You are viewing the most recent 20 entries July 4th, 2009: TV or not to TV, that is the question... Is it bad to be spending the night rotting your brain away on mind-numbing television? Or is it a good distraction from having spent the day gardening and breathing in topsoil and weeds? Current Mood:  randomMay 3rd, 2009April 17th, 2009: Vacation! So, I'm going to keep this post short and sweet... I'm on vacation in Kentucky right now... in Louisville, which is actually quite nice. Thunder over Louisville is this weekend, which is the first of many big events that lead up to Derby weekend, taking place in two weeks. Other than that, I've been really busy getting my aunt's new house together. We've been moving stuff out of the old house a little at a time, in order to stage her house now for a potential new renter (the house she's in now is a rental; she just bought a new house). Hopefully, the person viewing the house tomorrow will like the place so she can get out of her lease early, thereby not having to pay a mortgage AND rent! Cross your fingers and wish us luck! I'll report back more later... April 12th, 2009: Happy Easter Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying time with their families and having fun! Have a happy and blessed holiday! April 2nd, 2009: Grrrr... Okay, I have to admit, Scap and I are even... He stole my keys yesterday afternoon and moved my car to the far side of the parking lot... He could have done worse (like stolen the candy in the car, moved the seats, and switched the radio presets), but still, pretty good... Now for my payback... ~plots evilly~ April 1st, 2009March 28th, 2009: Museum exhibit opens today! Hey everyone! Just wanted to invite anyone in the area to stop down to the Southampton Historical Museum today between 2 and 4PM for the opening of the annual student curated exhibit. This year, students looked into the past and created work about World War I (my students at OLH), and the Roaring 20's (Southampton Intermediate School). Come on down and see all their hard work! Refreshments will be served. Hope to see you there! March 21st, 2009: Done My marathon grading session is done! Woohoo! Now next stress... t-minus 7 days until the museum opening... Breathe, Erin, breathe! March 18th, 2009: Museum update T-minus 10 days until the opening! My friend Amanda and I moved all the projects and such off to the museum this afternoon which was a production in and of itself. It's done now though, so good things! Opening is in 10 days, from 2-4PM at Southampton Historical in Southampton Village, NY. Hope to see you there! March 13th, 2009: Museum Projects are 95% done. Installation starts next week at the museum and the opening is March 28. Anyone around Southampton, come on down to the Historical Museum from 2-4PM March 28 to see the Our Lady of the Hamptons and Southampton Intermediate School's exhibits on World War I and the Roaring 20's! The exhibit will be up all of April for anyone to check out! The Southampton Historical Museum is located in Southampton Village, NY. http://www.southamptonhistoricalmus Current Mood:  accomplishedMarch 11th, 2009: Stressing Here I am... posting when I should be grading papers... Well, I'm in the thick of research project season and coming to the home stretch of the 8th grade project... March 28 is the day their work will be displayed at the Southampton Historical Museum for the opening of their annual student exhibit. I'm super nervous since I don't know how this is all going to come out. I've never done a museum exhibit before. It's an enormous amount of work and the kids have worked their tails off, while trying to get state exams, science fair and math fair projects done, study for tests and, oh yeah, figure out all their after school activities too. Seriously, I admire them for somehow not completely losing it. I'll keep everyone posted as to how the project is progressing. Wish us luck! Current Mood:  stressedMarch 9th, 2009: More to twitter I am now officially on Twitter... if anyone is interested...my official Twitter site is http://www.twitter.com/bout14. Add me and let me know if you Twitter too... I can "follow" you... wow, that sounds stalkerish... Current Mood: chipperMarch 8th, 2009: Twitter Hey does anyone use Twitter? I'm thinking about getting one and want to know if it's worth it. Current Mood:  curiousFebruary 24th, 2009: Book I have decided that I need to write a book about all the random AWFUL things that I've gotten on test and essay papers from students. Because some of the things I've seen are damn well near UNBELIEVABLE. My favorites: #3- Penguins live on the equator #2- Antarctica is a state #1- Ghandi wrote the Declaration of Independence (the kicker was, this was on OPEN NOTEBOOK test. I asked the kid whose notes he was using because they were clearly not the notes I gave him and his response was "I couldn't find it, so I wrote the first thing that came into my head.") And the GRAND CHAMPION (cuz it does get worse)... An 11th grader thought that Shakespeare was still among the alive and breathing. His reasoning? He held up his copy of Macbeth and said, "But the book is new!" Anyone have any they'd like to share? Cuz I really need to hear whether or not it gets worse than this... Current Location: working like a dog Current Mood: amusedSeptember 22nd, 2008: Parent Night Dang, I hate Parent Night. Why is it that I'm fine in front of my students but a nervous wreck in front of parents???? BTW, sent good vibes my way- the soccer team I coach has their first game tomorrow! Current Location: work Current Mood:  nervousJuly 2nd, 2008: It's a boy! I have a new nephew! Allen Trey Adams was born at 6:08am this morning and was 6lb 7oz. Mommy and baby are doing well. Current Mood:  excitedJuly 1st, 2008: Surprised Did anyone else hear that Don S. Davis, General Hammond from Stargate SG-1 passed away? I'm bummed... I liked him! Current Mood:  sadMay 20th, 2008May 2nd, 2008: Me want sleep! I want to know whose restricted phone number called my cell 4 times between 11:57PM and 1AM this morning, waking me up from a dead sleep. I answered twice and the person promptly hung up. Nobody wakes me up from a dead sleep and gets away with it! ~stomps off~ Current Mood:  angryMarch 1st, 2008: Jacked from mtmontage...Pick a fandom you know I know about, and I'll tell you: 1. The first character I first fell in love with 2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now 3. The character everyone else loves that I don't 4. The character I love that everyone else hates 5. The character I used to love but don't any longer 6. The character I would shag anytime 7. The character I'd want to be like 8. The character I'd slap 9. A pairing that I love 10. A pairing that I despise Current Mood:  hungry |
