Hodgepodge on a Thursday...

 Sorry y'all. I simply have not had time. The new teacher started Monday afternoon, and I am in the middle of still running classes and training her. Yesterday, I left her in charge while I got caught up on paperwork, writing Disciplinary Reports etc. She has asked me and the boss to keep me on for at least 2 weeks'-so I won't be starting my new job anytime soon.

ANYWAYS...

1. How do you define beauty? 

Beauty comes from within. It comes from one's attitude, confidence, etc. Sure, there are attractive or pretty people, but a lot of them lack the true beauty. Also, some people have a natural disposition that it shows no matter what (beauty) and then there are others who have that disposition in life, no matter how one looks or feels etc., they just have a nastiness about them. (shrugging)

2. Have you ever taken a trip by train? Yes If so, where did you go and what did you think of the experience? We went to Birmingham and New Orleans. We loved it. 

3. Shell shocked, bombshell, bandshell, shellacking, in a nutshell, walking on eggshells...choose one and tell us why you chose it, or how it relates to your life in some way currently. 

Eggshells--been walking on them...especially the last couple of days. I was threatened and this time, it really shook me. Being threatened is nothing new...it happens every single day...but this time, this time it shook me. It took 15 or so officers to bring a girl down-physically...and each of those 15 or so officers took the time to make sure I was ok. It took less than a minute for those officers to get to me. And I was "man handled" to make sure I was ok. I was urged very strongly to go speak to the staff dr.

P.S. Some of you might think that is excessive use of force, unfort. when someone is on drugs, it takes all hands-on deck. And on the previous thought, I have no idea where those officers had come from--less than a minute...wow. 

4. Tacos, pistachios, oysters, clams, eggs...your favorite food on the list that comes in/with a shell? Tacos and eggs. Love them both. 

5. Are birthdays a big deal in your house? They used to be...but now that our son is no longer on this Earthly plain, it has sort of just went to the side...sigh. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Have a great day.
