the earth moved

Just back from seeing the Pink Panther. The people sitting behind me thought it was hilarious. I thought it was so-so. The original was much better. Today's audiences crave so much action that movie was just a collection of sight gags. I kept waiting for the plot line... but it never appeared.

The verdict from my Aunt and cousins was that the house was lacking. Which I already knew - it has no style and no curb appeal. However, they weren't all that impressed with the lot either. Perhaps compared to their riverside 5 acres, it isn't... but none the less, there was no excitement in the reviews. We also met a neighbor who had actually lived in the house for several years. Among the various tib bits of neighborhood information he shared, the most freaky bit was the hill side sliding away. Of course, this house hasn't really moved (even during the earthquake), but one on the next lot had been torn down due to various shifts in ground. Oh, if I plan to stay warm, I should immediately install a heat pump and the owner probably won't come down in price.

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.
