a little sight-seeing in not-a-trendy area

 

because I buy ALL my cell phone accessories at the cleaners.

But who knows? Maybe these folks are just ahead of the game. I wonder if I can get a skin for my iPhone there?

I failed. Again.

It’s December 1 and once again I don’t have a novel. I have figured out that evidently it takes me three tries. That means next year! Grand total? 17k.

My good friend Darth says it well:

weird news…all I can say is thank goodness I don’t drive in Korea

South Korea Aspiring DriverThis lady has taken her written driving test 950 times and finally passed. She gets to go for the road test next. You can read the AP article here.

I wonder how many attempts she’s gonna need for that (although I suspect she’s been driving without a license anyway).

distractability and the comfortable shoes

Please note that I am wearing one brown shoe and one black shoe. Yes, I know that’s what I get for getting the same shoe in different colors. I submit to you that as a teacher, comfortable shoes, in whatever color I can find, are a win every day of the week. Mock away.

it’s October! Merry Christmas!

I know, it’s not Halloween yet and I haven’t had my fill of candy corn and bite-sized Snickers. I just thought I’d get into the retail mood. 🙂

Does this annoy you as much as it annoys me? Just wondering.

canoe, anyone?

In case you live in a vacuum and haven’t noticed, Georgia is having a wee bit of trouble with TOO MUCH RAIN! First, there’s a drought and we’re fighting with Tennessee and Alabama and condemning lots of little fish in North Florida to their untimely deaths. Now, we have tragedy of the human kind, including a goofball who thought it’d be a good idea to go swimming in a river losing its banks (that’s what the Darwin Awards are for).

I need to fly outta here in the morning to get to Charlotte, NC before 10:30 AM. I’m still going to have a drive to my destination. Things are not looking good around here.

This is the road I would have taken out of the neighborhood. That lake is the river run-off. It hasn’t even crested yet. I’m thinking I’m going to miss North Carolina in the early fall.
