i think the weather channel has a faulty thermometer. They claim it's 48 degrees F here but I was just outside and I'm like no freakin' way it is COLD!!! It feels closer to 32 than 50 degrees. We have a hard freeze warning again tonight. Brrrr.

R's wife's facebook page felt like a treasure chest when I found it. He had the basic standard T photo not much else, but it was hers that had photos of him with their daughter at marches, the park, at home,eating pizza, Christmas, holidays. I check hers because I know she updates it. And he laughed when I told him I also found her instagram page and he asked what she'd posted.

I just laugh that the guys I never like, seem to like me and the guys I do like are gay or not interested

Always go with your gut vibe about someone even if they haven't given you any evidence against them.

When I lived in Arizona, after the sun went down, it always felt colder than it was. Especially if you’re accustomed to warm temperatures or just came from inside.

Wait...we’re against William III? And the Glorious Revolution? Them’s fightin’ words!

I am all for anything Glorious, especially if there is swordfighting.

UGHHHH why does my family have to have a new year tradition of cleaning? I am so so tired but still scrubbing things because it's a weird compulsion

She is and thank you.

My sons and I spent the majority of the afternoon doing random acts of kindness. The boys gave people in the store flowers, left money in vending machines and for the pony to ride. Gave the paramedics and firemen cookies, gave a homeless man some money, etc. I hope my boys took something positive away from this.

This was the first year we did it, but I would like to make it a tradition.

downandlonely · Dec 31, 2018, 09:23 PM

I hope you do. It would make a wonderful tradition.

Why am I reading a book Info recommended?

I’m rolling my eyes on average once a page (“the wise woman inside” etc.). And that was just the preface.

What a lovely way to end the year, making the world a little kinder.

I believe in making an attainable and an unattainable New Year’s resolution.

The unattainable one has to do with being more patient with people who insist on being obnoxious about their stupidity.

The attainable one is giving up Oreos.

Or is it the other way around?

DP_2017 · Dec 31, 2018, 10:06 PM

Good luck with the oreos, that would be a nightmare for me LOL

susannahsays · Dec 31, 2018, 10:08 PM

Now I want an Oreo.

Oh, who am I kidding, I want several.

If you want to catch a craving for some sort of foodstuff, this is the place to come. Someone on here mentioned Triscuits a couple of weeks ago. I fought the craving for them for a week before I broke down and bought some. And then some more. They were really good with some Swiss cheese.

susannahsays · Dec 31, 2018, 10:17 PM

lol sorry, that was me with the Triscuits.

I make my syllabi as general as possible for this reason. I give an idea for each week and specific readings but that is it.
