Everything Is Going To Be All Right
I am losing over three thousand dollars off my cheque this month. Raise your hand if you know who is not happy about this. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Holy Monies, Gramma!
On Saturday the girls and I stopped to fuel up the Sunfire and ourselves before heading to the wilds of Moose Jaw. Peanut took the receipt from the clerk, and as I was holding the door for her, she stopped and exclaimed, "Forty-three seventy-nine! That's a LOT of monies, Gramma!" LMAO! I was soooooooo impressed, as she is barely seven. Sadly, my enthusiasm led to her recitation of every monetary amount on the receipt, which took us well out of the city. Ugh! *L*

So You Think You Can Dance?
The school had its first dance of the year on Heart Day. In typical fashion for this particular school, it was a flop. The kids did not dance, they just ran around. I have never seen a group of kids more adverse to moving their bodies. It made me think of this video :



Yes, that is how the students at my school dance. Sad.

I Finally Saw One!!
I was outside the school at lunchtime today, enjoying a breath of fresh air - ie smoking. While out there, one of the school taxis pulled up. While the driver went to find a missing kid, he asked me to watch a kid already in the taxi. I carried on listening to my iPod and smoking, not really paying attention to the kid. Then I turned to check on him.

He was licking the window.

I swear. Licking the window, tongue all big and fat. When he saw me he stopped immediately but the damage was already done. I turned away so he would not see me laughing, but I was close to crying at that point. When the driver came out I told him, "He's fine, but he was licking the window." Then I proceeded to burst out laughing again!

When I first saw the kid licking the window, I soooooo wanted to message Chris, but I resisted. I am so proud of me.

I Brake For Naughty!
The son was over tonight with his girlfriend, picking up a mail delivery slip. He was sorting through the stack of mail he has delivered here and was very pleased to find some weird sticker had arrived. He explained it is a decal for his third brake light. He was nice enough to order one for me. So in a week or so from now, every time I hit my brakes, people behind me are going to see the word NAUGHTY flash up at them ... LOL!

Anyway, that is enough of an update for now. I think I have gotten most of what I wanted to record down. Oh no wait. There is one more thing.

I Am Not A Word Nazi
Over the past few days, I have been repeatedly called a word Nazi. I am saddened by the fact that my love of words is misconstrued as anything so awful sounding. To add insult to injury, the word Nazi conjures up such awful images! I hate to be associated with such a word in any capacity. It saddens me. Of course, I have not failed to notice the irony that I am bothered by a word that is used to describe my love of words.

*sigh*

All right, that is it. I am out of witticisms, and headed off to run amuck elsewhere.
