The fireworks were amazing here tonight. Hope you all had a wonderful and safe July 4th.

Barbie survived this year.

For two years now I have had long hair.  I’m tired of it. It’s boring. So this Saturday my hair is going the way of the dodo. I’ve picked out a lovely, very short cut and a nice new color.  I will have to post before and after pictures this Saturday.

Working with little kids now I have discovered a whole new world of insults and put downs.  After years of teaching sixth graders I learned there was very little difference between adult insults and that of an 11 or 12 year old. The vocabulary and intelligence was the same between them and most adults.  However, the younger you are, the better the insults seem to be.  It’s the simplicity I believe. How often do you get called a “hiney head” or with a look of pure evil be told “you’re not my best friend”. Yet even with all the venom there is also nothing as sweet. As soon as they would call you a ‘booger brain’ they will then tell you they love you and you’re they’re best friend.  So it also seems that little kids are suffering from border line personality disorder.  Now go do something else you “silly frog face”.

Having a bit of extra time this morning the husband unit and I went to one of our favorite cafes to have a bit of breakfast and coffee. While we were sitting outside a man walked past us and made eye contact with me. Big mistake. He looked at me with bleary eyes and said “Hi. Do you know where I can go here to get a beer?” Seeing as how it was 8:45 I said “Not a clue. It’s a bit early for me.” My amiable husband just directed him down the line and said he might find something elsewhere. Not to sure why the guy bothered to ask us, as he still had enough in his system to get him through to this evening.
