What Time is It? Random Time.

Posts two days in a row? Dang. What's going on with me?

I had my second round of parent-teacher conferences this evening. My classroom phone rang and it was one of the parents that I had been expecting for a conference but had missed the appointment time. She called to apologize for missing the conference. She then went on to explain why...and she had a really good reason for missing. She "lost track of time" because she was "at Wal-Mart shopping the 50% off Halloween sale". Yes. She went on to explain that she got some really good deals and got the kids costumes for next year for half off. Sigh. This is real life, y'all. I mean, what can I do? I just had to shake my head to it. And then I ran and told 3 other teachers about it for laughs because I knew they'd appreciate it.

I bought this felt Halloween banner at Target a few weeks ago. I thought it would be cute to hang in my classroom and it was being sold for a bargain price of $3.00. I took it out of the package and this is what I saw:

Look closely. Do you see the mistake? I was p-i-s-e-d. Pised.

Have any of you ever had a McRib? I sure haven't and hope that I'm never hungry enough to have to eat one. I always hate the time of the year when "The McRib is back". The commercials just won't quit and it makes me want to barf so hard.
Pigs taste amazing. This I do know. I love pork products, but the McRib? I just find this sandwich suspicious. The meat has fake bones. Pressed meat bones. That's disgusting. Plus ribs do not belong on a toasted bun. It's just not natural.

I love the show Tough Love. I love it so much. I need to find a way to get on that dang show. It's so much better than The Bachelor ever thought of being. Everyone's a winner. Every girl gets to date a guy. Lots of guys. And you get to look at Steve. He's cute and he knows women. Help me, Steve.

Do you all have a facebook purgatory? Facebook purgatory is my friend request holding place. I currently have 21 people in purgatory. Some have been there for a long, long time. A person can end up in my facebook friendship purgatory for a number of reasons: 1. I just don't like you. 2. I don't want you up in my facebook business (this mainly applies to students at my school. I think it's weird to be friends with a 3rd grader). 3. It may be a person that has sent me a request before and I hit 'ignore' at one time. They obviously didn't get the hint because they've tried to hit me up again. I'm too lazy to mess with blocking--so they just sit in friend request limbo land.
This makes me sound like a crappy person since I deliberately ignore these poor people. I deal with things through avoidance. If I avoid it, well, it doesn't exist. Problem solved.

Speaking of friends. Chocolate bars have been my friends tonight. I've made a lot of new friends and they're now hanging out in my belly.

I'm going to admit one of my faults to you all. I suck at emailing. Suck at it. I also suck at phone conversations and listening to voice mails. I'm a fantastic texter though. I'm pretty great at reading emails but I'm horrible when it comes to responding or deleting them. I'm saying this because I've recently acquired some new followers (yay for new friends!) that have left sweet comments. It may take me two weeks, but I usually try to respond to my comments. Almost everyone that has commented lately that is new to my blog doesn't have their email enabled and I can't reply to your comments directly. :( Enable those email addresses, girls. I promise I'm not purposely ignoring you. I don't have a 'blogger follower comment purgatory'. I promise. I really do appreciate and love each comment. They truly make my day and I just want to say thanks. You all are swell.

Happy Almost-Wednesday!
