Maaaaa. Is it a calculata?

Two posts in one day is a little too ambitious for me. It could be said that I'm bored. I thought I would share the most quoted SNL skit of the Croft family Christmas. It's not even that funny, but it seemed to be at the time.



**Note: BonQuiQui has not lost her place in our hearts. She was the second most quoted on Christmas.

SportsMEN of the Year

Can you guess who that might be? The pic is of some of my favorites this year: Derrick Rose, Antonio Anderson, Joey Dorsey, Robert Dozier, and Chris Douglas-Roberts. Now, given, they were chosen as Sportsmen of the Year by the Memphis newspaper--but that doesn't make them any less to me. The article in the Commercial Appeal really explains how important they were to the city. You can read it here.

Ho, ho, ho?

Today I actually witnessed 6th graders vigorously debating the reality of Santa Claus. I didn't think kids would seriously fight about these kinds of things, but they certainly do.

Don't tease me like that.

Long time, no post! Sorry for the lack of updates....I have no excuses. However, I do have a complaint (no surprise).

We had a SNOW DAY on Friday. Needless to say, this qualified for "BestDayEver" status in my book, especially since I had prepared by bringing home all of my papers to be graded. Tonight, there appears to be an even better chance of ice, snow, and general winter nastiness in the Nashville area. They even canceled all of the after-school activities today. However, they haven't made a decision about school tomorrow. So every child, teacher, and parent in the mid-state area is anxiously sitting by the phone awaiting a call from the board.

Such a call just came!! I ran to the phone with excitement not seen since Vanderbilt beat UT. I answered it with my heart beating as if Memphis were about to win the NCAA Tourney. You know what she said?

"Please come to a recpetion we are hosting for the Superintendent candidates."

Can I put my name on the "Do Not Call" list for my employer?
