So I know people on Facebook are upset about the new changes. I’m not here to discuss those changes. I’m here to discuss the phenomenon that is couples as one person on FB. I hate this. Because usually I’m not friends with the couple, I’m friends with one of the two people. So half the time when they post I don’t know who is actually posting. And then when you comment and it’s the other person and you thought that it was your friend they ask who are you? I’m C’s friend. Oh. Yes, oh. If you are going to make a joint account maybe only friend the people who you know together as a couple. Maybe only friend other people that are on joint couple accounts. Interestingly enough, most of the people I know that have these joint accounts usually have them because the significant other wants to make sure that nothing is going on behind their back. If you are at the point where you don’t trust what your spouse is doing on Facebook, maybe you should spend less time on … [Read more...]
Drawing a blank…
I keep staring at the blank page and so I am just writing something down. Anything. So here you go: 1. You can’t argue with crazy because they think they are always right. 2. I’m happy Trader Joe’s carries varieties of goat’s cheeses…not just goat cheese like you know goat cheese. 3. Saw the movie The Kids Are Alright….and well. Hmmm. I know it won awards and all but boy was that movie, well odd. 4. I correctly guessed that my friend’s baby would be a girl. You may not think this is exciting but in the last 4 years I have been 22 out of 23 in correctly guessing the sex of my friends soon to be babies. And I am still waiting for proof on the one incorrect guess. 5. Schweddy Balls ice cream is a real thing. It’s also hard to find. My bff went to several stores to hunt it down for me. We like it. We even bought another pint of it…only to anger a woman who was also looking for it. As we knew where it was and she didn’t and she was talking about it on the phone … [Read more...]
Everything falls apart….
“Everything that falls apart baby, sooner or later gonna come back together Well everything that comes together baby, sooner or later falls apart” –Dog’s Eye View You may have noticed on Facebook if you are on there a bunch of you know you’re from Some City when kind of posts. Well, the very first school I ever taught at started their own page. It’s been quite amusing/embarrassing seeing what the student and teacher remember from back in the day. This has also led to many a student hunting me down and friending me. It has also led to them opening up to me about their lives just like they did in junior high. I think once you gain a kids trust it just kind of sticks with them. And while I sugar coat every food item I seem to make, I do not sugar coat life. Which they often tell me I was just the kick in the pants they needed. :) One of my students is going through something incredibly painful. I have listened to her and tried to be there for her as much as one can … [Read more...]
