Blue Roses

Well, school district says I can't multi-task, so I didn't get to sub. : ( I was pretty disappointed. But really, when there's a sub I'm usually the one who knows what's going on, anyway, it's just a technicality. <.g>

More importantly? Cubs win!! Cubs win!!!!!!!

My Cubbie Bears!!! Clinched the division title for the first time since 1989!!! Mom had headphones all day while we were at swim and soccer, listening to the game. Then we were home for the end, and WOW! It was so exciting!!!!!!!!

Of course, now we're playing the Braves. And I adore the Braves. Also, fantastic team. I want the Cubbies to go all the way, but I'll be pretty okay if the Braves win. But I am rooting for my boys still. Because, yay!!!!!!!!!

Cute dad from that Mary Kate and AShley show Two of a Kind is playing the father of a twenty something on a new ABC show. Dude, there is no way he's old enough to have a kid that old. He's totally adorable with the guy who plays his partner on the show, though. I'll watch just about anything for him.

WW premiere fucking rocked. I adored Amber Tamblyn's new show, Joan of Arcadia. I think those are going to be my must see shows. Las Vegas was glitzy and fun and I adore Josh Duhamel, but it didn't grab me like Joan did.

Watching Remember the Titans now - fantastic movie. I'm greatly enjoying it.

Due to weird and bad scheduling, I get no lunch on Thursday/Friday, and all five days I do 2:1 work with kids who need 1:1. It's generally not extremely pleasant, honestly. But if I don't take the second kid, the kid is alone and that is very very bad. But my teacher and a few other staff members complained on my behalf, and I got a lunch Friday. Whee! Of course, that was the least of my issues - I don't mind grabbing my sandwich while the kids eat. I just want someone else with the second kid so MY kid gets the attention she deserves and needs. We're still working on that one.

Back to my movie.

But, once again: CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!!!!!!!!! Yeah, BABY!!!

I've been a Cubs fan my entire life, even though I grew up on the North Side of Chicago. I have always loved the Cubs. This. This is my reward. Tied for first, yo. Scores keep up in this and Houston's games, and we'll be sole first. I'd love 'em if they were dead last, but this is quite good enough for me. Go, boys!

Tomorrow, I get to multi-task. I not only get to work as an aide, I get to teach all afternoon! Teacher's going to be out for a doctor's appt, so I'm teaching even with my kidlet also there. Bless that sub's certificate! I think. LOL Going to be a challenge, juggling too jobs at once. But I can't wait!

Back to my cubbies.

Wow! Only an hour, and it's done! I'm so excited, because not only does it look super pretty and how I wanted it, but I learned a lot! I fixed the scrollybars and the dashed lines that have been crimson since Krissy made it, and figured out how to move the three parts of the page up so there wasnt a gap, and lots of other little stuff! It feels so good to accomplish something online again.

If you can't tell, it's supposed to be a quilt design for the banner. LOL Just use your imaginations, okay, it was the best I could do. <.g> I like it. The colors come from two photos I'll try and remember to upload later. The blue and green come from a pic I took during a thunderstorm this summer - the blue from the sky and the green from a tree across the street. I loved how the colors looked next to each other, so I ran for my digital camera. The purple and pink come from a sunset pic that Lady K made a few years back that I've always loved.

I should go to bed, since I have an 8am meeting, but I'm still psyched over my triumph over MT's codes. LOL The soft colors are such a relief after all the blue of Lance.

I am determined to make a headstart in changing the look of BR tonight. Who knows how much I'll get done, so it may be in disarry for a day or so. <.g> I'm gonna miss Lance! He's so pretty. But hey, he's on my desktop and calendar, so I don't want to get sick of him or anything. <.g> The new look didn't come out quite as planned, but hey, it's not bad.

Things proceed apace. My kid's mom doesn't seem to believe how well the school year is going - not sure if she just doesn't like/trust me, or if it's just too good of news to wrap her mind around. Could be both. But I like the munchkin. quite a bit.

I'm sure I had other things to say. Can I remember them? Nope. Rats. Oh, well, wish me luck with the design!
