Why?

*Why did the last season of Gilmore Girls stink?
*Why did Lorelai leave Luke for Christopher?
*Why have they made us believe for 6 seasons that Luke and Lorelai were meant to be and then just slap us in the face???
*Why can't I decide if I want to keep GG on DVD? (I bought them, then returned them, then bought them again!!)
*Why do all TV shows have to turn schmutty (except Phil of the Future)?
*Why can't I have Luke if Lorelai isn't going to love that hunk of a man?
*Why do I still want Rory and Dean to be together?? (or at least have her hook up with Marty... he was so cute!)

p.s.

Amazing Race starts tonight and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited. I seriously love that show! I am a little bummed that it is on Sundays but am glad it is on earlier. My friends are having a party next week to watch the premiere and next weeks episode- while eating food from around the world! I have thought about waiting to watch it all then- but who am I fooling! I can't even wait until the next day to watch it let alone a whole week!! Any ideas for yummy food I can bring? Hawaiian haystacks? Ha ha! That would be funny- in a tacky sort of way!

The mall...

I went to the mall on Friday to return some stuff to Old Navy. I have only been to this mall twice before and both were quick in and out jobs! I couldn't remember what Old Navy was by so I took a guess- and was TOTALLY wrong. I was on the exact opposite side! Oh well. I took a lovely walk through the mall. On my way back to my car, I passed the Yankee Candle store and there was a cell phone on the floor. I kinda stopped, looked at it, looked around trying to figure out what was going on! I didn't see anyone running towards it so I picked it up and went to find a place to turn it in! Luckily there was a directory right there- I found security so I fight my way through the food court and ... there were doors that said "no entry!" Umm... okay. So I walk back to the directory and find information. Of course it was right below where I started so I just took the escaltor down and gave it to the guy. He didn't ask me any questions or thank me or anything. Just took it and went back to playing solitaire or whatever he was doing! When I first picked up the phone I thought- maybe I am on a show like Dateline or 20/20 when they do those studies to find out how honest Americans are!! I love those shows! After dropping off the phone I carried on my way and a girl stopped to ask me where the main entrance was (do malls have main entrances???) I told her I didn't know but I pointed her in the direction of the Information booth! After than I was convinced I was on TV to see how helpful Americans were... but no! I walked to my car without being stopped my the reporter to ask me why I did what I did. Oh well. It was interesting watching the people as I tried to figure out whose phone it was. There were 3 teen girls that seemed to be walking really fast and somewhat panicked. I am sure it was their phone- or maybe there was just a really great sale at Abercrombie and Fitch! ha ha!

One week down, 39 (or something like that) to go!

The second week of school is about to begin... I don't even know what I am doing tomorrow. I better get on that. Yikes. But- so far so good. I had a few kids that started being their angelic selves the second day! HELLO! Don't they know they are supposed to be well behaved the first week- then they can let their personalities shine!!! Apparently they didn't get the memo! I just need to learn how to deal with kids that act up just to get the laughs of the class. One kid I had to sit next to me while we played a game. And every time he went to talk I said "(his name), CONTROL!. Suprisingly- that did it. But I am NOT going to do that every day!
It is weird - in every single one of my classes, I have at least 2 people with the same name- 3 Katherines (one with a C) -in 2 classes, 2 Garretts, 2 Farids, 2 Hayleys, 2 Taylors, 2 Alexs, I am sure I am missing some. So not only do I have to learn names, but last names too! I think I need to come up with some fun nicknames. The Spanish teachers rename all their students with spanish names, I could rename them with sewing names- like blind hem, pin cushion, and pattern guide sheet. Ha ha!

My mailman makes me laugh~

Whenever we get a parcel in the mail, he hides it under our doormat... like no one but us will notice. It doesn't matter the size of the package- big, medium, small! We did get this big box once and he put the mat on top. I don't know if he seriously thinks it hides it or he just does it to be funny. Either way- it makes me laugh. Here is a picture of what I came home to today. I am so excited that the thing I ordered from Joann.com came today!!! I can't tell you what it is... not yet. Maybe when I finish it.

I really want chips...

I am totally craving potato chips... and have been for a few days. But I am trying to be good and not buy any! But I do have a bag of Ketchup chips in my closet... I promised them to my home teacher- but if he doesn't come soon, he's going to be out of luck!
p.s. apparently some guy is selling these on ebay(where I got the picture)- you have to buy 400 of them. Yowza!

I am a sucker...

For colored food and anything superman! Put them together and I will FOR SURE buy it. And then it is in the clearance section in Target- HELLO! Check out this awesome cereal! It is Captain Crunch with superman shield shaped crunch berries. When you pour the milk on they turn blue and so does your milk. I had to have a second bowl so I could take some pictures!
Here I sit waiting for new tires to be put on my car... I got a ride from their "Shuttle" so I didn't have to sit there all day! The guy didn't talk to me the WHOLE way- thank goodness it was only a short drive. Then when I told him "It's the next left" he goes to turn right. I said "No! the next LEFT."(politely- and even pointed left) He proceeds to signal for the next right! Finally he got it figured out. I was all prepared to watch Regis and Kelly and there is some press conference with President Bush. Come on! What is this world coming to when a girl can't get her last fix of Regis and Kelly before school starts. Oh well!

I love this...

Picture!

It makes me laugh everytime I look at it. It was outside the Chamber of Commerce in Preston... the lady was gone for lunch and we were too scared to ask someone to take it for us (we didn't want to look like dumb tourists...) so I rested my camera on the door handle! Ha ha! love it! And here is the van. How cool would it be to drive that every day to school! i would be the coolest teacher EVER!
