingly cute dimples. I forgive her because she never gives me too much foam on my lattes. She had an extra coffee that she gave me along with my fattening yummy Caramel Macchiato this [...]

10 vs. 20

September 8, 2006

The Twenty Year Reunion is a scary thought for me, but as luck would have it, I’m not quite there yet. Kennimus is another matter. His 20 Year Reunion happened to sneak up on him and we had to, of course, discuss the 10 Year Reunion that we attended in order to gear up for [...]
