A Different Type of Thankful!

So here's a different type of counting my blessings list. Forgive any underlying satire or cynicism. I just thought it was time for a laugh!

  1. I'm thankful that the MS Public School System gives us the whole week off for Thanksgiving because without it, my students would surely perish! (Or maybe I would be the one perishing)
  2. I'm thankful that for an entire week I don't have to hear some underage kid holler out "Hey Sexy", "I love you Ms. Rigney", or "I'll call you tonight" all while being molested with his eyes as I walk down the hall. (Wait, I did see that student at the movies last night that desperately wanted me to save him a seat.)
  3. I'm thankful that Mr. Right hasn't entered my life because I don't really have time for him, or if I did, he would probably be chased away by all the under aged kids (and way over aged men) molesting me with their eyes.
  4. I'm also thankful that Mr. Right hasn't entered my life because I have no idea what kind of guy I really want and may have carelessly neglected him. (Oh, I really hope that hasn't happened because if it has, my pickings aren't that great!)
  5. I'm thankful that even though I haven't found Mr. Right, I have enough self respect not to throw myself on guys that are totally not interested in me.
  6. I'm thankful that I live in the South where Deep Fried Turkey is a thanksgiving day staple!
Ok, ok. Really I'm very thankful this year. God has been extremely good to me, and even though I don't have everything I think I want, I have exactly what God knows that I need. I have friends, family, and Jesus Christ. What more could a girl ask for? As I look back over the past few years I recall all the sorrows, tragedies, and heartbreaks. But despite all of that, I'm still standing tall and holding on to my faith. For all of that, I am thankful!

The Shallow Side of the Blog

I pride myself in being balanced. I'm not too liberal or too conservative. I'm not too girly nor too much of a tomboy...etc. Well today I'm throwing my balance to the wind and I'm going to be shallow. I went to the mall in search for a jersey for a friend. Well why I was there, I had to stop by a few stores and check out the clothes. I found not one, not two, but three new skirts. What's even great is that 2 of them are blue jean, and for all of you apostolic girls out there...you know how hard it is to find a good blue jean skirt. One even came with this really trendy scarf belt. I'm very excited about it! I've never noticed how much clothes I actually have. Some of the students have made the comment that I have not worn the same outfit since school started on January 3rd. What's sad, or good, is that they're right. I may have worn a skirt twice, but it was always with a different top. Somehow I still look at my closet and say, "I have nothing ...

American Idol? I think NOT!

Let it be said, American Idol is rigged! I've always thought this, but I know for sure this season, it's true! First, have you ever noticed that they pick certain people to do "stories" about. Somehow 99% of those people end up making it to the top 12. Amazing they have such an accurate record, considering that the shows choosing the top 12 is not pre-recorded? Hmmm?? Have the producers already decided who they want to be the top 12? Secondly, the whole Chris exit . Please, everyone in America wanted Chris to win. Everyone knew Chris was going to win. Personally I think there was some talking going on with him and the producers, he got a good offer and asked to be kicked. I have no proof of that, but it sounds good. I mean, come on, everyone knew Chris was going to win. This week, it was down to Taylor, Katherine, and Elliott. On Wednesday's episode of Good Morning America, they showed footage of both Taylor and Katherine, but didn't of Elliott. Did they kn...
