Garland has got the idea down lol

More yard work. Fix the small leak in my roof if it ever stops raining long enough.
Workout some cause Dr has me on light duty right now. Help the Father in Law with some house work that he needs to get done so the Mother in Law will quit nagging him. Then drink some and when I'm done with that maybe drink a little more.

What a surprise, Cheech jumping on a chance to make a drug reference....

lol I would follow that trend, except I would never drink before going to work.

Today I had to stay after school for detentions and then to wait for their parents to show up... took forever. Then started moving. Tomorrow I finish moving hopefully and then go out woo hoo! but he said it has to be at night because he has a lot of football to watch. I'm hoping to see the new Bourne movie. I also have to grade papers, enter grades, unpack, etc. Then write lesson plans and read books about class management. blah

[Tom Yum]

I know that routine... lol Bourne movie is pretty good in my opinion.

Who cares. Tree seems like someone who legitimately cares about the progress of humanity, atleast in the sense of basic education. She's gonna try to make the world a better place, one child at a time.

I just finished marinating 10 T Bone steaks for my labor day bar b Q. I'll share the receipe.

First poke tiny holes on both sides of the steak with a fork or knife. Then sprinkle meat tenderizer on both sides of the steak, followed with black pepper, accent, season all, garlic powder and onion power. Smother both sides in your favorite bar b q sauce, cover in aluminum foil and let it set in the fridge for 24 hours. Light your charcoal grill and enjoy.

Be sure to have some cold beer handy.

from a botanist and florist to an educator. What made you take the big switch Liz?

I was a docent for the botanical gardens and I'm an herbalist, but those are side projects. My main job was at the public access tv station workin' the front desk, and I hated it.

LOL! It's more like trying to survive in a too-crowded classroom with kids throwing wadded up paper and paper airplanes, knocking over chairs, playing with their cell phones and mp3 players, writing notes, doing homework from other classes, hitting each other, screaming and generally refusing to do any type of work at all. If I could just find a way to engage them so we wouldn't have to deal with endless power struggles all year long... I did bring in improv comedians one day to help teach subplot, parallel episode, etc. but even for that not everyone filled out their graphic organizers... *sigh*

[treelizard]

Mmmmm, beer!

I finished moving, thank God. Way too much activity in my old 'hood.

I know what you mean. I've heard 100's of stories but this day and age, teachers have taken the role of parenting.

Try that same recipe, but instead of BBQ Sauce, use some Worcestershire and a can/bottle of your favorite beer. Newcastle is a great flavor for steaks, as is Killian's.

I prefer to do it with Soy sauce Worcestershire and some Garlic salt (not powder) then I slam the beer and grill the steaks over a hot flame till they are seared. Serve with some crab and bread crumb stuffed baby portabelloo's and you are good to go.

1/4 crab meat
20 baby portabello mushrooms
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 cup mozzarella

Cut stumps off mushrooms
mix bread crumbs egg and 1/2 cup cheese in bowl
Stuff mushrooms with mix
sprinkle other cup cheese on mushroom caps

Baked at 375 for 20 minutes or until cheese is really melty
let stand for 5 minutes to cool
Nosh away.
