rhyming doesn't necessarily mean poetry

this morning, i got up and made breakfast and when i looked over, bruno had gotten into the pantry and gotten out the treats with the yorkie on the front. he's the smart dog.

and then he just looked up at me as if i had asked him to please get his treats out of the pantry, which by the way, i did not.

it figures that my washer is down again. i will be calling in tomorrow for a replacement. no more band-aid fixes..this time even climbing on top of it didn't help..i probably should've called the office sooner when it started shimmying and shaking after they 'fixed' it last time. i heard some rattling, and two of the little metal clasps..brackets (?) were at the bottom of the tub. i thought-fluke..the next time i washed, two more came off...questionable.

today at school we did some poetry and the boys are very confused by it. "i'm happy today because i hate my maid." i had to explain that a.) it didn't rhyme, and b.) it didn't make sense. they were having a rough time. tomorrow we'll read more shel silverstein and hopefully it'll help us create some poets. (some of the humor is wasted on them).

and our poor little old school is getting a make-over, and this means asbestos-type stuff removal...hmm. so some of us (ME) are required to pack e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g up into boxes. they brought by 9 medium size boxes. i laughed. i'm sure they must have had a camera around somewhere to capture our responses! i don't think it's going to happen...but i could be wrong (unless they allow me to use my own storage containers as well). i will say this: most of the stuff i am packing is books, and books are heavy. the movers will earn their wages!

tomorrow's tuesday!! neighbor-takes-trash day! woo hoo! have i got some trash!!

ok, getting frustrated with the twitter ap on my phone-it won't accept my password...boo. does it not interface with the twitter acct on my computer? what's up with that? stupid phone. unless bruno changed my password again...

tried to make envelopes using the mylar balloons i got back on my birthday because they are so pretty, but i just learned that mylar does not glue down to card stock. it peels right off-a there. they were looking so good too!
so now it's on to the maps and calendars. i like making cool envelopes because it makes me feel like i really should send a letter and not let the cool envelope go to waste. (picture coming when i actually make 'em).

good night,
