A Plethora Of Crap

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. The girls just went back to school yesterday and all ready they have tomorrow off for professional development for the teachers. They have Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and the following Friday (1-20) off. I've had it with this damned school district! My kids have only gone 2 full weeks of school since the start of the school year. If the school district would quit with all the days off, they could be finished with the school year at the beginning of May. As it stands, barring any more snow days, they won't be done until the middle of June.



I hope I have been able to entertain a few of you over the last couple of days. I've been in a humorous mood and I'm not sure why. I guess I'm trying to ward off the Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD). It's hard to stay upbeat when the sun has only shined twice in 18 days. It's kind of blah here in Michigan right now since all the snow melted and it's just plain ugly, brown and muddy. I feel like Mort on Northern Exposure. He was the old guy who bought the funky visor light and wore it 24 hours a day instead of the recommended time. Only instead of a visor I'm using humor to ward off SAD.

On another tangent, MamaKBear tagged me and the challenge was to list your first sentence of each month of 2005. Since I didn't start until the end of September, it won't be too long.

Sept. 2005: Wow, just realizing that life is passing me by and quickly. That was me realizing that I had been married most of my adult life and being with Mr. Sign more than half of my life.

Oct. 2005: People probably don't realize how important signs are. I was trying to have a theme based blog thinking that my life at work would somehow be interesting.

Nov. 2005: A friend that is a professor has a theory about a woman's hair. Me wanting to think that my short hair was somehow sexy.

Dec. 2005: Happy HNT! Pretty self explanitory.

Jan. 2006: You aren't just the life of the party, you are the party! One of those cool tests that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Okay, so maybe that was the Tequila making me all warm.

A long, long time ago, Pantylines tagged me. I'm sure he has waited with bated breath for this:

You've been tagged! Here are the rules;
Five weird habits of yourself

So here we go into the world of the freakish SignGurl.......

1. I only like ketchup on my hamburgers and hot dogs.

2. I read everything including the backs of toilet paper packages and all road signs. I can't let something pass my eyes without reading it.

3. I can't function unless I have showered at least once a day. I can't imagine going into public without a full shower including washing my hair every single day.

4. I sleep entirely in the nude. I can't stand binding night clothes that end up twisting around me. I have to be able to slip and slide around the bed freely. My nickname in bed is Flipper. (I'll leave that one up to the imagination.)

5. When sleeping, I have to have a cover on me. Even if it's hot. It gives me a feeling of security. In the winter I sleep with the window open and have 2 down comforters wrapped up to my neck with only my head poking out.
