4/20

In the last few minutes of this waning evening I think about how today takes a minute to chill and celebrate stonners everywhere while stonners everywhere take a minute to celebrate getting stonned.  Since I'm a just-say-No kind of gal, I decided to celebrated today by really honning in a picking my favorite stonner flick. 
...

So after much mulling, it turns out that I don't really like stonner movies.
But luckily for the sake of supporting a national holiday I was able to dig to the very far reaches of my brain to remember a movie that poked my funny bone and carved out a place in my heart for all the pot heads in the world.

AND THAT MOVIE IS...
Dude where's my Car
Pineapple Express
THE BIG LEBOWSKI

Aren't' these just beautiful men?

The Dude: Also, my rug was stolen.
Younger Cop: The rug was in the car?
The Dude: No. It was here.
Younger Cop: [eager] Oh, separate incidents.
Maude Lebowski: [on answering machine] Jeffrey, this is Maude Lebowski. I need to see you. I'm the one who took your rug.
Younger Cop: Well. I guess we can close the file on that one.

**I think we should honor the stonners of this country by adding the word "stonner" to the Microstoft Word dictionary so it doesn't have the negative connotation of an angry red line attached to it. 

This show

is my comfort blanket. 

and right now I'm reading:      

Both are fantastic.

And even better when enjoyed simultaneously.

Egypt, I'm proud of you.

 

You're journey has been incredible to witness.  

Gratitude

Today has been one long-winded complaint so I'm going to try to spend five minutes thinking about the things I'm grateful for. 

1.  Despite being on duty and having two nasty encounters with vomit, I had a really great halloween weekend.  (Note evidentiary support below)

2.  Despite being completely disengaged in my classes, I'm smart enough to save face...and my GPA, making up for not preparing.

3.  Somehow, someway, I have the skills to help some special people through their challenges and I have no idea where they came form. 

4. Despite being completely torn between two equally fascinating opportunities, I am so grateful to have options. 

5. I realize that without these difficulties, I would not have discovered my strengths. 

But is it too much to ask to discover my strength AND catch a nap at the same time??

The teacher I'll be.

Mr. Feeny is perhaps my favorite.

lol. jk about this one.

I'm ready:

to teach.

to learn.

to run.

I'm armed with my color coordinated to-do lists 

and a head full of study habits and determination.

Listen up.  I don't need any help.
