Random thoughts

I have had some really random thoughts this evening, and decided a blog is the perfect place to record them. This may end up being just a single post; and it may end up being several. We shall see.

Earlier this evening I was watching "Sesame Street" clips on You Tube. Where would we be without You Tube? It is great to be able to re-watch some of my favorite childhood moments. In particular I love the Yip Yip aliens. Uh huh, yip yip yip.

I also watched a few commercials and find myself wondering, what ever happened to ring

around the collar? It was such a problem in the 70s and 80s and seems to have completely disappeared.

A few months ago we had an anniversary party for one of my co-workers. She has been with the library for 10 years. It was a chocolate themed party, and a good time was had by all. This inspired one of my co-workers to plan a Cheese Appreciation Day. Again, yummy. It was followed most recently by Dippable Foods Appreciation Day. I actually didn't participate. Too scared of it becoming Double-dipping Appreciation Day. You may recall "Mr. Humphries" from a previous post. He suggested Green Foods Appreciation Day for this coming Monday. Sadly, workplace rules and regulations prohibit green beer on the premises, but I think it is going to be a good time. I went out tonight and bought white cake mix, white frosting, and food coloring. I'm thinking one shade for the cake, and another for the frosting. Hee hee hee...

"Grey's Anatomy" isn't coming back on until April 24. Gah! Five more weeks. I need my Doctor McDreamy fix. Actually, I have been re-watching my Season 1 dvds. I have Seasons 1 and 3, and have plans to buy Season 2. I just got a 25% off coupon from Barnes and Noble, and am expecting a $25 gift card since my credit card billing period just ended. Can we say just-about-free- dvd!!!

Every once in a while I read the local news in the hometown daily paper. This evening I was reading an article about a Board of Education meeting, and at the end it mentioned, "Also during the meeting, the board of education unanimously accepted the resignations of husband and wife administrators [Ms. X] and [Mr. Y]." WHAT??!!?? Since when are those two married? I thought I knew all the gossip in the high school. It must be a recent thing because I am pretty sure that while I was in high school she was single.
Before Mr. Y rose to his current position of Assistant Principal he was a junior high English teacher. I have two vivid memories from his class. One was when he used Billy Joel's "Storm Front" album to teach us about poetry (very cool) and one is from a vocabulary test. I couldn't remember the meaning of the word 'erroneous'. Then a line from "Singing in the Rain" popped into my head, "Moses supposes his toes are roses, but Moses supposes

erroneously."I'm pretty sure I still did lousy on the test, but I have never forgotten the meaning of erroneous.
Sometime between when Mr. Y was my English teacher and when he became Assistant Principal, he got arrested for DUI. What a fabulous roll model, don't you think?
