Quick
I just wanted to let everyone know - I NOW HAVE A COMPUTER AT WORK!!! Like on my desk in my classroom! It's so exciting. Right now I am sitting at my desk typing this. Now, that's not to say that the posts are going to be super long or crazy frequent, but it is to say that there is at least a small possibility that I would be able to pop on for quick little up-dates (because I know you are all so longing to know what's going on in my life...)
Sick :(
First, Friday was my first snow-day as a teacher. I liked it. I am going to be sad when I have to work in July, but right now I am SO THANKFUL that I didn't have to clear off my car in the morning that I just don't care.Second, I am sick. I hate being sick. Because I am sick I am beyond behind in my whole holiday preparation thing, so if my gift to you sucks this year I'm sorry. Please know I did the best I could, considering. Oh, and I'm not sure what, if any, decorating will be done here so if you do randomly happen to come over and it still looks like spring just accept, ok? Hope all is well in your corner of the world.Ali

Sorry - been a bit... distracted, I guess.Songs - 1. Fool in the Rain by Led Zepplin because it is the best song ever written AND it has a whistle in it. Seriously, do you really need me to write more? I am a referee and all...2. Fear by Sarah McLachlan because she's awesome and - well, just listen to the words she is singing - you'll know my heart and all that paralyses me. I fell in love with her as an artist my freshman year in college and will not give her up. Ever. She reminds me of the only big sister I ever had, and then lost, and that is a good thing. Not this song specifically, but that's ok, this one is more personal...3. Steal my Kisses by Ben Harper because this is why I love him. It's a fantastic, fun, up beat, make me dance and feel all special and crazy and speaks to me like it was written about me alone. It makes me feel good and special and that is a very, very good thing. I like to feel special, even if it isn't necessarily true.4. Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos becuase I am thinking all college age and such with Sarah and all and I think, if I get a 4th song, I should bring some old-school shit to the mix for all you young'ins. It's a very empowering (I don't care what the words may or may not be about in this case - just turn it up ass loud and scream along and you WILL feel empowered) song that is good for the female soul. Since we're all females, that is a good thing.Ok, so sorry I've been gone. Going to try and be back as much as I can handle. We really do need to arrange a meet and greet, if not for any other reason than to prolong my own sanity. Ha. I'm sorry I can't always been in the best place and be with you all always.All my love and best wishes in this holiday season.Ali
