I can’t believe that it has been almost a month betweeen posts. I remember when this place was a cathartic haven for me. Thoughts, feelings, rants, raves. Anything to just GET.IT.OUT. I don’t know what has changed. I’d like to say that I don’t spend as much time in front of the machine, but that [...]
Book of Dork: Cooking.

I thought I was done laughing at myself, for this week, at least.
NOT SO, little grasshopper legs.
The stove, she has other plans in store for me.
At the beginning of the year, TP (teaching partner) and I signed up for the last breakfast month, thinking that it would be the end of the year, and that [...]
Book of Dork: Episode #53256

I am not even going to pretend that getting back into the swing of things, runningly speaking, has been easy. I went from triathlon shape to NO shape. But hey, 5 weeks of wheezing and rasping will do that to a gal. I am only thankful that it was bacterial, so the antibiotics did their job. [...]

What a strange day it has turned out to be.
You never know when your ex husband is going to jump up and bite you in the proverbial ass. As opposed to the actual ass, which he attempted – I think I smacked him in the face. Sorry. TMI. See what cough medicine does to a [...]
Stupid Girl

Apparently, some people should come with a warning label. I’ve decided that I come with many. We all know that “Does NOT Play With Others” is my biggest one.
The newest?
“NEEDS to be SUPERVISED” at all times.
I don’t really keep it a secret that I take vitamins, fat burners and supplements. Sometimes I try them out [...]
Conversations with my Father: #422839

Every year, our 3rd grade has a HUGE project, called the International Thanksgiving Tasting Party. It’s great fun. The kids research an ethnicity, learn a bit about the country, and end the project with a dish representing their chosen country.
Last year, and this year, my partner and I gave the kids an option for extra [...]

Somebody up there is making sure I don’t take myself too seriously.
As a teacher, I always try and instill in my students that they need to know what to do “WHEN” not “if” (because life is life, and something inevitably will go wrong) something goes wrong. Specifically, are your going to let your knickers get [...]
Ronald McDonald Run (ning on Empty).
Posted by: missconstrued on: July 30, 2008
It was a great event overall. I raised 700 dollars with Momma’s help, came in 11th out of 43 in my age division, and 257th out of 895. Not too bad. It was a fantastic feeling to have the rest of my family with me at a stateside event like this. I know if dh had been [...]
A Trip to Remember: Day 4
Posted by: missconstrued on: April 16, 2008
All right kids! This is where the notes get really almost indecipherable. In my defense, I was so WANTING to LIVE IN THE MOMENT, that I didn’t want to spend TOO much time squirrelled away in my notebook. I spend enough time writing my life away, I wanted to live those moments in the moment. [...]
A Trip to Remember: Day 3

FIrst things first: Here’s a little unfinished business:
Here is my dinner, awaiting impending cooking. He was frothing at the mouth at this point, so we tied him up to the ropes to dry out. Notice the use of the palm frond. Who needs a pot when you have this?
MG and I, attending to the fish [...]
