Nunca

I'm in despair of ever finding a house... maybe I'm too picky? Maybe my living area just sucks? I looked at another house this week and discovered that two students live next door. They're all excited about the possibility that I'll move next to them. I think it's weird. Not only to move next door to people I teach, but also that they're excited for me to live next door. I never wanted any of my high school teachers to live next door.

My aunt and cousins are meeting at the newer house to give me an opinion of the lot. Part of me believes that I just suck it up and stop worrying about all the horrible things that can happen. Roof cave-in; hill-side falls off; toilet back-up; over use of hyphens, etc.! Right now, I like the lot and neighborhood. It would probably be a good investment. It's not exactly the style I like, but it would be easier to change slowly, over an extended period of time. In 6 months I have to be able to pay for school, again. This means the amount of time I have to be spending time and money on extras (like new kitchen cabinets) is rapidly shrinking with each passing week. House shopping is not as fun as shoe shopping.

Giveaway!

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head). CSN.com is letting me hand out a little gift card to one lucky reader! And by little, I mean, a substantial amount. $50 smackers. 50 semoleons. 50 clams, baby. Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
