Movies!!!

I've seen a lot of great (and a couple not-so-great) movies lately and since I haven't blogged in almost two weeks (sorry), I thought it was time!

Great:
Hunger Games
Hugo
The Princess and the Frog

Not-So-Great:
Young Adult

Young Adult wasn't soooo bad that it made me stop it in the middle, which I do some times, but it was just depressing and no one learned any lessons in the end, "after all that!".   Soooooo... skip it if you can. 

Issues

A few weeks ago, I started getting hives.   I've had them before, usually in connection to some medication that I discovered I could add to my allergies list.  This time, I didn't do anything different except drink some new tea or wear a new watch.  After a week of Waldryl, I thought maybe it was my temporary crown.

The hives went away last Sunday and came rushing back Monday morning!  Dumb!  I treated them for a while and then they didn't bug me any more until they REALLY bugged me and my eyeball started bulging.  No good!   So, I spent Friday afternoon at Urgent Care/ the ER.  Yep, joyful.  Sometimes, I'll do anything to get out of a meeting.

Turns out I have seasonal allergies and I'm "at the right age" to get them every year now.  Oh joy.  At least my I didn't explode.

Get Your Act Together

Now that I've kind of adjusted to Daylight Savings Time, it's necessary for me to get organized and stop being a lazy bum around the house and even around my classroom.  Posters that constantly want to fall off the wall are now pinned up.  Recycling bins are emptied.  Rugs are vacuumed.  Laundry is folded and mail is ready to go.   Whew.  It feels good.

Pi Day

Happy Pi Day!!!

Drab Monday

It rained all day yesterday and I cheered myself with the fact that you don't have to shovel rain.  Yesterday was a long day, though.  Part of it was due to Daylight Savings Time and the other part was having a night of Parent Conferences.   Now, who the heck thought that one through?  Uff.  It was brutal.  Now, on to the rest of the week.

Snow

Starting Wednesday morning, my town has gotten almost non-stop snowfall.  It's kind of ridiculous since we didn't have much snow all season, until now.  It's like Mother Nature just woke up and said "Oops!  Forgot to give you snow.  Let me catch up."  Then, WHOMP!  "That should do it, well, have a little more."   Oy!  It's like she was trying to pay a late fee or something.
