Don't half-ass it

We were watching King of the Hill tonight. My kid copied one of the lines said, "don't half-ass it!" Awesome. I wanted to laugh but I'm a mom, so I just reminded him that wasn't something he should say. It's good advice though. Haha!

Smash entry: where I work-

Picture empty fields and a random building standing in the middle if it. That's where I work. I have a room there with desks sometimes in a row with numbers and formulas pasted on the walls There is a random print of art here and there and when the windows are open, my room is filled with light. In the mornings you can smell coffee brewing and in the afternoon my room smells from the body odor of a couple dozen kids that have come in throughout the day. Yay for hormones. It isn't much but its what we've got. It's a place where if you spend enough time there, you become family. people you normally wouldn't have much to do with, become fast friends. Right now, it's one of the best jobs I've ever had. It's a good place to be.

i hate bills

i hate the fact that i have them. i hate that i forget to pay them sometimes. i hate that i've let certain ones accumulate balances. its tempting to play the lottery just to see if i could win $425 million but its better to just put that money towards bills.

smash journal entry: weather.

the weather started out nice today. little bit breezy but not too shabby. then right after my kids showed up at my work, the temp dropped and it became chilly. i used to like chilly and then i acclimated. now its just a good reason to layer my clothes.  beautiful, sunny, warm changed to cloudy, windy, chilly. hope it gets better.

laters.

smash journal #1

I'm sure you're supposed to scrapbook this but you know, I dont have anything for this right now. Maybe I'll go find another composition book. Oh wait, I have one already. I should just use that. This will be my brainstorming though. the words, and then I can do pictures in the book. word.

1st entry-  MYSELF
I grew up out west. So i would include pictures of mountains and red rock country. Snowboarding and river rafting are my favorite activities. and hiking. Would post pictures of working out stuff, especially swimming. Would post some sarcastic jokes/sayings b/c I'm a bit sarcastic but hopefully not in an entirely mean way. Need math stuff. I teach HS math so I would need to include some nerdy stuff.
Art. would paste in various favorite works of art. Not so much an artist myself but I like to admire other people's work. cooking, or baking. I like both but baking is fun. Cookies are my favorite to make. baseball. my favorite team is the TX Rangers. I cheer for the SanDiego Chargers only b/c my hubby is from SoCal. Really, I should be cheering for the Broncos. And now I can since Peyton Manning is QB.
The page should have lots of color since I like to use a lot of color, which is funny b/c I wear a lot of black.
Photos. would include photos I've taken. I'm not a great photographer but I do like to take pictures of family and friends and various places I've visited.
Music. Holy cow. That should get its own page and I'm sure it will (but I haven't read over the whole challenge so I'm not quite sure) but I should at least refer to the fact that I love it and that I can also play an instrument. Maybe I won't go so in depth but that's just a brainstorm there. Ok. Well that's it for now. I have tons of scrapbooking stuff so I can play with that, perhaps sometime this upcoming week.  word.

Smash journal?

I'm intrigued by this smash journal idea. Not that I'm good at this sort of thing but it could be interesting to try then maybe exchange with a good friend.
