I wanted boiled eggs for lunch, but it is too selfish to boil enough eggs (6) to fill myself up, so I made Top Ramen instead. The Ramen didn't cut it, so I ended up boiling eggs, too. Just not 6 of them.

Steve got up with the baby this morning so I could sleep in, but, even though I was way tired, I just lay in there and felt guilty for sleeping in.

I sat at the elementary for an hour, doing nothing, because I'm too much of a doormat to go to the office and ask the very nice receptionist to page the teachers.

Vicarious Blogging
My best friend (you know who you are) has a hilarious life and has decided that blogging is not for her, so I'm doing it for her.
She's originally from Argentina and has a very heavy accent. Money's tight, so she registered to be a substitute teacher. She finally gets called to teach, and it's 12th grade Honor's English.
Yes, English is her second language.
No, she's not comfortable teaching it.
Nor is she comfortable with teenagers.
Who want to physically fight each other over whether or not they're gay.
The highlight of the day, however, was when a student asked a technical question, and she responded, "I don't know. Google it." Especially since she found out later that students aren't allowed to Google anything.
Or was it when the students had to quote Macbeth to her, and when asked if they did it correctly, she said, "I don't know."
Ah, Cecilia. The joy you bring to my life.

Hair Dying Adventures
My mom and I have been going to this beauty school that's near our house to have our hair done because it's about half the price of a regular salon. Well, with Christmas coming up, I didn't want to spend even that much on myself, so we ended up buying hair dye at Wal*Mart and dying each other's hair. We discovered some very important things:
1)Hair dye comes off of all surfaces, including skin, with frightening ease if you use a baby wipe.
2)If your local grocery store doesn't have the hair dye brushes that salons use, cheap-o house painting brushes work just as well.
3)Medium Brown hair dye looks like very dirty pudding.
4)Bright Auburn hair dye looks exactly like grape jelly.
5)It's really quite easy to dye someone else's hair, and worth it when the dye kit is $2.25 on sale.
On another note, my parents bought us a new couch for Christmas (whoot-whoot!), and my dad drove it to our remote location. As we were driving, we passed a car that had a live chicken in the back window. The chicken was white with black spots. And it was pecking the back of a girl's head.
The car was also quite nice, which didn't fit in well with the whole situation.
And as I couldn't sleep last night, the probing question that wouldn't leave me alone is: How a bat goes from flying to hanging upside down in a cave? Do they scrabble around for a hold? Do they quit flying? Sadly, I can find no videos to assuage my grief-stricken curiosity.
