Well, hello there!

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 30, 2008

Oh, the joy!  The bliss!  A practically empty house and The Day!
Hubby has taken the Big Three to Williamsburg for Oldest to play in a soccer tournament.  The only reason BabyKid gets to stay here is because he has an Extended Lazer Tag Birthday Party just down the street from where I need to spend [...]

I JUST wanna work I DON’T wanna play on the drum all day

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 29, 2008

I have a new place!  It is a closet room/office off the K-1 Large Group room.  And I also have a task:  Create a 13 piece puzzle for our Fall Unit.  It needs to hang.  And be colorful.  And make sense.  And fit together.  I need to be there today, but instead I have been [...]

What not to NOT wear…one can only hope

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 27, 2008

Life is like Ross Dress for Less.  You nevah know what you’re gon’ git.
(But you can be pretty sure it will be 100% polyester.)
But shopping alone is reason for a celebration post and I am easily pleased and besides, Stacey and Clinton have yet to pop up and offer me $5000 so this is the best I can [...]

Am I ready for some football? You talkin’ to me?

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 25, 2008

Are you asking ME if I’M ready for some football?  Well, I don’t rightly know.
 
I do know that it was a safe distraction to lure the 8 year old away from MI “hackey” by speaking freely of the awesomeness of football down south.
 
I do know that he looks oh, so cute in his uniform,

but even his game face has a hint [...]

Best Dream EVER

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 23, 2008

I woke up just before dawn with a memory of potentially the Very Best Dream I Ever Had.  It must be all the Tivo and Fall TV commercials working their subliminal magic, because I dreamed I was on “Dancing with the Stars” and my partner was Jim Halpert (aka John Krazinsky) from The Office!   I mean, [...]

Big Day

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 22, 2008

I’m excited, thrilled, anxious, happily wiling away the minutes until I go to my new job at SBCC!  Soon I will have a desk and a new additional email address and maybe some pens.  As I got ready I kept hearing Stacey, Clinton, Nick and Carmindy conversing with me, instructing me, in turn, due to the [...]

Rebuttal: Tuesday People

FYI…read “The Dreaded Tuesday People” post first down below or this won’t make you laugh.  As much. 

Geez, Tuesday People!  Don’t be so defensive!

Salty Stuff

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 20, 2008

My Sister’s Coming to See Me!  And I am so excited.  Boy, will I have a lot to share THAT week. 
 
This week?  Notsomuch.
 
But I will tell you about the salty brownies. 
 
Way back in June/July 2008 when life in VA was fresh and new and I was not stagnantly waiting for school job something to happen, [...]

The Dreaded Tuesday People

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 19, 2008

I am a people person.  Really, I am.  My last Myers-Briggs said so.  And the people around me say so, be they friends, or aquaintances, or those lucky enough to be standing in front of me in line at The Walmart.
 
But I am having SUCH a problem with The Tuesday People.
 
I have been going to [...]

Personality Profile Paranoia

Posted by: automatic7 on: August 18, 2008

…brought to you by the letter “P”
I had an interview last week for a position in Children’s Ministry at www.springbranchcc.com that I assume (yes, I know what “ass u me” stands for.  Still.)  went fairly well, since I remain “in process.”  After the interview, it was requested that I take a personality test.  I had taken a paper version of [...]
