At red lights I use the rearview mirror to spy on the driver behind me. The first couple times people just stared out the window.
At Hoover and State, we waited through 4 lights to turn left- so the driver behind me just looked more and more frustrated. Though I can't say that with the highest degree of certainty because if the driver in front of me had been spying, they would have seen me rocking out to George Michael's "Faith" by the time the light turned red for the fourth time. (thanks Zizzle. your music mix is like wine- grows better with age and makes me look stupid.)

A kid at work tried to bribe me into buying a picture he drew for a million quarters. He said if I didn't buy it, he wouldn't behave ever again. This from the 5-year old that thinks Arizonia, Carado, and Kentucket are states. We are a depraved people.
I'm not kidding when I say that. Ten minutes later, I caught a girl with no shoes on and when I asked her where they went, she looked surprised that she wasn't wearing them. As if somehow, you can lose a shoe and not feel the difference while walking.
I love my kids- but they're ridiculous. Maybe that's why I love them.

I think I have to change my staff profile picture at work though. I had a picture up of me with a friend- because I felt like a loser with just a picture of me since everyone I work with has kids/families. But then today, while telling a parent it was ok if she ran a little late because I wasn't in any big hurry, she mentioned it seemed like I had a partner to get home to.
Crap. The Parents think I'm a lesbian.
Plus side- it's good to know they're open minded with their kids.
Down side- see two lines up.

Why do we wear socks? Not that I'm complaining... I was just thinking about it. Like-- who decided that something should go on your foot BEFORE your shoe? And why didn't they just make shoes Warmer so you wouldn't NEED socks (if we determine that they are for warmth purposes.)

A while ago I saw a big fluffed up pigeon sitting on top of a convertible. It was pretty funny.
That being said- I think the only reason I would ever want a camera phone would be to take pictures of random stupid stuff.
But sometimes, I want to take a picture of a person- for a variety of reasons- so that might be creepy.
My sisters say I'm weird a lot. I'm trying to except that as a good thing. Cuz it used to embarrass me. But I am resolved to embrace the weird. weird is good. It's my own little form of normal.
to some extent.

Speaking of weird, there's this little finger puppet at work that we've been passing between the staff. And when I say passing, I mean hiding in each other's work places to creep each other out.
So far it's been taped to my car door and then stuck on top of my shift stick. (the other teachers think it's fun to steal my keys.)
Seeing as I'm the younger person and don't usually leave the kids for very long- I have resorted to subtler hiding places- in the hood of a jacket... in the snack fridge... and currently hiding in a jar of bubblegum we keep in the closet. That last one is my personal favorite so far.

I love PBS. Is this genetic? It might be. Currently, I will choose Masterpiece Theater over hulu anyday of the week. Yesterday, I actually spent 3hours watching Hamlet. And understanding what was going on. (I wanted to finish the last half hour, but I was getting too tired and I had to work in the morning)
Maybe I just love the BBC.
Hamlet- David Tennant. Polonius- Patrick Stewart. Awesomeness GALORE.
Speaking of. I LOVE Doctor Who. like... you have no idea.
I have never really been 'in' to something enough to obsess over it. Not BSB, not Hanson... not Lost or Heroes...
But I LOVE Doctor Who.
