What an odd feeling it is to find myself typing a one digit number as the title for a blog post! I don't know how often anyone else does this, but I found myself looking through my blog archives this morning. This blog was started by someone who had given up all hope and was neck-deep in the mire around him, seeing no way out. It was amusing to see the progression from this depressed, hopeless individual to someone who is full of bright hopes and is about to embark on a new chapter of life. In the last six months, problems have arisen, and most have either been solved or have gone away. I think that's the best thing about starting a blog, that one gets to see time passing and the Lord working in one's life - well, all that and being invited to Oklahoma for CCR and tasty Calf Fry!

Today was the closest I've been this year to getting to work late... I got there right as the bell was ringing for students to report to class. No worries, but had I been a minute later it might have caused a problem. Usually, on Mondays, I want to drag my weekend out for as long as possible. Does this happen to anyone else? It's a good thing I don't have a Monday morning duty post!

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Our principal arranged for the Mary Kay lady to give us free samples of some "satin hands" products. My hands feel quite nice... so nice, in fact, that I purchased some of the product - for my wife, of course!

For some reason, after an initial "wtf?" that was pretty funny.

"Satin hands" products? Thanks for the beauty tip! Must get me some of that! ;)

I have often tried to drag the weekend out for as long as possible. But today was my last Monday at school! I have only three more days to go. :)

Glad to hear that things have changed so much for the better for you.

Tasty calf fry...speak fer yerself, ya hear? :-)

I read my archives too (and everyone else's), every once in a while. I don't know what's different about me.

I read that as "Satan Hands" and my first thought was "who the heck would wear that?" Yeah, a blog will reveal many interesting truths to you... such as why you shouldn't post when you're drunk. Also, why you shouldn't post when you're angry at someone... Because you can hit delete, but once that person reads it, you're screwed... I pretty much think about everything i'm going to post, and if it's goofy enough, or tame enough, it gets the green light.
