things i learned today in high school

  1. If you use dynamite in the water, it'll stun the fish. This actually works. There's a guy in town here who does this.
  2. You can probably blow up a car with only one stick of dynamite.
  3. For only $200 you can get your commercial fireworks license. Then you can get cheap fireworks.
  4. "Toddler sheep" taste better than old sheep.
  5. Switch camels.
  6. Normally hardworking 40S students will accomplish nothing in the presence of a substitute teacher.
  7. Having elastics on your braces should entitle you to a handicap parking tag. It also lables you a cripple.
  8. You can turn your windshield washer fluid in order to squirt the squeegee kids.
  9. Hacking is not that hard. That's why it's so easy.
  10. Using a vacuum cleaner is an acceptable way to put your hair in a ponytail.
  11. Coloring on your peers is a hilarious way to pass the otherwise boring time.
  12. Asking to go to the washroom is code for "can I go wander around the school for 30 minutes?" Also usable - "I left my book in my locker. Can I go get it?"
  13. If you race a train, and go at the last second, you can get the train conductor to use his emergency breaks. This is hilarious and apparently very expensive. If you are going to do this, you should cover your license plate with cardboard first, but only just before you race the train. After all, it is illegal to cover your license plate.
  14. An hour into class it's still hilarious to write all over your peers. The fun never dies.

Yep, computer hacking. The funny thing was the way he said it. "Hacking isn't that hard. That's why it's so easy." He was dead serious.

No, my secret alias is not Mia. MIA = missing in action. I have been avoiding posting on here. Why? Because I don't have a ton of stuff to write about. Also, I've discovered that my blog is being followed by a couple of people I'm not related to. Although I'm super excited about it, I'm also a little intimidated! Sounds silly, I know. Hear me out. You know how you can be a teenager (I'm not a teenager, we're just being hypothetical) and have big thick coke bottle glasses, zits all over your face, big baggy pants and a baggy sweatshirt hiding the rolls hidden underneath and a perm that went very very wrong and is now only curly on ONE SIDE and your mom still tells you you're beautiful and she'd love to trade faces with you? You know how that feels? You don't have to question it too much, because she's your mom and you know she's probably a little biased. Blogging is a little like that. Until now, only my friends have read my blog. I coul...

christmas time's a coming

Only 23 days until Christmas! Remember when we were kids, and Christmas was all about time off school, lots of treats (chocolate, candy canes, oranges, turtles!), new Christmas dresses for the church concert, lights, music, decorations, noisy and exciting gatherings at Grandma's house, Christmas episodes of our favorite tv shows and of course presents! The list goes on and on. I still find Christmas exciting. Yet, now the season holds more than just the "fun" stuff. Now we have to worry about scheduling in all the different families and parents, buying gifts we can't necessarily afford, making dishes to bring to the different gatherings, hoping that people will understand that we need to share the holidays with many others, and hoping that nobody will be hurt if our time with them is short. I wonder if I'm doing a good job of making the holidays fun and enjoyable for my kids, and if I've bought the right gifts. I worry about what five days in a row of late ni...

the snowsuit

I really must go back and tell you about . . . duhn duhn duh . . . the snowsuit . I've most certainly kept you in suspense far too long. Remember last winter when there was no snow, but it was still cold enough to freeze puddles and require kids to wear winter clothing? Good, we're caught up. Jordan is really hard on outerwear. Last year she destroyed a pair of skates, lost various mitts and tuques, shredded her first pair of winter boots and left her snowsuit looking like swiss cheese. The boots and snowsuit were done before Christmas. I made her wear the snowsuit for the rest of winter anyway and the boots I replaced after Christmas. It's amazing that a six year old child can ruin a rather expensive snowsuit in a few short months. I blame mother nature. Mother nature thought it would be funny to make it cold and icy out without actually giving us snow. Of course children want to run and drop to their knees or tummy on frozen puddles and slide to the other side. Of ...
