Okay, I decided that I've been on here long enough to actually put some real photos of myself on here instead of abstract art work.  Now, I hope none of you get too scared after seeing them.  :)

Anyway, they are on my profile page.  Most of them are from school.  Strange thing, before I worked around so many kids with cameras, I had no photos of myself.  I kind of still wish that were the case.  Anyway, most of these were sent to me by my students, otherwise, I'd have none.

Also, I added a link to my MySpace page on my blog.  This is mostly because I can never get any kind of or music to post right on here.  Make me frustrated!

When there is a song I really like, I'll usually put it on my MySpace, so yeah.

Anyway, long story short, there is this amazing new song (as one tough cookie knows) called "Breathe into Me" by a band called Red.  It may be of interest to some of you that they are a Christian Rock band.  I didn't actually know that.  I just liked their music, but I thought it was a nice added plus.

So, I think that's it.

Please listen to the song.  It's AMAZING>>>>

This Dance

(Written for my friend Hector)

Falling upon me

As dust

To an unused

Table

You cover all

That I am.

Once touched

I spend minutes

Hours

Days

Trying to rid

Myself

Of your clinging

Film

Of your

Muddling

Intrusion.

No matter how many

Times

I wipe you away

You return

Almost stronger than

Before

Unrelenting

In your presence.

And intent.

Tonight

I make my stand

As

I strike

The match

And watch it

Fall silently

Igniting

And destroying

This dance

At last...

Well, after much careful consideration I have dubbed myself by royal superhero decree as Mistress Crazy Legs of Boxland.

I must thank my general at arms Captain Underwear for this fine idea.  It is fine indeed.

Also, Gladiator Man....you are much appreciated as well.

Status Update:

Five more boxes packed.

Almost done with the office....

I just have to say you guys (and gals) rock.  Though I will forego the running around in my underwear with a yellow cape screaming at the top of my lungs, I will think about it while I'm packing, which I think in some strange and twisted way, will help.  :)

Anyway, thanks for the support.  How said is it that I get more support from people I've never met than my own "REAL" friends.  Sometimes I think I pick the wrong type of people as friends.  Too bad you all don't live closer. 

Anyway, the status report for today as of 8:57 AM is as follows:

Nine boxes packed

Four taken out to the garage

That's it so far.  I do have to leave at 12:00 to pick up my son in Eau Claire, so we'll see how far I get between now and then.

Thank you again, everyone.  You guys are the best.

I am trying to pack up my house for a move that's going to take place the first week of August, and I seriously think there is something wrong with me.  I'm literally tired before I start. 

Once, I'm able to get a couple of boxes packed, then I just stare at them thinking...hmmm....someone should carry those outside to the garage.  Needless to say, that take another hour or so.

ARGGGHHH...

I think the bottom line is I'm overwhelmed, but I don't know how to get "unoverwhelmed" (yes that's a word). :)

I'm also not sure how I'm getting all this stuff to my new place, as my family is being kind of vague about committing, and I'm too broke to hire movers that aren't free.  :)

Well, sorry for the bitch fest.  I don't feel much better after writing all this, but at least a tad better.

Have a good afternoon all...

I'm going to go stare at boxes.
