Photo Fun!

Ok. Ok. Ok. So I've been M.I.A. for a minute. Ok, well... maybe an hour! Y'all (like my southern slang?) it's been more than a notion making everything happen in a 24 hour period! As most of you know, I teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Science to middle school special needs children. If you know anything about South Carolina State Standards, you'd also realize that each grade level has an entirely different curriculum. Beyond inquiry and process skills, no class learns the same material. That rules out teaching the same lesson to different classes :-( Phooey for me. Add that to Special Education paperwork and taking care of my mom, it's a no go for my blog posts!

Fast forward to today. I'm sitting at home due to 6 1/2 inches of snow on the ground. Wow. Snow. Falling on the 1st day of March. Talk about March coming in like a lion! Deep breath. Aaaaahhhhh! It felt so good to sleep a little late and not have the usual deadlines and pressures of work, get home, check on mom, fixing dinner, taking care of the dog, etc bearing down on me. You get the point! Soooo, after doing a few household catchup things, I played around on a website I found out about at a technology conference. It was a great way to relax, relate, release (Go Whitley Gilbert!) and I found myself just playing around with different photo effects. I don't have an earthshattering blog topic today so I'll just post a little of my PhotoFunia work. Enjoy!

Until next time I remain,

Part time gig...

OK folks, I'll write a more serious post later but I wanted to get this one out there... As most of you know, I teach for a living. That's my real bona-fide career. We all know that teachers do not do what we do for the $$ because we get paid pennies. Normally, I'm not one to complain about money and for the most part, I've been happy with the money I make and the benefits that I have. Knuckleheads aside, I truly enjoy my line of work. However. You knew that had to be coming right?? However... with gas and food prices rising with no relief in site, increasing problems with our economy and the decline of the American Dollar it's really putting a hole in my pockets. I personally don't have any major bills. I have two cars in MY name and the titles are tucked away safely in my file cabinet. We own our house and I rarely charge stuff. But we have medical bills in this house that are not going to ease up any time soon. Soo, a friend and I brainstormed some things we could do to bring in extra cash without spending 1 million MORE hours hustling. We came up with trying our hand at SlumberParties. No, not the sleepover kind... Well, we must have expensive tastes because when we started researching and settled on the one we wanted to do business with, we found out, we can't just buy the kit and get started, we have to write an ESSAY to prove we were uninhibited enough to be part of the company!! I guess we went for the motherload of Slumber parties when we chose that one. When I think about it, I can't really blame the company...
Back to the basis of the post though. My Partner was NO WHERE to be found when it was time to write that lovely little essay so I had to produce that erotic story on my own...
Soooo, if you see me sporting some new digs at the end of the summer, you'll know that my essay was OFF DA CHAIN!! Those people who know me would NEVA believe it and I sooo love that!
By the way, the company is eroticanoir, a division of businesses by the Author ZANE...
