LIFESKILLS...

CELEBRATING/MOURNING....MY "BABY" TURNED 18 TODAY. I'M PROUD OF THE MAN HE'S TURNING INTO BUT I'M ALSO SAD BECAUSE HE'S GROWING UP AND DOESN'T REALLY NEED ME ANYMORE.

Congratulations, Suz. You have accomplished the goal of motherhood: Work yourself out of a job. Well done, sweetie. One of these days you will have grandchildren who need you and you will have all this experience and wisdom to offer them.

I CAN'T COUNT ON GRANDCHILDREN. MY SONS HAVE NO GAME. THEY GOT THAT FROM THEIR FATHER. HE HAS NO GAME, EITHER. HE WAS JUST LUCKY I CAME ALONG AND FOUND HIM AMUSING.

LIFESKILLS: PATIENCE AND DISAPPOINTMENT. WAITED ALL EVENING IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER DURING WORK HOURS FOR A STUDENT TO SHOW UP FOR AN ESL LESSON PER MY CONTRACT. NOBODY SHOWS UP. *YAWN* SIGH. I DID GET SOME WORK DONE, THO. AND I STILL GET PAID.

HE TRIES. HE ONLY WANTED MONEY FOR HIS BIRTHDAY BUT I ALWAYS GET THEM A LITTLE SOMETHING TO GO WITH THE MONEY. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO GET HIM SO WHEN I NOTICED HIM CHECKING OUT ONE OF THOSE SALT LAMPS, I PICKED ONE UP FOR HIM. ANYWAY, HE OPENS IT YESTERDAY AND WAS SURPRISINGLY EXCITED TO GET IT. HE UNWRAPPED IT AND LICKED IT. YEP, IT'S SALT. TURNS OUT HE LOOKED AT THEM EVERYWHERE BECAUSE HE WAS WONDERING IF THEY WERE REAL SALT BUT THEY WERE ALL WRAPPED SO HE COULDN'T TEST THEM IN THE STORE. I TOLD HIM NOT TO LICK HIS LAMP.

LIFESKILL FROM 7/14- TEACHING! MY SECOND ESL LESSON EVARRRR. CHINESE KIDS ARE SO CUTE! THAT DAY'S LESSON WAS A DR SEUSS STORY AND SOME VOCABULARY. THE OTHER LIFESKILL THAT DAY WAS STUDENT EVALS. HAD TO WRITE MY FIRST ONE EVARRR. KINDA DIFFICULT ACTUALLY, CUZ THEY WANTED OBJECTIVE ANSWERS TO RATHER SUBJECTIVE ASPECTS OF CLASSROOM ACTION. ALSO TRYING TO MAKE DANKE STOP BEING SO DAMN GHEY AROUND ME, WITH LITTLE SUCCESS.

LIFESKILLS - DOCTORING

ME AND NUMBER ONE SON HAD EYE DOCTOR APPTS THIS MORNING. THAT WAS A FIASCO. AT OUR DOCTORS OFFICE THEY DON'T PUFF THE AIR IN YOUR EYE ANYMORE. INSTEAD, THEY HAVE A MACHINE WITH A BLUE LIGHT THAT ALMOST TOUCHES YOUR EYEBALL. IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO GET THROUGH THAT TEST. I TOLD THE NURSE MY SON WAS GOING NEED HELP. SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS AN EXTRA GIRL GOING IN TO HELP HOLD HIS EYE OPEN. HE HAS REALLY LONG EYELASHES AND HE WAS JUMPING WHEN THE MACHINE TOUCHED THEM.

I JUST NEED READERS AND I FOUND OUT I WAS A LITTLE NEAR SIGHTED. HE WROTE ME A SCRIPT BUT SAID I DIDN'T REALLY NEED IT IF I DIDN'T WANT IT. HE ALSO FOUND NO SIGNS OF MACULAR. THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY REASON I BOTHER GOING EVERY YEAR IS TO GET CHECKED BECAUSE EVERYONE ON MY MOMS SIDE HAS IT.

HE WAS SURPRISED MY SONS GLASSES WERE SO OFF. I WASN'T. MY SON IS A CREATURE OF HABIT. THOSE ARE HIS GLASSES FROM 3 YEARS AGO. HE REFUSED TO WEAR ANY OF HIS NEW ONES BECAUSE THOSE WERE "BROKEN IN". I'M GOING TO CONFISCATE HIS OLD GLASSES WHEN HE GETS HIS NEW ONES.

NEITHER ONE OF US HAD ANY "BAD CHARACTERS" HANGING OUT IN OUR EYES. THAT WAS NICE TO HEAR.

OH, THAT DOCTORS OFFICE IS NICE. THEY HAVE FREE MUFFINS, COFFEE, PRETZELS, AND FANCY WATER IN THE WAITING ROOM.

OH, I FOUND THE BEST READERS AT TJ MAXX. THREE NICE READERS AND A CASE FOR 10.00. I HAD BEEN BUYING THEM AT THE DOLLAR TREE BUT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THE LENSES AND FRAMES IS HUGE FOR AN EXTRA 2.33 A PAIR.

LIFESKILL: CHERRY PITTING. THE CHERRY PITTER IS A VERY HANDY TOOL AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO COOKS WITH CHERRIES OR JUST EATS THEM. GOT MINE ON EBAY PRETTY CHEAP. JUST MAKE SURE TO PLACE THE CHERRY IN THE MACHINE WITH THE TOP OF THE CHERRY FACING AWAY FROM THE HANDLE SO IT'S EASY FOR THE PIT TO POP OUT. THE BOX SAYS IT WORKS ON OLIVES TOO, BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED IN ON THOSE YET.

I JUST EAT THE CHERRY AND SPIT OUT THE PIT. I'M A PIT SPITTER.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

I JUST EAT THE CHERRY AND SPIT OUT THE PIT. I'M A PIT SPITTER.

I DO TOO IF I'M JUST EATING THEM CASUALLY. BUT WHEN I COOK OR OTHERWISE DO NEAT STUFF WITH THEM, IT'S MORE EFFICIENT TO PIT THEM THAN TO CUT THE PITS OUT WITH A KNIFE OR FOOD SHEARS.

BTW, FOOD SHEARS ARE REALLY AWESOME, SUZ N' [MENTION=39306]Carlybee[/MENTION]. THEY MAKE SHORT AND EASY WORK OF CUTTING UP ANY FOOD YOU CAN IMAGINE.
THIS LADY DEMONSTRATES THE SHEARS I USE:
